XOXO Hello Kitty Mini Play Kit by Blip at Target

I've been wanting some of these for quite a long time now! I saw TheHollycopter's post about them and immediately fell in love with them. They seemed like a much cheaper alternative to re-ments, or just a cute toy very similar to re-ments.

I purchased, the only two Mini Play Kit's that are being sold at Target currently, the Bloom and Grow set and the Baking Fun set. Target had these on clearance for only $3.99 instead of the original $7.99 price. So, this was definitely a great time to pick these up for myself.

The first box I opened was the Bloom and Grow set, which had 36 individual pieces as well as a surprise gift inside. Each piece was really cute and detailed, although it wasn't super detailed like a re-ment. Some pieces were just a solid color, even over Hello Kitty symbols, or had colors that had spread too far. The tiny snail had the worst coloring of all the items, but some paint and a tiny paintbrush will fix it easily. My favorite item was the tiny little greenhouse shaped like Hello Kitty's head.

 The wind chimes as well as the hanging flower pot could have used some extra colors to make them stand out a little bit better, since both items are really unique and adorable. As for the rack, I am very disappointed with this. It is all painted the same hideous magenta color and it even leans slightly forward, if I don't repaint it, I will probably just put it in one of my many junk drawers.

My review of the Baking Fun set will be up soon!
