Hello Kitty hunting — which involves going to stores like HomeGoods and Marshalls in search of Sanrio products — has become something of a sport at this point. You’ve probably seen at least one TikToker documenting their journey traveling from store to store, whether they were after the Hello Kitty-shaped cookie jar or Hello Kitty blanket. It’s become such a huge thing that people have even started sharing Hello Kitty hunting advice, recommending times that shoppers should arrive at their local store. Some have even traveled to different states for Hello Kitty.

As proven by the viral video above, which was posted earlier this month, the Hello Kitty phenomenon has been going strong all year long, and it shows no signs of slowing down as 2025 gets closer. If there’s someone in your life who can’t resist the nostalgic character, a Hello Kitty-themed gift is sure to be a hit. However, you don’t have to scour multiple stores to find the perfect item: Instead, you can check out our recommendations below!

That’s right: Even Pottery Barn has hopped on the Hello Kitty trend. These pajamas will instantly become their most-worn set, and not just because of the cute heart print. They're also made of organic cotton percale so they’ll feel extra soft against their skin.

Add to your recipient’s tumbler collection with this popular Hello Kitty-themed option. I’m not kidding when I say it’s popular: Over 6,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased it in the last month alone. Why? Well, in addition to the pastel pink color and titular character being printed on the side, the double-wall keeps things hot for four hours and cold for 18.

Another pick that’s a hit with Amazon shoppers is this cozy blanket. Your giftee is sure to appreciate the soft feather knit fabric, which will keep them nice and warm during the colder months. Plus, it’s reversible: One side features a pink background with white Hello Kitty shapes, while the other is the inverse.

If your giftee makes ramen on the regular and loves Hello Kitty, you can give them the best of both worlds with this 20-ounce bowl and chopstick set. The exterior shows Hello Kitty sipping out of a little strawberry, and the chopsticks have a similar print to match.

No one can ever own too many mugs in my opinion, so this gem makes for the perfect gift. Sculpted to look like our favorite cat character, it’s also oversized with a 20-ounce capacity. They’ll definitely want to leave it out on display in their kitchen all the time.

Giftees that always have music playing will thank you endlessly for this speaker, which doubles as a night-light and decor. Hello Kitty’s silhouette sits on top of a pink stand, and they can alternate her color depending on their mood. It’s wireless and rechargeable, so they can show her off on the go, too.

Target
$99.99

This camera will allow you and your giftee to document your memories together in the cutest fashion possible. Similar to a Polaroid camera, it prints ink-free black-and-white photos instantly, and it has a retro vibe that they won’t be able to get enough of.

Amazon

As a Squishmallow owner myself, I can confirm that these plushies really are as soft as they look. Thousands of five-star reviews back up my claim, with many shoppers also praising this one's larger size. It’s bound to be your giftee’s most charming (and coziest) piece of decor.

This mirror will instantly elevate their makeup station. It offers a touch sensor switch, adjustable LED lights, an extendable tray, various light temperatures — all while shaped like Hello Kitty, with her signature bow and all.

Commerce Editorial Assistant at AT Media

I've been a full-time journalist since 2023, but my experience in the field goes back further. I graduated magna cum laude from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where I developed my own major called Culture Writing and Criticism. While working my way up to Editor-in-Chief at the school blog, I earned a number of bylines at TV Guide Magazine, CNN, Decider, and Texas Monthly.At those publications, I mostly focused on art and entertainment. However, I’ve always loved shopping, writing reviews, and service journalism — which is what led me to giving commerce writing a try as an intern at CNN Underscored. There, I had a ton of fun producing beauty and fashion shopping stories, which ended up preparing me for my work as AT's commerce editorial assistant.I’ve long been passionate about interior design and taken pride in the appearance of my space, whether it was my dorm room or my first tiny studio. Exploring that interest professionally has been a dream, and I love thinking about a product from every angle and figuring out if it's really worth it. As someone who was recently on a student budget and works with a small living space, I especially like to find and share items that are compatible with that lifestyle. In my eyes, a great product equally delivers on style and function, ideally at an affordable price point.
