SWEET BREAMS

Super thoughtful gift from P. + M.  Thank you SO much!!!

We are so lucky to be loved EVERY day of the year, and not just on Valentine’s Day.  We could dedicate another whole blog to photos of your gifts (we’re SO spoiled by you!), words of wisdom, and cool links that you share with us.  Your kindness, generosity, love, and friendship continues to amaze us.  =)

Catch of the Week: Choco-Cherry — we <3 this combination of Bing cherries with our choco batter. We also <3 each of you!

J. sent us this link to Ochre Jelly’s Miyazakitopia project, a Lego tribute to Miyazaki.  My Neighbour Totoro is one of our favourite movies of all time and Legos are one of our favourite toys of all time, so we were extremely excited to see our friends, O Totoro, Chuu Totoro, Chibi Totoro, Mei, and Satsuki created out of Legos.  The completed diorama will be on display at BrickCon 2010 this October, as part of the “Big In Japan” collaborative themed display.

Speaking of Legos, how clever is this? Muji teamed up with Lego to add an innovative and fun way to play with our childhood classic toys.  It’s right up our alley, combining our love of papercraft + our extensive Lego collection + our adoration of all things Muji.  Our punch is on its way, and we can’t wait to make a bunch of fun creatures to decorate the shop.  =)

CATCH OF THE WEEK: Almond Toffee — yummy in your (+ our) tummies.

We can only hope that Sweet Breams evokes a feeling similar to the sense of giddiness + wonder we experience whenever we step into this store in Roppongi Hills.

We think it’s great that our customers were so giving this past holiday season, and were incredibly flattered that you came to us for your gift giving needs.  However, we caught you looking at some of the items for yourself.  =) We are very impressed that you exercised such restraint!  But now, you can treat yourself to something fun + awesome as we’re having our WINTER SALE:

* Select items are up to 30% off!

* 2 piece sushi squeaker toy combo sets are $10.50, which is 25% off (you’re essentially buying one and getting a second one half off).  The cute packaging + Sprocket/Dug approval are just awesome bonuses.

* Let your love for Sweet Breams be known to all and buy a Sweet Breams logo tee, now only $12 or 2 for $20!

CATCH OF THE WEEK: First one of 2010 — seems only fitting that it’s Black Sesame.

We gave away our last T is for Taiyaki bag a couple of weeks ago.  We’re happy that they’re so popular + love to hear when they’ve been spotted by you on the streets.  We will definitely have an all new eco-friendly Breamie bag in 2010.

2009 was a fantastic year for us — we had planned on writing a post similar to the Best of 2009 one our friends at Josef Boutique wrote, recapping all of the amazing memories from the past year.  But, we decided that may end up boring you, so instead we’re resolving to making 2010 an even more awesome year (and to remember to blog about it more properly!).

Thank you again, so very much, for your friendship, love + support.  We can’t wait to see you in 2010.

CATCH OF THE WEEK: Oatmeal-Cranberry — oatmeal batter with white chocolate cranberry filling. Yes, we’re on a white chocolate kick lately. =)

IMPORTANT: **We will close at 8P on December 31st, and will be closed on January 1st.**
