Cuteness Done Right

Korea is the place to go when you want something that’s truly cute.  So what better place to shop for baby gifts?

A woman in my church is about to have a baby (or maybe she did since I last saw her), so I thought I’d see if I could find a little something.  There’s a store with a super cute sign near my apartment and I see it all the time.  For a while now I’ve secretly wanted to peek in, and finally I had a legitimate excuse!

So today I went inside.  The man was very nice and spoke a lot of English, and all the clothes were more than cute (of course).  He wrapped the gift for me when I bought it, though, so all you get to see are pictures of the wrapping.  But let me tell you—Korea does it right!  How cute is this?

Dear Baby Wrapped Gift

And it goes inside this bag (front and back):

Dear Baby Bag 2

I’m sure now you understand why my heart had secretly been yearning to go inside this store for weeks.  The sign is similar to the first side of the bag…and oh, it’s more than super cute!  *gush*

And on a semi-unrelated note, after a test I hope was grueling but feasible, one of my students paused after class with a bright smile to offer me this beautifully cute token!

Eraser from Dora

It’s an eraser in a little eraser case.  So cute!  *double gush*

And as if that’s not enough, last night I was gushing over a phonics flashcard depicting that H is for hamster.  The hamster was so fat and so cute my voice rose by two octaves at the minimum.  *super gush!*

Alas, the flashcards are at school, so you’ll have to trust me when I say it was too cute.
