As of recently, I have been spending a great amount of time (and money) at Altoona's Cutie Pie Kawaii, a Japanese candy and plush shop, found inside Chariot Rent-a-Car. I usually go there to buy Amuse plush, squishes, and Japanese candy, but today I found the cutest and softest plush from Disney's Lilo and Stitch. This store is my guilty pleasure, and I love it even more sense I found this little guy there. It is run by a kind, wonderful, small family, who gets all the store's inventory from Japan. They are truly in this business to spread joy, fluffiness, and cuteness for affordable prices. The prices are extremely reasonable. After I left the store, I looked up the price of my Stitch plush online. It was between $50-60 online and only $30 in stores!
I am always my happiest when I am there. I go there every Friday for a perfect way to end my week. This store is the cutest one I have ever seen. I know I am going to be extremely disappointed when I have to go back to Erie for summer break. While I will miss my friends, I will definitely miss this little shop as well. I highly recommend going to it if you haven't already. It's the best decision you will ever make and you will not regret anything (except maybe spending over $75 in plush and candies!).
