Drive my car

[tikistitch]

Someone in Japan was recently notified that tiki got a new car, so they produced a bunch of cutie Stitchie automotive accessories just for us!!!

OK, not really. But, this is a Kleenex holder you can hang on the back of your seat.





See? Hang Stitch by the neck, and pull Kleenex from his tummy. Charming!



Another headrest tissue hanger--someone in Japan must be as sniffly as tiki.



And of course, the Stitch water bottle holder...



...and the Stitch cell phone holder, because you can't use the same Stitch to hold both, ya know?



And of course, the rearview mirror bobble.

And the piece de resistance....



The Stitch parking brake cosy!!

Our car runneth over with Stitch.

Is there a Stitch hot water bottle cover? Because those are really nice. Our British neighbor had a hot water bottle cover that was a dog or something and we had never seen those before. It feels like you're being snuggled by a real fuzzy animal instead of a rubber thing filled with hot water.

More great Jap Stitch stuff from the land where everything is possible!

In response to jabberwockypie: That would be brilliant!

Ya know, there is a Stitchie hot water bottle cover, and I think it was a UK thingie. Let me see if I can find the piccie somewhere.

Awesome! They're so very nice if you have a headache or a tummy ache. (Somehow we got a Boobah one. It's a little scary.) Oh those wild wacky British people and their hot water bottle covers.

Does no-one else have the wonders of hot water bottle covers? But don't you get burnt with your hot water bottles? I mean.. that's the reason they were invented so children wouldn't get burnt by the hot rubber, I assume?

[jabberwockypie.livejournal.com]

I think they're a UK-only thing. We couldn't find one anywhere here in Michigan after Jayne (the aforementioned British neighbor) showed us her's. (I asked my Mom. She says we got the scary Boobah hot water bottle cover off of ebay when my little brother was really into the show.)

waking up to a Boobah in your bed would traumatise me!

Ms Tiki, do you have a catalogue of all the Stitches? Are you going to have a little webpage for your Stitch items?

[tikistitch.livejournal.com]

I think the deal is, nobody in the US really uses hot water bottles. We use heat pads. Thus, no need for the covers.

[sassygirl.livejournal.com]

Are they the things that warm up in the microwaves?
pfff, technology ;)

[tikistitch.livejournal.com]

They're literally electric pads--you plug them in, and they heat up. Not half as nice on a cold night, if you ask me. And if you lay on top of them, you can get burned.

I started a Stitch database a long time ago with my super-nice web hoster dude. But, we kind of abandoned it. I need to start it up again, 'cause it's getting so I don't even know what I have any more. I'll see my web hoster dude in a couple weeks at the Star Wars con, so maybe I'll speak to him about the database.

OHHH electric blankets! I thought you meant ones that have special heat conducting beans/beads in or something. Yes, we have those too but like you say, not as nice as a simple hot water bottle. My grandad used to use one but we always worried about it being a bit dangerous.

[sassygirl.livejournal.com]

It does seem like you have a Stitch for every occasion! It must be nice to have a surprise once in a while when you sift through your Stitch loot! Not so much if you buy the same thing twice though which accidently happened to me, haha oops.

I love that stuff! Have you checked out strapya.com and typed in 'stitch'? OMG...so cute!!!!!!!!!

[primalrage.livejournal.com]

OMG! I could so use a tissue holder! I'm always digging on the floor PRAYING that I tossed some napkins or anything back there to use.

[avalonjones.livejournal.com]

... You pull the tissues out of Stitch's midsection? That's... kind of weird, isn't it?

And I must admit I would have never thought that a parking brake needed a cozy!

[tikistitch.livejournal.com]

Strapya World is the bane of my existence! SO MUCH cute stuff!!

[tikistitch.livejournal.com]

And I must admit I would have never thought that a parking brake needed a cozy!

Thank god for Japan to tell us these things!!

Tiki - I know that all the above will probably stay in their boxes as a collecting item. However, if you happened to buy a dupe, have you ever tried putting Kleenex in any of those accoutrements? I think they're for *Japanese* sized Kleenex boxes/packages. Someone got me a Xmas gift that I thought was a Totoro plushie with secret compartment. She told me that it was a Kleenex holder. What I have either doesn't fit, or entirely disappears into the secret compartment to be utterly useless.

[tikistitch.livejournal.com]

The answer is, "it depends." With a lot of the Japanese tissue covers, if you just get the smaller Kleenex boxes, they work fine. Trouble is, being a sniffly person, I just tend to always buy the mondo sized tissue boxes.

At the anime shop I work at on weekends, we have tissue-box covers that I'm almost certain would fit a standard big flat American tissue box--not the little square ones, though.
