Tokidoki is a company founded by designer Simone Legno and his partners Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold. Based in Los Angeles they have built up a unique line of apparel including handbags, cosmetics, accessories and so much more. Now their larger than life kawaii style characters have been bought to life on new gift books and stationery, some of which I have kindly been sent to review.
Here's what Simone had to say about the brand :
"tokidoki is the hope, the hidden energy that everyone has inside, it gives us strength to face a new day and dream about something positive and the hope that something magical will happen to us"

Being the huge stationery addict that I am, I'll admit that I was rather excited about the prospect of receiving new notebooks, a girl can never have to many of them, well that's what I tell my husband anyway. The designs over the products is bright, fun and captures all of the things that many of us have come to love recently including one of my favourite things, unicorns!!
So here is what's included in the range :
365 Days : My Inspired life
365 Days : My Inspired life
This is a journal of sorts, giving you prompts to write something new each day, these prompts include various questions and opportunities to write letters. What this book does is get a person's imagination working, it would make a great gift for aspiring writers.
Flexi Journals : Donutella, Mermicorno, Moofia, Unicorno
Each journal contains 192 pages of lined paper and each page includes some rather cute illustrations. My eldest has taken one and made it into her personal diary. They are also a great size for fitting in your handbag.
Cactus Journal
Just like the flexi journals, this quirky notebook contains 192 pages of lined paper, the difference with this one is that it is a hardback version.
Coloring Book and Coloring Pad
Colouring, its quite therapuetic I'll have you know, especially when the pictures to colour in contain some utterly adorable images. The coloring pad contains 60 pages of coloring, each picture is one sided and can be torn out to give to someone else.
The coloring book is a travel worthy companion with 32 pictures to be coloured in, providing hours of entertainment.
Postcard Book
Now this I love. Included inside are 80 postcards with 40 different designs, half of the cards are ready to send and half need to be coloured in. My 7 year old has taken a shine to these as she wants to use them to send to her pen-pal.
Sketchbook
A hardcover spiral bound sketchbook that contains 120 blank pages, each page is perforated, this means you can tear out your designs with ease so any art work can be displayed.
As you can see my children are already making good use of this one.
Origami Paper Pack
Funnily enough my younger . brother is quite the dab hand at origami and he's always trying to teach my kids how to do it. Inside this book it shows you how to do the folds and gives a demonstration on a couple of items as well.
I'm waiting for my brothers next trip home to get him making some things for the girls, he makes a good fox.
This gorgeous range is rather innovative and priced from £7.99 up to £11.99 it's well worth the money you spend on it. Some of the items can be found over on GMC Distribution and if you are stationery addict like me then you will need to add tokidoki to your collection.
I absolutely love these designs. The covers look really sturdy and well made too. I particularly like the Postcard Book.

I do love the level of detailing (so busy, but in a good way) and the bright colours.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, it must have felt like Christmas, opening a parcel and finding all of these inside!
ReplyDeleteI also tell the husband a girl can never have too many notebooks!
These look sooooo cute! And I hope all that colouring kept your girls quiet long enough to allow you to get a cup of tea and chocolate bar! #readwithme
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute, I bet your girls were so excited! Good job you were sent plenty of books to go around. #readwithme
ReplyDeleteLooks a nice range. What I always struggle to find these days is letter-writing paper for my boys. Used to be loads when I was a kid. Think snail-mail will die out entirely if we can't encourage our kids to write an actual letter
ReplyDeleteThese all look fab! The illustrations are so cute and I love the colouring pad, that would keep a kid entertained for hours! I used to do origami years ago, this set looks like a great introduction (or re-introduction) to it. #ReadWithMe
ReplyDeleteThis looks so much fun! Love the origami paper!! #readwithme
