Hello Kitty makes the perfect gifts for teens and Sanrio fans of all ages, collectors of kawaii plush, anime toys, and adorable home décor. Each Sanrio plush is surface-washable for easy, convenient cleaning and ships in a protective poly bag. For sustained softness, do not machine-wash or use harsh chemical cleaners. Appropriate for ages one and up. Hello Kitty was born in the suburbs of London. She lives with her parents and her twin sister Mimmy who is her best friend. Her hobbies include baking cookies and making new friends. As she always says, "you can never have too many friends!"
