Hello Kitty Postage Stamps
The problem with living in Japan is that there is absolutely no place that Hello Kitty can’t be found. No matter how innocent the task, Hello Kitty will be there in some shape and form. Take, for instance, a letter I wrote recently. I had the entire letter written, addressed and ready to send when I asked my wife where our stamps were (I do almost all my corresponding over the Internet by email and it’s my wife that sends out a lot of packages and letters for her work). Now, one would assume that postage stamps would be postage stamps, but that is not the case in Hello Kitty Hell.
The Japanese post office actually has made Hello Kitty stamps.
and apparently my wife purchased all of them (only slight exaggeration). I can safely say we have well over $500 worth of Hello Kitty stamps (and only Hello Kitty stamps) in our house which means my letter went out with Hello Kitty plastered on it. Believe me, there can’t be a much more pitiful sight than watching a grown man place Hello Kitty stamps on his letters and it pretty much sums up Hello Kitty Hell…

I saw those at the post office, too, however I don’t know how postage works here. However, my husband has the same views you do of Hello Kitty. Make sure your wife hits the 100 yen stores…. and she can find HK Kotex and bidet’s at the drug store!

500 dollars on stamps…really?
You have to remember that my wife runs a Hello Kitty business through eBay (at least some of them leave here!) – lots of packages to send out and therefore the large amount in stamps…

I’d use those to decorate my school folder. My friend and I like your site because we like to know about all the items Hello Kitty had put her love on.

[...] One of the biggest problems living in Hello Kitty Hell is that if Hello Kitty happens to be on something, then that something can’t be thrown out. That means that whenever I open a drawer, something Hello Kitty usually emerges. It’s not enough that all our stamps are Hello Kitty stamps, but it seems that my wife has been collecting all the used Hello Kitty stamps that have been sent to her (and believe me, every letter and package she receives has Hello Kitty stamps on it since everyone knows what a fanatic she is).

Sorry to make your life more hell, but where can I order Hello Kitty postage stamps in English? Yes, I have a daughter who’s a fan(atic). The page I found on Japan Post’s website is only in Japanese. Thanks!

It won’t make my life any more Hellish because I have a strict policy of not telling – this is for the good of you and your daughter.

I will admit….. I kind of want those.
One of the only three things that i own of hello kitty is a HK Letter set. I do think i need stamps to go with it. (But right now i have Bette Davis, so i’m ok for a while)

I’m surprised your wife consented to HK stamps actually be used for their intended purpose. HKtoiletpaper and HK pinata come to mind here.

I just went back and read the previous comments. I see where you clearly state in plain English, in black and white, in ones and zeroes that you have a strict policy of not telling where to get any of these items. And what does the very next poster plus one ask???
Seriously, I want to postulate that these people have some form of blindness which completely destroys their ability to see anything that does not have HK on it, and this drives their frantic drives to construct around themselves zones containing only objects bearing the likeness of the evil feline.
