Freaky Valentine’s Card!

Dear Freak Mascot,

With Valentine’s Day being just around the corner I thought I would send you a card to mark the special occasion. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not asking for a date or anything - let’s make that clear right now! I just thought it was unfair to see the Lovestruck, Sweet, and Cute Mascots get all the attention at this time of year simply because, unlike yourself, they don’t look really weird! So here it is…


As you can see I have managed to incorporate the traditional Valentine loveheart theme into the card and, even with your bizarre looking self at the centre of things, I reckon it still works as a usable Valentine’s card. Of course I’ve no idea who anyone in their right mind would send it to, but at least this way you don’t have to sit on the sidelines and miss out on all the Valentine’s Day fun!

Happy Valentine’s Day,
Annabelle Hutchinson. Aged 27.



Thanks Annabelle. It’s always nice to be included. Just one question - what on earth is Valentine’s Day?

Always blissfully unaware,
Freak Mascot :)

Creative Taylor’s Beautiful Boutique!

As an expert in all things cute, not to mention an incredibly cute expert, I usually like to help girls out by finding sweet gifts and goodies for them to treat themselves to. After all, who doesn’t like a treat now and again? Mainly now, actually! For this post however I’ve decided to help out the boys. For with Valentine’s Day a mere week away I think we can all safely agree that these poor creatures need all the help they can get! No offence boys!


This is the work of the incredibly talented designer and illustrator Melanie Taylor at her Zazzle shop, The Creative Taylor Boutique. Pretty sweet, isn’t it? The Creative Taylor Boutique is a one stop shop of cuteness where otherwise useless boyfriends (again, no offence boys!) can shop safely, securely, and above all else, sweetly - safe in the knowledge that their purchases are guaranteed to please! Of course, there is always the chance that your boyfriend won’t have actually read this, so, just to be on the safe side, why not pop on over and treat yourself anyway? After all, if we all waited around for our boyfriends to get things done …? Well… I’ll let you add your own punchline :)

Always keeping things sweet,
Sweet Mascot :)

Kawaii-o-vision! The Future is Cute!

Dear Ed Mascot,

Although it pains me to admit it, I have to confess that up until a month ago I had absolutely no idea what kawaii was. Of course, being an eccentric inventor does mean most of my time is occupied with putting out fires and rebuilding the house! Thankfully I have a very understanding wife :) Anyway… to cut a long story short I have recently discovered the glorious world of kawaii and, taking inspiration from your posts on kawaiification, have invented these…


I know, they’re brilliant, aren’t they? I call them kawaii-o-goggles, and I’m pretty sure they’re going to be the next big thing in the world of kawaii! No more waiting around for someone else to make the world a cuter place - just slip on a pair of these beauties and you’re good to go! Pretty smart, huh? And that’s just the beginning! In the future I’m hoping to have a whole range of kawaii-o-vision products! I reckon they could really take off!

Yours sincerely,
Prof. Alfred J Pembleton



Wow! That’s one great invention you’ve got there Professor! I can’t wait to see them in shops, where I have absolutely no doubt they’ll sell by the truckload! Be sure to keep in touch and let us all know how you get on with your project!

Keep up the good work,
Ed Mascot :)

Cute Designs for Valentines

Ahhh February… my favourite time of year! The time of year when everyone’s thoughts turn to love and romance! Well, almost everyone. I don’t suppose the Grumpy Mascot will be getting too excited, but then again, when does he? For the rest of us however, February means only one thing - Valentine’s Day! And luckily this year I’ve found just the shop to pick up that special something for that special someone…


See what I mean? These incredibly cute creations and characters are the work of Cute Designs at Etsy, and what girl wouldn’t be happy to get one of these on February 14th . Specialising in adorable amigurumi and pretty plushies, Cute Designs is the perfect place to find that perfect gift for that perfect girl. Not that I’m dropping hints or anything :) Well… maybe just a few :)

Always happy to be your Valentine,
Lovestruck Mascot :)
