We don’t have enough room, therefore we have to put our items on sale . It’s not that bad yet, but as we are expecting quite a few deliveries with new products in the next few weeks, we want to empty our warehouse a bit. Who benefits from that? YOU! Because now there are more than 800 kawaii things on sale.

As we will get more new fabrics, we put quite a few on sale. And even if it’s still a while and you don’t care about those holidays at the moment, now is the time to get Halloween and Christmas fabrics. Because they are up to 60% less than usual. You are looking for cute Valentine’s Day stuff? This might be your lucky day too. We have a lot of stationery items on sale, so you’ll find for example many deco tapes with hearts and romantic designs.

Be fast if you’re interested in something, as there is only very limited stock left of those ‘on sale’ items and we won’t get any of them again. To say it dramatically: This is your last chance.

Enjoy shopping.

For Chinese New Year we have a surprise for all our customers again. As it is a tradition to give away red pockets – small red envelopes filled with money gifts – we will give some to you. Well, they won’t contain money but a little surprise. The next 2500 orders that we ship from January 20th on will get a cute red pocket with an adorable dragon design (2012 is the year of the dragon). This may sound a lot, but as we’re getting really many orders each day, we expect them to be gone really soon. So be quick if you want to get one of those cute little pieces of Chinese tradition. The whole team was preparing the envelopes today, it was a lot of fun doing it together.

Another reason to hurry: The next 20 orders over 80 Euros (102 US Dollars or 67 British Pounds) will get a super cute Rilakkuma Fai Chun on top (just valid when you order directly via our website www.modes4u.com)! Fai Chuns are paper decorations with good wishes for the next year that people decorate their homes with. There are two different designs with two different wishes, one wishing good fortune for the new year and one wishing to move on to a higher step (e.g. of success). Get your share of Chinese New Year.

PLEASE DON’T FORGET: Due to Chinese New Year public holidays from January 23rd to January 25th we can’t ship any orders, as all post offices are closed. From Thursday, January 26th we will start shipping again.

It’s just 40 days until Christmas. Today we added a cute Christmas countdown to our website. So you don’t lose track about how much time you still have left to get all those Christmas presents. And of course you can get excited about Christmas time approaching. We also posted the latest shipping dates for all countries. This way you can see when you have to place your order at modes4u the latest so that it still arrives for Christmas on time. We recommend to order as early as possible to avoid any disappointments. Have fun ordering all your presents and check out our new products, we got a lot of new stuff recently.

YAY, we got added to the official San-X retailer list. It’s a really nice compliment to be one of their offical retailers now, we’re very happy about it. San-X is one of the largest character oriented stationary and gift manufacturing companies in Japan and one of our biggest suppliers for cute stationery, bento boxes and accessories. They developed characters such as Rilakkuma, Mamegoma, Kutusita Nyanko, Berry Puppy, Kireizukin or Kamonohashikamo, which are very popular in our shop. We have been working closely together with San-X since we started modes4u.com a couple of years ago, and becoming an official retailer is a nice sign for continuing our good business relations. So look out for all the new cute San-X stuff we will be adding frequently to our shop.
