First discovery!

OK guys it's been a LOOONG TIME since I last posted to you all, 



but anyway, better kickstart my new project of online discoveries and the first one is this, the Desu-box!



From what I've seen it's a super cool guy called James who's going to be providing subscription boxes of Japanese sweets and snacks, imported straight to your door!




It's kinda like the Oyatsubox if you've ever heard of that, but luckily for us, James is in UK so that saves a lot of hassle.




here's their logo 

funky stuff right?




Desubox are gonna start a kickstarter campaign to get themselves heard on the largescale, and they're also holding an epic giveaway right now too, you can win 10 boxes of Pocky, amazing right?



Here's a link to the epic comp, and from there you can explore the website too, bright colours galore



Anyway that's it for today, if you win then I'll be pretty jealous haha!
