Blindbox

So for my niece's birthday she got a lot of blindboxes.  I first heard about them referred to as blindbags and had to understand it conceptually which took quite a bit of time. 

Me:  So you don't know what the bag is. 
Sister:  No. 
Me:  Oh I see when you open it you are surprised about what bag you get. 
Sister:  No, the thing is in the bag. 
Me:  Oh, what thing? 
Sister:  Anything. 
Me: So it's not like a handbag. 
Sister:  No.
Me:  Ok [google]. 

Now here I was, experiencing it for the first time when my sister jammed a small plastic "bag" into my hand.  One two three! she yelled and I'm made to understand I have to open the bag at the count of three.  I did and inside was Purin holding on to cat balloon which in turn was attached to a keychain so when you hold the keychain Purin looks like he's flying away.  Cute. 

What did you get?  Everyone yelled immediately and wanted to see.  I showed mine and saw others.  We all compared bonding over plastic variations of the sameish thing.  My daughter got Purin too except hers had a mat finish while mine had a shiny finish. Both Purins were wearing scarves and the scarves were different colors.  My son got mat finish cinnamoroll and the cat ballon had a bow on it (mine had no bow).     

What fun.
