My Hello Kitty Collection

Hello Kitty has been one of my favorite Sanrio characters for years. It didn’t take long for me to start growing a plush collection. From classic designs to seasonal and special-edition releases, each plush has its own unique charm. In this post, I’m sharing some of my favorite Hello Kitty plushies and what makes each one a special part of my collection. I hope you enjoy taking a peek at my cozy corner of the Sanrio world!

Hello Kitty 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Plush

One of the highlights of my collection is this beautiful limited edition Hello Kitty plush created to celebrate Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary. Dressed in shimmering champagne gold fabric with a sparkling rose gold sequin dress and matching bow, she feels extra special compared to the classic red-and-blue Hello Kitty design. The metallic accents and reversible sequins give her a glamorous look while still keeping Hello Kitty’s signature sweet and timeless charm.

As a fan of both Hello Kitty and soft pink aesthetics, this plush immediately caught my eye. I love how elegant she looks on display, and the combination of velvet-like fabric and sequins makes her stand out from the rest of my collection. Since she was released as a special anniversary edition, she also serves as a wonderful reminder of Hello Kitty’s incredible legacy and the joy she has brought to fans around the world for over 50 years.

Hello Kitty 50th Anniversary Squishmallow

This adorable Hello Kitty Squishmallow was released to celebrate Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary, making it one of the most unique pieces in my collection. Dressed in soft pastel pink with a matching bow and embroidered anniversary details, this plush combines Hello Kitty’s timeless charm with the signature squishy softness that Squishmallows are known for.

I love how simple yet elegant this design is. The gentle pink color palette fits perfectly with my collection, and its incredibly soft, marshmallow-like texture makes it one of the coziest plushies I own. As a limited edition anniversary release, it feels like a wonderful keepsake celebrating 50 years of one of the world’s most beloved Sanrio characters. Whether displayed on a shelf or used as a comfy cuddle buddy, this Squishmallow is a special addition to my Hello Kitty collection.

Hello Kitty Boba Plush

This adorable Hello Kitty boba plush is one of the sweetest additions to my collection, both because of its design and the memories attached to it. I found her at Alice’s Tea Shop in Mystic, Connecticut, when Brandon and I visited together. Bringing home a plush from one of our trips makes it feel like a special souvenir that reminds me of the wonderful time we spent exploring Mystic.

I absolutely love the creative design of this plush. Hello Kitty is transformed into a pink bubble tea complete with a striped straw, chewy boba pearls, and a bright red apple logo on the front. The soft pastel pink color palette makes her fit perfectly with the rest of my collection, while the playful bubble tea theme gives her a unique look that stands out. Every time I see her on my shelf, I’m reminded of that fun day in Mystic and the happy memories Brandon and I made together.

Hello Kitty Unicorn Cupcake Squishmallow

This Hello Kitty Squishmallow is one of the cutest and most whimsical plushies in my collection. I found her at Marshalls, and I couldn’t resist bringing her home. With her pastel rainbow frosting, striped unicorn horn, and soft pink bow, she combines three of my favorite things: Hello Kitty, Squishmallows, and dreamy pastel colors.

One of my favorite details is the cupcake-inspired design, complete with colorful sprinkles and a swirled frosting top that gives her a magical, dessert-like appearance. Like all Squishmallows, she’s incredibly soft and perfect for cuddling, but she also makes a charming display piece thanks to her unique design. Finding Sanrio treasures at Marshalls always feels like a fun surprise, and this plush has become one of the sweetest additions to my Hello Kitty collection.

Hello Kitty 50th Anniversary Pastel Squishmallow

Another special piece in my collection is this limited edition Hello Kitty Squishmallow celebrating Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary. While it shares the same soft, squishy shape as the pink anniversary version, this one stands out with its beautiful pastel color palette. From the pink-and-blue bow to the matching pastel accents, it has a dreamy look that perfectly fits my love for soft, colorful designs.

One of my favorite details is how simple yet elegant this anniversary edition feels. The pastel colors give it a fresh twist on Hello Kitty’s classic appearance while still staying true to her iconic design. Like the rest of my Squishmallows, it’s incredibly soft and makes a wonderful cuddle buddy, but it also looks adorable displayed alongside my other 50th anniversary plushies. It’s a lovely keepsake that celebrates five decades of one of Sanrio’s most beloved characters and is a cherished part of my Hello Kitty collection.

The subtle heart pattern scattered across her plush fabric adds a sweet touch without overwhelming the design, making her feel both playful and elegant.

As someone who loves soft pink aesthetics, it’s easy to see why this plush found a place in my collection. I appreciate how the different shades of pink work together to create a simple yet eye-catching design, while the metallic bow gives her a special anniversary feel.
