Black Friday Starts Tomorrow!

Hi everyone! We just got home from a sadly, underwhelming, AX Chibi! But as promised, I am spending the rest of this week before I head to DesignerCon getting all your outstanding packages out for pin club. In the meantime, I mentioned in the last update that we will be doing Black Friday early this year with a bunch of exciting promos!

This year we will be giving one of our beautiful, high-quality vinyl sticker sheets with every order. All designs are on the table, but it’ll be a fun surprise which one you get! :) These will be perfect for decorating your journal, phone, or maybe some holiday cards you’re planning to send out! We also have a gift pack for orders over $100 that includes our new branded, reuseable eco-bags (perfect for grocery shopping, shopping at cons and holiday events) and an unreleased original pin.

We are also doing 10-20% off your order, and, yes, even secret shop prices qualify!! You can also combine it with the Free Shipping Code I sent out in the last update. If you do not use the Shipping code for combined shipping, I will assume you want your order sent out ASAP. You should be able to combine shipping codes with the discount code, but if there are any issues, please let me know!

And finally, we will be opening up Gacha plays (it’s been awhile since we had plays available online since we mainly sell gacha plays in person), a limited supply of lucky bags (you can pick between original or fan art), and $20 t-shirts.

We will also be doing a giveaway for 3 lucky shoppers to win store credit! And even if you don’t plan to shop the Black Friday event, you can still get a chance to win by sharing our post on IG and tagging either @shishidoprettywinkers or @shishidocreative. I’ll be posting the above image on IG shortly after this email goes out so you can feel free to join the giveaway for $25 shop credit. :)

NEW PRE-ORDERS

Coinciding with the promo, I will also be dropping some new pre-orders on the site. While at AX Chibi this past week, I had a lot of time to work (unfortunately) on some designs I’ve had on the back burner for quite some time. While these won’t be available for a discount during the Black Friday week, you can add it to your order for me to ship out to you at a later date without paying extra for shipping. We have 5 new designs to show you including my first Filipino-inspired design:

The Parol holiday decoration displayed on doors. It was originally created using bamboo and washi, but over time the designs were created with capiz shells and lights. They’re really a beautiful sight to see. And while this design is holiday inspired, the star & floral design is beautiful for wearing year round. I created a sort of “kawaii” pastel variant that is also reminiscent of a cherry blossom in the center, so this one is sort of a combination of both Taka’s Japanese heritage and my own Filipino heritage. The bottom left design is of course inspired by poinsettias for the holidays, and the bottom right is created with the colors of the Filipino flag. I always see a bunch of Filipino sun designs floating around, but wanted something a little different and unique.

Due to the popularity of our dango pin designs, I thought it would be fun to add some more to that line up. These are some of our most simple designs, but they’re so cute and playful. All three of these designs are actually designs I created back in 2020’s original pin club for sticker sheets and have always wanted to pin, but just never got around to vectoring. And below I also have our beloved original version of the classic character, Kintaro (or Fat Baby as I call him). This was also a design featured on our May 2020 Children’s Day sticker sheet.

We hope you love all the new designs and will have fun participating in our Black Friday promos!

If you have any questions regarding the promo, please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email at shishidocreative@gmail.com. It’s the fastest way to get in touch with me as I’ll be focusing my attentions on getting the rest of the club boxes out before I head to D-Con on Friday. Thank you all for your support!
