Need a super cute break from the real election? Here's a candidate your kids can really stand behind. Hello Kitty is running for President with her trusty friend Chococat as her running mate. She's leading the "Friendship Party" with a message celebrating friendship, fun and happiness.
To celebrate the campaign, there's the most adorable capsule collection of merchandise. The Hello Kitty for President collection includes unisex t-shirts featuring colorful campaign slogans, as well as a Hello Kitty for President 4-piece button set ($9), canvas tote bag ($34), beverage koozie ($7), and trucker hat ($22). You can view and purchase the products online at Sanrio.com or at select Sanrio stores. (I am still bummed we lost the Sanrio store in San Francisco.) A campaign bumper sticker will be given free with any Sanrio purchase through Election Day (while supplies last). Also, if you make a purchase of $40 or more from the Hello Kitty for President collection at participating Sanrio stores will receive a special presidential rosette featuring Hello Kitty and Chococat.
Hello Kitty is going to hit the campaign trail and you can meet her too! She will be visiting select "Friendship Party Headquarters" (Sanrio stores), where fans are invited to take photos with the candidate and pose with election-themed props.
