-Bethany Bassler

On November 1 we’ll be celebrating the 35th birthday of one very special kitten — Hello Kitty — who luckily for her doesn't look a day over 3! This lover of “small cute things” has charmed her way into the hearts of countless celebrities including Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Sarah Jessica Parker and Miley Cyrus. She’s come a long way from her humble debut on a tiny vinyl coin purse, and now graces everything from toasters to airplanes. If you ask us, it’s her perpetual sweetness that allows this cougar to retain her kittenish charm. Get into the celebratory mood with one of these Hello Kitty anniversary items.
