does anyone know where this little hamtaro bag is from? my mom found it for me at a thrift store when i was 14-15 and ive been keeping my ds & games inside this whole time, but have never been able to find anything like it online n ive always been curious about it.
(it used to have a thin blue over the shoulder strap that clipped onto it but it went missing over the years :c)

Such a cute bag ;w; Quite a nice find too! I tried to do some searching but no luck.

If you haven't already, it may be worth searching on Japanese secondhand shopping sites such Yahoo Auctions Japan. There's a lot more stuff on there than there would be on sites like eBay. とっとこハム太郎 (Tottoko Hamutarō) is the search term I'm using to browse Yahoo JPN at the moment. I have to use a translator to though. Hopefully, another forum user who is fluent and/or who is better at navigating through Japan-based sites like this can help!

Best of luck finding it

(I'm a similar situation trying to find a Hello Kitty clock I had as a kid ><)

Sure thing! Even just finding a picture would be awesome if it's not being sold anywhere online.

The first and main thing I remember is the overall look/shape of it looked much like this:
hello kitty clock

If I remember correctly, the artwork on it featured kitty and a couple of smaller animal side characters she's sometimes featured with. I don't remember the other characters sadly

The clock itself was pink kinda like the above example, but more like this shade:
electric pink

and not shiny, instead more matte.

One of the notable things about this clock is that the minute and hour hands were glow-in-the-dark which was perfect for being to see the time in the middle of the night. In addition to that, it had a tiny light in the front that would turn on whenever you pressed the snooze button on the back.

I could be misremembering but I swear the back of the clock was pink as well. A lot of clocks I've found that are similar but are not the same often have the back of the clocks in black, so that's an outlier to consider when searching.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the alarm on it was digital. It had that classic "beep-beep-beep-beep" alarm noise. I say this because a lot of similar looking clocks seemed to have a little hammer in the middle of the two bells on top that will have it do a more traditional ringing alarm. For example:
clock

My clock and the 1st example i provided are what to look for as it did NOT have the little hammer since it was a digital sounding alarm.
If it helps, I had it around 2003-2005, in case you need a product time frame.

I appreciate you wanting to help me look for it ;w; Thank you in advance ::)

^^ No worries. I had the same results last time I searched. I'm sure at some point it'll appear online. Thanks so much for your effort
