Win a rolly-polly kitty--this sweet cat "Mews" when cuddled!
Last month I drove down to Philadelphia to visit a dear friend who was in town for a conference. While she was at the conference, I had fun bopping around the city.
I had no plans to do any shopping. That is until I came upon the Omoi Zakka Shop. The tiny store is packed with unique and adorable products--everything from lifestyle items, men's and women's clothing and stationery. Omoi is based on the Japanese zakka shop and features "anything that enhances your personal space, your life or your appearance."
Take a peek.
Omoi on Pine Street in Philadelphia
Cat lovers: I walked into the shop to browse and walked out with 4 purr-producing kitty-related items. And, you have a chance to win one of the Yura Koro Tamago "Meow" egg kitties that I picked up at the shop. I want to share a little taste of my trip to Philly. Just enter the giveaway below! (Yes, I was thinking of you on my vacation!)
The owner and curator of the shop, Liz Sieber, loves cats. It's pretty obvious from all the cute cat items that the store offers. Liz is owned by Yuki, which means "snow" in Japanese, although she's an all-black cat. Liz is warm and welcoming, as is her staff. I highly recommend stopping at this charming treasure shop if you are in town. A reviewer from Yelp said Omoi is, "a little slice of Tokyo in the heart of downtown Philly."
Below are just a few of the kitty items the store sells.
Yura Koro Tamago Meow Cat (Rolly-Polly Kitties) Giveaway
I bought 3 adorable rolly-polly "Meow" egg kitties. I had to have one, so one for me. *Smile.* One for my sweet niece who has 2 cats. And a chance for you to win the one in the above video, my friend. Just leave me a comment and tell me who it's for.
The Yura Koro Tamago egg kitties "Meow" for attention and when you cuddle them, they give a happy "Mew!"
I'll throw in these fun kitty stickers I bought at Omoi, too.

OTHER CAT ITEMS YOU'LL FIND AT OMOI
Owner's Favorite Kitty Pick: Solar Powered "Maneki Neko" or Welcoming Cat
Solar-powered welcoming cats.
The solar-powered "Maneki Neko" is Liz's favorite kitty-related item in the shop.
She said, "Each one is made in Japan with kimono silk bodies and solar powered tails, and are inspired by Japanese maneki neko, (traditionally these are shown with a waving paw, rather than waving tail). The white kitty welcomes good luck, gold welcomes good fortune and black welcomes good health." Contact Omoi for more information on the Maneki Neko.
Necono Digital Camera and Pouch
Ceramic Necono Digital cat camera with pouch.
The Necono Digital Camera is the sweetest little camera you've ever seen. The camera, in the shape of a mod striped cat, takes both regular photos and video. The cat has tiny magnets on its paws so you can place it in unusual spots. You'll have to wait until you unload the photos on your computer to see what you shot. Watch the video to see how the camera works.
Wooden Cat Tape Dispensers
These wooden cat tape dispensers have purrs-onality!
How can you resist these wooden scotch tape dispensers in the shape of a cat. Office work will be so much more fun. The dispensers are available in black wood or natural.
The store wrapped up my purchases, in nice Japanese presentation style.
