DreamKitty.com and Sick Kids Foundation Partner Up for 2006 Holidays
December 2006 -- The holiday season is a time of joy and giving, and this year DreamKitty.com has decided to help spread some of that holiday spirit by teaming up with the SickKids Foundation.
DreamKitty.com will donate a dollar for every $100 of its sales in the month of December to the Sick Kids Foundation. The donated money will go toward helping the thousands of young patients who need the Sick Kids Foundation to help them overcome their health-related problems.
DreamKitty.com and its employees believe that it is important to contribute to their community and help those in need. The employees at DreamKitty.com expressed that "in a world where there are so many without, it is imperative that we treat our global family with care and respect. We feel that to be able to put a smile on a child's face is one of the greatest joys in the world." DreamKitty.com, and the Sick Kids Foundation will appreciate it if people would "help us help these wonderful, innocent children this December by making your holiday gifts extra special by purchasing them from DreamKitty.com. Every little counts, but the more we can donate, the better."
The Sick Kids Foundation is a non-governmental granting agency focusing on child health and pediatric research. They have contributed to the Canadian and global community, not just through their monetary grants, but also through their inspiration and their vision for healthier children and a better world.
Share the spirit of the holiday season and help those less fortunate.

Everything about
this little cat is cute: the long, pink cable it uses
to connect to a free USB port; the way it
speaks to you in either English or Japanese; and the endearing
manner in which it bashes its keyboard along with you as
you work. Even its rather hefty price tag and the fact
that it takes up one USB port and only provides a meager
two in return, is somehow, cute. If you like cute, then
the Hello Kitty USB hub pretty much has all your cute needs
taken care of. But if you’re not into cuteness, your
probably won’t last five seconds before drop-kicking
it down the garden.

This $79 USB
Hello Kitty responds to your keyboard input by talking
in either Japanese and English, as well as waving
her arms and head. It is at one point referred to as ‘Hello
Kitty Vibration Mascot’, which is humorous in context,
but I’ve just ruined it for your.

Hello Kitty Mouse & Multimedia Keyboard
The candy-colored
keyboard offers quick start buttons (for e-mail, Internet
access, multimedia activities, etc.) as well as a volume
control and wrist rest. Keys are color-coded and available
in Chinese as well. The keyboard works with Microsoft Windows
95, 98, NT, and 2000. As for the mouse, we're not sure which
is cuter-the pretty, pink, portable device itself (which
works with Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP) or
the adorable tin mini-lunch box it comes in.

Hello Kitty USB Hub
This pricey but
oh-so-cute hub includes two ports for connecting your favorite
peripherals. Kitty even responds to your keyboard entry
with motion (moving her head from side to side and typing
on her own keyboard) and sound (speaking English or Japanese).

TRENDS
& PHENOMENA A rabbit jumps all over Hello Kitty's
market niche
Hello
Kitty, that red-bowed icon of cutesyness, has graced the
pencil boxes and coin purses of many a prepubescent girl
for more than 25 years.
But
now she's got competition in the form of a blobby white
bunny aptly named MashiMaro (a twist on the word ''marshmallow''),
first doodled by Korean cartoonists Kim Jae In and Jang
Mi-Yeong in 1999. Rejected as a children's TV show, MashiMaro
soon leaped onto the Internet, eventually landing on pastel-tinted
merchandise all over East Asia. He's just now hopping
across the Pacific and onto the mugs, stickers and even
air fresheners of kids and grown-ups around the USA.
Unlike
Kitty's wide-eyed naiveté, this rabbit wears a
more world-weary expression. Call him a cuddly cynic.
''Many boys buy him, too,'' marvels Edward Liao, founder
of Toronto-based dreamkitty.com, an online store devoted
to all critters cute and small. The 300-plus MashiMaro
goodies are outselling Hello Kitty kitsch. ''Boys wouldn't
go near Hello Kitty.''

DreamKitty.com,
the Canadian online retailer of Japanese toys and gifts
celebrates rapid growth.
Privately-owned online store of toys and gifts featuring
popular Japanese characters reports 800% rise in sales
between January and July 2000.
Toronto, ON, Canada - August 2000 - DreamKitty.com
announces 800% rise in sales since launching its on-line
store in later December 1999. DreamKitty.com is positioning
itself as the leading online retailer of Japanese toys
and gifts featuring popular Japanese characters like Hello
Kitty, Tare Panda, Buru Buru Dog, and Pokémon.
"We are pleased with the success of DreamKitty.com.
We believe that this is due to our unique selection of
hard to find items that fans and collectors are in search
of," said Edward Liao, Founder of DreamKitty.com.
The average order at DreamKitty.com currently ranges between
$80-$100 US. Orders in excess of $300 US are not uncommon.
The site receives on average 500,000 hits per month. "The
greatest challenge for us is keeping up with customer
demand. For example, the Hello Kitty mouse featured in
the June 12 edition of Newsweek in the Cyberscope section
was our hot seller for June," states Liao. Many customer
service inquiries are requests for more products.
As Dreamkitty.com is dedicated to offering genuine Japanese
toys and gifts many products are rare editions with only
a limited quantity. Currently the store features over
200 products including plush toys, kitchen appliances,
household electronics, bathroom accessories, school supplies,
cellular phone accessories, and interior car décor.
DreamKitty.com currently accepts Visa, MasterCard, and
AMEX through secure real-time online transactions. Unlike
many online retailers DreamKitty.com ships to anywhere
in the world.
During the month of August 2000, DreamKitty.com will run
a banner ad campaign on Yahoo! to promote two popular
Japanese characters - Hello Kitty and Tare Panda. Newcomers
and fans of Hello Kitty, Tare Panda, Buru Buru Dog, and
