Top 10 Cutest YouTube Videos

October 15, 2011

If you follow Kigurumi-Shop on Facebook, then you know that we often post videos at the close of every night. Did I mention that they’re always CUTE videos?!?

Yeah, I know. Sometimes the videos are a little much to handle (because they’re so friggin’ cute!!!!), but we love them so much that we’re devoting this blog post to our top 10 favorites.

 

10) At number 10 we have…Baby monkeys!!!!

I love these guys. They’re just so cute and innocent…and maybe even a little naughty! :O

 

9) I love seeing the special affection two animals have for each other displayed in ways that all of us can understand.

Something even as simple as holding hands can be magical, as we see here with these two lovers! <3~

 

8) I find animals of different species hanging out together so fascinating. That’s why I’ve chosen this adorable little video. Ugh! When the kitteh grabs the doggy closer for a cuddle hug…my heart just melts!!!

 

7) Any of you who have ever had a dog before know the wtf expression they often give to their owners. This is perhaps the funniest depiction of said display of anarchy against their owner’s authority. He is taking a nap and his owner has the audacity to make him take a walk.

Pffft! I would react the same way!

Applause to this cutie, who makes it in at number 7 on my favorites list.

 

6) I love kittens. I love them all the time. This video has a lot of kittens. What can I say. I’m in love. <3333333

This video is a classic, filled with heart-stopping fluffay-ness, which I will never get tired of.

 

5) Penguins. Everyone knows that it’s a scientific FACT; penguins are the cutest and coolest animals EVER. Period. Argue with me. I dare you.    <.<    >.>   <.<

This Penguin is wearing a backpack…a penguin backpack. :O I just died from how adorable this is.

 

4) This video is awesome. And let me explain why, to those of you who are at this very moment questioning my motives for making it my number 4 favorite,

THE KITTEH IS PLAYING!!

Yup that’s right. An awkward little uncoordinated kitten, playing with everything he can get his paws on. And he’s FLUFFAY! If you’ve read this blog post up to here, then you already know that I love kittens.

 

3) This video comes in at number 3. I still remember the first time I saw it. I squeeled so loud that I scared everyone. It’s adorable. Another fact, if you’re keeping track of these things.

An exotic kitten meowing. The cutest sound ever!

 

2) And so we’ve made it to number 2.

This is tough for me, but I think I’ve made the right choice.

If you like cute fluffy things like me, which, I tend to consider myself an expert on these things, then you’ve already watched this video more than 5 times.

I think I’ve pretty much done the same thing as this little guy in a few classes at school. He pulls it off though. Don’t worry, I won’t tell  anyone that you fell asleep. ;)

 

1) When I first thought about writing this, there was no question in my mind about which video I would crown as number 1 on my favorites list.

I love this video so much…you have no idea. Seriously. I’ve even imitated the bunny on the left irritating the bunny on the right with my special someone. Yeah. You can imagine how annoying that is. Another fact, which I am VERY proud of. :D

If you haven’t seen this video yet, click immediately. Because I have just changed your life.

You’re welcome. >.<

….

….

Oh come on! You didn’t think I’d just pick 10 videos did you????

This last video, is my ultimate favorite video of all time.

It’s so breath-takingly cute that I don’t have the will in me to give it a number. As much as I love kittens (as we’ve established more than once here) I happen to have a secret obsession about penguins. Uh oh! Omg…don’t tell anyone!!! Oh geez, I made it awkward again… <.<  >.>  <.<

Just watch the video. It’s the new craze that is taking over the world. And this guy is a celebrity in my world for sure.

Cookie for president!!!

Win a Free Kigurumi | Draw Yourself in a Kigurumi | Contest Closed

October 5, 2011

Cute Giraffe

This cute little guy will be the judge for the Kigurumi Shop Staff Pick, and he calls it how he sees it.

 

This contest is closed. Please scroll down to see the winners.

 

We’re having another kigurumi contest, but this time we’re switching it up a bit. This contest will give those who don’t have a kigurumi a chance to win one. Yay for free kigurumi!

For this contest, we want you to draw a picture of yourself in a kigurumi… in the natural environment of the kigurumi. What’s that mean?? Well, if you draw yourself in a giraffe kigurumi, maybe you’ll be on the savannas of Africa… or maybe you’ll be sleeping at your desk in class. As always, be creative! The more ridiculous the better, I say. But, then again, I say that about pretty much everything…

The Rules

Your Own Drawing

For this contest, we are requiring that you must own the drawing that you are submitting. By submitting a drawing, you are declaring that you are the owner of the drawing. You also must be OK with us using the drawing on our Facebook page and our blog. And we will be selling prints of your submitted art work to help pay for my ice cream addiction.

Just kidding. I’m not addicted. I can stop whenever I want… I just don’t want to right now.

<.<

>.>

Any Type of Media other than Photos or Video

You can use any type of media to create your work of art, but no photos, please. However, you can use a camera to take a picture of your drawing or painting… or life-size sculpture. If you want to use computer graphics or illustration software, by all means do so! But no motion graphics or videos.

How to Enter

Email your work of Kigurumi art to contest@kigurumi-shop.com. We’re only allowing one entry per person and don’t forget about the “natural” environment of your kigurumi!

How to Win

Just like the last contest, there will be two winners. One person will win for having the most Facebook “Likes” on his or her submission by 5:00pm Pacific Daylight Time on Sunday the 16th. The other winner will be a Kigurumi Shop Staff Pick!

We will add the submitted drawings to a Facebook photo album as soon as possible so your friends can start voting. We usually add submissions for the day all at once at some point in the evening (PDT).

The Prize

A free kigurumi plus free shipping! The winners will be declared Sunday. Be sure to check back here to see who the winners are!

Please note that you must live in an area that we ship to or be willing to have the kigurumi shipped to a friend or relative, should you win.  We do ship internationally and we reach a good portion of the world, but not everywhere. If you usually have problems with ordering online, you might want to check if we can ship to you by entering your address in the checkout portion of our website just to test.

Now get drawing!

Even if your picture doesn’t have the most Likes, be sure to check the blog on Sunday evening. You can still be the Kigurumi Shop Staff Pick! :D

Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter so you can be the first to find out about future contests.

We can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
