Getting packages in the mail is always fun—but what if opening them could be even more exciting? 🎁 Say hello to the new star of your doorstep: PICO FRIENDS ダンボールカッター 開梱用, launching on March 19, 2025!
These aren’t just box cutters. They’re adorable sliding animals that glide across cardboard like they’re skating on ice 🐾❄️ — all while safely opening your packages! Talk about a fun upgrade to your everyday unboxing. 😄📬
🎉 Tiny Helpers, Big Unboxing Joy
Thanks to online shopping and flea market apps, we’re getting more packages at home than ever. But let’s be honest—ripping open tape with your keys or scissors? Meh. 😅
That’s why the folks at PLUS Corporation teamed up with the creative minds at Niji Inc., a design studio known for playful products, to create a box cutter that’s both useful and adorable.
Say hello to your new unboxing buddies:
-
🦭 A chubby seal sliding on its belly
-
🐧 A baby penguin waddling in for duty
-
🐻❄️ A fluffy polar bear on a glide mission
Each one costs ¥1,540 (tax included), and they're honestly so cute you might just display them on your shelf when not in use. 📦💕
🧊 How It Works (Hint: It’s Ice Cool!)
These animal friends look like they’re sliding across an icy surface—and that’s exactly how they work! The bottom of each figure has a hidden ceramic blade, tucked safely underneath. Just place the animal on your package tape, give it a gentle push, and watch it swoooosh across the box as it slices through the tape.
It’s like a mini ice show every time you get a delivery! ⛸️📪
-
The silicone body feels soft and smooth 🫧
-
Designed to fit perfectly in your hand
-
The blade is rust-resistant and safe for frequent use
-
Set to a fixed depth (5mm) so you won’t accidentally damage what’s inside 🛡️
This isn’t just safe—it’s smart, especially for kids helping out (with supervision), frequent online shoppers, or anyone who wants to smile while opening boxes. 😊📦
🔒 Safe Storage with a Splash of Fun
Not using it right now? No problem! Each animal sits on a cute ice-like base with a slide-lock cover to protect the blade. 🧊🔐
And here’s a fun twist: inside the icy base, there’s a tiny hidden fish swimming underneath 🐟❄️—just a little surprise to keep things fun even when your cutter is at rest.
Between the clever design and joyful details, this isn’t just a tool. It’s a conversation piece, a collectible, and possibly the cutest gift ever for animal lovers, stationery addicts, or anyone who’s obsessed with cute Japanese desk gadgets. 🎀🛍️
