You'll find them all here.

Have a great weekend!

Remember our trip to LA back in June? Following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Gwen Stefani asked Momiji to be part of her fabulous High Tea party to raise funds for Save the Children’s work there.

Gwen’s party guests each took time to paint a Chiyo Momiji doll, these were packaged up and sent with messages of love to children and families affected by the tsunami.

Yumi from Save the Children Japan sent us images of the packages arriving in Rikuzentakata. She said the girls thought they were super-kawaii!

Big thanks to all the fabulous guys & girls from Save the Children, No Doubt, Rebel Waltz and Royal/T who made this happen.

Right, who's up for a treasure hunt? This weekend we've got four of our lovely Momiji x Hello Kitty mugs up for grabs.

Hidden around the many pages of www.lovemomiji.com we've placed 6 spine-chilling (ish) images of halloween themed stuff. There are 6 in total and you'll need to spot at least 5 to enter. Just make a note of all of the different pictures you find and send the list of them to us at competitions@momijihq.com along with your name and the email address you used to register with the Momiji Collective (you'll need to part of the collective to enter.)

All the images are visible in all the regional sites so you don't need to change your location to search international versions of the shop. We're not that mean.

You must find at least 5 of the images in order to enter.
Entries with fewer than 5 images cannot be excepted.

There is no cash alternative.

Congratulations! We'll send each of you a Hello Kitty mug of your choice. (Check your email today; we'll be in touch.)

We've got 3 Momiji goodie bags and we really want to give one away to YOU! Each one is brimming with fabulous free Momiji stuff.

Taking part in this weekend's competition is easy peasy.

1. Make sure you're following us Twitter http://twitter.com/momijiHQ

2.Complete this sentence I'm filling my @momijiHQ shopper with...

3. Include this hashtag in your answer #MomijiWin so that we can find your tweet.

Make sure you tweet before 9.30am on Monday 23rd May (UK time)

We'll choose our 3 favourites next week. We're not looking for your usual weekly shopping list, so take a Mary Poppins approach to filling your bag...what would you carry home in your Momiji shopper after a dream shopping trip? A panda named Phil? A New York apartment? A mountain of iced buns? Robert Pattinson? Let's not allow the laws of logic or practicality get in the way.

Only one entry per person, if you please.

Good luck!

We're sipping "champagne", cutting the crusts off our cucumber sandwiches and practising our curtseys. There are only four of us in at Momiji HQ today but Deb, Emma W and I are thoroughly enjoying the royal wedding shenanigans (although Rich is not such a fan - he's keeping out of it all.)

Do excuse us as we indulge in the opportunity to show off our decorations, home-made crowns and cheap supermarket fizz. Impressed?

Good luck Wills & Kate! Anyone doing anything fun to celebrate tomorrow?

Friday was Red Nose Day so we took the opportunity to turn off our computers and devote the afternoon to cake, lame attempts at fancy dress and a table football competition. For those of you outside of the UK, Red Nose Day is created by the good folks at Comic Relief who raise millions each year for people living tough lives in the UK and Africa.

A few people from other offices popped by to take part and eat Bakewell Tarts. The guys next door ended up beating us 5-1in the final, so we won’t be letting them in again.

Here are a few pictures of us looking like a bunch of losers.

If you’d like to donate to Comic Relief you can do that here. .

We’re a little ashamed at how long it’s been since we wrote anything on this page. Do excuse us but we’ve been Gallivanting (with a capital G.).

LA, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and New York have all been getting the Momiji treatment over the past couple of months. We met some lovely people, ate rather a lot of delicious food, endured ice storms, lost a wallet, met a dog called Dolly and spotted a celeb or two.

Here are a few shots from the New York leg of our journey. Respect to Hannah for her fabulous photographs.

Our first couple of days were devoted to setting up our booth at the New York International Gift Show.

We squeezed in a spot of shopping too.

Chelsea Market is an amazing place for food, tonnes of restaurants, cafes, delis and posh grocery stops.

Loving Hannah’s images of the skyline...

The weather was crazy. The snow in the park looked super pretty, but trying to get about was a challenge. I’ve never spent so long trying to get a cab in my life. There were tears (partly due to the cold wind and partly due to the fact that my fingers felt like they were going to snap off.)

Hannah managed to stumble upon the set of ‘Arthur’ and spotted Russell Brand and Helen Mirren. Then she spotted this old banger outside the New York Library.

And finally a few atmospheric shots. We love you NYC.

How’s 2011 working out for you? If you’re back at work, school or college this week we’re sending you super-strength positive vibes; we know how difficult those early starts can be. 2011’s going to be tip-top; there’ll be new launches arriving throughout the year, plenty of new designers joining the Momiji crew as well as a few trips around the globe as we spread the Momiji love.

The arrival of the new handy zip-up shoppers has caused much new year merriment here. They’re beautiful AND useful.
Check them out then go forth and shop.

What have you got planned for the year ahead? If there’s anything you’d like to see from Momiji leave us a comment and let us know.

Make sure you’re following us on facebook and twitter; we feel a giveaway coming on...

It’s Christmas Eve, and all over the world families and friends are getting together to spend the festive season with each other.

But each family has their own little traditions for this time of year. Those of us in Momiji HQ who have families of their own have shared their Christmas traditions with all of us. Read on and enjoy your Christmas Eve.

Emma

“Christmas Eve is spent with my in laws drinking Polish Vodka and eating pickled herrings, Barzcz (beetroot soup) and Pierogi (potato dumplings). Back home to put out a glass of something warming for Father Christmas along with a mince pie and large carrot!
When the children wake it’s all in to our bed for the opening of presents from the stockings which always include a Satsuma, a walnut and some Turkish Delight (even though nobody likes it!) Jonny, my huasband, then creeps down stairs in dramatic fashion to check we’ve had a visit before the children get the OK to pile into their respective ‘present corners’.
Breakfast is made to the sound of traditional carols, cheesy but very festive. “

Joy

“Our christmas day starts glass of champagne (or two!) mid Christmas morning while we all sit around the tree opening presents”

Cameron

“I always get the same Christmas present from my Mum. She gets really cheap (!) bird seed and gives me enough to feed the birds in my garden for nearly a year. I ran out last week and will soon have a re-fill!”

Whatever you might be doing today, have a great Christmas eve and an even better Christmas day!

There are Momiji fans all over the world. It's great to hear about all your local traditions especially at this time of year when everyone is celebrating together.

One of our designers, Adolie Day has been telling us a little bit about her French Christmas plans.

This year will see her starting a whole new set of traditions with her partner and new baby.
She's hoping for lots of chocolate, shoes and other pretty things stacked underneath the Christmas tree this year.

One French tradition that we're particularly taken with involves cake (surprise, surprise). The 'Galette des rois' or ‘King Cake’ is a delicious almondy cake that French families share during the festival of Epiphany which falls just after Christmas.

There's a little trinket hidden inside each 'Galette des rois' and whoever finds it is crowned King or Queen of the day.

Cake AND trinkets; who could resist?

If you have any Christmas traditions that you'd like to tell us about, write about them on our facebook page.
