F A M I G L I A 家 人
Famiglia means family in Italian... In mandarin we say 家人 or in short Jiā 家 which means home, a safe place where we can always find joy and comfort. Having said that the society today seem to believe the world outside is better therefore when asked to stay home it becomes mission impossible. For the safety of our love ones no matter how tough the situation is with the pandemic, staying home is the best way to protect our family so do think twice before meeting friends or even relatives. Think positive but stay 'negative'
Ban Heang is definitely one of the thickest design I have so far and catches your attention immediately with that sharp color and of course that happy yummy reunion meal while my latest addition Yakult is giving it's three generation family consisting grandpa, grandma, papa, mama and the two siblings a close up celebration shot. Do hop over to my YOY page and check out the past year compilation of (scroll all the way to the bottom to catch them) Yakult family series since 2013.
Big Box Asia family of six are all dressed up for an Ox-picious new year celebration; they are quite a beautiful family indeed hence a popular set among collectors. My News definitely surprised many collectors with a delightful set of six where we can see each of the family members enjoying their time at home doing just about everything. Can you spot all the brands (sponsors)? I like this kind of advertising, pretty, meaningful and cool. Below is Welch with their round table family reunion meal celebration.
Here's another family that is all set and ready to welcome the new year, Big Bath presents their beautiful decorated interior, modern and cozy. Before moving on with a couple of the family reunion themed pairs that I have collected so far we have Homesoy reunion trio with lots of CNY delicacy on the table. Check out their past years series from my Homesoy corner.
From the pairs we have the beautiful montage edition from Bosch and the joyous family followed by LS Square window view of their family meal while Steam Master gave us the top view of their round table dinner. Noticed the buns? We have bigger and cuter ones from Bao Zhan below.
Chopsticks, Bowls & Tea-cups: Rare but I do like this kind of Chinese tradition motifs. I should gather what I have over the years and give them a their own corner, next year maybe since I only have GSC, GNH Go Noodle House this year so far. Having said that there are quite a few that we can see on the dining tables (above), much smaller in size yes...
We have Ho Yan Hor tiny teapot and tea cup below while above it's Purple Cane's family reunion with their signature tea served in a Chinese tea cup of course. Watch out for more "cups" coming soon ♬♪♫ ヾ(*・。・)ノ ♬♪♫
Chiwawa used the same village celebration design as another Mall, can you recall? Hop over to my mall section (click here) to find out.

Besides Ho Yan Hor little people, mini trucks and tiny food, we have Minelog with their food deliveries as well. Next is Bao Zhan little buns, they are adorable and I really like this year's sixsome, softer shades hence the sweeter tone. Their 2020 to me is a little old school especially the colors but 2019 family and 2017 kids themed both were quite delightful as well. I didn't manage to collect their 2018 sets, yes plural, there were two.
Come back soon for more family treasures...
