I Want This Now: Mister Donut's Cute Cellphone Charms
Photograph from yusheng on Flickr
If you live in Taiwan, go to Japanese doughnut chain Mister Donut for some ridiculously cute cellphone charms, including the elephant charm above. (Look at those ears! There's cream coming out of them! Cream!) Yusheng explains that the chain is having a promotion where for every NT$70 (about $2 USD) you spend, you get a scratch-off card with 1 to 5 points. When you collect 10 points, you can exchange them for a cellphone charm. If I lived in Taiwan, I'd be at Mister Donuts every day to collect all four.

Isn't Mister Donut an American chain?

@Young: I see it more as a Japanese chain, but it did start in the US and the Wikipedia entry lists the eight stores that still carry the Mister Donut name. I gather that the American franchise of Mister Donut no longer exists because most were converted to Dunkin Donuts. A Japanese company bought the rights to franchise Mister Donut in Asia. Born in the US, reincarnated as Japanese?

Mister Donut has the best tchochkes! I have a set of juice glasses with cartoon lions from one of their giveaways in Japan. And their donuts aren't bad, either. I recommend the ones with green tea filling.

mister donut is awesome! i was just in taipei for two weeks and we finally caved and bought enough donuts to get enough points for three keychains - one for each of us. they are just as adorable in real life as they look. i was looking around google the other day, and a previous promotion was a pon de lion bento box and bag, which is pretty much amazing.

We had Mister Donut in Thailand, and that elephant is too cute! I was a fan of the coconut doughnuts.
Oh, another "Born in the US, reincarnated as Japanese" company is none other than 7-Eleven.
