Via Shiny Shiny, Fredflare offers up this Hello Kitty Desk Set. Gosh. Do I want or what.
Also, the dreadful, awful, fabulous pink toolkit.
Perfect for hacking into and modding your Hello Kitty XBox . Pink hammer! Come ON. Who couldn't use a pink hammer? This is so a birthday present for my small friend Amanda, who could also do with the Diva Drill.
Actually, Craftsman* has been making pink tool kits like that for decades. We've got one hanging around our office someplace -- a charming little relic that's older than I am, or so I've been told.

This would be an interesting idea...if only the tools were tough enough to be real tools. Unfortunately, these tools look more like toys that would break after their first or second use.

I actually went off to college (some 8 years ago) with this pink tool set, the idea being not that I needed pink tools, but that pink tools would be the ones least likely pilfered by my engineering friends in the nerd dorm. Interestingly, I think the only thing I have left of the set is the tiny pink exacto knife. So, yeah... the repellent power of pink failed me.
As to the toughness of said tools... Like I said, pilfered by big, manly engineers, so they were at the very least passable.
