About Hunt & Hug

Blind boxes to hunt, squishies to hug, gifts they will love.

Our story

We didn't start as a business. We started as collectors who knew the feeling: the shake of a sealed box, the reveal, the hunt for the one secret figure everyone wants. We also knew the other side of it, waiting weeks for overseas shipping and opening a crushed box.

So we built Hunt & Hug, an independent kawaii gift shop for anyone who still likes a small surprise. We pick what we would buy ourselves: Pop Mart blind boxes today, squishies next, and everything packed so it can go straight from our box to a gift bag.

Who we are

Hunt & Hug is a trade name of MIKA INC. The shop is run by a small team of collectors who answer every email within 24 hours on business days. The stock sits with our partner warehouse in Irvine, California, so you buy from a U.S. store, pay in U.S. dollars and get a California tracking number.

How we work

Hunt & Hug is an independent retailer. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Pop Mart or any other brand we carry; their names and product images belong to them and appear here only to tell you what you're buying.

Our stock sits at our partner warehouse in Irvine, California, run by a fellow collector we've worked with since day one. Orders leave within 1 business day, in a rigid box with padding, never a poly mailer. Every Pop Mart box is factory-sealed with its QR code intact, and we show you how to scan it. If a box fails verification within 30 days of delivery, you get a full refund and we pay for the return.

What we promise

• Sealed and verifiable. Every blind box arrives untouched, QR code ready to scan.
• Shipped from California. No overseas wait, no customs surprises.
• Gift-ready. Neat packing in a rigid box, and e-gift cards that never expire.
• Honest reviews. Our reviews were collected on eBay and other marketplaces where we sold before this site launched and were imported with Judge.me; imported reviews are labeled so you can tell.

"It's okay to be a kid again."

In a world that wants us to be grown-ups around the clock, Hunt & Hug is your permission slip to pause, shake the box and grin.

Thank you for trusting us with your collection. Welcome to the hunt.
