Graphic and brilliant, humble and cute, our new Hello Kitty Store set of two is inspired by the bright and kind-hearted Hello Kitty and her wonderful eatery that serves up an endless array of fresh-baked cookies and piping hot teas! About Department 56: For 40 years, Department 56 has been creating holiday traditions passed down from generation to generation. The excitement of the holiday season comes home with intricately detailed villages from settings that inspire the imagination. Stroll through a small American town, enjoy a walk with Charles Dickens, or visit Santa in the North Pole. Our ornaments and figurines create even more opportunities to spread good wishes during the happiest time of the year.
