Every true Hello Kitty fan has at least one type of computer accessory with Kitty on it. But, I'll bet you didn't realize how many different Hello Kitty products you could buy for your computer. You've probably seen the Kitty mouse pads, but that's just scratching the service. Here are a few other accessories that you may not have heard about.

You can buy a Hello Kitty optical mouse that's actually shaped like Kitty's head, complete with the red ribbon on top. In the middle of the ribbon is a scroll wheel for easy access. And if you're going to have a mouse shaped like Kitty's head, you may as well buy the Hello Kitty keyboard, too. It's pink (although the wrist guard is purple) and has all the functionality that most keyboards have (buttons to control multimedia options, etc.).

If you're a Hello Kitty fan and you've never been to Harmonyland, you don't know what you're missing. It's designed to look like Disneyland. The only difference? Everything in the Harmonyland's theme is devoted to Hello Kitty! The rides (including roller coasters, teapots and a huge ferris wheel) are completely immersed in Hello Kitty. Even the meals follow a Hello Kitty theme (you'll see what I mean when you order a hamburger).

The Harmonyland theme park is located in Kyushu, Japan. So, if you're not currently living in Japan, visiting the park may be a little out of reach. However, if you're planning to go to Japan on vacation, take the time during your trip to visit this park. When you arrive, grab a map. Harmonyland is big and there's a lot to see!

In the middle of the park, you'll find a huge castle. There are a lot of rooms that are decorated with Hello Kitty ornaments. For big fans of Kitty, you can even book one of these rooms for your wedding. The theme park is often called the "Land of Smiles" and it's no wonder why! Everywhere you look, there are people dazzled by the pictures and decorations of Hello Kitty. When you visit the theme park, you'll have the chance to meet Kitty and all of her friends. Plus, you'll be able to buy all the merchandise you'd like.

Harmonyland is a place that inspires friendship and generosity, qualities adored by Hello Kitty and her friends.

Hello Kitty lives in a small home with her family in London. She loves the gentle side of life and takes enormous delight in the cute things she sees around her. When she's not inside the house baking treats her mom, or relaxing with dad and twin sister, you can usually find her outside playing with her friends.

Kitty isn't very big at all. She's only 5 apples tall. But, she's nearly always bursting with energy and can't wait to explore and have fun with her best friends. She's very popular in school because she's so cheerful. But, a few things are sad for Kitty.
