Steel case for G-Shock wristwatch. Useful because the old resin case was falling apart despite the watch module itself being practically bomb-proof. Will extend the life of the watch considerably.

most ridiculous is probably the zombie ice lolly moulds

I got a $2 milk frother that I used maybe twice before remembering I’m more or less lactose intolerant.

This pin cost like $2. It was a kusoge prize in SLC and I think miffy won it but somehow got lost during the toilet and she never got her pin. The shipping was surprisingly fast. I haven’t bought anything else off that website.

i spent xmas eve/day with friends, and as well as actual presents, i bought one of these for everyone to receive a toy capsule from. until we opened it up and got our eggs on xmas eve night, i had no idea if this was going to suck or not. luckily, the toys were all really cute and everyone loved them. will definitely do this for future gatherings

Oh hey I got one of these from a magazine for my kid, or rather it was all paper craft and has lasted a surprisingly long time considering a 3 year old is playing with it.
