OMFG I'm gonna make so much money selling washi tape and stickers at Xmas church craft fairs!!! I take it this is wher Etsy sellrs get thir kawaiiiiii poo poo?

I wish I'd known about this 10 yars ago whn I was making paper stars. I was buying expnsive scrapbook paper packs and cutting my own strips, manwhile precut strips in all kinds of colors are here for dirt cheap. ARGH!

I did find some interesting stuff though. Like this heat laminating bag resealer and these super cool planet sticky notes and holy crap how cute are these little planters?!? Like, th best stocking stuffer site ever. Or office grab bag!

Animal head toothbrush holders!

Iron on rainbow patches!! And cute food patchs!!

Questionable superhero lesbian porn sticker!

Some weird rear end seeds to grow gourds that look like titties?Why not!

:stonk: Exfoliating foot mask, sure, I'll fap to that, said someone.

I am positive if I have a wickr basket of just the Made in America tins at th craft show/flea market, someone will buy the poo poo out of them; made in and shipped from China.

I'm willing to shotgun some money in the seed sction just to see what happens. I mean, babby succulents and awesome looking peppers and cool curly greens. I'm not expecting much of a germination rate but even one plant would be cool. They also hav great rates on fabric pots and hydrogel beeeads.

I'm still going through craft stuff I can resell but check out this GORGEOUS feathr washi tape.

Have you seen any especially good ones on aliexpress? Years back I saw a Chinese site that would reproduce propaganda posters but paint you into the scene. Since then I've been wanting one. I could probably just paint it myself but :effort: and I'd rather have someone trained in China do it.

I got my sister a pretty drat nice degas oil repro (not super on the finer details/brush strokes) for $80. I can look up the store, but I just went with the first and cheapest one with good ratings. Shipping was a little on the long side

Thanks, but don't go through the trouble. I'll probably just put it off until I get drunk enough to order from a propaganda specialist.

Also I'm reminded that there's a documentary about a Chinese city that specializes in oil painting reproductions, the whole area is packed with artists cranking out paintings all year long. Pretty cool if you're interested in that kind of thing.

I use AliExpress for various car/motorcycle bits:

Like these connectors, stuff like that's otherwise difficult to order as a mere mortal, let alone in small quantities.
Or these interior push pins. I own a US car in Europe so that kind of thing is impossible to find here, but even then the the States they're $2.50 a piece + a fortune in shipping.

Whenever I search for very specific fasteners I always end up only finding them on Ali too.

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that those are pictures of handmade synthetic gourds in the shape of titties and real titty gourds don't exist. I want to believe, but I just can't :(

There are definitely fake seeds on AliExpress, like purple kiwi fruit and some other weird stuff that doesn't exist. And some other seeds are totally real! Welcome to AliExpress!

Hey also the t-shirts that are hilarious are 100% polyester, meaning it's like wearing a lightweight rash vest or wetsuit around. They're also asian-sized, so they're probably quite tight on a hearty goon body.

Is it possible to import seeds online legally? If you bring them with you IRL they have to be declared and a customs person has to check them.

It depends on the kind of seed, i accidentally ordered live brussel sprouts from the Philipines (on amazon) once and they got seized.

My understanding is that usually what they are looking for is foreign *soil* though, on the seeds or what not, so ordering seeds (not live plants) is the way to go. I'm okay with some of my stuff getting held up and I'll look for a legal import list.

I'd not be the least bit surprised to find that a lot of these obviously fake plants are just a way to smuggle illegal drug plants into the US. Like a guy hands you a slip of paper on a street corner and it just says "Aliexpress - titty gourds" or "blue strawberries" and you buy a gross of them to start a weed farm or opium business.
