It's not as white as it appears in that image but it's softer than it looked, will be good once I get a cushion to go inside it!

Todays "It's cheaper than amazon!" item is a nose washer thing, £15 on Amazon, under £3 on here.

All this cute rubbish from the fountain pen shop people keep linking. The pens come with refillable cartridges in them already, I'll fill them and see how they work later! The metal pen is really heavy, the plastic one feels pretty solid, lids are nice and tight.


The butterfly bookmark is super nice, it came in a little pouch, and works as a card. I might buy some more of these at some point.

I got them on sale, so they were a little cheaper, but I have an absolute ton left over. Giving the pokemon and the ones that don't have naughty words or lady parts on them to my kid nephew for his birthday, along with a load of other stuff. :3:

If you're looking for pokemon stuff, try more generic searches, "pikachu" brings up a ton of stuff "pokemon" doesn't.

Something like "ball bullets" or "shooting balls" or "plastic balls 30mm" might work. You gotta just be super generic. "beer pong balls" seems to be a surprisingly good search too if you just want regular ping-pong balls.

95% of the time the origami paper is just generic, cut down paper. It'll be fine. Just don't go for the shiny expensive looking stuff.

If that's what you're used to, honestly, just go for birkenstocks. I've never had cheap sandals that didn't rub my feet to poo poo or fall apart within a couple of months. You end up spending more replacing them over the same period of time, than you would of by just buying the decent ones in the first place.
