Daiso

Over the holiday weekend, on the recommendation of a friend, I trekked over to Daiso, a Japanese dollar store {okay, $1.50 store}, that sells everything from kitchenware, to hair accessories, to candy.  I kind of lost track of time while I was in the store- there were so many cute- and often hilarious- finds.  Perfect Christmas stocking stuffers, for sure.  And almost everything is $1.50 so you can load up your cart without any guilt!

    Ah ha, that’s how I heard about it from Chris! All of these years and I just started going last year. Love the little notebooks and things. And funny how there is so much French themed things…
