So apparently they are closing, which is sad... but on the bright side they are having a huge fire sale! For about €0.35 a piece (!), I went a little nuts and looted Daiso guiltlessly! Check it out, I even divided it in categories:
Stationary
- Solid colors wrapping paper (too bad they didn't have more colors)
- Protective case for electronics
- A small triangle ruler set
- Very pretty little notebooks
- Oil Pastel box
- Some pens
- A wooden box I thought was nice because of the nail free joint system - Only when I got home and read the label I discovered this is a traditional measuring unit in Japan, called Masu. It was used to measure rice as a form of currency, and nowadays as a vessel for serving Sake, or dry condiments such as pepper, salt, and sugar at the table. I am not sure what mine is made of, but it smells great so it might well be Japanese Cypress.
Crafts
Needless to say, I was thrilled to see the many crafting items available at the shop.
- EVA foam sheet
- A leather-like perforated sheet
- A piece of fabric with a nice texture
- Polymer clay (Never used this! Seemed like a good opportunity to try)
- Acrylic webbing tape in some colors
- Eye buttons for dolls
- Velcro tape
- Wooden picture frames I intend to make some art for
Other Utilities
- Inflatable pillow (the striped one)
- Instant freeze pack - I thought you could reheat these and use them again, but it turns out it's a one time thing. You punch the bag and it freezes. Well, still gonna be useful I suppose, the one time.
- A mesh bag for travel or laundry (you can wash delicate things in there to protect them, or long things like shoe laces so they don't tangle on everything)
- A long, thin washcloth - you can hold on each end to wash your back, hehe
- Bottle opener
- Silicone sponge for shoes
- A simple brush (it was supposed to adhere to tiles or glass with a suction hook, but that didn't work out. Oh, well.)
- Some cables with hooks
- A silicone grip so you don't hurt your hand with heavy bags
- Hair elastic (you can cut it and tie, but i think I'm going to make a head band with mine)
- A drawstring bag (they had so many nice patterns, it was hard to choose just one)
- Zippered case with big polka dots
So thrilled with these! The whole lot above cost me about €13 (I couldn't resist going back another day and buying more stuff, but i didn't take more pictures) :)
