Hello Kitty magnetic drawing kit:  $3 (RSP:  $10+)
Wire dish rack:  $3

Both @ Dollarama

I saw a TMNT version of the drawing kit, but I passed because it looked kind of cheap.  The paint job was horrible!  It was seriously bootleg quality,



This one looked great though, so I had to get it.  I just thought it was so cute, and it also had a function, which was a plus.



Well, turns out it's stuck to that book!  I thought it was removable, but I ended up doing that myself easily enough.

Pack of 2 microfiber towels:  $2 each
Pack of 2 Minnie Mouse ankle socks:  $1.50

All @ Dollarama

I rarely see that damask pattern towel, so I had to pick up an extra when I saw it today.  The other pattern was cute too, so I thought I'd give it to my  mom.

I've seen those Minnie Mouse socks a bunch of times, but I passed because I didn't think they were interesting.  Today I noticed they have these adorable cut out bows at the back, so that clinched it.

Tiger print skirt:  $6.96 (RSP:  $32)

Finally!  I've been waiting for another percent off/free shipping sale, and that happened on Black Friday.  Thankfully they still had some worthwhile things for sale...the last couple of times they've had free shipping, there was nothing I wanted to buy.

I'm always on the lookout for cheap silk.  I don't like paying over $10, but I really liked the colour, so I was ok paying a bit more.  They had the same design in burgundy and navy, but since I didn't love the colours, they didn't feel worth paying more for.

I was really happy about the tiger skirt!  It's more than I like to pay for a skirt, but I thought the print was so fun.  I'm surprised it originally cost more than the dress.

The sneakers were a happy surprise.  They're real leather, and they only had my size left!  Totally meant to be.

I can't wait until their next sale!  I hope they'll have more cheap silk then.  Their stuff is pretty nice quality in general, so I wouldn't mind adding more to my closet.  The above clothing on models:


The only problem is finding your size!  They don't stretch at all, so it's hard to know what to get.  I could have sized down for the skirt, but the dress was right size for me..and they're two sizes apart!

Beaded top:  $2.50 @ Sirens (RSP:  $39.99)

This was such a steal!  I saw it on sale for $7.50, and the coupon made it that cheap.  Considering the high retail price, I didn't think it would be that low.

This early too!  It's still about a month away from Christmas/New Year's, I didn't expect to see sales on their holiday stuff until next year...not that I'm complaining.

It's probably the best quality garment I've ever seen sold at that store.  Beadwork that intricate takes a long time!



I was thinking about getting this skirt at the same time, but that would have made each item $5. That'd be worth it, but since I'm cheap I decided to try my luck.  Besides, that one was missing a ton of sequins.   Maybe if I find it again..


Christmas tic tac toe game:  $1.25 @ Dollar Tree

I rarely come here.  It's so cramped and the stuff is usually junky.  But since I hadn't visited in a while, I decided to take a look today.

I saw this game and thought it was so cute and random.  For the price, why not?


Fuzzy polar bear ornament:  $1.25
Clear plastic reindeer:  $1.25 each
Rhinestone stickers:  $1.50 each

All @ Dollarama

I've never seen those deer anywhere, and I only saw those two misplaced somewhere.  I wasn't sure if I'd find them again, so I had to pick them up!

They look a lot more expensive than the are...they really look like glass, or at least a nice quality lucite.  A steal for the price!

They actually have a lot of neat holiday stuff right now.  Some of it looks cheap, but the majority of it looks better than most dollar store stuff.  I'm going to have to take a closer look the next time I go!  Today it was a zoo, I couldn't wait to get out of there..
