Combines avant gerde styling with conceptual design. It also creates a "hypnotic ambience through a combination of semi-translucent colours and complimenting chrome stand. Because you want a multi-function, avant gerde teapot that flatters you every morning.

A "poppy opener". Not sure if this is for opening beer and soda bottles, or a tool used in the manufacturing of heroin. But, if you've got a poppy to open, this is the tool for you. At only $1.29, it's a bargain!

The dollar store has something for everyone. Always popular with the S&M crowd is the Joy Free Hook.


Posted by Picasa Even with instructions as clear as these, I still can't figure out the reason for this thing!

Last, but by no means least, is the Benign Girl Super Telephone. Bizarre Girl is more like it. While the package entices the buyer to "Try Me! Press Button", they neglect to mention two things: a) there are no batteries in the phone, and b) there is no button.

OMG! I LOVE THE DOLLAR STORE!! BTW: I own that teapot, not from the dollar store, but ordered instead from QVC. It was very pricey on QVC and I am scared that the mesh thingy is going to break. Now I will keep my eyes peeled for the dollar store version. BTW: the tea pot has never made me feel avante gerde.
Ever wonder if stuff ends up at the dollar store because people can't spell and editors are expensive??
