Let us know what the quality is like when they turn up. I've never ordered clothes from Redbubble, but some of the designs I've seen look awesome. I have an extensive collection of extremely cringe and autistic graphic tshirts, but a lot of them are old and getting worn out.

I bought a glass Christmas ornament of a fairy wren. I have a small collection of glass baubles, most new but some vintage. Yes, many of them are rats/mice, but not all. I also have a couple of baubles that are painted internally with fairy wrens in the Chinese method, so I've been eyeing off this blown glass wren for a very long time. There is a second version of this that clips on the base instead of hangs but I'm not all that fussed on it.

Next year I'll see if I can find a dinosaur bauble that is both decently done and affordable. I generally get one or two baubles a year. This shit ain't cheap, especially since my main area of interest, realistic rats and mice, tend to be artisanal rather than mass produced.

Also bought a little cacti and a little succulent for my balcony. It's turning into a nice little area to sit in at the end of the day.

I ordered from them before and they hood up pretty good. I assumed the worst was that the logos would be annihilated after some washing but no they are still there. 20 bucks is a bit much but other than that it’s good stuff. 8/10

They're hit or miss. I've had some that lasted for years, others that wore out after only a few washes.
 
I wasn't impressed by the sparkles from a suncatcher someone gifted me and it kicked off a quest to find the perfect suncatcher. I don't want a couple little modest flashes of light here and there, I want it to look like iridescent angels are having a gay orgy with prism dildos in my living room for an hour each afternoon.

So far Rainbow Symphony is in the lead. The little white dots that have a little color irl but not really in the picture are from a standard old lady faceted crystal suncatcher. The fat rainbows are from a Rainbow Symphony one.

Two mall kiosk watch repairs that have now likely matched over half of the original buying price from all those years ago.

Bought a Hanes manual for my car, because youtube just isn't going to cut it for the repairs I'm doing. It arrives tomorrow which is very cool. Also bought some Manga along with it

My favorite phrase in the Hanes manual is "This isn't covered because you should really take this to a real mechanic" or something similar. I think I was looking up torque specs for a transmission case, lmao.

That Axicon suncatcher they sell is great.

There's such a huge price difference between buying window prisms at the boutique store/craft booth, vs ordering them bulk online. You can easily get a couple dozen of the basic prism balls and hang them in the window at different heights, so they catch the sun throughout its path, not that I know anyone autistic enough to have done that...
 
Anyone got recommendations for a good dream catcher? I don’t have any hippie shops or anything local and I need some good sleep for once. Online is a bad idea but I’m out of ideas since I don’t have an artsy shop near me to make my own.

You can order a kit to make your own from Tandy Leather Company then it can be a piece of art unique to you they are quite easy to make.

My recommendation is don't be a superstitious fucking retard
 
My dude, if you go without quality sleep for long enough, you eventually become desperate enough to suck off a snake oil salesman if he promises you a good night's rest. If good sleep hygiene and drugs aren't doing the job, a little woo and fuzzy thinking can sometimes soothe a stressed brain.

@Shidoen try Etsy, it's where a lot of woo makers hang out.

Just fucking take some melatonin, work out a little before bed, listen to white noise or rain sounds playlists, 5 hours of Warhammer 40K Lore to sleep to, etc.

Scammers

A little arts and crafts project will not bestow good rest upon you

But if you want them for decoration, sure, go nuts
