Dollar Store Stuff

I love shopping at dollar stores for various odds and ends and my husband will attest to that. I think it has a lot to do with my Filipina side that still mentally converts everything into pesos.

I'd recently put up a cork board at my desk so I needed some cute magnets to go with it so we made a quick stop at the dollar store and came out with a few odds and ends:

1. Cute Magnets



2. 8 Pack Disposable Shower Caps (which can double as shoe bags a la Real Simple)

3. Scotch Brown Postal Wrapping Paper (which I'm going to use a gift wrap. Will just jazz it up a bit like in the photo below. I love plain brown paper. There's so much you can do with it!)

  All for the grand total of... ta da! Three dollars plus tax! Told you I loved the dollar store.




Doesn't my cork board look great? I love how it brightens up and adders personality to my workspace. Now to find more photos for those magnets...

  3. Manang Joy and Mimmy, I know right? Always preferred it over shiny, foil-like wrapping paper :D
