here's what makes me wanna go pic them
some days ago while i was going to work

unluckily
i couldn't find a Quatchi that's as squished as the one i saw
:(
but... this is still fairly funny  :D

these r the very popular gloves there r only $10 a pair
they seem to be pretty warm too

bought them all home! :D
these r keychain dolls... each of them ~2-3 inches tall
and only $10 each
still remember the names?
black and white girl (guy?): Miga
guy with green hat: Sumi
big tummy: Mukmuk
hairy dude: Quatchi

itz rather expensive at $25...
