Daiso Trip & Sticker Haul!

A miracle happened and Daiso finally got stock in!!! I've been visiting the store over the past year and it seems the company got a big shipment of stock in. The store I visited was packed full of stock and I even saw some items I've haven't seen for ages. I could've spent ages just going through everything but I restrained myself and didn't buy too much. The main purpose of the visit was to stock up on stickers and Daiso did not disappoint in the sticker department! There was even some I'd never seen before! I shall share my haul in this post along with all the other stickers I've acquired lately. First let's take a look at what Daiso has on offer! 

Gotta check out the snacks of course! I wish there was a Daiso closed to my workplace so I could eat the cookies & cream and choc banana flavours all the time. Once I tried the hundreds and thousands flavour and it was too die for! Never been able to find it again as I believe it's limited edition. The snack sections at Daiso have shrunk over time and you need to go to the city store to get the better range. I tend to stick to the Pocky or biscuits however Daiso does stock the Poppin' Cookin' sets which are fun. When I made my purchase today, the sales assistance didn't ask if I wanted Koala cookies. They must've run through their supply as they always ask you to buy them.

So many snacks!

Next up was the check out the stationery section for washi tape. I couldn't locate any so maybe they didn't get any in this shipment. I brought a nice set from the store once that had 10 different styles in the pack and I've been searching for it since! No luck so far but hopefully they will get it back one day as there was a green version of the set I want to get. Daiso did have these amusing animal notebooks on display and I've never seen anything like this. It was like a weird squishy cover and everything about them is just so weird. I don't buy any notebooks from Daiso as I'm not a fan of the paper in most of them. I used to buy all my stationery from the Morning Glory stores which stocked Korean brands but they all closed ages ago (still sad about it). Nowadays I get all my notebooks cheap from work as I go through so many and you know, staff discount is a huge selling point haha.

Over in the craft section, there isn't anything too exciting. I usually check out this section to see if Daiso has anything unique or crafty hack things. The pom pom maker looked interesting but I have no use for it. There wasn't any new needle felting stuff either, just the same old stuff I already have. The knitting markers looked cute due to the pastel colour. Mine are fluorescent colours and are super easy to use compared to these. The Disney stamp sets aren't new besides the Zootopia one. I hadn't seen that design yet so it must be a recent release. I have the pink cat one on the right already and a Winnie the Pooh one that is an old style. Stamps are something that are fun to collect, but I find myself not using them too much now. I really should try to incorporate them into my notebooks more.

November Favourites

Can't decided if this month went fast or slow. It seems like ages ago that it was the 1st of November or maybe the last few weeks have really dragged. The busy Christmas season has hit and it's mental with stock and orders everywhere. A lot of people have been saying the postal system has slowed down in Australia and parcels are backed up. But I've been getting my online orders rather quickly and we've only a had few instances at work hearing about parcels getting stuck at borders which are closed for COVID-19. Anyway onto some favourites for November!

Gaming

Mainly just playing New Horizons this month and my island is almost finished! My friends helped me out with getting certain items and I finally have the entire garden gnome set. Haven't even started on my house yet haha. It's always the last thing I do and might spend some time soon thinking about what I want to theme my rooms around. Speaking of Animal Crossing, my friend got me this Animal Crossing puzzle as a birthday gift. How amazing is this? I didn't know they existed until I received this! I cannot wait to do it as I quite enjoy puzzles and it's even better cause it's Animal Crossing!

When I built a new computer recently, it didn't come with a SD Card slot so I haven't been able to get new photos from any of my games. I looked at a few SD card readers but the reviews were awful so I didn't get them. Most readers now are USB-C so I'm going to most likely get one of those and an adapter for USB-A to connect to the PC. Then I finally get all my lovely screenshots from New Horizons and my 3DS again.

Music

Brought a bunch of new CD's on Black Friday as JB HiFi finally had their 20% off music sale. Picked up the standard album version of Blackpink's album but I haven't had a chance to listen to it just yet as I've been busy from Black Friday hilariously enough. Waiting on a bunch of CD's to come from Japan that I'm very excited to receive whenever they arrive. I feel like I've listened to a billion songs this month as November went on forever. I've been listening to a lot of AKB48 lately as well as Apink. The later is a group I never really listened to much and I quite like Apink's style of music. It reminds me of older Korean Pop music and stuff from the 2nd generation. It's been so busy lately I haven't been able to listen to any new songs from girl groups as there has been a fair few recently. One thing I have been doing is cranking Girls Generation's Into The New World loudly at work so hopefully everyone who has no clue about k-pop can appreciate that gem haha.

Stationery

Visited Daiso this month which resulted in a adorable haul of course. I wish they'd build a Daiso closer to my workplace so I can go all the time :( The two closest to me are in shopping places I rarely visited, I used to work in the same centre years ago before it opened. I picked up these cute stickers and some sticky notes as I wanted to get a few for my planner.
