Balls for table football, not sure if they're hollow or not, I haven't played it since I was about 10. Diameter is right though.

Has anyone found just some basic p38 can openers? Found them on another site but you had to buy like 1000.

Should I go ahead and open a dispute now, or what? I already sent payment but there is no tracking info at all.

Don't worry, if fidget spinners are anything to go by in a few weeks the market will be flooded and the moral panic will have moved on to something new and then it'll be easy to acquire your tiny armament in peace.

Maybe they'll even have moved past the iron age and be selling tiny flintlocks and cannons that fire bbs :getin:

Aliexpress is a wonderful place to get organization items, so bins and etc. for your woodworking and brewing poo poo so it's not all over the place, paving the way to More Happy Girlfriend because Your poo poo Isn't All Over The Place. Additionally, check out the cleaning devices in the OP in particular. Melamine sponges, drain cleaning hook things, hooks--that stuff just ends up being really useful and costs dramatically less than getting it in the store. In my experience they're usually the best returns, actually--the item I've re-ordered most often was hooks, followed by hanging garment bags.

Also, you could probably get her every piece of jewelry in the OP and all the kitchen doodles for under $100 monies.
