are those santa hat good

or at least not completely paper

A flashlight that also has a laser pointer and an UV light (i can confirm the led it has emits UV rays, via the interaction with glow in the dark stuff and a novelty keychain i have that changes its color with the UV rays). It uses a single AA battery, which is "rare" with laser pointers.

You can play with your cat with the laser, buy two and have secret messages with someone, or just have it as a fun back-up light

Ali sure has some weird shenanigans with affiliate links

A simple and cheap USB tester/multimeter. Pretty functional for the price. If you care for your electronics, you might want one: check charging times to disconnect your devices, check the current battery capacity, check how much juice a cable or a device is using.... Stuff like that.

question: what's the csg obsession with flashlights and EEshit among all the small items chinks do best
as an autist with an engineering degree who collected this stuff obsessively as a kid, I barely ever use stuff like this now

its just target audience, some do keep up the hobby when they grow

you are in /g/ thread anyway if you think about it so~~
and as you know age on /g/ varies quite wildly so maybe some people are just in that age when they start collecting stuff too for later use and such

ah i see, i got my first job pretty late so i'm just sitting here buying nail clippers and shit

@miker Buy a Khlip instead. Worth.

jesus christ i saw that in lifehacker almost a decadea go

I bought one and love it.

thanks for the rec tho, yeah i probably will

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Christmas-Hat-Santa-Claus-Hats-Children-Soft-Woolen-Knitting-With-Ball-for-Kids-Adult-Gifts/32832145493.html 4th picture is most accurate. Cute hat, very comfy, ordered more.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Christmas-Santa-Claus-Hats-With-Snow-Green-Caps-For-Adult-And-Kids-XMAS-Decor-Wholesale-New/32753468336.html Cheap feeling, but not so much that it falls apart at the seams, just not very fancy. I ordered more.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PC-Christmas-Striped-Clown-Hat-Party-Caps-For-Adult-Children-Christmas-Hat-New-Year-Gift-Christmas/32839253352.html Well made, takes a bit to un-crush it from shipping, but stands up well on its own. On the smaller side, but super neat. Bought more.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Christmas-Party-Santa-Hat-Red-And-White-Cap-for-Santa-Claus-Costume-New-natal-navidad-christmas/32821136896.html Suuuper cheap, and looks it, but quality isn't bad. You'll look kinda like Mickey Mouse as a wizard.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Christmas-Hats-Red-Silver-Green-Tree-With-Star-Christmas-Caps-For-Adult-And-Kids-XMAS-Decor/32827588084.html Quality is good, fits my big-ass head. I bought more. Little star up top is pretty much just flat though, so might flop over.

@timsandtoms why did you buy so many

Work at a retail store. Got one for all the employees at the customer service desk two years back, the whole front-end last year, going for the whole store this year.

cute

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/75cm-Black-plush-hat-White-fur-Adult-Christmas-hat-party-High-Quality-Fur-Xmas-Cap/32858540346.html Pretty good quality. Pretty long. Less of a disappointingly tiny pompom at the end.

Worth noting is that MOST of these aren't going to be super fluffy inside, they're more on the scratchy side and have disappointing pompoms. Usually. I can check specific ones for whatever if anyone actually wants info on one, but that seems like a lot of effort unless someone actually wanted to know. Usually these are more of a wear it for a couple of evenings type things.
