I bought this bottle holder that you can clip to your belt loop. Pretty sanzzy. Also, the airplane cushions that you wrap around your neck. Very nice! Fill them with air or water.
Anyone else? |

| Eggs and tomatoes you can throw and watch slide down the walls. Two for a buck - fun for hours. |

| A top that lights up when spinning. Made the trip a blast for my son and it had lasted for a surprisingly long time. |

The squishy Golden Pig that you can throw at things. It gets dirty and quits sticking quickly, but it's fun.
An umbrella for 1,000 won that's still going strong more than a year later. It's a suprisingly nice umbrella. |

I bought something you can sit on when you're on a picnic. I also bought this pen that has this red lazer and stretches out. I bought a couple of other things, but not worth mentioning. Oh yeah, I did buy some Korean music... |

The 100% cotton subway map bandanna. It's one of the few
things you can buy in Korea that has hangul instead of English.
They won't weigh much on my trip back home and everyone
will love them because they are Korean. |

I too bought the golden pigs and tops that light up. Took them back to the states and gave them as gifts to nieces and nephews, along with other presents. The tops and pigs were a hit! I was told that I should have brought more. Who knew? They are fun though.
I saw the egg and tomato things, and passed on them. I have kicked myself ever since. They were hilarious! I know that they definitely would have been a smashing success. |

| Indeed, I was the bestest moster favouritest auntie around; happy I kept a couple for myself though. Smashing them at the wall is excellent therapy. |

I have that thing. I like how it stretches very long, and I kid with my students when they don't do their homework that I am going to hit them on their hand, and they laugh. I also bought a picnic mat. I haven't used it yet. Any good places to picnic? I also bought a Korean music CD set... |

Same here. Good way to keep my dog entertained too. Also picked up a couple of those small shoe polish / brush combos. Great and practical. |

| The ear cleaner with an internal light was a good purchase. I got the pen that lit up in various colours as well. Basically anything with a light. |
