I have been fascinated by cryptids since a young age. They often represent a cultural or social aspect of society, such as coping with a socio-cultural change or a story that has been transformed over time. Mothman is my favorite of the bunch, and its become a bit of a cultural favorite in the last few years. This has resulted in a bit of merchandise over the years including books, plush, stickers and much more. Merchandise which I have willingly indulged in myself, and this list showcases many of my favorites.

These are my favorite storm chasers that I follow both out on the road and behind the radar that have helped to educate me and excite my passion over the years. Stay Weather Aware!

Some classics and some underrated movies that you should watch. We all watch Harry Potter, and believe me I do too. But these are some more haunting and gothic or horror like films.

I use these products to send all of my PSA submissions after watching their official shipping guide video at youtube.com/watch?v=WlnN7kmxJtk and by carefully following the post-submission instruction page on their official website. A lot of factors are going to impact your submission wait time, and making sure that you package your submission exactly as they suggest can prevent unnecessary additional processing time. They have been backed up lately in 2025 with long wait times so anything you can do to get your submission moving along is going to help.

The ultimate ARMY wishlist : ) I've pulled together some of my favourite merch and collectables that I think would make excellent gifts or a treat for yourself. Borahae!
Handmade watercolor usually comes with mix hue rather than one solid hue, so it's understandable if lots of them are less pigmented and have more fillers. It's made from sometimes different kind of pigment with different watercolor benders, so the quality could be hit or miss since it's a home-based production. Also, the prize could range from affordable to high end if the maker use high quality pigment. But I can assure you, they had great color scheme/theme, that you don't have to mix any primer color to make it. P.S: Some of these collections probably not handmade, but didn't have a brand name, so I keep them included.
Whether I’m selling jewellery, crafts, or cosmic kits, these are the stall essentials I never leave home without. They help me stay organised, look professional, and keep the vibe joyful.

Nothing wrong with cornhole or tossing a ball around, but Skeeball is fun and a little less common or popular! They created it into portable game, just doesn't give out tickets like the best ones at Chucky Cheese. This was my favorite go to game growing up. I'll show you indoor and outdoor options, along with different types. Good for backyard, tailgates, parties and more!
I listed some tools that I think are useful and open a lot of options for custom bag charms and gift ideas, and listed the most helpful online tutorials I've used to learn what to make. This was after I learned how to crochet, and personally I find crocheting a 3D object is more challenging than making something that is flat. I wish I had this list before I started!
