Politically Correct Past times

When you want to keep your card games rated PG

Blatant Plagarism

If you look closely at the signature, it looks like they painted over the original signature and put their own.

Awesome glasses!

No, my mother didn't donate me. Someone donated these rocking, high prescription, glasses though!

Great friends are we to the extremity

Tapeworm pencil bag with bad translation

Disturbing plush

Cat stuffed animal that can give birth. The baby in the middle looks like it has birth defects. Seriously, it looks nothing like it's supposed siblings. They actually have necks.

Rockstar

Awesome wig modeled by myself. It makes me look like a rebel.

Is anyone missing anything?

It would be tragic to wake up and not be able to figure out where you put these. Unfortunately they were probably put in the wrong box. So sorry. Eww.

Food fight weaponry

I'm sure the inventor's mother is SO proud.

Work shoes?

If you need to supplement your street corner work wardrobe, come on in!

Best customer conversation about these shoes. Customer 1 "Those look really hard to walk in." Customer 2 "I don't think they were made for that." Haha

Dating advertisement

Hahaha bitter is the word that seems to cover it best. Faces scratched out to protect the innocent.

*Sidebar - The book underneath, the Hardy boys, that was a pretty cool donation too. I enjoyed reading them when I was younger even though I stuck with Nancy Drew more often.

Latex Free!

There is a funny story to go with this donation. My boss is a great guy and he has a really strong work ethic. He has only gone home sick one time in the 3 or so years I've worked with him. Today just happened to be that day. So I put this on his desk with a get well soon note.

*Disclaimer: He only had a cold, I was just trying to be funny.

For a good time call ...

Pick up line business cards. There is a spot on the back to write your phone number. Hahaha. There is even a pirate one that says You... Shiver me Timbers

Mug with jugs.

The designer of this gem probably made millions. Or not.

Ugly sweater contest winner

At least I'm sure this sweater could win many contests.

There are a few things that disturbed me about this sweater even if the lederhosen almost made it whimsically funny. The fact that he doesn't have a shirt on but he has buttons, that is odd. Unless his shirt is bear pelt color and then he just doesn't have much fashion sense. The other disturbing thing was something a friend pinpointed for me. Either the bear ate the human or it's a human wearing a bear pelt the way Kenny from Southpark wears his hoodie. Where the heck did the nose go? Maybe the mommy bear stole it when he was a baby?

Accidental donation?

I sure hope this donation was an accident. The scenario that comes to mind is the following:

Parents get SO sick of their child/children's horridly messy room that they go in with black garbage bags and start shoveling in the mounds of items. They were lucky enough to miss this little gem with this method of donation. This was donated in mid-December. I'm thinking they were going through their old stuff and donating it to make room for new stuff they would get for Christmas. This rotted, dessicated mini Halloween pumpkin was stuck to some pajama bottoms. Rotten ALL the way through! I only found it because I happened to step on it and hear it crunch. NOT squish but crunch. It was that old. I kept thinking to myself, as I quickly threw it away, that I had spores on my shoe. That color of pink is not a natural pumpkin color either! This donation may have scarred me a little bit.

Unicorn awesomeness

The last couple of years we've been doing ugly sweater contests for our Thrift Store Christmas parties. We are lucky because we can find AMAZING sweaters/sweatshirts. This is one example.

Re-purposing idea

This would make a lovely lollipop holder. That's what I would use this cool tray for.

Tricky purse

Cute boombox purse

Potty watch

You would be the height of potty training fashion with this sleekly designed time piece.

Vintage inspired Purse

This was brand new and I'm proud of myself for resisting the allure of buying it. I buy way too many things that come through the store. They usually end up back at the store later.

The Holy Land

It looks like the death star. Really.

Wooden signage

This is cute and SO true

E.T. phone home

Do it yourself Alien craft project

Flair

Loser store is my favorite

Yikes!

This cradle keeps scaring me when I walk by.  At the risk of sounding like a pervert, that carrot looks lascivious. Also, the last time I checked, that is NOT where the tail is located.

German flair

I really did laugh out loud.

Put a bird on it

Can't figure out how to market your item? I know, put a bird on it!

(This necklace is cute but the bird craze is out of control)

Prada

Actually a cheap knock-off but I thought it was cool

Hillary

Cheesy but still funny.

Classy

We were donated some fine decor'.

For some reason it brings to mind the word Fragile (emphasis on the e). It's Italian.
