Oh... Hot Topic. How dear you are to many middle school hearts. I was surprised to see Hot Topic…read morestill hanging on amidst all the stores going out of business. I had expected that people would have gotten over the trend of paying too much for so little. But I forgot that the world has a self-renewing supply of middle schoolers. Hot Topic has always been a cesspool of overpriced, poor quality products for people who think "rawr" means "I love you" in dinosaur. Yet where else could one waste money on novelty toys, Bertie Bott's, Tripp NYC pants, Hello Kitty pendants, and skull-shaped bottles of flaky nail polish all in one place? What's more, where else would one be able to witness a mother imploring her son to reconsider his purchase? Mom: "Honey, I don't know if you should wear this to school." Dark Master of Bleeding Tears: お母さん, it's totally fine. Plx can I get it? I went in here recently, and they've really cleaned their shit up. Even a few months ago, the store was so messy and dusty and disorganized. Looks great. It's kind of comforting-- the sun rises another day, Hot Topic sells pricey, crappy crap.

Then, I went to this section full of kitchen equipment. There is tons of it and I remember a cooking pot that I also bought from here which is still good as new until now. That is why I decided to buy one again. I also went to this section full of Christmas decorations. It is too many with different and unique designs. It was so wonderful and the prices are fair and reasonable. If you love designing your home for Christmas and you wanted to buy decorations then I recommend you this store!
