Five Below

Been back to Five Below several times since my last posting. My family makes it a «must visit» every time. Seems they see something here we can’t get at home.

They have some interesting stuff for phones for 5 bucks a pop. From what I saw though, nothing for an iPhone5 yet. oh well.

Uncomfirmed rumor (god forbid i take the 2 minutes necessary to google it) has it that this is the latest venture of the mastermind behind Zany Brainy. It would not surprise me at all if this were true, because about the only thing I don’t like about 5 Below is that they had the nerve to not exist until after I grew up :(
5 Below is the perfect dream store for almost any kid under the age of 13 (or any adult who stopped maturing around then). As the name might suggest, everything in the store is $ 5 or less. But don’t let that stop you from checking them out as a quality source of cheap gifts! They have everything from transformable Transformers to hair products to candy to magic tricks to whoopie cushions to mlb/​nfl fan products to t-​shirts and hats and pajamas and winter accessories to great school bags to purses to you name it, i’d bet they got it… they even sell room accessories like beaded doorways and fanciful light strings, lava lamps and disco balls. Recently, they even started carrying dvds and tons of real games (board and card). Also, and this might not affect many of you, when you spend $ 100, they give you $ 5 free (which can go a surprisingly loooong way there).
So be you 12 or simply 12 at heart, 5 Below is a store that must be on your go-​to list. If you care about someone who fits either description, but the above sounds simply godawful to you, have no fear– they also offer gift cards!
p. s. they also have wilson regulation basketballs, footballs, volleyballs and soccer balls… balls galore, i tell you!
