The Giant


This is one of our favourite shops in town. It's like a larger version of a $2 or gold coin shop where you can find items a lot cheaper than most places sell them for. A favourite thing for me to buy in here is usually incense - I like to try new kinds once in a while.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

Love stores like this. What scents do you enjoy? Today, I got a wax melt from Aldi. Almond. Will try it tomorrow.

Great shot. So typical of an every day sight in a NZ rural town.

I'm not familiar with a gold coin shop. We have dollar stores, which sell all sorts of things, so it may be like that. I hope The Giant lives up to its name with giant selections or giant savings!

A gold coin shop is new to my ears.
