The situation in Sector 17 has been upgraded to, “Thumbtacks.”

Care for a sip?

These pushpins are super cute. Obviously a PPP of 37 is off the charts, but these ones I don't think are so bad. These are genuinely colors you cant get anywhere else, and the rustic wooden pushpin look is very cute. Almost all wooden pushpins come in this shape, a little fatter and more bulbous. Personally I prefer the feel of plastic pushpins, but these are super fun to experiment with. I think these are a must have for anyone having a pastel cowboy party, or something like it. I'm very into pastel cowboy myself, so I definitely understand the appeal. Will be purchasing ASAP.

Hmm. These pushpins are very conflicting to me. Of course i love the starfish on top, that gives it an energetic, fun coastal vibe. The color choices, however, elude me. The cream on clear push pin? Black on clear? Red star on white? It seems like not much attention was put into organizing them. There are some standouts, however, like the light blue starfish on the dark blush pushpin. I quite like the light pink starfish on the deep magenta as well. I believe you can customize which pushpins you receive, so the peculiar colors aren't so bad. The price tag, on the other hand, is absolutely unbelievable. Of course i understand they are custom, so there should be a price increase, but a PPP of 74?! That's insane. Buying ten pushpins costs you 7 and a half dollars. One of my favorite things about the pushpin community is how cost effective it is, its not a hobby you need to spend a ton of money on. This is just too much, maybe if you fall in love with these then go for it, but to me I won't buy.

These pushpins are trying to go for a silly and spunky take on the classic pin formula, but it's not happening. The shape distracting and slightly uncomfortable, and the colors are tacky. These pushpins really stand out in a collection, but not necessarily in a good way. Again, I think you could make these work if you really had a strong vision, but there are better, more affordable options, and the shape is nasty.
