Another use for novelty hats!

Available at The Pointy Pencil... novelty hats!

Look what help they were for Halloween costumes!

*We saw a teacher who fell in love with the birthday hat and is going to rush to our store to get one for herself!

*Note Rudolph's nose... it blinks!
Quite a sight when it starts to get dark.

*Amaze your friend with an old-fashioned football helmet... you might get called a "leather-head".

We had a lot of fun with these hats tonight! Come in and try on one today!
