This place is fantastic. I am in love with all its different bits and bobs, it keeps me entertained for hours if I go in. I find all these amazing things that I really don’t need but are all so special. I know a few people have mentioned it but the Jesus stuff is just brilliant. I think it is the perfect gift for someone that isn’t religious or if they are hopefully they can take a joke. I look at it as making him look like a fictional character, rather than holy, like Micky mouse on a pen. I think it is brilliant. I couldn’t say no. This shops holds some amazing stock, you really need to go down and spend some time looking at all the different quirky items.

I am an absolute sucker for kitsch religious iconography. Throw in a bit of humour — Elvis’ head juxtaposed onto Jesus’ body, for example — and I’m smiling. It might be because of all that Catholic preaching forced onto me in primary school that I like to see the otherwise holy ones deconstructed to the nth degree. And there’s no place that stocks more of the deco-religious stuff than Black Plastic. There’s also plenty of cool kitchenware, stationery, greeting cards, paperweights and toys that won’t offend the conservatives. I particularly love the Ramones bobble-heads and Rubik’s Cube-shaped speakers. You could spend hours in this place with its shelves packed with ironic bits and bobs. Great for gift-shopping, for that someone who supposedly has everything.

Black Plastic is sheer entertainment. I get such joy from looking through each and every wonderful little thing on the shelves, and when I’m writing my wish list for Christmas and my birthday I just come in here and take a picture of pretty much everything and send it to my family and my boyfriend. Currently on my Christmas list(if anyone who knows me is reading) are: — A wooden spool for keeping my headphones wrapped up like thread — A pen shaped like Jesus — Edward Monkton designed teapot and cups.(Edward Monkton writes fantastic little poems and illustrates them himself. Black Plastic sell these printed on my two favourite things). That’s just a small flavour of the tremendous things on sale in Black Plastic!

Guys! Jesus paraphernalia, as far as the eye can see. Jesus band aids, Jesus pens, cheeky Jesus mugs. HOLYCRAP– literally! Now, excuse me as I go say 10 hail Marys because of the sacrilege I just committed. But if you are someone who can have a bit of a joke like me, this place is the best. It’s the perfect place to buy a present for that one friend you’ve got whose a little bit left of centre. Being the irreverent, jokester that I am, when I first discovered this store, I spent AGES searching for the perfect present for myself. And alas, cheeky Jesus mug it was. When you fill it with hot liquid his beard comes off and he’s ready to PARTAY!
