Russian crap store!

Okay, so my Russian prof directed me towards this website called RusKniga, and it... is fantastic. You can get Russian stuff without having to actually go there, provided you understand enough of the language to navigate the website or have the patience to aimlessly click around until you find what you're looking for!
So, anyway, even though I'd have a hard time getting any of this (unless I put it on my Christmas list or something), I can't resist putting up things I find that I would really like as I use my very limited grasp of the Russian language and poor intuition to find them.
RUSSIAN EMBLEM T-SHIRT. It's just awesome. Screw the Communist emblem.
Soviet Union T-Shirt! Um... previous statement retracted; this is awesome too.
100% Russian Tank. YES.
...Jeez, all the shirts on this site are pretty awesome. Moving on. XD
Matreshka! Those capsule doll things. I don't want any myself, but I just had to point them out becase they will always be adorable. :C
Platok! HERE IT IS. The awesome shawl! I immediately wanted one of these after Tatiana (aforementioned teacher) came into class with one of hers. But... holy crap these can get expensive. And I feel terrible for wanting an article of clothing that I'm pretty sure is made from fur.
Everyone wants one of these hats. There IS a black one on there, but they're out of stock, and I think the white one looks pretty nice too.
That was all under the Souvenirs section, there's also stuff that's less "Get this for your American friends!" Like edible treats. Russian chocolate is absolutely delicious, but literally all of it that's listed on there is out of stock.
Think that's all I can find that interests me, but I'm definitely taking another peek at that site when I know more words.
