Any leads on some cool-looking ear picks and ear cleaners?
In the past, I’ve seen the kind that are Q-tips on one end, and scoopers on the other. Do you know where I can find those?
I know there are simple metal ear cleaners in the Night Markets, but I’m hoping for something a little special – like in a carved container (like the sheath of a sword) or an interesting design.
Oh, I should explain: these for for gifts for my brother 
No idea whether you’re still looking, but I just saw some at Watson’s that I thought were quite ingenious. They have a built-in “flash light” that brings the light into the ear via the scoop itself which is see-through plastic, a little like to old 70’s fiber-glass lamps. Not cool-looking or anything, but quite handy if your brother has somebody who scoops 'em out for him … 
these sound great! which branch of watson’s did you see them at? I’m going to check the ones I know today
Saw them in one of the Tianmu branches (Tianmu West Rd.?), but so far every Watson I’ve been to had the same product-range, so you should be able tofind them, gook luck!

Gus, you romantic fool, you. I sure wish I were your brother…

Oops, I meant that they are going to be gifts from my brother to others. I’m just helping him source’em. He’s the romantic. I can’t take credit
Btw, I went to the Watson’s on Shita Road last night, and I found ear cleaners with little brown plastic handls, but none with the built-in flashlight.
I’m still holding out for those mini-mag ear-scoops – any leads? please post here
O.k., here goes: I saw them again at Watson’s in Tianmu, on Tianmu West Road, coming up Zhongshan North Rd. Sec. 6 & turing right into Tianmu West Rd. at the intersection at the big round-about in central Tianmu. It’s on the righthand side. They’re on the second floor, in the back (actually the front of the building 
) where the pharmacy is, with a lot of other ear-related stuff such as ear-plugs etc… They’re called “L.E.D. Luminous Ear Picks”, made by a company called “H&S” which apparently stands for Health and Security … it says http://www.allgoods.com.tw on the package, might be worth checking out. They’re NT$ 165,- for two in a pack and they’re quite ugly-plasticky if you know what I mean … am I good to you or what? Xpet.
