thrift stores. where they primarily sell second hand goods. yeah I can see that not going down too well. particularly the second hand part.

But yeah they're bought. Always have been. it just caught on as a ritual to do at 16th birthdays. The exact method of HOW they're bought won't be explained until later in the series though. But yeah, sold in shops. Kinda like blind bags. but bigger. and more expensive.
