Copenhagen-based home décor brand Flying Tiger has been called the "IKEA of junk."

In some ways, it's true: The chain's first US outpost in New York City's Flatiron neighborhood has a modern, white-walled design that reminds us of the world's largest furniture retailer. Customers snake through one continuous aisle that wraps around the store, a layout similar to IKEA's.

Flying Tiger focuses on much smaller and quirkier tchotchkes, rather than ready-to-assemble furniture. And the prices are unbelievably low. Most items cost between $1 and $4.

Here are the 10 coolest (read: weirdest) items you can buy at Flying Tiger.

Your paper clips should be conversation starters. Burger and condiment clips run for just a $1 per pack.
