#10. Bag of Rice












#9. Belts
















#8. Broom and Dustpan



















#7. Pineapples














#6. Boombox
















#5. Barrel


















#4. Pocketbooks

















#3. Clothing Rack




















#2. Smoked Fish













and the #1 most amazing thing to carry on your head?
