Weird little things

Yes, yes, yes, Scavengeinc.com is indeed mainly about costumes and lingerie. No doubt about it. But have you ever taken the time to notice all the other fun and weird stuff offered for the betterment of your life and the advancement of mankind in general?? Well, you can consider this your own personal (very short, very FREE) guided tour to some of my favorite weird, little things offered on the website. Okay, you won’t actually find a category called “weird little things.” It has the nice, professional sounding title of “Gifts and Novelties.” You’ll see that there are several categories of merchandise that have items that make great stocking stuffers, gag gifts, or just fun little things to get for yourself – things that bring a smile every time you look at them. What Simpsons fan wouldn’t want a talking pizza cutter? And I guarantee, you aren’t going to find that at Bed Bath and Beyond. How about a whole bendable set of Family Guy characters? They are so perfect for the desk at the office, the mantle over the fireplace or strategically placed on top of your computer monitor or TV.

Now for those of us lucky enough to have lived back in the good old days (the 1970’s) there’s plenty of great gifts to bring back great memories and laughs. There’s Gumby and Pink Panther merchandise, but my personal favorites are found in the “Bendable Toys and Keychains” section – like a bendable Mr. Bill (you know you’ve missed him), or a bendable Speed Racer (gotta love those flare-legged white pants of his), or a bendable Tony the Tiger (it’s grrrrrreat!).

Oh there’s just so much more than I can cover in today’s short tour. But feel free to wander about the site for yourself. You’ll find something to make you laugh or something that would be “just great” for your buddy so & so. And anything that makes us laugh is a very good thing and makes life that much better.
