Christopher Vine’s Santa Barbara Design Studio has had several products featuring this Vespa bearing a strangely square leg shield. That map behind the scooter looks to be Rome. Since I haven’t seen very many scooter water bottles, I had to post it. It’s $19.99. And since it’s red, it might make a great Valentine’s Day present. Here’s a greeting card of this design we posted in the past.
Thanks to Julie G. for this find.

I don’t like riding b*tch. Makes me too nervous. But these silhouettes make riding cupcake seem so romantic. The 10″ melamine plate is $24. Visit the site to see the whole selection featuring these scooter silhouettes, including prints, cards, etc.
Thanks to Julie G. for this find!

Last year I got all excited when I found a Triumph Tigress-esque valentine. Well it turns out I am a very lucky girl. Because a designer at Pottery Barn was probably one of the people I was bidding against on eBay. They feature the same valentine on a $12 card set, in a $20 plastic tumbler set, a $26 melanine plate set, in a paper heart garland and in a floor puzzle (available only in the stores.) Here’s a buying tip – if you just want the scooter plate, go to the stores and grab one. They’re just $6.50 and display wonderfully. The folks at my local store said everything would go on sale the week before Valentine’s Day.
Many thanks to Cara!

Cost Plus World Market came out with the wallet-friendly fenderlight Christmas ornaments but they also carry a lot of other scooter merchandise like these glasses. You can buy a set online or visit their stores to buy just one to hold your toothbrushes. The set of four is $15.96. Other designs feature the London skyline and a red telephone box as well as Paris and a little Fiat. Made in Italy.
Thanks to Michelle and Julie G. for this find!

Yay! More scooter swag from Starbucks. This very attractive mug is now available in some stores and online for $8.95. By the way, the photo pictures above is much truer to the actual colors of the mug than the photo online. I know because I bought a mug the same day Julie sent me this photo. ; )
Thanks to Julie G. for the photo and this find!

This cute little figurine measures 4″L x 3-1/4″W x 3-1/2″H and is called “Scooter Pie.” It’s a hand numbered Marie Osmond limited edition resin doll from her 2002 collection. Who knew Marie liked Vinos? Oh, and this is one rare bit o’swag you can get your hands on. It’s listed for $29 at this site:

Sorry for the bad pun but it couldn’t be contained. We featured Gnome Masters work here this past summer and now he has released a Santa gnome for the holiday season. The price is $40 for an outdoors painted gnome and $45 for an indoors version. He measures 11″ tall and weighs in at 13 lbs and his scooter is painted a metallic glitter red with gold trim.

Denver, Colorado artist Mike Higgs was inspired by his daughter’s 1978 Vespa Primavera to sculpt this handsome fellow. He even matched the scooter’s tire tread! “Georgio” the gnome is available riding a red, black, blue, green, turquoise, yellow, or orange scooter. Made out of Portland cement, he’s sure to bring years of smiles and you have options on paint type too. For an outdoors gnome it’s $30. For an indoor paint job, it’s $35 or you can get Georgio in bisque, unpainted ready for your own paint job or maybe to look like a classic museum statue? Georgio measures 11.5″ tall and weighs 14 lbs so it costs just $15 to ship in the States and an estimated $60 USD to ship to the UK in 6-10 days. (Please contact Mike via his website for more specific information on overseas shipping.)
Are you disappointed Georgio isn’t on a Lambretta or Rukus? Well Mike is working on other gnome scooterists so sign up for his newsletter on his site and you’ll be the first to know when he’s created a new model. And check out Georgio’s girlfriend Georgette! I had no idea there was such a thing as female gnomes (or for that matter, roller derby gnomes) until this site!
First Tiki Scooter Mugs and now scooterist gnomes . . . It’s been a good summer here at ScooterSwag!

All sweetness and light, this pair are sitting pretty atop their wedding scooter. They measure 5″ tall, 4.5″ wide, and 2″ deep and are made out of paintable resin if you want to customize hair color, scooter color, etc. They’re £21 and available from a regular eBay seller.
Thanks to Julie G. for this find!
