Thanks to Cassie for this find.
And Happy New Years ScooterSwaggers!
Liqueur is quicker.
Here’s a gift set of three traditional Italian liqueurs: Limoncello, Caffè and Grappa which also features a scooter on its label. At 41 Euros the price is a bit steep for Americans but it may be priced right for the Europeans who are looking for a present to bring to a party during the holidays.

A Rare Bit O’Swag:
A Sugar, Salt, & Pepper Santa Claus
This helpful scooter Santa can offer you salt, pepper, and sugar from his sidecar. The scooter and the sidecar come together with the aid of magnets and the set measures approximately 4.5″ high. Alas no markings were mentioned and I have been unable to find an online source. : (
Road trip!
SugarBooger and ORE originals have teamed up to put out this line of food totes called “Road Trip” that features a Vespa. Best of all there is everything but the kitchen sink included in this collection Prices for pieces range from $8.50 to $40.00.
You can find the entire line here at the ORE site or here on Amazon .
Thanks to Cassie M. for this terrific find!
Jones Soda in Vespa Flavor!
Actually the real flavor is Strawberry Lime. In the lower right hand corner the ID tag reads: “Liz Ruetsch; #1331039; Windsor, CA.” I’m assuming that means Windsor, California although the bottle also reads “Product of Canada” near its neck.
Thanks to James M. for this great find and photo. He spotted these at his local Meijer store which is a grocery outlet chain in the Great Lakes region.
Of course you can also order Jones Soda with your own custom label. Find out more here .
Ice scream.
If you’re lucky enough to live near a Waitrose UK grocery then you can get your Tiramisu on:
“Vanilla, coffee and marsala flavoured ice cream with a rippled coffee sauce and dark chocolate curls. Made with British milk and cream.”
Here’s a link .

New Packaging for Starbucks Italian Roast
Love the new packaging on the Starbucks Italian Roast – very vroooomy. This may be the packaging for the Fair Trade beans or the Dark Roast only? Let’s hope they come out with matching coffee mugs . . .
The first ever Vespa spoon rest?
Here are some handmade from scratch in a Chicago pottery studio called CircaCeramics. The spoon rest is $25 and the mug is $32.
Available at Nordstroms .
Thanks to Julie G. for this find.
Drink outside the box.
More scooter wine! Our cups runneth over. Terre De Trinci is a winery located in the Umbria region in the center of Italy. And their wines have been rated 90+ points in Wine Spectator so you know their boxed wines are probably going to be pretty good.
If you hail from Arizona, you’re in luck as both of these wines are available at the Bashas supermarket chain.
If they are spotted elsewhere, would ya let us know?
