This Week’s Rare Bit O’Swag:
Scooter Key Chains and Coin Banks from the Netherlands!
Posted by Tracy under Figurines , MiscellaneousNo Comments
Aleks H. came across the key chains at his local art supply store, Meininger’s in Denver. Alas, unless you want to order a gross of them and pay for shipping from the Netherlands, you may have a tough time finding them. Both the keychains and coin banks are made by the “Silly” company (silly.nl) and are featured on page 5 of their downloadable catalog. If anyone finds a US online source for these cuties, please let us know! (tips (at) scooterswag.com)
And thanks to Aleks for this cute find!

I really hope someone does a full-size scooter in all of these Rococo flourishes. This really is a neat toy. You just snap the vehicles and outfits onto the Bratz dolls — all in one fell swoop. Available at Target and other retailers.
Thanks to both our own Timmy T. and longtime Swagster Aleks H. for this find.

Thanks to Web Master Timmy we have some Google Analytics on ScooterSwag and I just find them fascinating. For instance, we average about 5,000 visitors a month from over 121 countries. That just blew my mind.
Here are the countries in order of how much they visit:
United States
United Kingdom
Indonesia (Beats out Canada by a mile! I didn’t see that coming.)
Canada
Germany
Italy
France
Phillipines
Russia (Wow! Just wow.)
Spain
So thanks for visiting Swagsters. And be sure to send us photos of Swag from your part of the world to tips (at) scooterswag.com.

Spirited Scooter Girl

Awhile back we posted about this neat greeting card:
Then over Christmas, Swagerista Rickie S. presented me with the same design on a coffee mug that came in its own gift box! (Thanks Rickie!)
It turns out that “Curly Girl Designs” has really expanded their line and now you can get this design on magnets, notepads, post-its, candles, water bottles, laptop skins, portable mini shopping bags and art prints.
To search for this design look for “The World Is Full of People” in the shop section of their site:

Remember when I asked about the baby carriage-scooter-sidecar combination I swore I had seen? Well as you can see, it DID exist. As a crazy promotion for Lambretta back in the 50s.
A safer bet may be the Vespa-ish “Roddler” Hot Rod Baby Carriage at just $2000:
It features “two rear and one front chrome wheels with fin-shaped fenders and white wall tires, color-matching brakes, wheel bullets, chassis, seat, and top, stainless steel hardware, chrome grips, an ultrasuede seat insert for comfort and carbon vinyl leatherette for the seat and top for added durability.” Or you can order one with a “Trike Kit” at $2,500 and transform the stroller into a trike when your kid is ready to take the wheel.
Thanks to Doughnut for this find!
(Be sure to see a similarly crazy Vespa promotion that South Africa is doing in a recent ScooterSwag post.)

Vespa South Africa has built a “Stretch Scooter” which can seat four people, and has two rear ends of the scooter put one after the other. Vespa called it “a family car on two wheels and kids will look forward to going to school on it. You can be the designated driver and can still park outside the front door of the party”. Okay!
Thanks to Doughnut for this find.
