Not sure who sent me this awesome paper model (please step forward!) but here you go. It’s from a Japanese site. For other paper models we’ve featured at ScooterSwag, click here.

Christmas in July & A Rare Bit O’Swag:
Scooter Santa Ceramic Ornament
Spotted on eBay! I have been unable to find out much about this adorable little guy — gleefully bearing a candy cane. I do know this: I want one. And that means we here at ScooterSwag will be keeping our eyes peeled. You’ll be the first to know if I find a source.
Christmas in July & A Rare Bit O’Swag:
Space Santa
Here’s another Santa I spotted on eBay. Sadly I was outbid. And this is one I would quietly kill for. I mean, com’on! This is Space Santa! He’s riding a freakin’ space Heinkel! And he’s packing a ray gun! The good news is that this does not appear to be a vintage ornament.
Hopefully more details to follow soon . . .
Christmas in July:
Scooter Kitty Ornament
How about an Indonesian scooter cat for your tree? It’s made of hand-painted Albesia wood. It measures 3.5″ L X 3.5″ H and is only $10. And by the way, there’s another scooter ornament on this site that we posted about last year.
Thanks to Julie G. for this find!
Christmas in July!
A Scooter Santa Music Box?
These sometimes show up on eBay. Don’t have any information on manufacturer or where to buy online. The description reads that it’s a resin figure with a music box measuring 10.5″H 10.5″W 4.5″D. Heck, I don’t even know what song it plays. If anyone else out there knows more, please fill us in!
A Rare Bit O’Swag:
Donut Delivery Vespa Ape Ornament
This Patisserie scooter Christmas ornament was on Sur La Table’s site but alas is now unavailable. But who knows? Maybe they will bring it back another year. And it’s always worth a looksie on eBay.
Thanks to April Whitney and Scoot! Club for this find:
Scooter Hootch rides again.
Spotted at Grocery Outlet, this latest scooter wine comes in Proscecco Brut, Pinot Grigio, Chianti and Tuscan Red. They all seem to be priced under $20. There’s a store finder listed on their site. And these wines may also be found online for the intrepid researcher who’s willing to go to the trouble. If any of you find this wine in national chains, would you let us know? Grazie.
Thanks to Becky M. for this find!
Glittery goodness.
Here’s Sarah Rose (my favorite Whole Foods cashier) holding a new Papyrus Card. It’s very glittery and reminds me a lot of the puff stickers I had as a kid in the 80s. Remember those? Can’t find this card on their site but I’ll bet your can find it in your Whole Foods or at one of the Papyrus stores:
Nothing says summer like a parrot riding pillion.
Here’s a wonderfully detailed embroidered tea towel featuring a blue Vespa, a parrot and a lot of assorted produce loaded on the back luggage rack. It measures 28″ x 21″ and is $18 at Anthropologie.
Thanks to Tammy D. for this find!
“Cars 2” featured a scooter!
Well, actually it’s a Vespa Ape and it’s name is “The Zen Master.” So heck yeah that counts! Best of all the two sets of diecast cars you see here at on sale for $3.99 a set.
