Revel in the retro.
For $14.95 you can get a tin full of 100 assorted retro stickers including a great fenderlight Vespa image. The stickers would work great for card making, scrapbooking, gift wrapping and more. The images are printed on cream paper stock and the tin measures 4 3/4″ X 5 1/4″.
Merry Christmas!

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.

Fly your freak flag.
Here’s Santa (and baby reindeer) on a Honda Metropolitan on this big pennant. It measures approximately 40″ x 28″, is double sided polyester and is just $15.97 at Lowe’s.

1952 Vespa Faro Basso Paper Model
Whoa . . . hold on there. Before you get too excited I must let you know that the instructions are in Japanese and I haven’t been able to find templates to print out that are bigger than postage stamps.
Now that I’ve got the bad news out of the way I can tell you that this is a model of the scooter Audrey Hepburn rode in “Roman Holiday.” And this is possibly the most detailed paper scooter model I’ve ever come across. The 150 cc engine is even represented – just lift up the right cowl!
In the meantime I’ll be keeping an eye out for higher res templates and instructions in English for you papier fiends.

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. : (

Winking at you.
It seems like no more than a month or two passes before I discover another kid’s show featuring scooters. This time it’s an Italian show even though it looks like it came straight from the shores of Japan.
Here’s a description of what the “Winx Club” is all about according to Wikipedia:
“Winx Club is an action and fantasy show combined with comedic elements. In the mystical dimension of Magix, three special schools educate modern fairies, ambitious witches and supernatural warriors, and wizards from all over the magical universe.”
Oh and Bloom (the main character) rides a scooter.
You can get Bloom doll with her bright pink scooter for $20 on the ToysRUS site. The puzzle was featured in a recent eBay auction and is harder to find.
Watch the TV Commercial for the Bloom Scooter Doll in some language that is definitely not Italian.
Travel on less than $10 a day.
Claire’s currently has a silver tone charm bracelet and necklace featuring a scooter charm. The scooter looks like an odd combination of a Vespa and a very early Lambretta. Just $9.50 for each. claires.com
