Despite the fact that most of us are still recovering from Christmas I thought this figurine was cute enough to risk making some of you gag. ; ) It’s made out of Polystone and measures approximately 10″ H x 12″ W x 5″ D and costs $55.

Spotted on eBay awhile back, this large vintage handmade Santa riding a scooter was probably a Christmas Card holder in someone’s uber cool 60’s era home. A definite idea for you crafters out there.
However this ornament will clean out your wallet – it’s $22.95!
But oh how detailed and glitterlicious! I especially like his “Ho Ho Ho” pennant and the fancy headlight!
Thanks to Julie G. for this find.
Here is a set of salt and pepper shakers made by 180 Degrees. They’re magnetic so they stay together. Assuming the Santa is the salt and the scooter is the pepper? The set measures 4.5″ when together with the scooter measuring in at 3.5″. They come gift boxed and the price is $18.25.
I can’t remember who sent me these lovely photos and this tip so please let me know so I can add it to the post. Cheers.
Why “Father Christmas” and not “Santa Claus”? Because this glass ornament is only available in the UK. Made by Gisela Graham, it measures approximately 11cm and is £13.50.
(These can occasionally be found on eBay but beware of knock-offs that aren’t as nice.)
Merry Christmas Eve Scooter Swaggers!
On top, here’s a vintage Russian Christmas card just for you. The Russian Santa Claus is called “Ded Moroz” or “Grandfather Frost”. Both sound ominous to me.
The second card features the fairly rare Peugeot scooter as Santa’s transport. Note that a joyful reindeer is also getting a lift.
