Kurt Adler Snowman Vespa Scooter Christmas Ornament

My goodness. This Kurt Adler Christmas ornament is $65! It’s designed by David Strand. And measures over 6 inches tall. But this ornament is priced like a Radko! Still it is the first snowman on a scooter I’ve run into. Except for this guy. And he’s much too big to hang on a tree.

Scooter Santas for us Yanks.

Remember this great ornament that I thought was only available in the UK? Well it turns out if you live in the US and are lucky enough to have a Garden Ridge store near you, you can walk in and buy this ornament for just $5.99! That is of course if fellow swaggers haven’t already beaten you to it. ; ) Now don’t pout if there isn’t a store near you. This scooter santa can be still found on eBay in different color combinations for a bit more.

Thanks to Dixie K. for this photo and stealthy find.

Find Garden Ridge store near you.

True snow birds.

Ordering the flamingo from the previous post? Hold on. Here’s another ornament you may have to have:

Like cats on scooters, penguins on scooters seem to be a common theme and we’ve featured quite a few of them in the past.

Here are two more riding a modern Vespa. They’re resin and measure 4″ x 3″. The price is $11.99.

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!
