I have German heritage and as a result, have a special affection for that culture. One of the things I love to collect are beer steins. Now, while this may not be an authentic stein from the motherland, but having one with my name on it plus a special quotation makes this a real neat find.

There are some constants in this universe: Death, taxes, and how much kids love Sesame Street. Now they can take their favorite character with them after their nightly bath. Not only can they have their favorite character, they can have their name embroidered onto the towel.

OK, I may get accused of ringing in Halloween too soon, but this would make a nice decoration for October 31. A personalized door mat in the shape of a pumpkin is one way to add a unique touch to your home’s decor when the kids come trick or treating.

Celebrate your anniversary with a twist with the personalized wine glasses. These glasses are made from European glass and are perfect for any monogram you might need. These would be appropriate for a wedding or any anniversary. I just hope there’s nobody with a monogram like “PMS.”

Now that school is close to being back in full swing, you can make your child feel even more special with a personalized backpack. Now, teenagers and older kids might not find the appeal of this, but kids in elementary school would love to have their name on their backpack.

In this age of instant entertainment from video games, movies and toys, it’s hard to sometimes imagine what previous generations did, outside of sports, to entertain themselves. Fortunately, there are some sites that offer antique toys. This gives older generations a chance to relive some fond childhood memories and give the current generation a glimpse of the past.

Even though there is a trend toward e-books and tablet computers, there is still nothing like holding a book in your hand. And having a classic of literature and having an early edition would be even better. Now, this might be a little on the expensive side, but having something like this would be really cool.

Just by mentioning vinyl records, you’re looking at something that is rare and collectible. There are two types of vinyl records; 33s and 45s. 33s were the larger, full album records where the 45s contained only two songs, one on each side. 45s are where the concept of the single in music comes from.

It’s interesting to find old publications to see people’s perspective on historic events that were current for them. There are quite a few vintage magazines available online, but since most of these magazines had many issues during a year, listing them all becomes a time consuming process. If you’re looking for something specific, you can contact these people to see if they have it.

If you’re a fan of movies, and not just the blockbusters that Hollywood produces, you’ll probably spend a few hours perusing this site. There are some movies that you could find elsewhere, but this site does have some rare movies such as this documentary on bodybuilding featuring a young Arnold Schwarzenegger.
