1. A snow globe with smog
When you are looking for souvenirs, snow globes are one of the most popular choices. However, this snow globe for Houston, Texas seems to be focused on heavy smog.

2. Confused Crocs
Crocs are very popular, fashionable, and of course, expensive. Now, this thrift shop find is definitely a croc, but a very confused one.
At first, it looked like it was a bag, but if you look closer, your head would be filled with questions. What do you think is this?

3. Sheriff Woddy – tired version
Our favorite Sheriff hasn’t slept in a while and seemed to be overworked. Look at those eye-bags! He definitely needs an extreme makeover.

4. Pickled stuffed toys
If you own a vintage stuffed toy, it’s just right that you do your best to preserve its quality, right?
When we mean to preserve, we mean storing them properly and not this way. It’s definitely the weird and a bit scary way of preserving your beloved toys.

5. For the love of Shrek!
The previous owners of this pair of jeans must have loved Shrek so much.
Just look how he customized his pants just to have his favorite character with him. Would you wear this?

6. Unicorn skeleton
Unicorn candles are actually a good idea, especially when it’s scented and pretty, but this one?
It’s a unicorn candle that reveals its skeleton as it burns. Whoever thought of this idea is a little bit twisted. Who would buy this?

7. Nicolas Bag
When you are a fan, you’d be thrilled to have items that have quotes, photos, and even memorabilia from your idol.
However, this one is a little bit overboard if you ask us. This bag looks like it’s staring at you. Would you buy this?

8. Why God? Why?
We all experience trials in life that may even question our faith, but this, it’s one-of-a-kind!
It looks like he turned his setback into an opportunity to write his own book. The question is, would you read this book?

9. Change of career
Looks like after Harry Potter, Hagrid decided that he wanted to venture and change his career.
Surely, no one would hang this very weird painting, right? Or would you?

10. It actually works!
This meme was transformed into an intriguing photo and was then framed to be sold in a thrift shop.
It’s not that weird, but it’s also not something that you’d proudly bring to your home. It’s still kind of cute, though.

11. The shopping Liszt
If you are not a fan of classical music, then the first thing that will come to mind when you see the famous Liszt album is the literal ‘shopping list’ that you need to do soon.
No wonder someone listed basic grocery items on Liszt’s forehead.

12. A cat’s sorrow
This painting is actually sad. You can clearly see that the cat had some weight issues, and maybe that is a reason why the poor feline was crying in this painting.
She always lies down long enough that someone could actually paint her.

13. Noble E.T
If you are a fan of the classic movie E.T, then you know this guy.
What’s weird is that he’s wearing a nobleman’s suit, but we get it.
It actually works. Would you put this unique find on display?

14. A vintage Grichel
You might get that weird feeling about this bag, but don’t worry! It’s actually a vintage Grichels bag.
It’s actually a very popular and unique brand of bags.
According to their website, Grichels is actually that feeling of being watched in the woods. You know, when you get that eerie feeling that someone’s looking at you or is behind you.

15. The fashionista sower
The caption in the book says that the sower is sowing his seeds. We totally get that, but this sower is totally lit!
Just look at how he walks while sowing his seeds, totally a model if you’d ask us!

Okay, we know you’re laughing and can’t get enough of them, but we have to ask, which one is your favorite? Which one would you actually get?
