Weird Shops

Genuine industrial surplus sold with the best product copy on the internet: lab glassware, small motors, and 400 unexplained springs.

Seattle's novelty institution: rubber chickens, emergency moustaches and an unreasonable number of items shaped like tinned meat.

Obsessive gallery of what strangers keep in their pockets, photographed from above and argued over at remarkable length.

British gift shop with a taste for the daft and mildly rude, plus the occasional genuinely good bit of kit hidden among it.

Industrial supply catalogue with half a million parts, organised so well that engineers browse it purely for pleasure.

Feed of products that should not exist, from bacon-scented soap to a hammock designed to hang under your desk.

The world's largest supplier of real and replica skulls, browsable by species, which is educational and mildly alarming in equal parts.

The seat-pocket catalogue survived the airline it came with and moved online, still selling garden yetis to a captive audience.

Gag gift shop selling the same reliable nonsense since the dot-com boom, on a layout that has aged in real time.

Daily edit of objects, gear and short videos picked by somebody with taste and no obvious interest in sponsorship.

Daily gift catalogue for things nobody needs, and the reason several of your friends own a novelty tap they never use.

Curiously awesome products sold through absurd demonstration videos, most of which are more entertaining than the item itself.

Genuinely baffling real product listings pulled from the big marketplaces and presented with almost no commentary.
