Wacky Pug Hats

 

I am not sure what the pug is thinking but these pug hats are super cute/funny. Designed and handmade by Jessica Furtado, in the US they are sold through Etsy for $20. The pug as a cat hat is quite a conversation point....lets hope the pug doesn't quite get it...

Cute Matchbox Pendants

 

There are tons of online kitsch jewellery stores but Jenny and Jimbob is a little different. Established by LA-based couple..Jenny and Jimbob, they have put that extra bit of thought into their business and came up with totally unique matchbox presentation boxes with their own unique messages and artwork. They are so adorable and both the design of the pendants and message statements are witty and fun. The pendants come on a 17'' chain in either pewter ($30) or gold-plated ($40).

Kitsch means different things to different people and good and bad. Wiki definitions include 'tasteless copy', 'camp' and 'a deliberate use of elements thought as cultural icons'.  Kitsch to us means fun, humour and a nod to well-loved symbols of society, whether this be cute kittens, donuts or the much-loved Rubik's Cube. Some of our favourite online stores include folksy.com, chelseadoll.co.uk, kitsch-tique.co.uk, jijikiki.com, ilovecutiepie.com, junkielovers.com, schmutzerland.com, punkypins.co.uk, randomeyesboutique.co.uk, boopydoodle.ca, temporary-secretary.com and dollydagger.co.uk
