The Restless Mouse Novelty Co. - Tacky fun done dirt cheap!
The Restless Mouse Novelty Co. BLOG

This was supposed to be mainly news about our novelty/oddity websites, and the novelty industry in general, but then I got way into novelty music and set up Restless Mouse Radio, so now there's links for that, plus I post the ocassional joke, and, well, it winds up like most blogs... a hodgepodge of nonsense.
Fortunately there are topic tags so you can find relevant posts easily.


Tiny self-puffing cigs, extinct?

WHAT will your smoking Babies/ smoking monkeys smoke now?



I called the wholesaler just now, apparently they discontinued the extra cig packs! She doesn't know if they are planning to discontinue the Smoking Monkeys and Smoking Babies, but they are both pretty popular, my guess is that they are working on a new package & supplier for those.

A few years ago, they recalled the cigs, I even had to take the ones out of the packages they come in with the babies or monkeys, nothing wrong with the cigs., the tobacco companies thought they looked too much like thier real cigarette packages. I hadn't bought any more of the spares since then, but there is a new design on the ones that come with the monkeys so that can't be it.

ANYWAY- you get a total of 11 cigs with the thing. I will search for alternatives, but even Johnson-Smith doesn't seem to have them. I remember when I was a kid, they sold tiny self-puffing cigs, you could poke a hole in a dollar and make George "smoke". What is the world coming to when you can't get stuff like that.

HEY anybody knows where I can get these, PLEASE let us know! Thanks!

Martians Popping about to become scarcer...



Martian Popper     #CT6601 Martian Popping Thing
You've seen them in some cold medicine TV ad, and on "Drake and Josh", Martian Popping Thing has amazing stress-reducing properties. Squeeze him and his eyes, ears, even nose, pop out! They retract when you let go, and there are no repercussions.

He's made of thick rubber (not latex) for long life. The supplier for this product jacked up the wholesale price on these so high that I stubbornly refuse to buy more. So, "while supplies last".

Dishes may look clean; but what if the dog licked them?

Clean dishes, dirty silverware? Dog licked it does not count.Our #BD1520 Clean or Dirty Magnet is a handy item for the dishwasher, once you condition people to flip the stupid thing around right after putting away the clean dishes, and to flip it back to clean when running a load.


Otherwise it is handy to hold a note to the fridge, write your husband a John Deere letter and run off with a tractor salesman? That would be harsh.


Anyway. The Dishwasher Magnet is one of our most popular items and useful items, at least in the kitchen. Quantity discounts available.

Classic strip pen from Holland



Item #GG1220; Supremely Tacky Striptease Lady Pen

When turned over, the lady's clothes disappear, revealing her naughty bits. Our choice of barrel colors, many variations so it's hard to promise certain color/model combinations. Besides, a little surprise in your life is a good thing.

I had to spray paint the picture a little because some of the pens are stored upside down. (No sneak previews!) Sorry, pen cannot be imprinted (Most of barrel is consumed by the naked lady display, rest is too curved to imprint) Just $1.99 each, less in quantity.
