About this list:

Carnivals, fairs, or whatever you'd like to call them, exist for the sole purpose of having fun. There aren't too many things out there like that. So celebrate those childhood memories (good OR bad) with a few carnival souvenirs that are way cooler and more permanent than a goldfish in a plastic baggie. After all, what could be better than some good, clean, local summer fun?

Goldfish in a Bag Soap

2 people recommended this item

Description

I actually got this in my stocking one year at Christmas. It smells kind of weird, but what do you expect from goldfish soap?
But actually, the water part of the bag is soap and when you use it up you get a little rubber goldfish! And it never has to be flushed down the toilet! THE PERFECT PET.

Swing Big Wall Art by Christine Zoner

First to recommend

Description

Um so I got to go on one of these swing rides this weekend for the first time since I was in like 7th grade, and I forgot how fun they are. Seriously, you can't not like the swings. Remind yourself of those childhood county fair days with this wall print.

Come on, do the face paint job you loved as a kid. Princess? Vampire? Spiderman? Dragon? Eggs on one cheek, bacon on the other? (a real request during one of my babysitting jobs). Go for it. The world is your oyster.

Throw your own carnival in your backyard for your kids, friends, neighbors...or yourself...

Tunnel of Love Cars Fully Restored

Description

You can buy a refurbished seat from the Tunnel of Love ride and relive those romantic moments in your living room. Or porch. Or wherever you'd put one of these. I don't actually know where it would go.
