We’ll take “Things that would be especially weird to buy from someone else’s lost luggage” for $1,000, Alex. (In all seriousness, this tube of Conceive Plus is new in its box, but … still.)
$16

You could do a lot with this 19th century jelly pan. Bathe a small baby in it. Wash clothes in it. Honor its purpose and make jelly in it. This one is gently used, but considering it’s from the 19th century, we’d be concerned if it wasn’t.
$399
Hockey fans will want to get their hands on this autographed Oilers hockey stick, sporting signatures from Bill Guerin, Doug Weight, and 13 other players. How it went missing, we’ll never know — a hockey stick is kind of hard to lose — but one traveler’s loss is another shopper’s gain.

Talk about a statement piece. These zebra-printed mules come in a size 6.5, and feature a sparkling, oversized bow on the front. Dress it up or … well, we don’t really know how you could dress these shoes down.
$19
Hopefully the groomsman this actually belonged to survived. Now the survival kit can be yours, complete with an emergency wedding ring, “manly” hankie, comb, shoe cleaning fluid, toothbrush, and toothpaste.
$6
There’s a time and place for everything, and this book — ”Having Nasal Surgery? Don’t You Become an Empty Nose Victim” — might be just the ticket for someone going through nasal surgery. Or for anyone curious about Empty Nose Syndrome (we had to look it up, too).
$15
For your next holiday shindig, break out this festive casserole dish, a ceramic vessel sporting winter flora. It may not be as beautiful as some of our other favorite casserole dishes, but scoring it from someone else's baggage gives it a unique backstory.
