Wicked Goodz

bummer guys. just saw a sign on wicked goodz that says «everything must go». this is a good indication that they’re going out of business. if you have a chance to stop by, everything now is 20% off.

In the market for an orange monkey-​shaped vegetable peeler? Some «wash-​away-​your-​sins» soap? A tin of Last Supper mints? Some very cute «mittens for your feet» Japanese socks with little bunnies on them? A plastic shower curtain with steaks printed all over it? Then this is your place!
I absolutely love this fun store packed with novelties of all kinds. (It reminds me of Macro Polo in Portsmouth, which also rocks.) There’s literally something geared towards everyone, from a section of Elvis-​related stuff, to a disturbing amount of bacon-​scented paraphernalia. (Who in the crap wants a bacon-​scented air freshener or bacon-​shaped band-​aids? And why did I almost get them?)
After holding back from the 3-​D postcards and duckies-​with-​devil horns shower curtain, the kid and I decided on new bags. She got a very cool plastic tote printed with an airport-​esque x-​ray image of the contents of someone’s suitcase on it, which she loves. I grabbed the sock monkey messenger-​type bag, which is perfect as my new travel bag.
I literally could have spent hundreds in here on stuff that would most likely gather dust in my already overcrowded house. But I love this store. A nice change of pace from all of the witchy (but very cool) stores in the area.

This is a cool little place in the heart of Salem near Red’s Sandwich shop that is very interesting. Amazing! A funky little shop in Salem that isn’t trying to sell me a book on becoming a Wicken or Warlock? If you ever feel the need for an Elvis lunch box, a dash board hula girl, a rubber ducky with devil horns, or a shower curtain with cartoon monkeys (yes, shower curtains with cartoon monkeys!), this is the place. One item I always browse while I’m in there is the book on the worst food recipes. There is an entire chapter on Jello from the late 50’s that boggles the mind.
