Kayaks
Every now and again when I still lived in New York, my family and I would go to the marshes on the edge of a local bay and go kayaking through the wetlands. It's spawned more than one Infamous Family Story, such as when I accidentally beached myself in a cattail cluster trying to shortcut between waterways. My struggles to get free caused quite a bit of rustling and shaking of the reeds. This fully convinced my younger brother that a crocodile was about to burst out of the swamp to eat him, and he took off down the channel at half the speed of sound.
Thumbtacks
On the wall just as you enter my house is a small corkboard. One foot square, it holds all the small trinkets, tokens, widgets, and associated whangdoodles I've received in the SCA. Or at least, in the SCA in the past two years, which is about how long I've had it. I can't remember where half of them are from anymore, but it warms my heart a little regardless to have a representation of all the places I've been and things I've participated in.
If I get a site token or small gift of lucet cord, though, I feel like the best way to display it will be winding it around all of the tacks and pins holding all the other items to the board. If you get the chance to legitimately set up a corkboard with random items linked by bright colored cord and you don't take it, are you really even living?
Carrots
As much as pretentious supermarket marketing typically annoys me, I really do like the little bundles of multicolored carrots that they have in the organic-snobfoodery section. I'm tempted to buy them and go for the ultra chef-y "roast them and glaze them with the little green bits still on" every single time I see them.
