Years ago we had a store in the mall called "Green Earth". They had a very interesting stock. Bowls with inspirational sayings that were hard to read unless you lit a candle in them, replica weapons, coffee cups with funny phrases, drinking games and the like. I think you get it.
These guys are some of the gets that I got from the place. A steampunk witch cat, cybernetic wolf and steampunk werewolf.
Funny story:
The company went out of business and on my last visit I found a replica Plague Doctor mask at 40% off. I put it back and asked my buddy, "When am I ever going to need a plague mask?". A few months later, Covid 19.
Maybe I shouldn't have asked.

That's actually more of a steampunk style cat, given the clockwork motif. Cyberpunk would be more computerized/futuristic accessories. I can't really comment on the wolf or werewolf since I can only see them from the one angle, but they seem to be in the middle-ground between the two styles.
I like places like that. There are many small shops in and around where I live that are fun to go to and browse. I like antique shops although I haven't been to one in a while.
Estate sales are also fun, but I had to stop going because I was buying too many things. I have a weakness for old electronics, especially wooden and Bakelite radios that use vacuum tubes and the last one I went to was at two properties that were owned by a TV/Radio repairman who used to own a shop a long time ago. I came home with a few tall wooden radios form the 1940s and '50s, as well as nearly all of the NOS vacuum tubes that he had on several shelving units - hundreds of tubes. I jokingly offered $50.00 for all of them and was surprised that the guy accepted my offer. It was during the final day and just as they were preparing to close up, so I guess that's why I got that bargain. Need any tubes? 🤣
