Novelty Mailboxes - There's One To Fit Everyone's Taste

If you’re looking for something different to use as a mailbox, check out some of the novelty mailboxes that are all the rage at the moment. For animals lovers there are animal mailboxes. Yes, you read that right - animal mailboxes. These nifty boxes are shaped like your favorite animal and placed at you front gate will certainly attract many interested folks. It seems to me that these novelty mailboxes could easily depict the type of work the owner of a house does. For example the above mentioned animal mailbox could be at the front gate of a veterinarian. Likewise, a ‘building’ mailbox, the front gate of a carpenter, the only disadvantage to this idea would be if the home owner decides to move, he or she would have to load their novelty mailbox into the moving truck also.

Another one of the many novelty mailboxes available is for people that enjoy standing on a rocky shoreline casting a line out into a deep blue ocean and hauling in the one that didn’t get away - fishing mailboxes are able to be purchased. The Poly Fire Tiger Fishing Lure mailbox is unique. Made from a high impact poly-resin which is strong enough to resist harsh weather and strong sunlight, the Poly Fire Tiger Fishing Lure mailbox is painted in the colors of a fishing lure and will no doubt lure many people to your front gate for a closer look. Personally I envisage this mailbox in some small fishing village or coastal town, again depicting the work of the owner. Somehow this mailbox in the middle of Manhattan would be incongruous. This mailbox retails for $90.00.

For beer lovers the Beer Keg mailbox is a popular choice. This mailbox is constructed from thick aluminum with a pine post. Its heavy construction makes it durable in all weathers as well as being vandal proof. The Beer Keg mailbox large size means it is able to hold larger than normal packages. Having this mailbox adorning your front lawn is telling the neighborhood that you enjoy having a few cold brew-skis. It could also be construed as a hint for guests to bring a six-pack when visiting. Passers-by would expect to see a large, over-weigh man with a huge beer gut mowing the front lawn of this Beer Keg mailbox house. Indeed, some say that people who invest in novelty mailboxes usually buy mailboxes that suit their personality or character – a little dog owners who, after a period of time, resemble their dog. Or, perhaps the dog resembles its owner.

Investing in one of the many novelty mailboxes on the market today will definitely bring scrutiny from neighbors.
