One of my new favorite gift shops is at the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. Cheekily named "Skeletons in the Closet," the gift shop is a great source for travel mugs that say "Bodily Fluids" and chalk outline beach towels. They used to sell body bags, but as I learned during a recent visit, those items have been phased out — once they stopped letting people engrave them with "mother-in-law," the products no longer flew off the shelves. It's a bit jarring to know that people are perusing fake crime scene kits and sweatshirts emblazoned with "CORONER" right next to the room where relatives pick up the property of their deceased loved ones, but honestly, it makes sense here.
