"Unusual" items"

While most of what SXS does fits neatly into one of the category pages on this site, we have many other items that are just plain weird.

Our proactive response to client's needs over the years has built us a stock of unusual and weird items that may be useful to you in creating a unique event, or fulfilling a one-off requirement.

Below are a long list of stuff we have in stock that you may be able to use. Most of these items are not listed elsewhere on the site.
