Seashells
My ex-girlfriend once had the right idea to sell half-cut seashells to wide-eyed tourists on the Venice Beach boardwalk. They all could’ve easily found quality seashells on their own, but my ex exclaimed that she was doing a service for the good of the tourists and the ocean. She later directed me to her lifestyle blog where she also sold t-shirts with said seashells and motivational texts surrounding them. It was weird, even for a hipster lumberjack like myself.
