Entrepreneur BJ Chamberlain of Thomaston, Maine has created a gift novelty vending machine using a machine he bought on Facebook and has placed the first of what he hopes will be many in a café in nearby Rockland, according to a Bangor Daily News report.

The machine, called the Goblin Market, offers rocks, various booklets, tarot cards and a "party kit" offering heart shaped glasses and a wig.

He plans to add edible crickets.

Chamberlain looks forward to offering art from local artists and CDs and cassettes from local musicians.
