We have a roll of split bus gift wrap. Can't use it for bay or Vanagon presents, of course. We also have a Hawaii fridge magnet with a split on it. Not many Vanagon relics that I've found beyond the occasional Matchbox toy.

Last year they found a cookie jar shaped like an early bus.  I don't know where they are getting these things, but they often come up with something interesting, and Bus/Vanagon/VW related.
