McDonald's Happy Meal toys have been known to set off collector frenzies, but more mundane items from Mickey D's can be worth putting aside, too, especially if they're scarce or are likely to disappear. The fast-food giant has begun shifting from plastic straws to paper ones, because of environmental concerns. In the U.K., where paper straws are al...

In 2015, Target stores offered special items from the resortwear company Lilly Pulitzer, and the merch sold out almost instantly. It was a similar story in 2007, when H&M rolled out a...
