Philadelphia, here’s how to pope out your crib

Get cozy with a papal plush doll, sold at Open House. “One person bought five for her family,” says Joelle Long, manager of the Midtown Village boutique. “We’re trying to stay as stocked as possible.” If they run out before you get there, go for the pope bobblehead instead, or the “solar pope” figurine that waves when put in the sun.
Plush doll, $22
Open House, 107 S. 13th St.

Even if you can’t get close enough to see the pope, he can still join you for breakfast. The Pope Toaster comes with inserts that brand Pope Francis’s face or the message “spread the love” onto your bread. (Liberty Bell and Ben Franklin inserts are also available for your toasting enjoyment.)
Toaster, $48.95
