To go with some more miniature items, some miniature buildings (not mini Lobby 1).

(Some of them are copyrighted in the worst case, but I can’t imagine this.)
And to go with Tanooki’s idea of a fancy PC tower, maybe some fancy computer peripherals too, just to go with a theme? But not too fancy.

And I’m sorry if anything of this is already in the game.

I think most people don’t know they’re in Animal Crossing (I certainly didn’t), but if they did I think something very well might be said. Animal Crossing is a good example of the boundaries of appropriation, though.
American and European culture has tried to present itself as “generic” and “universal”, which is why you don’t hear people saying that, you know, the recreation of the Central Perk coffee shop from Friends in Beijing is appropriative, for instance. Animal Crossing includes a lot of that “generic” culture, but it does include things from other cultures, and the inclusion of Japanese things in AC is justifiable because it’s a Japanese game, localised into English. So people who interact with and are a part of that culture on a daily basis have used it in a product that we’re getting from them, and that’s okay.
But if the TU developers aren’t Native American and were to include a totem pole without heavily involving a willing, experienced-with-totems-and-a-Native-culture-in-general Native person in its creation, that would be appropriation, as people who are not connected with the culture have tried to associate something with it without consulting someone from the culture they are interacting with.
The point made above about it being an appreciation vs a mockery is fair, but cultural appropriation isn’t necessarily about mocking the culture it comes from (though that is still a dick move). If you buy a dreamcatcher from a Native artisan, and hang it in your room, that’s not appropriation because the source was someone linked to the culture through family. If you buy a dreamcatcher from a white artisan in Boston, they may have put the same amount of love and care into the dreamcatcher as the Native artisan, but they aren’t Native American, and they aren’t part of any of the many Native cultures simply because they don’t originate from one of them, so it is appropriation.
It’s a complex issue, so my understanding may not be comprehensive, and my explanation may not be the best, so I recommend heading over to http://littlebittyindian.tumblr.com/faq (a blog written by a Native person) where point number 4 is probably the most relevant here. I like the entire blog, though, and there’s loads of instances there where this issue and other issues affecting indigenous peoples are discussed, so I encourage anyone who’s interested to look around and have a good read of it.

If you want to get into the specifics, totem poles aren’t specifically just found in Native American culture.

That doesn’t surprise me! After all, I’m not part of any culture that totem poles are important to, so I wouldn’t know everywhere they’re found. Do you happen to know of any other cultures totem poles are found in? It might be a good idea for the devs to consult with them as well if they’d like to put totem poles in the game.

My bad suggestions (sorry if they are in the game all ready.)
-
A picture frame that you could put a picture in, it would look good.
-
Some kind of oddly satisfying three dimensional model, if animated 10x better.
-
A snowball that you can throw or use in a duel
-
A free bear hug sign (for the kawaii side)
