This is a great example of a terrarium with a nice accent added. The theme is for the movie lost and it has one of the characters in it. See more here: The Lost Terrarium
Model Train Accents
One of the first places you might want to look if you want various types of people and animals for your terrarium is in the model railroad world. There are a few different scales so you can get figures in different sizes.
HO Scale figures - These figures are less than an inch in size. The scale is 1/87 so the miniature people are 1/87th human size. HO Scale Figures
YOUNG TRAVELLERS - PREISER HO SCALE MODEL TRAIN FIGURES 10113
I like these, they are very appropriate for terrariums because they are little backpackers. Creates the illusion that they are traveling through your terrarium forest!

Bonsai style accents
Bonsai growers have been making and using little accents for centuries. We can borrow from this idea and give our terrarium a nice feel of the orient.

Terrarium Crystals
I think that crystals make a wonderful accent for a terrarium. It is much better than a regular stone. And if you can get some crystals that stand upright those are the best. Here is a picture of some of my crystals. The colored one is very nice because of the color. You can stand up the clear ones or embed them partially in the soil.
Fairies and Figurines and Miscellaneous Others
Mini Bicycle, Green
Bring back childhood memories with this little green bicycle. Maybe you had one just like this to go around the neighborhood delivering newspapers. The basket on the front carried papers ready for throwing on everyone's front lawn. Add this tiny metal bike to your miniature garden for a trip down memory lane. Its classic features include green fenders, pedals and handlebars. The wire basket can be filled with flowers picked while taking a ride down the miniature garden path. Or head down to the mailbox to look for a letter from faraway fairy friends. Keep your bike looking shiny by spraying it with a light coat of polyurethane when needed. (Note: Miniatures are small items that pose potential choking hazards to small children. They are not toys. Any accessories pictured are not included, for illustrative purposes only.)
1 X Mini Mailbox Pick
The red flag is down, so the mail must have arrived. Open the mailbox door, just a little bit, to peek inside. Wonder what came in the mail today? Sometimes the fairies like to send surprises, so everyone gets very excited. When the bunnies opened up their gift, they found carrots! Your Mailbox Pick will arrive empty, so you can wrap up boxes of mini goodies or insert a letter inside. Note: Accessories are not included.

Miniature Fairy Garden Mushrooms, Set of 3, Orange
Adding a bit of whimsy in the miniature garden, the Mushrooms are colorful and fun. The fairies were busy painting the mushrooms in colors of blue, green, lavender, pink, orange, and yellow. To the fairies' surprise and delight, the trolls added little red spots on the top of each mushroom! The bases of the mushroom are a creamy white hue that contrasts with the green of nearby plants. The set of three mushrooms, in the same color, range in size from .5" to 1.25" high with a 1.5" pick. Select the color of your choice or buy all the packages to create a rainbow fairy ring.

Miniature Fairy Garden Tiny Terrarium Stone House
Since the size of this house is tiny, it will fit well into a terrarium. The stone house can be placed on mini ivory pebbles or moss, which are lining the glass container. Next, add succulent plants that do not require a lot of watering, but provide much greenery to the terrarium. The detail in this tiny stone house lends well to a glass terrarium garden. Miniature cream colored stones are layered to create the walls of the house, while the roof of the main section is covered with a large boulder. The roof on the addition is a gray color that resembles a Spanish clay tiled roof. The additional detail of a woodpile, flower box, and rock seats adds charm to the tiny house.
