Do Your Best Pennant

$16.00

Some of us need a little extra motivation to get out of bed on the best of days, so hanging this “Do Your Best” pennant somewhere you can see when you wake up isn’t a bad idea. It’s also a great reminder that your best can vary day to day, so it’s important to practice self care on the days you’re just not feeling it. Available in blue, black, orange or yellow, this felt flag is made in the United States and measures seven by 21 inches.

Naked Advent Calendar

$38.00

Even though Mr Bingo hates Christmas, he made an advent calendar for others to enjoy. Though, there’s no chocolate on offer each day, it’s something arguably better. Every day of December that goes by, you can use a coin to scratch off a character’s golden outfit, revealing a gloriously naked body underneath. Not just fit bodies, the calendar features all shapes and ages, sizes and abilities. It’s a delightfully absurd take on a Christmas tradition. (Price is in British pounds.)
