Frocks Jacket

$99.00

Launched some 25 years ago, Columbia’s Japan Collection is full of retro stylings that are still wearable today. One favorite is the Frocks Jacket, with its bright color-blocking and boxy shape. Not just aesthetics, the jacket is made of water-resistant nylon and boasts a hood and a drop-tail to offer extra protection from the elements. Lightweight and colorful, it’s a great option for transitional seasons and summer downpours.

Profanity Greeting Cards

$15.00

Perhaps not made to give your grandma (depending on your grandma’s taste, that is), Not Another Bill’s set of Profanity Greeting Cards don’t technically insult the person you give them to—since the cuss words are crossed out. But the terms used—from “shit muncher” to “twat” and more—are playfully rude, and the cards’ design is simple but extremely effective. Inside, the cards are blank so you can make up for the swearing with a polite haiku. Each set contains six cards and envelopes. Price is in Euros.
