Elf’s Christmas Movie Night Kit

Ready to take in some Christmas flicks with the kids? Put together a little Christmas Movie Night kit the night before and place it in the living room for them to find in the morning. The official Elf on the Shelf website has a tutorial for creating a cute little scene featuring a snack caddy or bento box, movie snacks, and an Elf Pets Reindeer.

Pool Party Elf

A little blue tissue paper and some Elf-sized pool floats and palm trees can create a tropical pool party in your sink. You can find all these Elf-sized accessories and more on the official Elf on the Shelf shop.

Special Delivery Elf

The kids will run around the house looking for the Elf, only to finally discover that they’ve got a special delivery waiting at the mail slot (or out in the mailbox). If you aren’t aware, Etsy is a great source of handmade Elf on the Shelf accessories, like these personalized felt envelope costumes by Damiline. You can even have them embroidered with your kids’ names to make them a little more special. In a rush to pull it off? Try painting or drawing your own version on some paper.

Paper Bag Toy Race Elf

Gather up some of your kids’ favorite toys, tuck them into paper bags, and viola! You’ve got an imaginative new way to present your Elf on the Shelf one day this December. This idea from Stacy Molter is quick and simple, but kids will really get a kick out of it.

Instagram Elf

Your Elf is ready for an Instagram moment with this simple idea from Elf on the Shelf. All you need to do to recreate it is print out the Instagram photo frame from the Elf on the Shelf website, pose your Elf, and tape the frame to their hands.

Campfire Elf

This handmade accessory kit by TheImaginativeHealer on Etsy will help you create a cozy campfire scene complete with a miniature fire, two roasted marshmallows on sticks, four s’mores, four marshmallows in a bag, a little tartan blanket, and a plate.

Nutcracker Elf

Save this idea for those nights when you’re tired and need the simplest possible scene to put together in less than a minute. If you already have some Nutcracker figurines on hand (or other similarly-sized festive figures), just pose the Elf to “blend in” with them.

Elf on the Shelf Santa Cam

Instagram user Ashley Chung showed off this cute idea made from simple objects found at the Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby. Her “Santa Cam” features a camera picture frame, kids’ magnifying glass, wired lights, silver stud ribbon, craft paper, and sticker letters, but you could create something similar with whatever you find.

Mermaid Elf

Did you know you can buy Elf on the Shelf products on Amazon, too? This cute little “Merry Mermaid” costume is among them, ready to be posed on your Elf. Try creating a winter pool scene with a piece of blue paper, some white paint, and faux snow.

Soccer Goal Elf

Another item available on the Elf on the Shelf Amazon store is the North Pole Goal and Gear accessory kit. Dress your Elf figure up in a tiny soccer uniform and place it next to this folded paper goal.

Ball Pit Elf

A bag of red and green M&Ms, a sieve, and a tiny sign establish that this mini ball pit is for Elves only. This idea came from Ashley Byron of Stage.Organize.Sell, and it takes just a few minutes to put together.

Elf’s Toilet Paper Snowflakes

Uh-oh – this Elf took a clue from their much larger friend, Buddy the Elf, and perhaps went a little too far in their attempt to spread some Christmas cheer. Not even the toilet paper is safe. All you need to recreate this idea from Chloe Boyle is a pair of scissors and some sacrificial TP.

Tangled Up Elf

Okay, so maybe Elves don’t quite know what to do with floss. That makes this little scene from Elf on the Shelf a real learning opportunity, featuring nothing more than some dental floss and a little sign.

Totally Tubular Elf

An inflatable tube plus a matching scarf and ear muffs are all you need to create an adventurous tubing scene for your Elf. Get creative with some faux snow or even just some draped white fabric to act as the snowy hill.

Below are some stunning examples of global retailers embracing fresh, forward-thinking aesthetics to make a big statement:

Hug Concept Store — Chengdu, China

High fashion is the perfect template for this inventive and iconoclastic mashup of neutrality and sparse, avant-garde surroundings from Atmosphere Architects. Stark and spacey with bold pops of the brand’s signature blue hue, the background exudes 2001: A Space Odyssey vibes while serving as a stylish, sumptuously sparse setting that puts the attention squarely on the designer wares.

KIKS — Beijing, China

A rollicking redesign that’s big on planetary power, this stylish streetwear brand’s new store resembles the solar system itself, complete with colorful curved walls dotted with trendy merchandise that seems to orbit the space around you. ROOI Design & Research really pushed the envelope here with a movable, ready-made retail universe that draws in customers with its own kind of gravitational pull.

AKRIS — Washington, US

Swiss fashion brand AKRIS raises the bar with a no-limits layout from David Chipperfield Architects. Here too, the focus is on the clothing and accessories. But these wares almost seem to float magically outside of time and space, thanks to a specially designed system of cables supporting both shelves and hangers from behind the scenes. A trendy neutral backdrop completes the illusion, with a touch of sophistication in the form of chic limestone flooring.

Cris Belos — Belo Horizonte, Brazil

This luxe, elevated boutique by the London and São Paulo-based Carolina Maluhy + Partners is dominated by creamy neutral tones and curvy, imaginative touches that exude a futuristic fashion house vibe. Consisting of four connected rooms (each more sweeping than the last), the sprawling space has no shortage of elegance: simply look to the sweeping staircase or the airy, incandescent ceiling if you don’t believe us.

Bala — Soho, New York City

Consumer engagement and sensory immersion go hand-in-hand in Bala’s first-ever retail space. Designed by Madelynn Ringo of Ringo Studio, the playful space is brimming with pretty pastels and gorgeous geometry. An experiential store where guests are encouraged to embrace the products’ textures, weightiness, and above all, playfulness, the vivid hues and soft, inviting atmosphere embody the brand’s aesthetic perfectly.

These forward-thinking retail stores prove that the industry really is looking ahead when it comes to inspiration. Fun, futuristic, and above all, fashionable, these trendy spots are riding the wave of fresh aesthetics that encourage guests to get lost in the moment.

Leading the pack with their latest offerings from Threshold designed with Studio McGee, Target Home is serving up some of the coolest, most affordable new arrivals of the season.

This time, the dynamic design duo is upping the ante for fall with a departure from the norm. Don’t expect your typical golden hues, vivid reds, and burnt oranges here. With designer Shea McGee leading the way, the brand has gone in a decidedly different direction, opting for a much needed dose of earth-toned neutrality.

While this might be out of step with the recent wave of maximalist trends, the collection’s chic yet casual style is both classic and timeless. Think muted creams and soft whites, dove grays and light browns, and an overall palette that makes for the perfect backdrop to fall’s often deeper, over-the-top colors.

Consisting of furniture, lighting, decor, and art, the collection is big on warmth and coziness — and with oh-so affordable price tags starting at $15, it’s easier then ever for the average person to turn their home into a stylish seasonal haven.

Despite all its promise, the MagSafe iPhone feature doesn’t get used for anything particularly exciting. MagSafe accessories are mostly limited to chargers, bike mounts, and the occasional wallet. So it’s kind of satisfying that the SnapGrip expands upon this functionality in a way that’s both fun and useful. Take it out of your bag, snap it, on and you’re ready to go.

The grip really does make the phone feel like a real, physical camera, and the wireless shutter button is a lot more convenient than trying to press the button on the screen without getting your thumb in the photo. It’s easy to rotate your phone from landscape to portrait mode, and when you snap it in place, it automatically opens your phone’s camera app. Compatible phones include a wide variety of iPhone models from the iPhone 8 all the way up to the iPhone 14 Pro; the Samsung Galaxy Note, Edge, S22 and more; Google’s Pixel 3 through 6 Pro; and various models from Huawei, LG, and Xiaomi.

It’s true that the SnapGrip itself is a little bulky, though. Is it worth it to carry around just for the ability to hang onto your phone a little tighter on the go? Not really, but thankfully, it does a whole lot more than that. The battery pack of the SnapGrip doubles as a portable charger, and it also works as both a stand and a charging dock. So if you need any of those functions and love to take photos, it has a lot to offer.

If there’s one downside, it might be that the SnapGrip is made of hard plastic, rather than the rubbery grip you might expect from the name. It’s also a little heavy at 4.9 ounces, but that’s standard for portable chargers. The grip is the thickest part at 1.25 inches thick, while the rest of the body is quite thin. It features four LED lights to indicate battery level, as well as lights for power on/off, and Bluetooth pairing. You charge it up via a USB-C port.

In addition to the SnapGrip, ShiftCam makes three other MagSafe accessories: the SnapShoe shoe mount for tripods, the SnapPod selfie stick, and a flippable SnapLight light ring that works in tandem with both the SnapPod and SnapGrip. A recent Kickstarter campaign successfully raised nearly $850,000 to bring the SnapGrip to life, and now it’s available for pre-order on the ShiftCam website alongside the other products.

Enter the newest offering from Yamaha Design Laboratory. “Stepping Out of the Slate” is comprised of four interactive music devices that aim to make playing music on your phone feel like a more tactile and immersive experience — an orchestra in your pocket that goes way beyond a simple push of a button.

Yamaha recently introduced prototypes for the devices, each with a snazzy name befitting its symbiotic function with your smartphone: the “TurnT,” “Winder,” “MusicLight,” and “RhythmBot.” The group aims to expand on the already burgeoning market for digital accessories and experiences that bring music to users’ pockets. But rather than solely relying on an app to replicate more traditional music experiences, these gadgets provide music lovers with a more interactive (and fun) way to play their favorite tunes.

The TurnT is just what it sounds like: a turntable, or record player, for your phone. Using your screen as the record, the TurnT’s stylus is positional and can be used to switch songs and albums, while also signaling the record to start playing. As the company recently said, “The step of carefully placing the stylus over the record [brings] back the nostalgia” of choosing your vinyl of choice and the anticipation of waiting for it to play.

If the TurnT is nostalgic, then the Winder plays even more on those retro analog feels. A key functioning as a music box, the user need only wind it to begin playing music on their smartphone. Here, the sound works directly in tandem with the movement of the spring, producing a distinctive flutter that is full of depth and texture for a more intimate interaction.

MusicLight is a candle that interacts with your smartphone. When lit, the music begins to play, as the sound itself changes gently with the flickering of the flame. The music even fades when the candle goes out. This accessory is all about creating a mood that works with the music, “Like listening to a song around a bonfire, the flame flickers in unison with the sound, creating a rich atmosphere,” says Yamaha.

Finally, the RhythmBot is a futuristic metronome that’s meant to accompany performers while they’re playing. But unlike its predecessor, the RhythmBot consists of four small bots that each play their own distinct percussive instrument. Able to sync with your phone, the bots are highly intuitive and can tune themselves to the players’ tempo. They can even accompany you as you play; the Garfunkel to your Simon, if you will.

Most recently, the big-box brand teamed up with author, actress, chef, and all-around social media darling Tabitha Brown. Set to drop June 11th, Brown’s first collection will hit the shelves with over 70 pieces of clothing and accessories. Subsequent collections will make their way into stores in the coming year, with a total of three more that feature not only apparel, but lifestyle items that include everything from entertaining and kitchenware to home and office furnishings.

The inaugural collection, dubbed Tabitha Brown for Target, will focus on bright prints and happy-go-lucky patterns that are just perfect for summer. As vibrant, creative, and bold as Brown herself, the collection was also designed with affordability in mind, and many of the pieces are available for around $30 or less. As Brown said in a recent interview with Today, “I wanted everybody to be able to afford the collection. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to look good.”

The inspo behind the collection has a lot to do with Brown’s impeccable taste, and her desire to make women feel comfortable in their own skin. Expect lots of breathable materials and comfy extras like pockets. As Tabatha herself says, “if you’re not comfortable, it takes away your confidence.”

Through her use of mixed prints and patterns, Brown wanted to create apparel that’s fun to wear, with feel-good fabrics that are cheerful and bright. She says, “This summer, people are finally getting out of their homes again [and] what better way to begin summer 2022 than with fun colors?”

For their part, Target is thrilled to have the talented Tabitha on board. Jill Sando, Target’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Merchandising Officer, recently spoke of the collection’s goal to bring “joy” to shoppers, adding: “Tabitha Brown is known for being a beacon of positivity, making her the perfect partner to help Target continue providing inspirational, inclusive, and affordable style for all.”

Tabitha Brown wears many hats: author, actress, chef, and TikTok superstar, to name a few. In just a couple of days, she’ll add yet another title to her impressive resume: clothing designer and Target collaborator. With a total of four collections slated to drop this year, Brown’s first includes apparel and accessories that hit all the right notes with their budget-friendly price tags, positive messages, and bright, bold patterns perfect for summer fun.

Of course, it’s not always easy to find the perfect combo of eco-conscious attire and trendy style. Lucky for us all, there are many in the industry who have made a commitment to a greener, more fashion-forward future. That’s where the Sak comes in.

Brands like The Sak have proven themselves quite willing to implement more eco-friendly methods. A B Corp Certified company that’s high on both style and quality craftsmanship, this super stylish brand has also made a commitment to switch to only 100-percent sustainable materials by 2024, further cementing their aim to create a positive impact on both the global economy and the planet.

It only takes one look at the brand’s spring bag collection to see that there are no unattractive burlap sacks here (though burlap is both biodegradable and a sustainable natural product, it’s also not the most attractive fabric out there). Instead, these super cute spring offerings from The Sak are both stylish and sustainably sourced: a winning combo in the fashion world and a refreshing find to earth-conscious shoppers everywhere.

Below are some of the brand’s sassiest satchels that are sure to make a splash in closets everywhere this spring and summer:

Vita Wristlet ($49.00)

Sometimes a little goes a long way, and this is certainly true of this trendy minimalist wristlet. Even better, this mini-cutie is practically customizable, with plenty of available color options. It also comes in both hand crocheted and natural leather styles, too.

Sustainability Report Card: Hand crocheted exterior, long lasting, PETA approved, and vegan certified, with a lining and exterior made from recycled plastic bottles spun into yarn.

Fast fashion is slowly but surely starting to take a back seat to more sustainable finds — and with its hip new spring collection, brands like The Sak are leading the way in both style and sustainability with accessories that would make Mother Earth proud.

It’s no surprise that their latest collaboration with the Black Artists + Designers Guild (BADG) is is a must-have collection filled with statement pieces that up the ante with thoughtful designs. A group passionate about celebrating the work of Black creatives from every design sphere, one of BADG’s main goals is to celebrate Black voices through creativity and the larger themes of unity, diversity, and inclusion within all communities. Through their second collaboration with Pottery Barn (see last year’s virtual show house Obsidian Experience), they hope to bring that message to a larger audience.

Announced in February to coincide with Black History Month, the collection consists of more than 25 products spanning everything from dinnerware to bedding. With contributions from BADG members Penny Francis, Casi St. Julian, and Lisa Turner, the pieces were designed around the concept of “Black Joy” and incorporate some of BADG’s most important messages: unity through inclusion and equity, triumph over tribulations, a celebration of family and love, and establishing harmony as a connected community.

In a recent statement, BADG founder Malene Barnett discussed the collection’s inspiration, stating: “For us, ‘Black Joy’ is possibility and empowerment, a celebratory theme that is woven into our collection [and] this partnership with Pottery Barn builds on our message to honor ancestral legacies while embracing liberatory practices.”

Shoppers everywhere can show their support for Black creatives by shopping the Black Artists + Designer’s Guild x Pottery Barn collection now available on PotteryBarn.com, with budget-friendly, statement-making pieces that “find the joy and spread the love.” Below are just a few of the collection’s must-have pieces:

A family affair, Sherle Wagner International is now overseen by the third generation of Wagners including Sherle’s granddaughter Marissa Geoffrey, who serves as Creative Director. But what’s made these designs so enduring? What’s caused them to transcend time and continue to be coveted by those who wish to create the ultimate in bathroom luxury?

History, tradition, and of course, quality.

Starting with a “dedication to timelessness and creating covetable elements for the bath,” according to a recent piece from Interior Design, the brand has continued to produce iconic fixtures whose craftsmanship and durability are only matched by their long-standing devotion to luxe materials and design concepts.

One only needs to look at the company’s very first offering to see why the Sherle Wagner International name has endured: the 24-karat-gold Dolphin Lever Faucet Set. Still available today, the set is an iconic reminder of the brand’s devotion to luxury. Curvy, intricate, and extravagant, it’s striking enough to be the centerpiece of any bathroom.

The Molecule Knob is another enduring classic. Designed by Sherle Wagner himself in the mid-20th century, it’s modern, classic, and timeless look is still coveted today by those looking to add midcentury flair to their space with a dash of glamorous subtlety.

All of Sherle Wagner International’s fixtures are handmade and hand-finished, with an attention to detail that shines through in the finished products. The process is rigorous from start to finish, “as a team of metalworkers, ceramicists, painters, and other artisans combine old-world techniques with today’s cutting-edge technologies,” according to Interior Design. And this attention to detail extends even beyond the creative process. The company operates from a 19th-century manufacturing facility in Massachusetts, cementing its reputation as a classically modern manufacturer of high-end, American-made products for almost a century.

It’s this devotion to both history and craftsmanship that’s made the brand as desirable as ever when it comes to contemporary bathroom design. Today, both residential and hospitality designers turn to Sherle Wagner International for their customizable artistic designs. The company prides itself on its “practically limitless custom capabilities” that enable their clients to choose from a vast number of options, from hand-painted detailed design to semi-precious stones and accents like ceramic glaze that complete the overall luxe looks.

Timeless design, American-made quality, and exquisite attention to detail combine with an enduring family legacy to create Sherle Wagner International’s distinctive bath hardware and accessories. Sought by designers everywhere for their classic, old-world devotion to craftsmanship and iconic modern designs, the company’s luxurious fixtures will no doubt continue to catch our eye and spark our imaginations for years to come.

The post Shop the Best of Amazon’s Black Friday Clothing Deals first appeared on Dornob.

If there are specific items you’re dying to get your hands on, take advantage of early Black Friday gaming sales at major retailers, and set reminders for the official sales coming soon. Here are some of the items you can snag at a great discount now, and details on the kinds of deals you can expect to see during Black Friday weekend.

Walmart (November 22nd Online, 26th in Stores):

Get access to Walmart’s online Black Friday deals four hours earlier than everyone else by signing up for a Walmart Plus membership. They’re also previewing over 200 early access deals you’re going to want to bookmark.

Amazon (November 25th to 26th)

Amazon’s Early Black Friday deals are on now, and they’re chock-full of cool gaming accessories. But the real deals aren’t going live until the 25th, with games and consoles likely to be available in very limited quantities with high early sell-out potential.

Best Buy (November 19th)

Best Buy’s early Black Friday sale also includes video game accessories like controllers and headphones, but the best deals will be available starting Friday, November 19th (likely to run through Cyber Monday, but again, expect high-demand items to sell out almost immediately).

Target (November 21st to 27th)

Target’s Black Friday ad lists all kinds of great stuff, with games starting at just $29.99 (though Switch deals will be best at Walmart). Additional deals will be added online on Thanksgiving Day, when stores will be closed. Check out the weekly ad for a sneak peek.

Must-Have Items for Your Black Friday Wishlist

Xbox Series X

This restock of the much-coveted Xbox Series X console will start at 12pm on Black Friday, and will be limited to Walmart Plus members. Amazon and Best Buy have yet to reveal special offers or restocks on the console, which is in limited supply due to the computer chip shortage, so Walmart may be your best bet.

Be warned that if you sign up for a free trial to gain access to Walmart Plus, you might be excluded from the deal. For a fighting chance, be prepared to have multiple browsers open and ready to purchase at noon sharp, with your account already set up and signed in.

Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Grab the Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Con and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Game for just $299 at Walmart (online and in stores) and Best Buy.

Sony Playstation 5

Also available with Walmart Plus membership at 12pm on Black Friday will be the Sony Playstation 5 console for $499, which features ultra-high speed SSD for fast load times, 4K-TV gaming, and a DualSense wireless controller with a built-in microphone and haptic feedback. PS: Walmart and Target’s Black Friday ads reveal that one year of PS Plus will be $20 off. Currently, no other retailers have announced planned restocks of the console, but surprise drops have occurred at Best Buy over the last couple weeks (and sold out within seven minutes), so keep an eye out.

Games and Controllers

At Walmart, Xbox controllers will be available in a wide array of colors for $59, and game deals will include Super Mario Bros U: Deluxe, UFC 3, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Assassins Creed Valhalla, and more for $35. The same popular games are expected to sell for $39.99 at Target and Amazon, and you can find a selection of cheaper games with a buy two, get one free deal at GameStop.

As it turns out, Homer isn’t an album – it’s a luxury brand with a debut collection focused on jewelry. 25 high-end pieces are now for sale at a brick and mortar store in New York City, located at 70-74 Bowery, New York, which is open by appointment only. They include printed silk scarves, diamond bracelets, cartoonish enamel pendants, and gold rings sculpted into the word “A-OK,” all designed in New York and handmade in Italy, with diamonds grown in the brand’s own American laboratory to avoid the ethical tangle associated with diamond mining in Africa.

The pieces range from accessible ($435 for the pins) to astronomical ($1.9 million for a diamond-encrusted one of a kind necklace). Ocean says he didn’t want a single piece in his collection to be priced lower than Cartier, firmly establishing its value as a luxury release. If you’re dying to make a purchase but are nowhere near New York, global orders with complimentary shipping can be made by calling or messaging the store — assuming there’s a restock at some point, since all items in the collection have already sold out.

Homer takes its name from the Greek poet, and as Ocean explains, “Homer is considered the father of history and history is meant to endure — the same as diamonds and gold. I know Homer used papyrus, but I’ve always liked the idea of carving history into stone.” A press release describes the collection as inspired by “childhood obsessions” and “heritage as a fantasy.”

The Homer collection announcement was accompanied by an 84-page catalog with a cover designed and photographed by Ocean himself. Campaign imagery by collaborator Tyrone Lebon gives us a look at individual pieces featuring anime-like characters and colorful video game references, as well as the seafoam anorak Ocean wore at the 2019 Met Gala, possibly teasing an upcoming Prada/Homer collaboration. Model Selena Forrest wears the $1.9 million white gold and diamond necklace on the cover.

Ocean’s fans have been eagerly anticipating new music since rumors of a secretive endeavor first began circulating in 2019. That’s when Ocean established the LLC Home Record, which now appears to be related to Homer. Some will inevitably be disappointed that the release has nothing to do with music, as is often the case lately with artists like Rihanna, Kanye West, and Lady Gaga, who have branched out to ventures involving fashion and cosmetics. But Ocean’s own foray into fashion doesn’t necessarily preclude the release of more music in 2021 or perhaps 2022. We can only hope.

That’s right, Society6 has not one, not two, but five curated 2021 Back to School Must-Have Collections to choose from: bedding kits, posters, tapestries, on-the-go essentials, and tech accessories. Whether you’re off to college or eagerly awaiting the first day of high school, you’ll find everything you need to put the finishing touches on your living space, gussy up your locker, and strut through the hallways in style. Available items include sheets, blankets, pillow cases, shower curtains, art prints, phone cases, laptop sleeves, Apple Watch bands, travel mugs, stickers, notebooks, and apparel.

Society6 also identified four major back-to-school decor trends for this upcoming semester. They include warped and checked prints, “blending the groovy patterns of the 60s and 70s with soothing color palettes”; playful and organic themes featuring bright colors and designs inspired by nature; retro 60s flair “for the flower child in us all”; and “neon dreams,” a vaguely surreal Los Angeles-inspired style. Among the coolest stuff we spotted are a “groovy garden in blue” duvet cover, a fun Rodeo Drive poster featuring upside-down cars in a pastel sky, a Keith Haring laptop sleeve, and all kinds of cute terrazzo print backpacks.

If you’re not sure where to start or could use some help figuring out how to blend your own style with your roommate’s, the retailer offers a guide to decorating with roommates that’s full of helpful advice. For instance, you’re going to want to make your desk a warm and inviting place where you can focus, so adding some small art prints with inspirational quotes or inspiring views could be a big help. Add personality to big walls with posters just by tacking them up with putty or pins, but try not to hog all the space. And if you end up with a roomie whose style clashes with yours, embrace it. It’ll just make your stuff stand out even more.

Don’t forget the all-important study nook. The guide explains that “since studying is a pivotal part of the college experience, it’s helpful to create a space that comforts and inspires you. Start with a plush throw — crafted from our super-soft signature Sherpa fleece! Perhaps you want a geometric floral design, colorful checkered squares, or a simple abstract design. Then, add an abundance of rectangular and throw pillows that complement the design/color of your throw blanket. As an added bonus, tie in your study nook together with a rug that fits the energy of the room.”

Did we mention that all Society6 designs are submitted by the artists themselves? Not only do you get access to virtually any style you can think of, but your purchase directly supports independent artists. And if you somehow don’t find exactly what you’re looking for after browsing the site, you can always become a Society6 designer yourself! It’s super easy to upload your own designs and end up with stuff that’s completely and totally you.
