Buy yourself a fancy stocking before Christmas
•••
Land’s End has the customizable, needlepoint, velvet-backed stocking you’ve been looking for. Hang it on your bedpost or your banister or your doorknob. Purely decorative, or fill it with a set of nice pencils and a tangerine in December. Order it this month and cross it off your to-do list for life! eBay has perfect vintage ones too.

American Tall
•••
This is for the serious inseam girlies — they have 34” and 36” inseams. I have some good joggers, linen pants, and a pair of terra cotta chinos I had tailored for a more contemporary silhouette.

National Park Monsters calendar
$25
•••
My true recommendation is the Pittsburgh monsters calendar they made a few years ago (Yinzilla!), but it looks like Alternate Histories' 2027 calendar is all about the National Parks. Beautiful art, a few good jokes about made-up holidays, and plenty of space for real activities and family dates to know. Amusing for all ages!

Tru Tone String Lights

They look like the Christmas lights at my Italian great aunt's house in 1996, but they will not spontaneously combust.

Glerups! They keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. I wear mine every single day for about 4 years before they wear out.

Bar Americano
•••
There is edible food on the Mall now. Send your tourists! Alert your museum-loving neighbors! The people who brought you Sonny's Pizza in Park View will sell you a nice egg sandwich, a fancy pastry, a coffee drink, and NATURAL WINE between Air&Space and the Hirshhorn. Previously, you were doomed to cart hot dog or kiosk ice pop that costs $25. No more!

Sherwin Williams White Flour
•••
What if your warm white was actually very very very light brown? It’s a stellar white for the challenge of spaces with multi-directional sun exposure. My row house runs east-west, and I needed something that does well in both early morning and late afternoon bright sun. Goes with everything.

Paper subscription to The Onion

$99 for the year. Everyone, of all ages and demographics, who sees it on your kitchen table will pick it up and giggle. Truly miraculous that they haven’t been sued for the in-print ads yet.
