Kern Arrows Zip-up from Veer

As promised: more timely gift ideas. Within its short lifespan, Veer’s Kern Zip-up (not to be confused as a hoodie!) has become an instant classic and a must-have fashion staple for type nerds everywhere.

The consumerist season is upon us once again. In the spirit of the season, I thought I’d post at least one gift idea. It’s sheik, it’s practical, and sure to be appreciated by any of your friends and family who may suffer from typoholism: it’s the super-snazzy typo-touk from Typotheque! These lovely, hand-made hats come in 12 colours, and can be personalized with a capital letter of your choice. Being as I have an undying hat fetish, and that I need something to keep my ears warm in the English winter weather, I already got one for myself, and I must say that I love it! Order one for yourself and for your loved ones now to have in time for the holidays.

For those of you who don’t know what what Etsy is, it is an online marketplace, whose motto is: “Buy, Sell, and Live Handmade.” Many of the items listed on the site are one of a kind, which is very cool. At the moment, I’m particularly hooked on plushy toys. Imagine my delight when i stumbled upon Monsieur Virgule (pictured above), his wife Madame Virgule, and their pup Comma-Dog. I hope one of you snaps them up before they’re gone!
