PARKS Board Game
From the creators of Campy Creatures, Caper, Space Park, and Control comes PARKS! PARKS is a celebration of our National Parks created in partnership with the Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series. In PARKS, players will take on the role of two hikers as they trek different trails across four seasons. While on the trail, these hikers will take actions and collect memories of the places your hikers visit. These memories are represented by various resource tokens like mountains, forests, and wildlife. Collecting these memories in sets will allow players to trade them in to visit a National Park at the end of each hike. Each trail represents one season of the year, and each season, the trails will change and grow steadily longer. The trails, represented by tiles, get shuffled in between each season and laid out anew for the next round. Resources can be tough to come by especially when someone is at the place you’re trying to reach! Campfires allow you to share a space and time with other hikers. Canteens and Gear can also be used to improve your access to resources through the game. Welcome to PARKS!

Or, try the lot with the mixed set (which comes with eight Sea Salt, eight Oat Milk, seven 100% Cocoa, and seven Coconut Milk). Made in Brooklyn, NY.

Marimekko Vihannesmaa Apron
The cotton apron has one front pocket, an adjustable neck strap and bands at the waist that can be tied together at the back. Tarhuri (gardener) is a tribute to the creations of Mother Nature, all the beautiful fruits and vegetables and colors shifting from sun-baked hues to the sharper tones that develop in shade. It celebrates the wonder of something as marvelous as an apple tree or a watermelon growing from a tiny little seed. The pattern also reflects the joy of growing your own food, how your own small strawberries always taste best. Vihannesmaa (vegetable garden) is a smallerscale version of Tarhuri.

Everything She Touched: The Life of Ruth Asawa
Everything She Touched recounts the incredible life of the American sculptor Ruth Asawa. This is the story of a woman who wielded imagination and hope in the face of intolerance and who transformed everything she touched into art. In this compelling biography, author Marilyn Chase brings Asawa's story to vivid life. She draws on Asawa's extensive archives and weaves together many voices—family, friends, teachers, and critics—to offer a complex and fascinating portrait of the artist. Born in California in 1926, Ruth Asawa grew from a farmer's daughter to a celebrated sculptor. She survived adolescence in the World War II Japanese-American internment camps and attended the groundbreaking art school at Black Mountain College. Asawa then went on to develop her signature hanging-wire sculptures, create iconic urban installations, revolutionize arts education in her adopted hometown of San Francisco, fight through lupus, and defy convention to nurture a multiracial family.
Kasama Small Batch Rum
Kasama, named after the Filipino term for "together," pays homage to founder Alexandra Dorda’s Filipino-Polish heritage with a rum that defies the category. Kasama is produced and distilled in the heart of the Philippines, blended, bottled, and packaged in Poland, and enjoyed in the United States. The brand envelops a sunny spirit inside and out—the convivial bottle holds a golden rum that’s aged 7 years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels with dominant notes of sweet pineapple, a hint of vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt. Leaving behind the typical tropes associated with old-school rum brands like sailors, pirates, and heavily spiced flavor profiles - Kasama brings a refreshing approach in both branding and palate to a category in need of a breath of fresh air.
Gefu Hot & Cold Milk Frother
Foam sweet foam. Coffee lovers and self-proclaimed baristas, rejoice—this handy tool lets you create creamy froth for your favorite pick-me-up at the touch of a button. Just add hot or cold milk to the (microwave-safe!) glass container up to the fill line, set the lid on top, and use the pump to let the innovative spinning mechanism do all the work for you. The end result: 9.5 fluid ounces of fluffy goodness. There’s even an anti-slip silicone base, plus a sieve at the pour spout to separate the bubbly foam from the liquid milk. Oh—and it’s all dishwasher friendly. Now, who’s ready for some latte art?
Caudalie Instant Detox Mask
Enraptured by the beauty of the vineyards of Bordeaux, Mathilde and Bertrand Thomas created a line of spa-quality skincare that harnesses the anti-aging, therapeutic properties of French grapes and vines.

Oui the People Big Mood Bath Soak
BIG MOOD. The bath soak with benefits. Looking to take the edge off after a long day (or, let’s be honest, year)? We’ve got you covered (literally) with a bath booster that ups the relaxing effects of a warm soak using a detoxifying mix of magnesium, potassium, and calcium to send any tension down the drain.

And how ‘bout that easy-carry handle?
