It's been one hell of a year... but if one thing is for sure, it's that there’s never been a better time to look out for one another and give back to those who need it most.  We know that sometimes it can be hard to make a meaningful impact on your own — which is why we love to get around the brands that help to make big things happen. Buying from ethically conscious brands, putting dollars back into community initiatives, and consciously ditching products that aren't made on our shores—it’s the easiest way to spread joy, help, and happiness to those who need it most right now.

Nothing brightens up a workday or sharpens up an outfit more than a great pair of socks. Enter Frederick Harold. 

When gifted, the humble sock gets a bad wrap. It’s a stigma that’s (probably) been around as long as the art of gift-giving itself, but why? A sock is practical, warm, beneficial to foot health—and it’s also not an item one enjoys spending their cash on. To help wean giver and receiver off this taboo is wine subscription service Good Pair Days, who’s partnered with fine sock purveyors MANRAGS to bring your old man the ultimate drop and sock pack this Dad’s Day.

If you’re out and about in any major city, it’s likely you’ve been bailed up on the corner by an overly-enthusiastic backpacker in a brightly coloured t-shirt wanting “just a minute” of your time to talk about donating to one charity or another.

What’s on RiRi’s wrist?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and while you’re out enjoying the festivities and saying awkward things to your boss at the Christmas party, your best friend is at home waiting for you, hoping that you’ll be home soon.

In between stocking up on soaps for your nan and jocks and socks for dad, your poor floof—the very being that brings you joy and happiness 365 days a year—gets a quick pat, the turkey leftovers and a bowl of kibble. And that’s just not on, frankly.

LBH, Christmas shopping for guys is hard. 

Guys shut the front door! Just when you thought you could never be more reliant on your smartphone, someone goes an invents a phone cover that will brew you a cup of coffee. No, we're not joking.
