Stanley/Stella Creator 2.0 Vintage
As low as
$18
The best blank tee we’ve worn
We were immediately impressed with the fit and feel of this tee—it drapes nicely, it’s soft without pilling, and it has the vintage broken-in feel that everyone is asking for. The Creator is made with organic cotton and backed by ethical production, making this tee an easy winner for our top sustainable pick. Even our company president, who’s worn just about every tee you can think of, keeps coming back to this one.

Rhone Commuter Polo
As low as
$114
Stretchy fabric with polished style
This is the one. Stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric that feels incredible but looks sharp. The logo placement at the bottom of the button row is a nice touch that sets it apart without being loud. Breathable enough for active days but polished enough you'd wear it to dinner. If you can only pick one polo, this is it. Read Review

AS Colour Icon Cap
As low as
$16
The sweet spot of price, fit, and style
The AS Colour Icon Cap stood out to our team because it’s one of those hats that fits just about everyone well. The shape is balanced- not too high or too shallow- with a structured front that still feels easy to wear. It was a consistent favorite across the team, regardless of head shape or personal style. The retail-inspired color palette makes it easy to pair with a wide range of brands, though we do wish there were a few more options beyond the neutrals. Tonal embroidery would look best with this style to keep it understated and wearable day to day.

Fellow Carter Move Mug 16oz
As low as
$43
A little bit of everything
This one really does it all. It keeps coffee hot for hours, has a splash guard for spill free sipping, and offers interchangeable lids across sizes. We loved the ceramic lined interior, which keeps coffee tasting pure without that metallic flavor you can get from stainless steel. The perfectly contoured rim was another standout, making every sip feel just right. It’s a little bit of everything we were looking for in a coffee tumbler. I thought the splash guard was for tea, then I thought it was silly, until I used it. I was walking and sipping like I didn't have to worry about too much coffee diving straight into my face, or that weird back splash you get when you're tilting it back down.

Owala Freesip Stainless Thermal Bottle 24oz
As low as
$36
Functional and eye catching
I didn’t want to like this water bottle. I’ve had the same name brand stainless steel flip top lid for 5 years. I was convinced nothing could replace it- especially another trendy item that flooded my Instagram feed. But after giving it a shot, I have to say… it’s kind of genius. The built-in straw makes sipping easy, but when I want a bigger gulp, I can just tilt it back—no awkward lid unscrewing. It actually keeps water cold for hours, the leak-proof design holds up, and even the flip-top lid, which I thought would be clunky, is oddly satisfying to use. With 2 sizes and multiple color combinations, there’s something for everyone. I wanted to roll my eyes at the hype, but now? Owala is my new emotional support water bottle, and I’ve officially retired the other to my kids. Read Review

Marine Layer Sunset Hoodie
As low as
$86
Cloud-level comfort with a vintage vibe Cloud-level comfort with a vintage vibe
Overwhelmingly the staff favorite, this absurdly soft hoodie slid right into home for Kotis’ overall pick. The fabric is breathable and lighter weight, made from 50/50 Supima cotton and Micromodal. It layered nicely over our T-shirts and under our coats, a perfect year-round garment. We wished that there were more than 4 standard colors, but it gets bonus points for offering a women’s option and it’s made in the USA. Read Review

Custom Beanie
As low as
$9
Completely custom without sacrificing quality or budget
We tested a LOT of beanies, and we’re not bashful about our top pick being a Kotis item. The customization is next level: the whole knit in pattern can be whatever you want, along with decoration options like patches, embroidery, or a pom. It’s soft enough for all-day wear without feeling itchy, fits just about everyone we handed it to, and somehow keeps its shape. The minimum order for a fully custom beanie is 250, and the production time is about 6 weeks. But hey- all good things are worth the wait. Read Review

The North Face® Stalwart Backpack
As low as
$81
Comfortable and sleek
Hands down our favorite from the start. This comes in a few colors, but the Timber Tan and black look the sharpest. The straps are perfectly squishy, providing a comfortable carry even when you’re packing a heavy bag. The pockets and big open compartments are equal parts organizers dream, and Type B personality shove-it-in-and-go. The top portion has a generous spot for cobranding, with the North Face brand utilizing the bottom of the bag. For the price, the name brand, and the overall function of this bag, it’s truly a winner and the best bang for your ROI. We wish it had a trolly strap in the back, but otherwise, this is perfection.
