Stretched out or shrunken sweaters get a new purpose as a cozy way to wrap up a bottle of wine, which is always a great gift idea!

Bring a bit of earnest irony to a pair of gloves with this hilariously tender riff on tough knuckle tattoos. Borrow our intentionally sweet phrases above, or come up with your own eight-letter expressions. We chose wool-blend gloves, but any knit version will work.
