Great bag for my meds!
It's silly, but I had to get a bunch of prescriptions, and it was fun to get this bag to keep them all in. It would be equally useful as a pencil case, tech pouch, etc. Cool design and well-made.

Obviously, the coolest tote bag ever
This is literally the coolest tote bag ever. Not only is the purple and green color scheme perfect, but it's also a reversable bag! And I got the matching journal, too. Now I just need to get the matching bandana for my dog!

Great design, great quality love it!
Texture is great, exactly what I ordered and more, 10/10 would buy again
Just perfect!
A gorgeous notebook. The endpapers are even more stunning in person, and the paper quality and grammature are excellent, making it a pleasure to write in this notebook. I highly recommend (and hope an archaeology one is released soon!).
Beautifully made t-shirt
This is a beautifully made t- shirt with graphic detail and color.

My Favorite Series
The Hypothesis series is my favorite. Great form factor, hard cover, and dot grid!
I love that it fits every cup size!
Cute!
Perfect Christmas gift for my younger sister! I got these items to go along with the equations that changed the world cup! I know she’ll love it!
It really is a golden ratio
My son used to have a cool Pi shirt and I wanted to get him a new one for Christmas. This shirt is so nice. I couldn't tell from the picture that the numbers are a metallic gold. Really cool.
