Have you ever arrived at the cash register at the end of a shopping trip with a fabulous item that you admit you can’t leave the store without but makes you wonder, “wait, where did I pick this up?”

Endcap.

Guaranteed. These stinkers are designed to surprise, delight, and snatch your dough, with items like mugs, candles, or beach towels that are novel or giftable. The items on this page were all created for a 2022 holiday gifting endcap, the trend being ‘bright’. Only a handful of the patterns made it to product, but I liked this collection because it was so different from the other work I was doing. It is true what they say, variety is the spice of life.
