3. Merry Grinchmas vest

This funny vest is your ticket if you would rather skip the Christmas pudding and just sass your way through the season. We like its delightfully grumpy red and green colours and "celebratory but cranky" vibes. It’s practically a hug from the Grinch himself. Wear it to holiday parties, Christmas dinner, or just while glaring at the neighbour’s light display.
