One of our go-to T-shirt brands is here to help. Hiro Clark—the Los Angeles-based brand which we've long said makes excellent tees—just introduced a new style for a good cause. Taking the 20-second hand washing meme that's been circulating, they filled in the lyrics to California Dreamin' (a great choice, BTW) and even include a bar of soap to get you started. What's more, 50% of all proceeds will benefit No Kid Hungry, a charity that is helping keep kids fed and healthy during quarantine.

These aren't sweatpants—they're better. Made from a wool-lyocell double-face jersey, Aether's track pant makes for a comfortable kick-around staple. With sharp tailoring and stretch-nylon side stripes though, these pants are elevated just enough so you don't feel like you're slacking away in sweats.

A good notebook always comes in handy. Are you journaling during this strange time we find ourselves in? Maybe you simply want a nice notebook to keep near your bed or sofa for the times when inspiration strikes. Either way, Shinola makes some really handsome options that can be customized to suit your preferences. You choose the cover color, type of paper and they'll even monogram it for free.

This is an easy way to have fresh herbs always on hand. We first noticed this sleek planter in Chrissy Teigen's kitchen. Turns out, its the first home gardening system using NASA-inspired technology to easily grow herbs, fruits and vegetables with surprisingly consistent results. "Smart Soil" makes sure your plants get the optimal configuration of water, oxygen and nutrients, while calibrated automated watering and light ensures nothing goes wrong. It comes with basil plant pods, but you can order all sorts of seed pods, from cilantro and chives to micro greens and cherry tomatoes.
