Cosmopolitan’s 2020 Holiday & Winter Merch Collection: The Ultimate Gift Guide

The holiday season should be about joy, laughter, and togetherness. But let’s be real—the pressure to find fun, meaningful, and Insta-worthy gifts for your crew can turn even the most enthusiastic shopper into a Grinch. Enter the Cosmopolitan Holiday & Winter 2020 Merch Collection—a showcase of quirky, cozy, and outrageously clever presents that are more than just gifts; they are conversation starters, mood boosters, and low-key life savers for anyone on your list.

Why Holiday Shopping Is Both a Blessing and a Stressing

On paper, holiday shopping sounds inviting:

  • The thrill of picking out unique gifts for friends and family.
  • Secretly trying to outdo everyone else as the most creative gifter.
  • The look on your loved one’s face as they unwrap something epic.

But in reality, holiday shopping often morphs into a chaotic late-night browser marathon, with tabs multiplying faster than your to-do lists and decision fatigue hitting harder than caffeine crashes. Recognizing this, Cosmopolitan set out to make gifting not just easier—but way, way more fun.

Cosmopolitan’s Holiday Merch Drops: Curated for Every Mood

This year, Cosmopolitan went big—launching a dedicated holiday/winter merch drop packed with brand-new exclusives and delightful upgrades to their classic lines. Every piece is designed for gifting (or, let’s be honest, self-gifting) across all personality types—from the astro-obsessed BFF to the dog parent, from the holiday meme lover to that one family member who ‘got really into wine this year.’

Festive Pet Accessories

  • Reindeer Pet Bandana: Perfect for the pet parent in your life whose holiday card isn’t complete without a costumed critter. The reindeer motif brings every holiday snap to life.
  • Grinch Vibes Pet Bandana: For the furry friend who isn’t a morning person (or pet), the Grinch Vibes design is equal parts hilarious and adorable.

Statement Holiday Apparel

  • Grinch Vibes Sweatshirt: Snuggly, sarcastic, and so very on-brand for anyone whose holiday spirit needs a caffeine boost. Great for Zoom parties—or just surviving the family group chat.
  • “Yes, Aunt _____, I’m Still Single” T-Shirt: The ultimate icebreaker shirt for that inevitable family inquiry. Comfortably soft and instantly relatable.
  • Eggnog Is Evil T-Shirt: Finally, a tee for the person who bravely admits what everyone else is thinking at the holiday drinks table.
  • Team Love Actually Is Good, Actually / Team Love Actually Is Bad, Actually T-Shirts: Pick a side in the annual ‘Is Love Actually A Good Christmas Movie?’ debate. Both are limited-edition and guarantee spirited conversation.

Greeting Cards: Sass, Sarcasm, and Relatability

Cards can be a little boring—or they can be the highlight of the gift pile. Cosmopolitan’s new sets are unapologetically fun, designed for virtual and real-life celebrations alike:

  • Better-Than-Another-Seasons-Greetings Card Packs (One, Two, Three): Each $3 pack features witty illustrations and lines so sharp, your giftee will keep these on display long past the holidays.
  • F*CK OFF 2020 Greeting Card: A cathartic, no-nonsense sendoff to a year that truly needs no introduction. Send one to literally everyone you know.

Practical Presents That Are Secretly Brilliant

  • Now Accepting Applications for Cuffing Season Phone Case: This phone case combines subtle humor and bold energy. Come for the cheeky tagline, stay for the protective shell.
  • The Astro 2021 Calendar: A must for anyone planning their year by moon phases, Mercury retrogrades, or just likes to have pretty things on their wall.
  • Cleaning Up 2020’s Messes Dish Towel: An essential for culinary clean-ups—with a wink to the ruthlessly messy vibes of the past year.
  • Seasons Bagels Christmas Tree Skirt: Instant upgrade for anyone who lives for bagels—and who wants their tree to reflect their bagel obsession.

Cosmo’s Cozy Essentials: Back in Stock and Better Than Ever

What’s a winter gift guide without a dose of comfort? Alongside new drops, the Cosmo Shop revived and expanded their ‘OG’ cozy collection—including bestsellers and fresh finds for cold-weather lounging and sipping:

Cozy Tees, Tumblers & Home Goods

  • This Is A Breakfast Wine Wine Tumbler: Redefine breakfast with this clever travel tumbler. May increase accidental mimosa consumption.
  • Uncorked by Cosmo Wine Tumblers: Four new sayings:
    • Cheaper than a Flight to Paris
    • Red Wine is Technically Health Food
    • Cheers to Pour Decisions
    • That’s Enough Todaying for Today

    All double-walled, all gifting gold.

  • I’m Not Lazy I’m Hibernating Duvet Cover: For the friend whose winter plans involve nightly Netflix and not leaving their bed until spring.
