It’s arguably the most “American” day of the year. Each July 4 we celebrate the adoption of the independence and America’s birthday. Translation: we see how many times we can utter the word ‘Merica before it becomes socially unacceptable.

We rightfully celebrate this holiday, not to mention the day off of work, by sitting poolside, barbecuing, shooting off fireworks and donning anything red, white, and blue. Pause: You don’t have the materials listed to properly celebrate America’s independence. Look no further than our essential Fourth of July gift list to bring in and go out with a bang.

American Flag Bandana- $15

For the person that isn’t quite ready to deck themselves out completely in red, white, and blue, you can still show your festive side with this subtle bandana. Not to mention you can patriotically wave it around later in the night as the fireworks go off. #Merica.
