Items include: a navy raglan long-sleeve shirt, a Rory running ornament, a red Aurora tee, a Rory hooded sweatshirt with sunglasses graphic, a navy crest trucker hat, and a 15-inch Rory squishie pillow. Each product has a short, playful caption as if Rory is recommending it. The overall design has a bright, fun, gift-guide feel.
We’re one week from Black Friday, and Rory couldn’t wait.
Her curated picks are here — and yes, she proudly approves this message. 🤩
