{"id":2107,"title":"Gift Guide for Followers of Current Affairs, Optimists & Pessimists","description":"People in your life interested in current affairs or campaigning? We have lots of lovely gift ideas for them ...","content":"

Many of us are taking interest in the unfolding political drama that dominates the news, day in day out. Many are getting involved in campaigning for what they believe is right. And the nation seems split in terms of optimists and pessimists - as well as in every other way (says a pessimist).<\/p>

Know anyone like this? If so, here are some ideas. And remember, all Goathouse products are certified organic cotton, sustainably sourced and ethically made.<\/p>

For the politics-obsessed<\/strong><\/h3>

We have just the gift for someone who\u2019s entranced with the plotting and counter-plotting of the current UK political debate. Our Brexit inspired designs are suitable for 'leavers' or 'remainers' or even other people (who do still exist but you might not know that from the news).<\/p>

Look at our Take Back Controll<\/strong> t-shirts for example (unisex<\/a> and women\u2019s<\/a>), featuring a rather fetching looking pink-haired figure who will be familiar to those around in the 1970s & 80s.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Our Brexiternity<\/a><\/strong> unisex t-shirt<\/a> is a pastiche of the From Here to Eternity film poster - great if you know a film lover who has passions about current affairs.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The Tug of War<\/a><\/strong> unisex t-shirt<\/a> illustrates how Brexit is uniting the UK in frustration - who would disagree?<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

And if you know someone who has been pulling their hair out since 2016 when things began to go a bit strange, why not consider our 2016 t-shirts which feature the face of a Woman<\/a> or Man<\/a> as the years progress - each available on a unisex t-shirt.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

You know that feeling when you wake up and think 'Phew! Glad that's not me'? Well, here's one to cheer someone up - our David Cameron unisex t-shirt<\/a>...<\/p>

Then we have designs inspired by famous Brexit phrases - Breakfast Means Breakfast<\/a><\/strong> (unisex t-shirt)<\/a>, I Have Been Very Clear <\/a><\/strong>(unisex t-shirt)<\/a>, Nothing is Agreed Until Everything is Agreed <\/a><\/strong>(unisex t-shirt)<\/a>, Dhal or No Dhal<\/a><\/strong> (unisex t-shirt)<\/a>, and Pedalling Optimism <\/a><\/strong>(unisex t-shirt)<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>

Perhaps this design sums things up at the moment - meet our Mad World unisex t-shirt<\/a>.<\/p>

For the campaigner<\/strong><\/h3>

If you\u2019re looking to buy a gift for an activist, you may be struggling to find something that will fit with their world view. Buying a sustainably produced t-shirt which has an ethical supply chain is a good start of course. Our I Am Who I Am<\/strong> t-shirt (unisex<\/a>, women\u2019s<\/a>, kids, tote bag<\/a>) or Paint the Whole World with a Rainbow<\/a><\/strong>) might suit someone fighting for race, gender or other equality.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Someone who cares about people may appreciate our For the Many <\/strong>unisex<\/a> t-shirt, and if you know a friend who has been on marches this year, how about our Will of the People<\/a><\/strong> unisex t-shirt<\/a>?\"\"<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

For the optimist\/pessimist<\/strong><\/h3>

Do you recognise a friend as one of Boris Johnson\u2019s \u2018Gloomsters\u2019? If so, there\u2019s a t-shirt for them (unisex<\/a> and women<\/a>).<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Or if a Confucius quote is more their thing, how about our Think of Tomorrow unisex t-shirt<\/a>, available on a white or black shirt.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Someone you know feeling frazzled? Obsessed with to do lists? How about this Close to Sorting It unisex t-shirt<\/a>?<\/p>
