MERYL TAROT: DIVINATION WITH HOLLYWOOD’S HIGH PRIESTESS Illustrated by Chantel De Sousa – $29.99
Who would you trust more with your future than the high priestess herself, Meryl Streep? Printed on high-quality card material, and packaged in a handy un-bendable box, this tarot deck celebrates the legacy of Meryl Streep. With more credits to her name than cards in tarot, and 21 Academy Awards to boot, she’s a guiding beacon for us all to follow when times are unclear. This deck is based on the structure of the classic Rider-Waite, with each card featuring a character from her career’s many highlights. And hey: if your future, as ordained by these cards, ain’t looking so bright – just turn on one of your favorite movies she’s been in and lose yourself in her RAW talent. Meryl, we’re not worthy. Australian artist Chantel de Sousa illustrated this tarot deck tribute to Meryl. She’s previously illustrated a number of pop culture decks for Smith Street Gift.
THE WEST WING PLAYING CARDS Illustrated by Chantel De Sousa – $19.99
Walk and talk with your favorite characters from The West Wing, illustrated on this deck of cards.

Now it’s time to bring the White House to your game nights, with these playing cards. Printed on high-quality card material, this deck is a standard poker set with four classic suits. Each celebrates our favorite West Wing characters. Josh Lyman and Donna Moss are spades; CJ Cregg and Toby Ziegler represent clubs; Leo McGarry and Charlie Young take diamonds; and the Bartlets are hearts because, well, we just love to love them.

80s ICONS 5OO– $29.99
500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle Illustrated by Niki Fisher – Any millennial will say that the 90s were the best decade, but what do they even know? In the 80s, the Brat Pack was in every movie, and we could work out with Richard Simmons. Madonna and Boy George were fresh on the scene, and it was possible to waste our whole day with Atari or acid washing all of our denim. Our hair was bigger, our legs were warmer, and Matthew Broderick was busy making us swoon in cinemas. For anyone without access to a DeLorean, this is one of the best ways back to a better era.
