Every now and then I like to feature a great charity from across the pond, and Papworth Trust in the UK is one of them. They offer support and care to those in greatest need, including the disabled, the elderly and their families and caregivers. Their goal is to help people of all ages like independently in their own homes and to find and hold jobs so they can support themselves. More about the charity at www.papworthtrust.org.uk.
They launched a Shopify site called Can Clothing where they sell products that go to help their charitable efforts. What I love about these clothes is that they're not just some generic promotional product imprinted with the organization's logo, but they're actually really fun clothes you want to wear and to dress your family in. Most of the clothes are related to cooking or gardening, and all of them appropriately enough come in a can that you can reuse.
Some of the humor (or should I say humour) is decidedly British. Here are some of the more popular choices:

In this case, "Soggy Bottom" is a reference to a British term used to describe the phenomenon when baking pies of the bottom of the crust being too moist.
The I'm Ganaching My Buns apron.
And the motto of gentleman gardeners everywhere: that weeds are just plants in the wrong place.
Surf around their online catalog and chances are you'll find something you love.
