KEEP  CALM  AND  BRING  GRENADES

Keep Calm and Bring Grenades!
  • Printed on 100% preshrunk cotton chocolate Gildan shirt.
  • Inspired by the WWII British propaganda poster!
  • It never hurts to have a little extra ammo on hand, especially if you're roaming the galaxy, so roam with confidence while wearing this awesome Keep Calm and Bring Grenades Brown T-Shirt! A variation of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster first commissioned in 1939 by England's Ministry of Information, the message was intended to strengthen public morale in the event of a wartime emergency during the beginning of WWII. The message on this shirt is just slightly more proactive! Printed on a heavyweight 100% preshrunk cotton chocolate Gildan shirt, the Keep Calm and Bring Grenades Brown T-Shirt is likely to lift the spirits and quicken the pulses of everyone around you.



    "Man walks down the street in that hat,
    people know he's not afraid of anything."
    Dress like your favorite mercenary from Firefly, Jayne Cobb! This excellent Firefly Jayne Cobb's Hat Laplander Beanie features the orange and yellow beanie worn by Adam Baldwin's mercenary character Jayne Cobb from Joss Whedon's cult hit Firefly television show. Not only will this hat make you look kind of like Jayne Cobb, but it'll also keep your head and ears warm!

    CHRISTMAS  SELECTION  BOXES
    Christmas Selection Boxes from the United Kingdom are literally a selection of items presented by a particular company for sale at Christmas.  They traditionally came in special Christmas Tins, however over the last several years the tins have become fewer and the Cartons or Tubs are now easier to find and less expensive. Many people collect the tins. We try to get them whenever we can and depending on price.
     
    McVities  Classic  Chocolate  Collection  Tin
    This is a delicious selection of milk chocolate biscuits.
    And suitable for vegetarians.
    Contains:
    Fully Coated Milk Chocolate Cream Crumble, Milk Chocolate Coated Coconut Flavour Square, Fully Coated Milk Chocolate Digestive, Milk Chocolate Oat, Half Coated Milk Chocolate Digestive, Milk Chocolate Shortcake, Milk Chocolate Wheel, Milk Chocolate Coated Crunchy Biscuit Finger.
     
     
     
    McVities  Victoria  Tin
    A superb collection of richly coated milk, white and plain chocolate biscuits and creams.
    Suitable for vegetarians.
     
     
    Cadbury UK  Fingers  Assortment
    Suitable for vegetarians.
    A selection of Cadbury fingers smothered in Cadbury Dairy Milk, Bournville or Dream chocolate.
    Crisp biscuits covered with white, milk and dark chocolate.




    SUITABLE  FOR  VEGETARIANS
    The majority of food items (including chocolates and biscuits) that we import from the UK and Europe are Vegetarian Friendly.  One reason for this is that overseas the use of animal fats to spray food molds is very limited. They prefer to utilize vegetable material, and not the poly-such and gmo types - but the real thing!  As such The CURIOSITY Shop carry's a wide variety of vegetarian friendly and vegan products.
