Promising review: "I was shocked 😳 when I received the shipping notification so fast. Opened up my package today and was very impressed with the quality of the shirt.

Promising review: "I used to be committed to the Old Navy Pixie Pants, but after wearing these I'm never going back.

8. A Funko Pop! Cthulhu action figure for anyone with a good memory and a keen eye.

9. An Atticus-inspired bath and body set that he definitely could've used more than once in the series. The bloody mess of episode one, the murky waters of episode four — it's a wonder there weren't more shower scenes. I felt like I needed a bath after episode five.
