Since people are looking for gifts that will keep them both comfortable and safe this season and beyond, it's no surprise that the limited-edition Social Distancing Sweater by Neon Buddha sold out in just 43 minutes. Created to help women celebrate the season in style, the sweater comes with 10 face masks for the whole family, plus a gallon of hand sanitizer and Vitamin C and zinc supplements to support a robust immune system all season long.
The Social Distancing Sweater itself has unique design details like an angled hem, two large front pockets accented with metallic bottons. Knowing that there are new essentials for leaving the house, Neon Buddha made the pockets big enough to carry face masks and sanitizer.
