Beyoncé unveils holiday line of gift ideas

Vibrant choice of merchandis­e

-

Beyoncé unveiled a vibrant range of holiday-themed merchandis­e in time for Christmas.

The superstar drops a fun collection prior to the festive season each year.

On Monday, Beyoncé dropped her 2018 range, with the offerings including black sweatshirt­s and joggers emblazoned with the word HOLIDAYONC­E in neon green, a neon green T-shirt featuring a grayscale portrait of the Formation singer and a black cropped T-shirt. A sweatsuit set and HOLIDAYONC­E scarf are also available in the clothing range.

Other items reference the iconograph­y used in her epic Coachella Music Festival gigs in April, which paid tribute to historical­ly black colleges and universiti­es and featured more than 100 dancers. A set of enamel pins features the Beyoncé coat of arms — including depictions of Egyptian queen Nefertiti, a Black Panther and black fist, nods to the Black Panther Party and members’ fight for civil rights, as well as a bee — a reference to the nickname for her fans, the Beyhive.

There is also Beyoncé-themed wrapping paper, featuring the Nefertiti and Black Panther symbols, with three sheets priced at $10, while the Homecoming Mug Set, costing $45, contains three ceramic mugs in black, pink and gold, printed with the coat of arms images.

For those seeking merchandis­e from Beyonce’s On the Run II Tour, co-headlined by her rapper husband Jay-Z, there are OTR II items still up for grabs, including a black T-shirt with the words This Is Real Love splashed on the front, and a kids’ sweater emblazoned with the OTR II logo.

Items are on Beyonce’s website.
