Between the lines
Pilsen’s Maybe Sunday Collective was founded by two School of the Art Institute of Chicago alums, Jason Guo and McKenzie Thompson. In honor of their alma mater’s 150th anniversary last year, they created a line of unisex T-shirts featuring the work of four celebrated SAIC grads: Katherine Bernhardt, Brian Calvin, Zak Prekop, and—coolest of all—Chris Ware, who inspired a tee containing panels from his 2012 graphic novel Building Stories. —Isa Giallorenzo $25 at Maybe Sunday Collective, 1320 W. 18th St, 312-625-0798, maybesunday.us.

There’s something inauthentic about the typical gift certificate. Sure, it signifies some sort of treasure to come, but the card stock or plastic itself is impersonal. The Numero Group offers a more soulful option: a gift card in the form of a 45, redeemable for records and other merch from the Little Village-based archival label’s vast catalog. —Isabel Ochoa Gold $25-$500 at Numero Factory Outlet, 2533 S. Troy, or at numerogroup.com/gift.
