Big Brands Doing Cool Things: Paint Your Own Polos from Ralph Lauren
The last thing you might think to do on a rainy day is set your kid lose with permanent paints on a $45 Ralph Lauren Polo. But then Ralph Lauren begs to differ.

Behold: The Paint Your Own Polo kits for kids.

Packaged with paints, stamps, and brushes in a  cool little paint can, the kit makes a great gift for the children of your friends with the beach house that you scammed an invite to this summer.

Oddly, the kits only start at sizes for about five year olds (Hey Ralph! Preschoolers like painting too!) but if you've got a tween or artsy-preppy teen in your life you can hook them up too. The best part: 100% of the profits goes to benefit the pediatric art program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. -Liz
