It’s Flag Day, an almost forgotten American holiday designed to celebrate our stars and stripes, the symbol of our American freedom and the backdrop for every Ted Nugent concert since 1978.

While this election has been more patriotic than most—after all, how can you “Make America Great Again” without America?—you may still have neglected to stock up on enough American flag paraphernalia to correctly celebrate this holiday. We’ve found six products that you can buy to up the patriotism factor in your life right away (and, perhaps, even call into question the First Amendment provisions that allow for the use of the American flag in merchandise).

Note: We’ve rejected products that seemed too commonplace. We wanted things that let you show your patriotism and your personality at the same time. Like, why settle for a flag bikini when you can have a flag cape? Why settle for a pair of shorts when you can have a full body hoodie?
