WELCOME TO THE UNEMPLOYED PHILOSOPHERS GUILD WINTER– SPRING 2021 INTERNATIONAL WHOLESALE SUPPLEMENT! Who’s in your corner? UPG makes thoughtful, delightful gifts… Little Thinkers
for the corner of your desk.
Planter pots for the corner of your windowsill. Magnetic Personalities Notebooks

to keep you organized.
Lip balms to make you comfortable. Charming little soaps to wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands. Secular Saints
to keep you inspired…
Everything we make – from heat-transforming coffee mugs to colorful enamel pin sets – reminds you of all that’s engaging in life – every time you catch us in the corner of your eye. THE UNEMPLOYED PHILOSOPHERS GUILD began millennia ago in ancient Athens. (We’re kicking ourselves for not saving our ancient artifacts – which were new artifacts at the time… then used artifacts – and we would’ve had to schlep them through the Dark Ages and all those Witch Trials… if only we could remember where we buried them.) Anyway, we’ve been making things to crack people up for a long time, carrying on this age-old tradition from our Ivory Tower HQ in Brooklyn, New York. We hope you enjoy our artifacts.
The Unemployed Philosophers Guild In your corner since roughly 399 BCE.
