SWEET CLOTHING LINE

Walter Payton was called Sweetness, but to defenders he was anything but. KangaROOS and the Walter and Connie Payton Foundation have launched a new clothing line that pays tribute to the late great Chicago Bears running back. The collection includes leather athletic shoes and clothing with retro images of Payton. Most items include Payton's jersey number, 34, the Sweetness Logo and the signature of the legendary player. Shoe prices range from $85 to $100, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Walter and Connie Payton Foundation, which helps neglected, abused and underprivileged children. Available at Finish Line stores. Sweet.

STERLING SILVER TRIBUTE

The dog tag is an instantly recognizable symbol of military service. For those who want a personalized — not to mention stylish — way to remember their service member, Zales.com has introduced a new line of sterling silver dog tags. The tags can be engraved with one to three initials on the front. The tag comes with a silver ball chain, just like the ones military dog tags are worn on. The collection also includes charms with a choice of service emblem – Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy. This dog tag sells for $69.00.

BIG THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

From the island of Istanbul, T-box makes its way to the United States with a concept that shrinks their clothing line into cute little boxes and shapes. We're talking tiny; these dainty packages fit into the palm of your hand. The company condenses panties, boxers, T-shirts, scarves and more. They're fun to open, too; like a jack-in-the-box, the items spring out when you open the box. Prices range from $25 to $32. Available at penelope t, 1413 S. Howard Ave., Tampa.
