Humanity has celebrated a total solar eclipse in a variety of disturbing ways over the millennia: from ritual sacrifices to surprise invasions. We here at Future Commerce HQ believe that commerce is culture—so, naturally, we choose to celebrate with a bougie (and boozy) gift guide. Spoiler alert: a lot of breweries named their lager and ale 'Totality.'

The North American solar eclipse will be the last for a long, long time—twenty years, in fact—so you might as well enjoy it by celebrating both commerce and culture. From humble Moon Pies to an autographed California Red, bottled by a literal astronaut.

Embark on this journey of refined taste and discerning choice, and transform your holiday gifting into a celebration of the extraordinary.
