If it sounds strange to link a romantic quality with a charity that aids victims of war and natural disasters, all one has to do is look at this fantastic umbrella, or imagine pretty nurses tending to handsome soldiers during World War I. Either way, the vintage American Red Cross promotional posters (by Norman Rockwell and other greats) that adorn this umbrella are sure to brighten any rainy day. As will the thought that carrying it supports one of America's favorite charities. (redcrossstore.org, $34.95)
