" The best things to buy from Timberland are the jackets and nice shirts" would be number agreement, Sir.
However, you might want to try colloquial, Sir; like " The best buys at Timberland are their jackets and nice shirts"
Have a nice day.

Word order in English is usually subject+verb+complement, so your sentence should read "The jackets and the nice shirts are the best things to buy from Timberland"...It is possible to change the sentence order to emphasize something, in this case the emphasis in your sentence goes to "the best things to buy"...in general we put first what we want to underline...that's how you came up (willingly or unwillingly) with the sentence " The best things to buy from Timberland are the jackets and nice shirts"...However, the subject of the sentence is still "The jackets and the shirts" and therefore, the verb should be "are" not "is"

There is only one sentence because your are speaking of two items and only in one sentence have you made "thing" plural.
