Our 5 Favorite Promotional Products of the Week: Borat 'Masks' and More

By Brendan Menapace

Everybody feeling OK? Did you at least get a few hours of sleep? We’ve been refreshing the news just like everyone else, but it’s good to step away for a second and decompress.

What better way to momentarily check out than looking at some fun and creative promotional products? We can’t think of anything more fun and relaxing (except maybe mini golf).

1. Borat 2 ‘Mask’

We were surprised by a new “Borat” film, which came at a weird time in America’s history. Masks are all the rage for promotional products, but this one is … different.

2. Imprint Beer’s ‘Label Issues’ label

No, this isn’t really a mistake. It’s actually just some clever graphic design and printing. How else would you decorate a beer called “Label Issues?”

3. Cultivaire Tote Bags and Tees

Philly plant store Cultivaire is doing a clever merchandise tie-in. If you buy a tote bag, you get 5 percent off of your plants each time you come back in with it. Not only does it encourage repeat business, it promotes environmentally-friendly shopping!

4. Philadelphia’s ‘I Voted’ Stickers

For one day in November, an original creation by @TylerSchool student Katie Fish could be the most visible piece of art in Philadelphia.

OK, sorry, one thing related to the election. Philly’s “I Voted” stickers were designed by an art school student at Temple University. They're a fun, minimalist and artistic take on the stock design.

5. ‘Irresistible’ Promotional Gift Bag

Is there anything more 2020 than a face mask and stress ball? We haven’t seen this movie, so we’re not sure where the cow actually comes into play, but we’ll give the crew the benefit of assuming it’s a clever tie-in.
