It’s getting cold out there. Now is the time for any of our supplier friends to send us some promotional socks and slippers. Maybe a robe, too, for lounging on mornings where it’s chilly but not cold enough to turn the heat on. That’d be great. While you assemble those kits, we’ll just be looking at some of our favorite promo products that might not keep us warm, but are pretty cool...

It's the spookiest time of year, but you know what isn’t scary? Promotional products. We can’t think of a single nightmare we’ve had about them. If you’re a distributor, you’ve probably had a few involving missed shipments or something like that. Or maybe you’ve even had a dream about a bobblehead that came to life. Actually, that’s not a bad movie idea. Anyway, here's the Fave 5...

I know we said McDonald's wants you to wear your "birthday suit," but we have to remind you (as your attorneys) not to show up to McDonald’s in the nude. This is just a clever turn of phrase on McDonald’s behalf. The fast food restaurant released a loungewear set to celebrate the the McFlurry's 25th anniversary from home, and it sold out in an hour...

Members of the Proud Boys, the far-right organization, are known for wearing black and yellow Fred Perry polo shirts typically seen at rallies or protests. In response, Fred Perry said it will stop selling the shirts in North America. It may not matter, as Tuesday night's presidential debate led to new opportunities for the Proud Boys to design shirts of their own...

All our Philly teams are bad, so let’s just say we’ve been avoiding all of our usual sports beats on social media. That's given us some extra time and incentive to hunt for fun promotional products across the web and in real life. This week’s haul is a good one, if we may say so ourselves. (We do say so.

Part of the appeal of Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge theme park was the fact that all of the merchandise was exclusive. You couldn’t get it unless you ventured a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. (OK, it’s just in Florida, but still.) Yes, the merchandise isn’t the whole reason people go.…
