Kellogg's is making sure that you keep those feet fresh every day of the week with a special line of branded socks that corresponds with Special K flavors and a weekly planner. All of these items come in the “Blursday Go-Away Kit,” which “aims to help people avoid the feeling that each day is blurring into the next as they spend more time at home during the pandemic."...

Raise your hand if you're tired of hearing the terms "PPE" and "COVID." Did you hear that? That was the collective sound of the entire promo industry raising their hands at the same time. All jokes aside, masks and other PPE gear will very likely be here to stay for a long time. The question…

You’re probably well aware that socks and footwear are important. You’re probably even wearing socks right now. But what you might not know are some of the many capabilities that companies have to make socks more interesting or functional than just covering your feet...

Plus three more cool finds!...

Thanks to its Super Bowl ad, Planters—which had supposedly consigned Mr. Peanut to that great big mascot resting place in the sky—has given the character a shot at redemption in miniature form, and the ensuing Baby Nut merch aims to be the awwwwwww-inducing promotional products line of the year.

With respect to comedic assertions of prowess, we had long thought that nothing would ever top the account by Dr. Evil, in “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,” that his father would revel in making “outrageous claims like he invented the question mark.” That stance changed when we learned that on Friday, Marc Jacobs, already…

With respect to self-preservation—or the lack thereof—and admission of culpability and defiance, we have always found ourselves drawn to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” and the 1995 film “Heat.” A weird pairing, we know, but hear us out.
