My 5 Favorite Promotions of the Week: Pixies Skateboards, Strand Sweatshirts and More

My dad's birthday is this week, and I've been scouring the internet trying to figure out what on earth to get for the man who just wants socks. So, I've spent a lot of time on the internet getting distracted by other products—mainly awesome promotional merchandise that I just want to buy for myself.

Without further ado, here's this week's fave five.

1. Beer Belly T-shirts

One of my favorite craft beer destinations in LA is closing, and they're selling this merchandise as "soon-to-be collector's items."

2. Wilmington Blue Rocks Woodstalk Uniforms

The @WilmBlueRocks will commemorate 50 years since Woodstock with Woodstalk, a "celery-bration" of their alter ego, Mr. Celery.

I've become an inadvertent Cubs fan recently, and I've got to say, this merchandise collaboration sealed the deal.

5. Pixies x Montana Pool Service

Proceeds from these skateboard decks benefit the Fort Peck Reservation in Wolf Point, Mont., and I suddenly wish I knew how to skateboard.
