Not gonna lie, guys—I’ve spent the better part of the week deciding whether or not to pour my paycheck into an IronPigs Jawn T-shirt and hat. And to make matters worse, there’s a ton of other promotional products that caught my eye this week, and my wallet cannot handle the pressure.
From “Stranger Things”-inspired sports giveaways and a blood-spattered Amazon Echo to (yes, you guessed it) more brewery merchandise, here is this week’s installment of the Fave 5.
1. Neptune’s Net Summer Mugs

I love the camp mug look of these drinkware products, and I am a huge sucker for teal branding.
2. Highland Park Brewery Merchandise

I considered making a very long drive to acquire this T-shirt, and it turns out I’m not the only one. Plus, the socks are already sold out.
3. Chicago Cubs “Stranger Things” Fanny Pack

“Stranger Things” is a huge seller these days, but that doesn’t mean teams and businesses can just phone it in with their inspired giveaways. I love what the Cubs did for the ballpark’s promotional giveaway, since fanny packs are a major trend right now.
4. ACCT Philly Tees

I get to wear a tee with animals on it, AND help an animal rescue? I am fully on board.
5. “Us” Amazon Echo
Well, @JordanPeele keeps sending me scary gifts, and I’m into it. #TheDarkSideOfUs pic.twitter.com/4T117HCAWS

I’m assuming this was part of a press kit celebrating the DVD release of “Us,” and I love that the marketing team decided to go all out with this blood-splattered Amazon Echo. (Yes, it did feel strange typing that sentence.)
