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.

There is just so much going on here, and yet it all works.
3. Strand Sweatshirts
Because someday (we hope) it will be cold again. #collegiate #SWEATshirt #StrandU https://t.co/LQd8WepGcO pic.twitter.com/quihKPphyy

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.
