We all have our favourite t-shirts. You know, the shirts that have been through the wash enough times that the imprints are barely visible, and yet we still continue to wear them with pride. Here’s a look at a few iconic t-shirts that I’m sure have graced the closets of many of us. Let us know your favorite or if you have one that we need to add. Post on our Facebook wall or tweet a picture using PRG handle @prgstore and we will add to the blog.

For today’s Weird Wednesday post, we bring you the Pop Art Toaster. This toaster is a one of a kind item, burning your company logo onto the bread that it pops out! Can you imagine having the ability to get your company logo in front of your customer’s face first thing in the morning?

We aren’t too sure about how people will feel about partially burnt toast, but this novelty item will definitely leave a lasting impression on any clients mind.

For today’s Weird Wednesday promotional feature we are showcasing The Chewer. One of the most impractical promotional items, let alone items, I think we`ve ever come across.

Having trouble counting the number of chews you`re making before you decide to swallow your food? No need to worry, the chewer keeps track of it for you, simply attach the item to your jaw and let it do all counting for you!

This item would be a great promo item when hosting your next big corporate luncheon, or perhaps a fancy cocktail dinner. All joking aside, you probably won`t find this product with us, but if you are interested in some unique and actually useful promotional items, PRG can make it happen.

This holiday season Promotion Resource Group wants to help those in need by making a donation to the Kerr Street Ministries in Oakville. Kerr Street Ministries (KSM) helps and gives hope to Oakville’s most vulnerable citizens. A worthy cause at all times but very special to PRG during the holidays.  Serving over 5,000 people, KSM provides support and care particularly for children and youth of low income families.

In order to support and create awareness for this good cause, PRG is running a campaign to raise funds and we need your help! Upload a picture of your favourite beverage (coffee, tea, water, etc.) on our Facebook wall or mention us on Twitter using our handle @prgstore with a link to your image and we will donate the cost of a coffee ($2) to Kerr Street Ministries for each image! At the end of the 25 days we will announce the amount raised on Twitter and Facebook.

We wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season, please help us do the same for another family.

We think we have found a pretty cool alternative to the typical USB drives that you may have seen. USB drives are great for quick storage on the go, and have come down in price. We find that USB drives are often easy to lose and annoying to keep track of. And if you are like us then you probably have a couple scattered on your desk and maybe one or two in a drawer somewhere. Sure you can put them on your key chain, which is a little bulky, or even wear it around your neck; which was cool back in 2001.
We think that the Credit Card USB drive is the answer! It’s pretty cool that a USB drive can now fit in your wallet, and can come in any colour you want! Lots of customers ask us to load company information on USB drives for them, as they often hand them out with business cards at trade shows and other events. But what if your business card was also a USB drive? We think it’s a great idea to give out some of these as your business card with company information loaded right on it! The imprint area for a logo and business information is much larger than a typical USB and it is more memorable than a regular business card.

I’m sure by now most of you have heard of Movember. Although some men cannot grow a full glorious stache, they are all part of the “brotherhood”- an elite group of males who start with a clean shaven face November 1st and end with a dirty, patchy upper lip come November 30th.  And Movember isn’t just for men, Mo Sista’s  are encouraged to cheer on their Mo Bro’s every year.

The goal of Movember is to help raise awareness for men’s health issues such as prostate cancer.  Check out our Mark Jacksons’ Mo Bro page here and stay tuned for updates! Mark was able to briefly meet with Adam Garone (@adamgarone) at the Montreal Sponsorship Conference this summer during the F1. Adam is the CEO and founder of the Movember Foundation, and he inspired Mark to take part in the movement this year.

To keep everyone in the Movember spirit, we have a free giveaway that will last until the end of Movember! Tweet the link to this blog post on Twitter and be sure to mention and follow @prgstore. Those who do will receive a free pack of character mustaches (self adhesive, reusable- pack of 12). What kind of mustache are you- Handlebar, Einstein or maybe even Fu Manchu?
 

Great looking mustaches for all occasions.
Self adhesive, looks real. Use over and over.

The brief history of Movember is an interesting one. The idea arose out of Australia in 1999, and really started to catch on in 2004 when the Movember Foundation was created to help spread awareness. In 2007, the Movember Foundation launched in Canada, and although it seemed like a fad at first, the movement is becoming more and more popular every year.  Right now Canada is in first place with 224,250 participants and $15,462,003 in funds raised month to date.
