Restaurant chains that sell branded merchandise are a reliable source for ideas when the gift-giving season rolls around, at least for white elephant exchanges, gag gifts and ugly sweater contests.
This year’s crop includes tiki loungewear, seafood tree ornaments and a burrito blanket.
Be aware these kinds of novelties tend to sell out fast, which is what happened to Dunkin’s ugly sweater, according to its website.
The following items were available from restaurants at press time. If they sell out, it might be possible to find them on a secondary marketplace such as eBay.
Bamboo Club: The Long Beach restaurant and tiki bar has released what it calls its first line of apparel in partnership with Disney-inspired Huntington Beach artist Mcbiff. The shirts and shorts cost $60-$110 and available at the restaurant, 3522 E Anaheim St. They will be available through the restaurant’s web store beginning Monday, Dec. 5, according to a news release. bambooclublb.com
Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf: This chain’s seasonal collection includes a 16-ounce bag of Cookie Butter Medium Roast Ground Coffee, currently on sale for $8.99. store.coffeebean.com/collections/seasonal
