We made it! It’s finally Inauguration Day and there is a ton of political schwag to be found. Here is just the first, custom flip flops are kind of an odd political schwag item to hand out especially since it’s January. But the Obama heads attached to the flip flops make them really unique.

This poster, which reminds everyone to vote for Buchanan on November 4th, 1856, is truly vintage schwag! Political promotional posters [...]

You’re not a REAL politician until you have at least 150 different schwag items plastered with your name and the year of your candidacy on them. Check out these promotional noisemakers from Mitt Romney’s failed campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination. I think I spot an imprinted frisbee too! Better luck in 4 years [...]

I know the election is over, but I can’t help thinking I missed something. Oh, that’s right, I forgot about third party candidate schwag. I just found this Ralph Nader promotional bumper sticker.

Who says schwag has to be in the form of physical objects?  In this day and age, many of us spend more time surfing the internet than we do walking the streets every day. So, in addition to passing out promotional shirts or buttons to resresent your candidate this election, you might want to tag [...]

I stayed awake all night waiting for that text message to find out who would be Barack Obama’s running mate. I also knew that it wouldn’t be long till some really awesome political schwag was created for the candidates. So who is going to be sporting an Obama-Biden Bumper Sticker?

Take a look at these McCain promotional button down shirts. It’s interesting to see the different promotional apparel between Barack Obama and John McCain. While McCain sports button down shirts, Obama has these hip promotional t-shirts. Just something I thought was interesting!
