Father’s Day Indulgences from Boredwalk

Fanboy Planet has a new affiliation through Shopify — Boredwalk! I stumbled across the company through Gabe Sanchez — he who had once been “Gabe” of The Next Door Horror. Basically, I liked their attitude and ordered a few t-shirts for myself. They’re comfortable and cover a wide range of attitudes. A couple of friends on social media asked where I got the shirts when I posted photos of wearing them, so as I was putting a sidebar ad together for the company — unasked, unaffiliated, just love their stuff — I discovered I could be an affiliate.

I did this because I already liked their products and wanted to share my enthusiasm. But official affiliation doesn’t hurt.

For me, Father’s Day ends up being a bit self-indulgent because my father is long gone, and though I’m a father myself, my kids are grown and a few hundred miles away. I appreciate their texts; I just know it’s a weekend to celebrate me, as opposed to all the other weekends when I celebrate me. (Come join me and 140,000 or so of my closest friends for my birthday celebration aka Comic-Con International!)

Maybe more Mother’s Day…

Long-winded way of saying, purchases made through links to Boredwalk products may generate a commission for Fanboy Planet, as well as directly benefiting an artist owned small business based in Los Angeles that employs a few young actors I know to create comedy and advertising content. Their shirts, towels, and other cloth items are printed in Los Angeles. Their books and games are all printed in North America, using companies in both Canada and the U.S.

By the way, their shirts do come in both men’s and women’s, with some products unisex. I just curated a few in men’s because of Father’s Day.

Take a look at their values — taken directly from their site:

• We design and sell high-quality affordable products featuring on-trend, original designs

• We’re committed to delivering outstanding customer service

• We strive to minimize our environmental impact with our production and shipping practices

• We delight in creating good jobs in our community with living wages and good benefits, including health care benefits, retirement benefits, paid holidays, and ample paid time off.

• We support social justice organizations that reflect our values — over the years our small business has donated thousands of dollars to organizations such as ACLU, She Should Run, Planned Parenthood, 314 Action and City of Promise.

Here’s one for Drew Edwards, whose wife recently had a baby and will be celebrating his first Father’s Day:

Finally, yes, I do know someone who should probably get this for Father’s Day, and it’s not me. I swear.

Take a look around their site once you get there. If what I’ve highlighted above doesn’t float your boat, they’ll have something that does.
