IN THE RECORD EXCHANGE GIFT SHOP: BACON. IN WALLET FORM AND MORE

Bacon: It’s not just for breakfast any more.

Arguably the funniest of breakfast meats, the greasy pig strips provided the inspiration for Accoutrements’ line of bacon novelties, and we’re doing our part to oink it up here in The Record Exchange Gift Shop. To wit:

Bacon Strips Adhesive Bandages

Bendable Mr. Bacon

Bacon Balm (bacon-flavored lip balm)

Deluxe Bacon Wallet

Mr. Bacon’s Big Adventure Board Game

IN THE RECORD EXCHANGE GIFT SHOP: FACIAL HAIR FUN FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

Here at The Record Exchange, we love us some facial hair, whether it’s a full beard, killer ‘stache or even stick-on fake face fur.

Of the latter, The Record Exchange Gift Shop is well-stocked. There’s the 4-foot World’s Longest Beard (pictured), one-a-day Stylish Mustaches (for boys and girls) and Manly Mustache Mirror Clings.

And these aren’t just for Halloween. Wouldn’t it be awesome to strap on the World’s Longest Beard and freak out some of the squares at Alive After Five?

YO! OLD SCHOOL RAP TEES AT THE RX!

The Record Exchange staff includes a bunch of old-school rap fans, so naturally we were super stoked when an assortment of classic hip-hop T-shirts showed up last week in The Record Exchange Gift Shop.

The collection includes original logos from Golden Age rap groups such as Public Enemy, Run DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, EPMD and Beastie Boys, plus a rad Yo! MTV Raps logo shirt. Oh yeah, and we have the Wu.

Each heavyweight cotton shirt is only $15.99. We have big boy sizes, too. Word.

TRUE VINTAGE DESIGNS RETRO MEN’S, WOMEN’S, KIDS’ SHIRTS NOW AVAILABLE!

Now available in The Record Exchange Gift Shop is a killer collection of authentically retro T-shirts from True Vintage Designs!

True Vintage Designs sells shirts with incredible vintage designs. It’s quite simple: They only use companies and products that TRULY existed, and the tees are the result of many, many hours searching for killer designs on old boxes, bags, cartons, print ads and more. These designs are the real thing. True Vintage Designs doesn’t sit around trying to make things look “old school.” They don’t put jumbo national brands on T-shirts and pretend that they’re weathered or distressed.

All shirts are manufactured in Los Angeles and discharge printed in New Jersey. Discharge printing is a premium process that creates bold and durable designs using water-based inks. The designs are printed into the fabric (versus plastic ink that sits on top of the fabric — which ultimately cracks and peels).

True Vintage Designs only uses American Apparel — the highest quality and most comfortable T-shirts available. By purchasing these shirts, you are also supporting fair labor practices — everything is designed, manufactured and printed in the United States!
