It’s that time of year again! So empty your wallet on Cubs merchandise and help the Cubs have the budget to load up on scrap heap bullpen guys for Chris Bosio to fix and lead us to another championship!
Currently, there is more Cubs merchandise for sale than at any other time in my life. You can’t walk into a grocery or big box store without being hit with a sea of blue and red items to buy with the words “Cubs World Series Championship” slapped on it. It’s overwhelming to know what to buy, and I’m here to help.
As a 42-year-old who’s typing this article while wearing bleached stained sweatpants that I bought a decade ago at Target, I know a thing or two about fashion. Also, I know many of us prefer a one stop shopping experience where we don’t spend a lot of money. So allow me to guide you through my picks for a gift from the Cubs Store under $40 for everyone in your family. These items are as inexpensive as possible without looking chintzy at the Holiday Party. Also, I’ve attempted to keep my picks generic and one sized fits all to help cross a few names off your “I don’t know what to buy them” list.
But before I highlight the wares of corporate baseball... I’d like to encourage everyone to shop locally! Support my artisan Cubs fan friends this Holiday Season. Buy Al Yellon’s “A Season For The Ages” book. Purchase Matt Kammerer’s Cubs Art. Order some Custom Cubs Shoes from Rare Blue Designs. You can even hire me to write and record you a song! Just email me. They all make great gifts and support our Cubs community.
But cubs.com is the place to buy everyone’s presents all at once!
