Hot Spot Monthly hand picks T-Shirts from the coolest hot spots from around the country, such as pubs, lounges, microbrewers, recording studios, etc. and sends them directly to your door on a monthly basis. I love the idea behind Hot Spot Monthly (I have quite a collection of bar t-shirts myself because I can’t resist buying something when I go somewhere “cool”) so when they contacted me to see if I’d like to check out a month, I was all over it!
Hot Spot Monthly ships via USPS from Indiana and arrived to me (in MI) very quickly. I didn’t get a tracking number or a shipment e-mail, but that could be because it was a blog review?
Since I didn’t know this was coming, I didn’t have a chance to go on a hunt for any spoilers. I would guess it’s probably more fun this way but I do love looking for spoilers too. I was happy to see that I did not recognize this month’s Hot Spot and then right away wondered if I have ever heard of any of the Hot Spots? I was also happy that B was home when the package arrived and happily modeled the shirt for me. If he would have asked me to try on something on he could take a picture of me and post them on the internet, with no notice, I’d deny that request in two seconds. B just took off the shirt he was wearing (which was a treat in itself), put this one on and smiled. I love him.
I was also happy to see that the package includes an information card which tells you a little about this month’s Hot Spot. The July Hot Spot is “The Downward Dog” located in Corvallis, OR. The Downward Dog specializes in local micro brews, boutique wineries and small craft distilled spirits. It sounds like quite a cool place and if we are ever in the area (you never know), we will totally check it out!
The t-shirt itself is your standard cotton bar t-shirt and while B does look good in it, I am going to give this to my brother because I know he’ll love it even more! He’s a total t-shirt guy and this is perfect for him. And the fact that the shirt has a dog on it makes it even better!
