Dunkin' Donuts is Handing Out Free Iced Coffee Gloves Tomorrow

Dunkin’ is giving away a limited-edition iced coffee glove with the purchase of any iced beverage, starting Friday, February 20 at 10 AM local time. Supply is limited and it’s while-supplies-last at participating locations, so earlier is better. An iced coffee starts around $3, making your total cost of entry about as low as it gets for a branded merch flip.

The glove is a single (yes, one) insulated glove meant for your sipping hand. It’s branded in Dunkin’s signature pink-and-orange colorway. Weird? Sure. But Dunkin’ has a track record of making weird merch that actually moves on the secondary market.

This isn’t a guaranteed flip by any stretch, but Dunkin’ merch has pulled through before. Their Megan Thee Stallion collab cups moved well, and their DKN’GS tracksuits resold for hundreds when they dropped. This glove is a much smaller item, so don’t expect those numbers, but a $20 to $30 sale is realistic for something this niche and this free to acquire.

At 13% eBay fees on a $25 sale, you’re netting around $21.75 before shipping. Pocket a mailer, ship it first class, and you’re probably clearing $17 to $19 on a $3 iced coffee. That’s not a career-making flip, but it’s a solid return on a coffee you were going to buy anyway.
