Gifts for Valentine's day
This might be the first time this year you are reminded of valentine’s day. Or maybe it isn’t. However, over here we are already busy thinking of it because we know that the time around Valentine’s day will be busy again.
Why? Because this day is one of the top occasions that you can use custom gifts for your beloved one. And Shirtcity is one of the best shops that allows you to create those. Our product range allows you to choose from shirts and gifts of all kinds. So maybe think of already having an unconspicious look at your boy- or girlfriends clothes’ labels as they lay around on your floor…
Especially customized string thongs have a seasonal high around february 14. Obviously a strong recommendation as a hot and sexy present for your girl.
Customized string thongs from £ 11.90
On the design side there is a vast Love T-shirt design section that is full of romantic designs. Hearts and flowers everywhere. Our top recommendation is of course the custom I love T-shirt that is described here. Each of them means giving something special that hardly anyone has. Add a few lines of text in the shirtdesigner and you have the perfect, romantic, unique, personal and original present for valentine’s day. And unlike flowers they will last long long time and give your darling a romantic reminder of your love every time he or she stands in front of the wardrobe.
Last order date: Since Feb 14th is on a Sunday this year, think of early preparations! In order to get everything shipped on time and make sure the Mailman has enough time to get your romantic gifts across the pond, please place your order until February 1st (USA & Canada).
Custom printed longsleeve shirts
As said in the previous post, winter season is here. We react to this with some cool Xmas and winter designs - but “Winter T-shirts” sounds a bit like an oxymoron, right? But of course Shirtcity is not only the place for short sleeves.
We offer a range of products that keep you warm, and of course all of them can be custom printed with your text and design ideas. And to help you find the right product for your needs, we briefly introduce our long sleeved products, starting from light to warm:
A longsleeve shirt is basically a T-shirt with elongated sleeves. We have three of these in store: a male one, the baseball longsleeve with contrasting sleeves and a lady longsleeve. Nice ones to wear inside.
Printed hoodies and sweaters
When you need something warmer you can opt for a nice comfy sweater (right) which is recommended for, say, rooms with a broken heating. Add a hood and a handy front pocket to this and you will have - a hoodie. There we also have three models: The American Apparel hoodie (left) is a high quality product with a modern cut, more tight fitting and made from a lighter fabric - the ideal choice for warm summer nights. The standard hoodie is warmer, made from a thick fabric and loose fit. The ideal choice if you tend to be cold. A brand new product in store is the lady’s hoodie by Stedman:
The new lady's hoodie
It offers a great modern cut adapted to the female shape, is super comfy on the inside and is guaranteed to keep you warm. Available from now on.
If you prefer products with a zipper, there is a variety of jackets in store: Men can choose from the fashionable retro jackets with striped sleeves, the even more fashionable track jackets by American Apparel with white accents and the hooded jackets by Continental Clothing. Ladies have the choice between the classic lady jacket and a hooded jacket, both made by Continental Clothing.
Finally,if you have kids you certainly want to make sure they are kept warm in winter, so for them we have a kid’s baseball longsleeve, a kid’s hoodie and a kid’s hooded jacket. And if they design their products themselves, you can be sure they will not grumble if you tell them to put something on to go outside…
Astronaut Moonwalker T-Shirt - for £ 10.40
Even with the internet being our business and online every day there are always new thing emerging that can surprise and amuse you. For example the massive Michael Jackson wave that has grabbed the net. Our current Shirt of the Week “Astronaut Moonwalker” honours the Eternal Moonwalk which is an awesome Michael Jackson tribute site to watch for hours - you just might want to turn off the repeated one bar of the Billy Jean bassline some time. It’s also evocative of the moon landing 60 years ago.
If you want to join in the eternal moonwalk: a) put on your Michael Jackson tribute shirt (I have barely seen anyone appropriately dressed there), b) learn how to moonwalk, c) dance.
It's a long tradition that, besides getting through the pre-xmas frenzy, December ist traditionally the month to look back. Every December we're getting shown long lists and charst of songs, albums, people and headlines of the year. As a T-Shirt company all we can give you is this:

Love and tradition of the grand design,

Steven Quincy Urkel, aka "Urkel", with his large thick glasses, pants held high by suspenders, cardigan sweater and his high pitched voice. He was your stereotypical nerd yet he made a lasting impression among many of todays twenty-somethings, including myself.
Shirtcity has chosen to immortalize The Urkel by granting him his own tshirt. Wear this shirt proudly knowing no matter how clumsy and dorky you are can still be infamous in your own unique way.
Now dear Shirtcity Blog readers, I give you….THE URKEL DANCE!
Here are a couple videos from the brilliant staff at Shirtcity’s home office. I hope you enjoy them.
BEHIND THE SHIRT DESIGNER: This video is a different take on the internet’s favorite shirt designer. One can only imagine the amount of planning that was put in to make this video possible.

SHIRTILICOUS: I have never seen t-shirts look so appetizing in my life. I’d like to see one of our readers create at t-shirt pizza. Take a look while I go get some ice cream.
Shirtcity has designed a special shirt to commemorate the 2008 Bejiing Olympics and it was just activated today. Even the Olympics are not safe from the brutal humor of our designers. We highlight some of China’s favorite pastimes which include but are not limited to the following: State brutality/genocide, monumental pollution, internet censorship, and everyones favorite, dictatorship.
I may not agree with China’s politics or how they treat their citizens but I freaking LOVE The Olympics. I’ll watch the staples that are gymnastics, swimming, diving, and track and field but I prefer the more obscure sports such as Handball. I don’t know the first thing about international Handball competition but from what I’ve read Croatia is the team to beat.
The Games are already under way and I plan on being attached to my TV and/or computer to make sure I don’t miss a second. The Opening Ceremonies will be broadcasted tonight so I’ll give you a little taste of what to expect.
"Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful"- Jimi Hendrix
Our daring designers have decided to honor the greatest, most innovative, creative and all around bad-ass rock n roll guitarist Jimi Hendrix by (how else?) allowing him to grace Shirtcity’s entire line of t-shirts and accessories.
We’ve got two different designs. We have one specifically designed for darker shirts as well as another designer especially for our lighter colored articles.
Check out our entire collection of designs HERE. Not only do we have The Legend but we also have Bob, Bill, Amy and even a Big Dick.
Happy 232nd birthday America! Your citizens will celebrate your glorious birth by grilling meat , drinking cheap beer, and blowing things up . I don’t know about you but that sounds about as American as it gets. The last few years have been rough but our country’s enduring spirit is what has kept us the greatest nation on the planet. Heck, if we can survive the 80s (as in the Reagan Era , not the Cleveland Era ) I firmly believe we can persevere over high gas prices, a horrible economy and a war that seems to be going nowhere.
Here’s to you America! May the next 230 years be just as exciting!
