Here’s a new one. Instead of splashing out on expensive perfumes and deodorants, you could just mosey on down to a pheromone party, where your three day old t-shirt will be handed around for copius sniffing to see whether anyone wants to hook up with you. Choose a t-shirt and wear it for three consecutive days and nights to impregnate the tee with buckets of your sweat. Apparently, the less perfumed products you wear the better (they might mess your odour imprint, wouldn’t you know). Also, spicy foods and garlic are best avoided, just in case they overpower your natural aroma (which after three days is probably pretty high).
Alternatively, you can go just go and smell other people’s laundry basket rejects. At the end of your sniffing spree, if you aren’t flat out cold in a corner, you can match your stinky shirt to a photo. If you like the look and the smell of a person, you can hook up together. What could possibly go wrong?
Er………..where do you want me to start!!!

I have just made this t-shirt for my next door neighbour’s birthday party this weekend, and thought it would be a good one to share. If you were to know my neighbour, you would know that this is a very appropriate slogan. She does like a good helping of champagne now and then. More ‘now’ than ‘then’ in fact! . All the time would be preferable.
We have lots of new t-shirt templates for you to personalise your t-shirts, hoodies and mouse mats. This version of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” slogan is a brilliant one for customising with messages for friends and makes an excellent birthday gift. Have a browse through our selection and take a look at our special offers whilst you’re at it. Enjoy the weekend!

Sometimes I really do feel my age. I am not up with all manner of text speak (please don’t ROFL or LOL too much on my behalf), so when confronted with this image of former reality TV-turned-Coronation Street-babe Kym Marsh sporting a printed jumper with the initials XOXO (the first X partially concealed) I felt I was being aggressively confronted with a 1980′s gravy advert.
Thus, a word of warning. If you are intending to send a subversive message via the medium of personalised clothing, make sure your that none of your important initials are obscured. Don’t want anyone thinking you are jumping on the gravy train now, do you!!!

Threadless is one of the most fantastic sites if you’re looking for some great t-shirt ideas and inspiration. It’s also the place to go if you’ve got an amazing design you want to share. Best of all, I can have a browse through some of the amazing pieces of t-shirt design and some truly hilarious slogans all in the name of work. Hurrah!
Todays haul includes this lovely one, an interesting take on the Audrey look!
A corker, available in men’s and women’s sizes in t-shirts and vest tops. Might not go down well with everyone, but hey ho!
This is my new favourite hoodie, I particularly love the use of the zip as a piece of interactive artwork. Inspired!

Supergroup, the owners of clothing company Superdry have announced their third shock profit warning since October, it was reported this weekend. The drastic fall in sales has been blamed on lack of variety and new lines together with knock off sales and quite honestly the brand being a bit of a one trick pony.
Superdry burst onto the scene in 2004, spawned from the ashes of Cult Clothing. The casual urban-wear emblazoned with retro looking Japanese slogans was an instant hit, and everyone from Pippa Middleton to David Beckham were spotted wearing the label’s own unique brand of retro cool.
The downside for Superdry is that in the intervening years, they have become just a bit too super. Whilst the slogans and retro styling are a good look, they have become ubiquitous, and the niche is now overloaded. Unfortunately pretty much everyone can do vintage looking garments with cool writing much cheaper than Superdry.
So what next for the label? Will they shape up, or will the great British consumer hang them out to (super)dry?

I really like the look of these mugs from Cox & Cox. With their own little blackboard on the side, they’re ready to personalise every time you use them. They look as thought they’d make a great gift, and at £21 for a set of two (chalk included), not a bad price for a birthday or housewarming. You can have hours of endless fun drawing on the little blackboards, and when you are finished, bung them in the dishwasher ready to start anew when they’re clean. A definite buy of the day!

With just under a hundred days to go until the London Olympics, things in the capital are hotting up. To celebrate, we have designed a London 2012 Olympic t-shirt for you to personalise. With a silhouette of the London skyline and the date, all you need to do is pick a colour and add your own line of text underneath.
This is such a great t-shirt to play around with. I chose the cheesiest line of text I could think of, but you can be much more creative. Now we just have to win a few medals!

Top news story today is that Pippa Middleton, sis to the Duchess of Cambridge and the owner of the most famous bottom this side of the Atlantic (I fear her derriere is slightly in the shadow of famous American rumps, such as the Kardashian, the Beyonce, and the Rihanna.
Still, Pippa has surely enjoyed the door’s that her bottom has opened (ew, weird image there, sorry). Her book on party planning, set for release in October, is netting her the princely (can’t not use that pun, although pretty dire I know) sum of £400 00. Apparently, every chapter is going to start with an amusing anecdote. Possibly even the current one. That of her lawyer friend waving a gun at the paps in Paris this week. Hmm, is that the chapter on how to make your party go off with a bang?
If convicted of threatening the paps with a real gun, her companion faces a jail sentence. Which is why Pip’s bum is going behind bars in our personalised t-shirt template today. It might be a bit of a tenuous link, but then some might say that getting a book deal because your sister married someone famous is a bit tenuous too?

Along with our personalised stag t-shirts, we have a wonderful “Desperate Housewives” style t-shirt template for your hen night. This is a real corker and has to be played with in order to be fully appreciated.
I have gone a bit Kim Kardashian with my attempt, but obviously you would add your own names, dates and places. Have fun!

Our personalised t-shirt templates are taking off in a big way, and it’s getting increasingly tricky to keep up with the boss as he gets more and more creative.
This is another of our custom stag t-shirts, the king of stags. You can play around with different colours of stag and his corona and add one line of text. A marvellous t-shirt for the wedding party season!
