Check out http://www.cafepress.com and see what you all like the look of.....I'll work from there.

Appreciate the support though folks. Killer :)

Cafe Press shipping costs will be less too, as they are US based (as are most of my readers)....anywhere is cheaper than shipping them from the WombatZone.


Hey I'm only on my third beer, so watch this space I might kick in with an offer of $60 in a few hours, $25 dollars + shipping, that's my offer right now got to be grey T if possible as black is for rock nerds.

Prices on Cafe Press are their WHOLESALE costs. The retail or profit margin has to be added to those prices.

Black t-shirts are always good, long or short sleeve. That's a killer thong they offer, too. :D

I'm going to be selfish and ask for the infant/toddler t-shirt. No secret that MR.com is responsible for the twins ;).

The value t-shirt might be a good idea as well as coffee mugs.

Drew, you may want to mark up MR-X $10 and throw in a free T-Shirt.

Two birds, one stone.

Would be nice to have a tee with boobs...Err,I mean a tee for us,the MR women. :lol: I don't want to wear a men's t-shirt.

I'd love a black tee with a visible logo on it.In white & red maybe...
Once the logos are set,can we order what color we prefer?

This style's nice..Not too tight,not too loose...T-shirt (funny logo... :lol: )And baby dolls too!

The zip up hoodie also looks good ...Hoodie

Saw they make wall clocks,that would be a good choice for us who work in offices.

Oh,the BBQ apron!LOL! BBQ (MR.com - If you wanna know what's cookin') :P

A tote bag would be nice.TB

And mugs,definitely.God knows how many of us sip tons of coffee while reading the morning MR. :shock:

Anyway,just suggestions.I'm looking forward to buy a few MR products! 8)

this is what I'm getting prices on right now.

T-shirts
Long sleeve shirts
Staff shirts
Tank tops
Baby doll T's
Baseball hats

There is also a screen set up charge for the initial order. Once we get that done there won't be any screen setup anymore unless we change the layout.

That's it for now. Trying not to get too ridiculous cause this all is gonna cost the bat cash to get started with.

Chief - it's cool mate....you are looking at one avenue for this and I'm looking at another (which I have been meaning to do for ages....)

The Cafe Press option allows for anything to be offered in a shop front and if no one buys, no big deal. The best thing about those guys is that nothing has to be pre-manufactured.
But I like your list of essentials also.

Let's keep it running and see where we end up.

I'm all for Cafepress, they have good quality stuff. The ASH grey short sleeve shirts are excellent heavy quality, the basic whites aren't bad either.

Oh, and the Wife sends you all her approval on the thongs from there. She says they're great, and I agree. :wink:

I've bought various things from Cafe Press. I've only ever had one problem ( a large shirt that wouldn't fit my then-5-yr-old!) and they exchanged it without a fuss.
Everything else has been wonderful, so I'm all for that!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive well preserved body,but rather to skid in sideways,wine and chocolate in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "what a ride!"

maybe those of use who have products from cafepress should model them and post pics here, to see the quality... unfortunately, the wife won't model the thongs, sorry guys. :lol:

haven't had a chance to check out the types of tees that cafe press offers. i'll investigate in a couple hours. it's maroon5 mayhem here right now!

what i initially had in mind was a 2-color graphic on the front of a men's tee & a babydoll tee - both in black.

MEN'S
hanes authentic tagless or comfort tee
or
american apparel 2001 fine jersey short-sleeve

WOMEN'S
american apparel 4305 baby rib basic short-sleeve

or something comparable.

LMAO!! Cyndy, you could do the modeling!
