[Phpwomen] PHPWomen Merchandise: Good Idea?

[Tess Barnes]

Hi all,

coming late to the discussion! I like the idea of t-shirts, mugs, 
mousemats and purple teddybears. Maybe even personalised mini t-shirts 
to fit your existing code-monkey?

looking online:

http://www.tshirtstudio.com/personalised/youdesign.asp
seem to be based in the UK but ship overseas, no idea of extra cost 
though. Nice that they have more than just white for their t-shirts and 
also v-neck and camis for those of us who don't normally wear round 
necked t's. They do mugs teddys etc too, no idea how the cost matches 
though.

specialise in bears but they look a)large to ship and b) expensive

another cheaper uk bears site that ship overseas - no purple teddys though!

these guys do all the corporate gifts but have min orders and bulk 
delivery prices?

I also like the idea of a t-shirt to package with the cookery book - 
limited edition with a special design - cooking up the best code...

I suppose what we really need is a print on demand t-shirt (mug, teddy 
etc) service. Looking under that found:

Is this close to you Lorna?

Hope all this helps?
