Tee Shirts Are Hot Items for Post-Holiday Shopping
Copyright 2006 Anthony Palladino
The holidays are over, but the post-holiday sales are spurring
plenty of shopping activity. No matter what the occasion is,
there is one failsafe, practical, sure to please gift - a tee
shirt.
We all wear tee shirts. At some point in the week, we find
ourselves in a tee shirt. For some, it's at the gym or while
exercising, or out to dinner, donning a nicely fitted tee shirt
under a sport coat. Others find themselves in a really
comfortable tee shirt, just lounging around on the weekend,
sporting something that's casual, easy, and clean. And for
another crowd, a tee shirt is the best nightgown or pajamas
money can buy.
Some tee shirts become mementos. They remind us of a certain
trip or vacation, tease us that we were once young and in
college in the class of 19XX, or make us feel good about
participating in a walk a thon or corporate charity event.
But for the majority of tee shirt wearing folks today, it's
become the uniform of style. A solid color tee shirt goes well
under just about anything. In an increasingly growing sector of
the tee shirt market, custom designed tee shirts are becoming a
fashion and personal statement.
Tee shirts are now available with raunchy or very controversial
messages, sure to create a look of amazement and a few raised
eyebrows from HR when you show up wearing an offensive tee shirt
to a company party or a neighbor's get together. Search cool
t-shirts, filthy tee shorts, or music tee shirts for some
examples. These can be fun and worth a good laugh or spark a
heated discussion, but may not be suitable for all audiences.
Another emerging custom tee shirt category offers original works
of art interpretations of the famous people, or Icons, of our
times. Many companies offer them, and you can find your choice
from searching on Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, or any search engine
you choose. One such company is Icon Tees, who says, "Icon is
about You, It's about me, It's about all of us.....There are no
restrictions, just representations. Say what you want without
speaking. Your body is your billboard." Icon Tees offers 100%
original, one of a kind designed tee shirts featuring icons of
past and present. Their tee shirts include figures whose
prominence ranges from the art world to the underworld and from
biblical times to present day. They can be worn to the club,
around campus, or just about anywhere.
No matter what the occasion, a tee shirt is a great gift. Here
are the top 10 reasons why:
1. Tee shirts come in all shapes and sizes, so you can find one
to fit any size, shape, style of person.
2. They are practical. We wear them and will get use out of
them, whether in and around town or to bed - they get worn.
3. You can dress them up or down. With jeans or under a sport
coat, tee shirts are always in style.
4. They can make a statement. Like Icon Tees says, "Say what you
want without speaking."
5. You can avoid insulting someone with a tee shirt gift. A diet
book as a gift may earn you a slap or pair of jeans that are two
sizes two small can really ruin a romantic evening.
6. Tee shirts are easy to order and wrap. Click away, then tuck
in a box, throw into a bag, or just cover with some paper. This
is a wrap job any shopper can do.
7. You can start your own trend with a tee shirt. Who knows? It
may become so popular that even Donald Trump may come out with
his own tee shirt line.
8. Online Etailers offer original designs with images, phrases,
statements, artwork, or even icons like Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Bruce Lee, Notorious BIG, Frank Sinatra, Madonna, Marilyn
Monroe, Kurt Cobain, Jesus Christ, Run DMC, John Gotti, and
Mohammed Ali that will suit any age or taste.
9. They are really affordable and a great value for the money.
And if it's a good tee shirt, it will earn the wearer a
compliment - and that will put you in their good graces for
another year.
10. Tee shirts are just cool....
So if you are out there looking for a great post holiday,
birthday, or just because gift (or if you need a little
something to go with that new pair of jeans), go online and
click away. Tee Shirts are always a great gift, no matter what
the shopping occasion.
