Take a look at the click rates on my fairly new tshirt deal blog tjunction http://tjunction.hiphipuk.co.uk/, a single post with very little actual content other than here's a deal, can net you 50-80 referrals. That might not seem a lot, but the traffic is very specific, its people looking to buy tshirts. They are valuable referrals.

But, do you really generate more traffic with blogposting? I`m quite new at posting in blogs, but I think you`re right, pre-written content does not make reading posts interesting.

As Joe and Adam point out, stagger your emails to these blogs too. It may mean more work and not blanket coverage, but the bloggers will appreciate it plus it increases the chances of your site getting featured.

Couldn't agree more on the exclusive content part. A chance to preview a new design, give-away, sale or coupon code is a really easy way to get coverage.

I hate getting emails that have obviously been sent to other people that don't make an effort at all to show any interest in what we're doing; it makes me feel like all I am to them is free advertising. Well... to THOSE people, I'm not :P Another tip that you didn't mention is: "Don't contact every single t-shirt blog ever." I know I don't like posting the same thing that everybody else already has, so providing blogs with exclusive content is key. "Send content that is ready to be posted, a blurb or pre-written news item." I personally like to write my posts myself, but it is very useful to be given information that you would like to see posted about your own shirts.
