No. This is not a late St. Patrick’s Day post. This is about Earth Month. And we want you to join us in raising awareness and getting green! Here’s the story: Earth Day actually is a thing already: It is April 22nd and usually celebrated with planting trees, picking up roadside trash, conducting various programs for recycling and conservation, using recyclable containers for snacks and lunches. Some people are encouraged to sign petitions to governments, calling for stronger or immediate action to stop global warming and to reverse environmental destruction. We thought: go green or go home! Which is why we are making the whole month of April about the environment and we have awesome stuff coming up for you.

We are beginning our green month with 10% on your personalized apron. Suit up for garden and spring cleaning and save 10% on your personalized apron now. Enter voucher code: THUMBSUP when checking out. Beginning today through April 10th.

Of course just giving some percent off on aprons is a bit easy and we are serious about Earth Month. We will be greening up our terrace by planting all types of plants together, there will be a big fleamarket at the German Spreadshirt headquarters in order to get rid off some old clothes and returns others may still want. And we have some more fun and ecofriendly things coming up for you. Make sure to come back for more information on our Earth Month.

By the way: We have great ecofriendly apparel in our assortment. Check out the Ecofriendly Cotton Tote Bag or for example the Unisex Organic Lightweight Heather T-Shirt.

Last week we ran Spreadshirt Springweek on Facebook and had a great exclusive offer each day for our fans. We let our first spring walks, the first Spreadshirt BBQ lunch and the weather inspire our deals. We really enjoyed the Spreadshirt Springweek but we are wondering how you feel about it. We are curios about your feedback.First we have two videos for you to watch again. We had 12kg for our first BBQ of the year, which meant 12% discount for you all. And some of the Spreaders came together for a “Spreadshirt Egg Blow Out” to see who can do the most eggs in 3 Minutes. The codes or not valid anymore, but the videos are still fun to watch. continue reading ‘Facebook Springweek is over. Again, again!’

Some are already starting to look forward to the big sports event of the year: the Olympic Games in London. But before you start creating new designs to honor the event, we would like to direct your attention to the legal side of things. It is a bit tricky, so it’s really important to ensure that your shop and/or designs do not violate any copyrights.

Today is World Thank You Day, a chance to thank the people you don’t say “thank you” to often enough. And we came up with quite some things we would like to thank you for. Some Spreaders came infront of the camera to thank you in behalf of the whole Spreadshirt staff. Thank you all for making Spreadshirt what it is!
Here’s the video:

We are curious to find out what you are thankful for. Comment and let us know!

I know, I know. Thanksgiving is still weeks away and here we are dressing in red and green and talking to you about Christmas gifts. Look at it this way: wouldn’t you rather have your gift list sorted, without even putting much effort in? And not stress out mid-December? We thought we’d make this holiday shopping experience a bit easier on you and will lend a couple of helping hands. Our Gift Finder will provide you with individualized and custom gift ideas hand-picked just for you!

We not only countless custom clothing possibilities available on our platform, we’ll also help you find just the right one. There’s no supercomputer behind our Gift Finder using some IT guy’s algorithm to sort you out with “best-sellers”. No, no, we’ve got real live humans elves that will search through our Marketplace by hand and even take the time to personalize a gift idea for you.

Our elves are at the ready at their computers until November 30th to provide you with custom gift ideas. Just like our Shirt DJ on Facebook, you give us little info to help us along our search and we’ll send you a (non-binding) gift idea for that person. So, take our Gift Finder for a test drive – and perhaps you’ll have your Christmas list checked off before you even started creating one!

Before we get too far ahead of ourselves and start thinking about Christmas (too late…), let’s take a look back at our Halloween raffle contest and see who won!

The mustache is back in style. Yes, the mustache. November is now officially known as “Movember,” the month that celebrates the mighty mo. But Movember isn’t your typical mustache awareness month. It’s strangely not about mustaches. It’s about men’s health awareness, specifically prostate cancer awareness and other cancers that affect men. The mustache, as they say, is in the details.

The Movember challenge is simple: grow, trim, and wax your mustache for 30 days starting November 1 and raise men’s health awareness through your epic stache. Here are the official rules from the Movember website:

1. Start on November 1 clean shaven. No beard-overs from past months of lazy shaving.

2. Grow your mo for the next 30 days.

3. No joining the mustache to any other facial hair (i.e. the sideburns or chin hair)

4. Get everyone who asks or comments about your mustache or mustache t-shirt to donate to any men’s health charity organization.

Now, sporting a mustache isn’t for everyone. I’m thinking women and those with some semblance of self-respect. For the non-mustache wearers, there is perhaps a much easier way to show your solidarity with the men’s health movement: wear a mustache t-shirt from Spreadshirt.

We have an awesome assortment of mustache t-shirts, so be sure to check them out and gear up for the greatest Movember ever. Mustache rides and mustache superheroes are just a few of the custom designs Spreadshirt specializes in. These mustache t-shirts are awesome conversation starters. It’s never been easier to raise awareness about men’s health issues: grow a stache and sport the mo t-shirt. Mustache season is now officially open.

We’re celebrating Halloween this year with some extra special treats (and tricks!). Starting today, you can head to our Halloween page to find out if you get a trick or a treat. Some of our daily surprise treats are:

• Spreadshirt vouchers
• Horror movie DVD package
• Special colour sales

• Free t-shirts from selected shop partners
• And much more!

Join in on the fun! Each and every day until October 31st you can try your chance at getting a trick or a treat! Simply head to our Trick or Treat page and you’ve got a 50/50 chance. If you’ve been tricked, simply come back the next day and try your chances again! Have fun!

Create your own Ipad Sleeve and save 15% only today. Steffen explains why this Ipad sleeve is always by his side. Coupon code: BAGWEEK6

Anybody who owns an iPad will surely know it only too well: Trying to find the perfect carrier for your most beloved companion can be like finding a needle in a haystack. There is now a huge selection of all sorts of sleeves and covers available, but it’s still tough finding the right model for you.
It certainly wasn’t easy for me, and I now own a whole bunch of different bags/protective cases for my iPad. One of them is the iPad Sleeve. The sleeve looks extremely sleek and simple so it does a great job of mirroring that optical appeal of Apple’s products. But there’s a large printable surface so any creative types out there have plenty of room to let their imagination run wild. The sleeve opens and closes using Velcro, so it’s extremely quick to get into but very secure when it’s closed and you’re on the move. Seeing as you normally use an iPad with no (or very few) accessories, there aren’t any extra compartments. That helps to keep the sleeve nice and small, so my iPad doesn’t take up too much space in my bag. The iPad Sleeve is definitely my first choice when it comes to securely transporting my iPad. Whether under my arm or in my big messenger bag, my iPad is always totally protected and it looks great.
