A graphic tee is one of the few clothing items that works as a gift, because the cut is forgiving and the price sits in a comfortable range. Getting it right comes down to two decisions.
Decision one: the design
Specific beats general, every time. A tee about the person's actual job, dog breed, sport, hobby or hometown gets worn. A generic joke or a broad slogan gets one laugh and then lives in a drawer.
If you do not know their taste well, go smaller and quieter rather than louder. A neutral colour is far more likely to enter the rotation than a loud one you guessed at. Our best sellers are the lowest-risk starting point, and cute graphic tees tend to be the safest tone.
Decision two: the size
This is the one to take seriously. A wrong size can be exchanged within 30 days of delivery, but the return postage is on the recipient. When in doubt, go one size larger: our tees have a relaxed unisex cut, a slightly roomy tee still gets worn, and a tight one does not.
If you can, glance at a tee they already own. The size label is usually on the neck tape or the side seam. Better still, measure it flat and compare it with the size guide. Still unsure? Ask us before you order and we will help you choose.

Timing
Every item is printed after you order it, which takes 1 to 5 business days. Delivery within the US then takes 2 to 7 business days, and international orders take longer. Allow for both before the date you need it, and see shipping and delivery for the details.
If something is wrong with it
If the tee arrives faulty, damaged or misprinted, send us a photo within 30 days of delivery and we will replace it or refund you in full. Wrong size or changed your mind? Unworn items can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of delivery; email us first and we will send you the return instructions. The return postage is on you. Gifts ordered between 1 November and 31 December can be returned until 31 January, so a Christmas present has all of January to come back if it does not fit. The full terms are in our refund policy.
Frequently asked questions
Is a graphic tee a good gift?
Yes, if the design is specific to the person and you take two minutes over the size. A forgiving unisex cut and a reasonable price make it one of the safer clothing gifts.
What size should I buy if I do not know theirs?
Adult medium or large covers most people, and the relaxed fit is forgiving in both directions. Size up rather than down.
Can I send it straight to them?
Yes. Enter their address as the shipping address at checkout. Order early, because production takes 1 to 5 business days before the parcel ships.
What if it does not fit?
The recipient can return it within 30 days of delivery for an exchange to another size or a refund of the item price. Email us first and we will send the return instructions; the return postage is paid by the recipient. Holiday orders get until 31 January. Because return postage adds up, it is worth checking the flat measurements on the product page first. If you are between two sizes, email us and we will help you pick.
