Cafepress Review and Giveaway

Cafepress has to be my FAVORITE online store hands down. I love how you have so many personalized options to make the perfect unique gift every time. One of my favorite things to do is just browse through the various t-shirt designs and some are so funny, while of course some are eh not so funny lol. Now imagine my surprise when Cafepress contacted me to see about hosting a giveaway AND a review for not only me but Owen as well. I was so excited and knew exactly what I was wanting.

Ever since I lost my grandma in 2008, I’ve been eyeballing this design and debating what kind of shirt I wanted. So I knew this was the perfect shirt to pick. I chose the shirt Grandma Angel Jr Tank Top and yes I couldn’t get the photo out with any tears. I really love this shirt and when I’m having my moment of sadness this really is one of the few comforting objects I have.


I ordered this shirt in a Medium and I have to say it’s true to size and fits snug, like Cafepress I would suggest ordering the next size up if your worried about sizes. This shirt is made from

• 6.1 oz 1×1 ribbed combed ring spun cotton
• Side seamed contoured body
• Standard fit

 One thing that I do love is that it does conceal my bra well and that’s something most tank tops do NOT do lol. Nothing worse than having your bra showing.


Next up was Owen’s pick. Now before I show you his shirt I have to tell you the back story. Last year his pre-k class had a class election around the time the real election was going on. I mean they got ‘voter’ cards, stickers saying they voted today and even filled out a ‘ballot’ with their choice. The choices were Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Elmo, and Hello Kitty (I believe). After school I asked him who he voted for. He was ever so proud to say “Mama I voted for Omama.” I was perplexed because we’re not a political family (yes I know but hey I don’t complain about anything so no judging lol) and I was quite shocked. His teacher said they were discussing the real candidates and that lead me to believe he was just picking a name he liked but ever since if you ask him Omama is his best friend. So when we were looking for shirts that is how we landed on this one.

Owen’s shirt Obama Presidential Seal Kids Light T’s and I may be biased but it looks adorable on him. He LOVES it. I think he wore it for a week straight before I could pry it off of him. I didn’t realize how quick that boy was until I tried to get the shirt to the laundry basket before he got out of the tub lol. Of course when I asked him for a photo these were the shots I received lol. Now I realize that his is big on him but with his Obama love I wanted to get something that was big enough that it fit him now but he still had some room to grow into it and decided on the KM. I love how soft the shirt is and it’s easily became one of Owen’s favorite shirts. Like I said he tells everyone that’s his best friend lol. He is so excited that he finally has an Obama shirt that he loves (We’ve been looking for one he adored since last year) and in the end that’s what matters the most lol.
