Shipping is included, so the price simply divides: a sweatshirt split between five is a small share each, and a sweatshirt, cap and mug together still split comfortably between five.

For your best mate, forget the watch or the beer gift set: a photo of the two of you, or the joke only you two get, on something he will actually wear. Sweatshirt $45.00, cap , mug $23.00, shipping included.

Ideas, by item

Between mates, the right gift is the one he brings out in front of everyone else. Choose the item based on what he already wears:

The sweatshirt, $45.00: the photo of you two or the joke, big on the front. Adult sizes from S to 2XL. As a hoodie, $50.00.
The cap, : a small cut-out photo or a word from the group. Low-key enough to wear every day.
The mug, $23.00: the most embarrassing photo of him, for his desk. Ceramic, dishwasher and microwave safe.
The bucket hat, : for the one who does festivals and camping holidays.
T-shirts for the whole group, $23.00: for a group birthday, one t-shirt each with the same joke.

Which photo, which joke

The photo matters more than the item. Look through your camera roll for what belongs only to the two of you.

The photo of you two at school, at your first gig, at a mate's wedding. The older it is, the better it works.
His moment of glory or shame: the fish he caught, his 2012 haircut, the nap on the sofa.
The line he keeps repeating, his nickname, the date of a legendary night out: three words are enough, with one of the ready-made text styles.
The cut-out: the free Remove background (AI) button isolates his head so you can drop it onto the Seventies theme, or onto the big-number template (« Gros chiffre » in the studio) for his age.

Mistakes to avoid

A joke that misses shows straight away. A few safeguards:

The joke he cannot wear: if the sweatshirt could never leave his bedroom, go for a mug.
The photo that makes him squirm in front of his girlfriend, his parents or his workplace. Embarrassing and funny, yes; humiliating, no.
The wrong size: check the label on a sweatshirt he wears, then compare with the size guide. If in doubt, go for the cap.
The blurry photo pulled from an old chat: try Make the photo sharper (AI), and check the preview before you order.

Birthday or no occasion at all

For his birthday, printing and delivery take 5 to 10 working days in the UK, Europe and the US, up to 15 elsewhere: order at least two weeks before the party. You can have it delivered to your place to hand it over in person, or straight to him if he lives far away.

With no occasion, a surprise gift works too: for his 30th, his house move, or just because the photo was too good not to. In December, order by Thursday 10 December to have it for Christmas in Europe; elsewhere, allow up to 15 working days and order by early December.

Prices include shipping, no minimum order. Printed one by one to order near the delivery address, delivered in 5 to 10 working days in the UK, Europe and the US, up to 15 elsewhere.
