What a teenager actually wears
At this age, a gift is judged in front of their friends. Accessories go down better than a t-shirt with their face printed large: they get worn every day and the design stays discreet.
- The cap, : a small cut-out photo of their dog, their football or their friends, on the front. Understated, and therefore wearable.
- The bucket hat, : for the teen who already has one, or wants one. A photo with the background removed, or a repeated pattern.
- The tote bag, $35.00: for school, sport or shopping, with a photo of their friends or their band.
- The mug, $23.00: for their room, with their pet or an in-joke from the group. The smallest budget.
A photo that isn't cringe
The safest rule: it should be a photo they would have chosen themselves. Not the school photo, not the baby-in-the-bath photo, not the family photo where they're sulking.
- Their friends: the group photo they posted themselves, or the one from the last match. Ask one of their friends for it, quietly.
- Their pet: the family dog or cat, cut out with the free background-removal button (“Remove background (AI)” in the studio). The Best dog theme is ready to go.
- Their sport: their silhouette mid-shot, mid-jump, mid-skate trick, cut out and placed on its own. It looks like a logo, not a photo album.
- A style: the Seventies or Polaroid theme gives a retro look that wears well. Avoid long text: one word, a nickname, or nothing at all.
If the photo comes from a story and is small, the sharpening button (“Make the photo sharper (AI)” in the studio) helps. And since the photo is only sent when you order, you can try several versions at no risk.
Sizes: we'd rather be honest
Our t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies come in adult sizes only, S to 2XL. An adult S fits an older teen of 16 or 17; at 13 or 14 it may be too big, unless they like an oversized fit. We have no children's sizes.
Before ordering clothing, compare the flat measurements in our size guide with a sweatshirt they already wear. For an older teen's hoodie, allow $50.00; for a t-shirt, $23.00. If in doubt, stick with the cap, the bucket hat, the tote bag or the mug.
