Mumsnet merchandise - your input needed please

You're assuming I've never been stalked online. You assume wrong. I just don't give a flying fuck about who knows what about me as I don't put anything on the internet that I wouldn't talk about at the top of voice in the middle of church on Christmas Day, even under a name change.

I think a tote bag with MN shopping list would be brilliant.

Yes, OFRS is Oh Fuck Ruck Sack. For the zombie or other apocalypse.

I believe it's an 'Oh Fuck Rucksack' for the zombie apocalypse or something

I don't know what OFRS IS

I would definitely buy the shopping bag with Cutted Up Pear written on it.

Are all MNetters going to get personalised bags then?

Can the shopping bag with the list on have 'cutted up pear' on it too?

I might buy a mumsnet scarf or a secret pin badge.

I love the idea for the WoollyMug, and I reeeeeeaaaaallly want a genuine, all singing all dancing OFRS. A tote bag with OFRS on it would do though Also loving the idea of a mn scarf with 'this is a genuine mn scarf' on it in tiny writing as a pp has suggested. When I first joined mn there was so much talk about the mn scarf that I honestly thought one existed, and spent ages googling to try and see what it looked like

If you can do car stickers, can you do one that says 'If you can read this, YABU' - or maybe on the bottom of a mug? I'd love to take a judicious swig of coffee and flash this while DinkBoss is BU!

Love the peanut butter analogy!

Sparkling - no she wasn't, as far as I know. Unless she was better disguised than me of course!!

What about mn onesies? Same supplier as hoodies could provide, they could have all the classic phrases, yet they are more 'personal' ie worn on the sofa not in a shopping centre or cinema? Only my dh and best friend would ever see me in a onesie!

it wasnt cheap was it.
Good Old Maude. I hop Ggglimpopo is doing well

Will the hoodies be purple and warm/fleecy? Might get one for gardening in (the only time I wear a hoodie and always buy dark colours). It could say "mumsnetter at work" or "viper since {YEAR}" perhaps?

I'd buy a mug with the MN logo on printed with "this too shall pass" - making it a naice thermal one so the cuppa stays hot would be genius

When the range expands past t-shirts/hoodies/mugs i would buy

• A tea towel
• A little brooch (teeny though...I think a mumsnet blue pombear has been suggested in the past, on a previous thread).
• A scarf in MN blue printed with pale grey pombears
• A MN blue cake tin with Naice Cake on one side and "no LDC here " on the other
• a car sticker in MN blue saying "keep your distance - viper on board"

If any of my ideas are taken forward I would like to donate the proceeds to Refuge/Women's Aid/Woolly Hugs please

Well found :)

I remember all that stuff from Mile for Maude. I hadn't realised it was still around. Clearly I'd forgotten about the shopping list bag, wasn't trying to pass it off as my own genius original idea . Quite fancy a bag with the LDC recipe on it.

And bizarrely stalkers even love the prosaic stuff. Not juicy gossip.

tee. Stalkers. Till you've experienced it you wouldn't get it.

Shopping list bag.

pedant mug.

In fact, it's all still available on spreadshirt.

Yes, Giraffeski, there was a whole bunch of merchandise when we were all doing Mile For Maude. There was definitely a shopping bag with a "naice ham" shopping list on it, I remember.

Didn't you do this a few years ago? Like, at least six or seven? I had a mug which just had

< pedant >

on it. I liked it very much and I broke it eventually but I wish I had another one so can you reproduce it please?

There were other things you could buy though, think it was a cafe press shop, but I thought it was a MNHQ sanctioned thing, perhaps it wS to raise money for charity or something, ggglimpopo springs to mind?

Have not read the entire thread so don't know whether this has been said but how about

What's Your Favourite

I name changed for twenty minutes last week as a joke. I didn't like it.

Yes Sparkling, that's it, actually. People post on here because they think they are anonymous. But you are never anonymous on the web. Not unless you name change every day or for every post.

And if you're that paranoid? The internet is proabaly not the place for you anyway.

I suppose it depends how you post. I have never put anything on here that it would bother me if anyone knew me IYKWIM.

MN is like eating peanut butter by dipping your fingers in the jar. Delicious, addictive, perfectly nutritious, something you might share with the right person at the right time, but not an activity that you would actually broadcast to the world.

I did not hide my MNing at first (peanut butter sandwich), but after being identified several times I realised that I valued my anonymity (turned into a peanut butter finger dipper).

500. Were they a Mnetter too?

By accumulation of small facts here and there that all fitted together, a few might be co incidence but not the whole lot. Things like, for example 'oh I live by a motorway too' or 'yes
My neighbour decided to erect a 15ft fence' or 'my child was 21 months when potty trained' etc. and a very cryptic original username, that easnt at all cryptic once the friend suspected it was me; it became obvious.

How though 500? How did they find you? That's what intrigues me.
