Mumsnet merchandise - your input needed please

Hi all

After years of being asked to come up with MN merchandise and (aside from some incredibly tight t-shirts with virtual mother on them way back in the early-2000s) pretty much sticking our collective fingers in our ears, we've finally found someone who can help us produce and sell a qualiteee online range - hopefully available in time for Christmas. And we're looking for your input.

We reckon a range of T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and mugs with Mumsnet in-jokes/ popular phrases - which is what folks have mentioned in the past - but is there anything else we've collectively missed? And what do you want on them? A T-shirt telling all and sundry to LTB? A mug asking whether YABU? A hoody announcing that it' really best to RTFT?

Ideas very much welcome please Grin

No, just NO don't do any merchandise.

Can I have 50P for every item you don't sell?

KatieScarlett2833 · 15/11/2013 16:03

All I want is a MN scarf with the logo all over it like the butterfly one. In MN Blue.

ScienceRocks · 15/11/2013 16:00

Can we have colour changing mugs that say AIBU when cold and LTB when hot please?

Wouldn't wear anything mney (I have boden for that Wink) but I would use a tea towel that had a list of mn acronyms on. I'm also quite like some mn notecards please.

Can we have one of those water filled pens with our choice of emoticon in it, that slides up and down?

I really like those. My favourite pen at the moment is like that, with a Stena ferry in it.

Frettchen · 15/11/2013 15:55

Seconding (or thirding or whatever) the idea of a mug with TSSDNCOP on it.

Otherwise I'd happily wear a MN hoodie depending on what was on it... Gonna have a think about what should go on a hoodie. Will be back.

MoldieOldNaiceHam · 15/11/2013 15:54

I wouldn't be caught dead in a Mumsnet t-shirt or hoody. HTH Grin

Treasures · 15/11/2013 15:52

I would happily wear a tee with ODFOD and Hmm on it. I'd wear it when I knew I'd be spending time with people who piss me off.

SixtyFootDoll · 15/11/2013 15:51

Baby vests/ bibs with PFB on?

sunbathe · 15/11/2013 15:50
MmeLindor · 15/11/2013 15:49

Tea towels, I like that idea

sunbathe · 15/11/2013 15:48

Pens, notebook and coasters I like the idea of, too.

RubyRR · 15/11/2013 15:43

My first ever biscuit should feature on something, as though the first one is more important than a second, third etc.

Tee2072 · 15/11/2013 15:43

Also, I like MMeL's idea. I forgot to say that.

Poor Stuart. Thrown right into the deep end. Gin, Wine and Cake for him!

Sparklingbrook · 15/11/2013 15:42

StuartMN will be starting his own AIBU in a minute. It's hoodies, sweatshirts T-Shirts and Mugs only at the moment. And maybe a tote bag. Grin

Tee2072 · 15/11/2013 15:41

I'm a little nervous about all this talk about choosing Tee(s)... Grin

I suppose a tee with one of those big red circles and line through the Netmums logo is out of the question?

RubyRR · 15/11/2013 15:40

I could not seeing myself wearing the funnier acronyms as T shirts, what about tea towels? Not very exciting but lemon drizzle cake (LDC) for interpretation on the C, AIBU, WWYD, or even a towel set out as classic board/any other board obviously not sensitive ones. LTB would be good too in case we ever don't do exactly 50% fair share of housework. Could keep toMN colours as they will suit my kitchen.

sunbathe · 15/11/2013 15:38

Earrings with Hmm on, would be fab.

Those rubber band bracelets with emoticons on. I fancy a row of Hmms with maybe some wee humphy brackets next to them. < >

ChippingInLovesAutumn · 15/11/2013 15:36

Ignores Stuart who only thinks he's nailed down the starting merchandise - he's got a lot to learn Grin and I think if he doesn't reconsider, his wife should definitely put a mug in his stocking...

I wouldn't buy clothes, I might buy a mug if it was a nice fine china mug not an ugly chunky thing.

I would definitely buy...

Teeny tiny badge (no bigger than a 20p piece)

The MN Mug emoticon gets my vote.

Tea Towels

I would buy good quality white 100% cotton tea-towels with lots of different phrases written all over it (white with MN blue printing) - like the ones they use for the kids drawings at Christmas.

Bag for life

Like these or these proper shopping bags - with any of the sayings really, but I'd like 'I'd rather be MNing :)'

Also the light roll up ones like these

Plus other random stuff - but I don't want to overwhelm poor Stuart :)

moominleigh94 · 15/11/2013 15:35

Lemon Drizzle Cunt merchandise! I could go for some LDC cunt bunting Grin

RubyRR · 15/11/2013 15:29

Baby grows with PFB on? The perfect gift. Also child's size DS or DD T shirts, I'm not sure I'd take my children out in them (they are teens and just wouldn't) but younger ones at soft play you could play spot the MNer.
What about an iPad case or phone case with just for MNing on? People could tell their children it was a mumsnet tablet.

Indith · 15/11/2013 15:28

woolly hug stuff would be lovely. and yes yes to money going to a good cause.

MmeLindor · 15/11/2013 15:27

Only problem would be, that I wouldn't be able to use the WoollyMug without weeping into my tea.

Can we copyright that as MNWoollyMug please?

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 15/11/2013 15:26

I'd buy a mumsnet mug and would be tempted by a small pin with the mn logo on it so I could wear it subversively, but other MNers would know.

I'd have to see the clothing before I knew if I wanted to buy it.

MmeLindor · 15/11/2013 15:26

Could we go with RubyRR's idea of the WoollyHugs and have something like this, with MN logo on the handle or the base, and a % of the proceeds going to the WoollyHug team?

I would buy lots of those.
