Mumsnet merchandise - your input needed please

595 replies

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

We're on the case with tote bags. If we can, we'll do them. That's basically a T shirt with handles, right?

RubyRR · 15/11/2013 15:21

Judge pants which go up to your neck, think big pants possible with arm holes to keep them hoisted really high.

MrsKitty · 15/11/2013 15:21

Grin GrinGrin at goofyisacow and what she gives to random MNetter's sons...

I think the shopping bag is a great idea (sorry Stuart, I know it's not a tee or hoodie, but I think you might be barking up the wrong tree with those...)

RubyRR · 15/11/2013 15:20

A lemon drizzle cake cake tin, it's all about the memories and associations I think.

I think I'd like a mug with a wooly hug picture on it, wrapped round the outside so it looked knitted, please pick that idea as I really need a knitted look mug and I think it would show the warmer side of mumsnet.

It has been a crash course in MN in-jokery, that's for sure. In the clothing catalogue I can find some lovely gilets and even a wolf howling at the moon fleece. I have not yet seen whatever it is a "judgy pant" might be. :)

HectorVector · 15/11/2013 15:16

Ohhhh and as someone said up thread I reckon I'd buy a biscuit tin with a Biscuit on,

thegreylady · 15/11/2013 15:15

Some big judgy pants
Some fake pearls to hoik as well and a 'biscuit' badge :)

coppertop · 15/11/2013 15:14

I'd like a mug with a troll design and 'Trip Trap' under.

Or a hairy-handed trucker mug (hairy hand next to a picture of a truck?)

snice · 15/11/2013 15:14

he has opened a can of worms he could not have imagined-we are busy designing products willy nilly

sunbathe · 15/11/2013 15:14

I wouldn't buy clothing, but the mug with Hmm or YANBU/YABU.

Tiny badge would be good. A range of designs, small and discreet.

I'm not into the clothing, it's too obvious.

Indith · 15/11/2013 15:09

Do you think Stuart has gone to find a brick wall to bash his head against yet? "I TOLD THEM IT WAS JUST CLOTHES AND MUGS AND THEY KEEP GOING ON ABOUT PLANNERS AND BAGS!" Justine will have to patch him up and feed him gin.

Patchouli · 15/11/2013 15:09

I'd quite like something with Hmm on.
And I like the organiser, meal planner / shopping list notebook idea.

Meglet · 15/11/2013 15:09

I'd like a white mug with the Hmm face. And the inside of the mug to be mumsnet blue (like tiffany blue but swearier and fewer diamonds).

Merrylegs · 15/11/2013 15:08

'That's my parking space!'

(toddler T shirt)

Charleymouse · 15/11/2013 15:07

Out of the items you list a mug would be the only one I would buy.

Deffo would buy the shopping bag, also magnetic shopping list and pen for the fridge!

YoniMatopoeia · 15/11/2013 15:06

Oops for unwanted caps.

YoniMatopoeia · 15/11/2013 15:05

TSSDNCOP. I WANT one with that.

MikeTheShite · 15/11/2013 15:02

and pj's and babygros sound a good idea x

TheDoctrineOfWho · 15/11/2013 15:01

Stuart, PM SGB for her thoughts - she's done badges in the past.

HectorVector · 15/11/2013 14:53

I wouldn't buy clothes. But reusable shopping bags, book bags etc... with 'in' acronyms on maybe. Maybe a mug. A well organised diary and/or calendar, pen, shopping list book, notebooks etc...

MmeLindor · 15/11/2013 14:50

I don't think I would wear a tshirt or a hoody. Might wear a comfy pair of PJs.

And fluffy slippers.

Are you SURE this isn't Gransnet?

Suddengeekgirl · 15/11/2013 14:48

I would like to choose a mug with my favourite MN smiley on. Confused
I'd also like to have YABU written on the bottom for those PA moments when someone is pissing me off!

Don't think I would buy MN clothing but the bag for life would be fab!

Sparklingbrook · 15/11/2013 14:42

Keyrings and pens would be good.

Antidote · 15/11/2013 14:38

I would definitely buy mugs and a shopping bag.

I would also buy YABU baby grows.

MikeTheShite · 15/11/2013 14:38

I agree I would do a mug and biscuit tin
