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

last time everyone went nuts for this and then I think sales were.... disappointing

What annoys me most about family organisers is all the ones which are all "organised mum" "mum's special calendar" "just because mum is Secretary of State for overseas development doesn't let her off the fact that she has ovaries and is the only one who can do this stuff"

So I'd like a planner that says
"MN family calendar:

It May Say Mum on it But You Still Have To Remember Your Own Sodding Swim Kit"

How about a t-shirt with 'clutches pearls' on one side and 'won't anyone think of the CHILDREN?' on the other. Or similar mug. Grin

CakeBotherer · 16/11/2013 18:33

I want a 'Oh Do FUCK of dear' mug.

Pretty please, with vodka in.

TheFowlAndThePussycat · 16/11/2013 18:48

Or hoody with 'longtime lurker' on it.

I'd love a nest of vipers shirt.

FoxPass · 16/11/2013 19:07

I'd love a YABU hoodie for toddler DS Grin

and yy to a naice shopping bag. And a mug with the smileys.

ZenNudist · 16/11/2013 19:21

A range of ramekins with popular mn phrases on: yabu, yanbu, hth, rtft, ltb & [hugs] accompanied with appropriate emotes

MrsCakesPremonition · 16/11/2013 19:29

An MN bobble dish.

ControlGeek · 16/11/2013 19:30

Ooh if a ramekin range is ever created, please could we have one that says PIAR or BFP?

ControlGeek · 16/11/2013 19:39

...or along the same lines, but less obvious, 'Classy Bird' (again ramekin related)

cocobongo · 16/11/2013 20:52

what about a range of pregnancy tests with "POAS" on them?

Thecircle · 16/11/2013 21:07

Oooh I like merchandise!

I'd love a plain old mumsnet logo on a mug but have seen mugs with messages on the bottom so as you drink them the message appears.

The one I saw said cunt actually. So MN logo and as you drink "DFOD" "did you mean to be so rude" "LTB" and please please make something with "T-rexing in asda" on

Thecircle · 16/11/2013 21:09

And KLAXON

MrsShrek3 · 16/11/2013 22:53

speaking of KLAXON..... a car window sticker?

Willemdefoeismine · 17/11/2013 08:13

I would like to think that Mumsnetters are far too stylish to want to wear sweatshirts/t-shirts except in an ironic manner.

I can imagine having a stylish note-pad with some classic Mumsnet pearl upon it.....

And the idea of a Mumsnet Family Organiser is spot on!

NomDeClavier · 17/11/2013 10:03

Definitely yes to a special PIAR ramekin. That way it's very clearly identifiable!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 17/11/2013 10:45

Ooooooooooo

HellsBellsnBucketsofBlood · 17/11/2013 10:54

a mug saying yabu on one side and yanbu on the other I would buy.

I love this idea. I could have it at work. Happy thoughts.

nettie · 17/11/2013 10:55

Just made cup of tea in my vintage "in cdo we tsrut" mug. Would love a new one as it is a bit chipped and tea stained.

Would love a nest of vipers one or wooly hugs.

Might buy t shirt for sleeping in, but not interested in hoodie.

I love the idea of a small pin/badge that would only be recognizable to other mumsnetters.

NoComet · 17/11/2013 10:59

No thanks, l write far too much personal stuff to advertise being on here and setting the school gossips looking

Selks · 17/11/2013 11:27

Please can hoodies and t shirts include larger sizes! Ta.

nearlyreadytopop · 17/11/2013 13:22

this is awesome. hi stuart
Please no mention of penisbeaker.

I would like a notepad that has a different mn saying for each day please.
Or post-it notes with sayings and acronyms.
I wouldn't wear a t shirt or hoody but I can see how one that said 'I am Anyfucker' would be coolGrin
And naice wine.
Car sticker that looks like a lovely bunch of flowers but on closer inspection are vipers.
Wooly hug style hats and scarves.
Smile

scottishmummy · 17/11/2013 13:31

It's a ghastly idea,hamming up the tired ole phrases and it's so mumsy
And mn joggy,yes I suppose the schoolmate gym bunnies could don that
I love amazon,and the bbc but I'd purchase branded item proclaiming this

scottishmummy · 17/11/2013 13:35

I love amazon,and the bbc but I'd not purchase branded item proclaiming this
Can't imagine owning google merchandise
I can't see the attraction of mn merchandising at all

KoalaFace · 17/11/2013 13:56

scottishmummy I haven't seen you for ages! I agree about the Google/Amazon thing but MN is more of a community and has "in" jokes so some people will like it.

It's the crude kitchenware that I think is funny.
