Mumsnet merchandise - your input needed please

[JustineMumsnet]

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

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

[ChippingInLovesAutumn]

Ignores Stuart who only thinks he's nailed down the starting merchandise - he's got a lot to learn 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 :)

Earrings with on, would be fab.

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

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.

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

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

[Sparklingbrook]

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.

[Tee2072]

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

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

[RubyRR]

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

[sunbathe]

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

[MmeLindor]

Tea towels, I like that idea

[sunbathe]

[SixtyFootDoll]

Baby vests/ bibs with PFB on?

[Treasures]

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

[MoldieOldNaiceHam]

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

[Frettchen]

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.

[sunbathe]

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.

[ScienceRocks]

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 ) but I would use a tea towel that had a list of mn acronyms on. I'm also quite like some mn notecards please.

[KatieScarlett2833]

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

[choccyp1g]

No, just NO don't do any merchandise.

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

[Willemdefoeismine]

What about a small pin which shows one's allegiance to MN......It could change on a yearly basis (a bit like the on-trend scarf!)...

[EldritchCleavage]

Horrific idea. MN is my dirty little secret, I'm not going to announce to the world that I spend my days on here by wearing MN merchandise.

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

I would love a tshirt saying

or one that says "did you mean to be so rude" on the front and "DFONTAD" on the back.

[StuartMumsnet]

sunbathe how about one of those rulers which showed different pictures depending on which way you tipped it, and which you invariably bought in the zoo gift shop after a school trip (or am I showing my great age?)?

T Shirts. Hoodies. Mugs. Totes. Random tat from the London Zoo Gift Shop.

Anything else?

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Oo, ooh, ooh, or MNs own line of pants with a small tab on the back for judgy hiking!
