Star Wars, Buffy, and Other Pop Culture T-Shirts Designed by Independent Artists on Red Bubble!

Red Bubble Star Wars and Buffy T-Shirts
This post has been written in partnership with the Red Bubble Affiliate Program.  Thank you to Red Bubble for providing a gift code for us to shop for t-shirts designed by independent artists and for providing an additional gift code for our giveaway prize.  All opinions expressed are my own.

You know how the story goes . . . boy geek meets girl geek . . . they get married and start their own geeky family.  It's the classic love story, right?  Even though he was a Star Wars fan and she was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, they were determined to make it work.  She went to midnight showings of Star Wars Episode 1 through Episode 3 with him and he admitted that "Hush" was the best Buffy episode ever.

Despite their differences, they were in love.  I know you must have heard this saying a million times, but it is worth repeating:  "True love means walking proudly down the street with a man dressed like a wookie."

Do you and your significant other each have your own pop culture favorites?  Have you learned to co-exist peacefully in spite of your differences?  Well, my husband and I have!  In fact, we actually helped each other pick out Star Wars and Buffy t-shirts from Red Bubble.

Red Bubble offers pop culture t-shirts, hoodies, tech cases, art prints, and more cool items printed with designs created by independent artists.  These artists are so talented and full of so much creativity!  My husband's "Co-Pilot Uniform" Star Wars T-Shirt and my Buffy "Magic Box Advertisment" T-Shirt came with these tags clipped onto them that not only provide the care instructions, but also the name of the design and the link to these particular artists' designs.  My husband and I were extremely pleased with both the artwork and the quality of the shirts.  We will definitely be supporting these artists on Red Bubble again!

Silly Monkey Stories: Where Is Your Off Button?


You parents will know that kids can often be....rambunctious (to say the very least!) and this Father's Day was no exception.

In the morning we went out for breakfast and as always when we prepare to leave the house mayhem ensues. As I am herding the children into the proper seats my oldest Jake says:

“Don’t you wish we had an off button like the t-shirt you have says?” 

This in itself wasn't so odd, but the fact that I did not own such a shirt was.

My youngest son Luke was first to yell at Jake for outing one of my Fathers Day gifts, which turned out to be this Where is Your Off Button? t-shirt.

What the kids do not know is this:  I was thinking the exact same thing about power buttons on children the very moments before all this transpired . . .

Shop 'n' Share: Replenishing My Husband's Geek T-Shirt Collection


This product was purchased with our own funds.  No compensation was received for sharing this shopping experience with our readers, however, this post may contain affiliate links.

My husband's favorite item of clothing to wear is a comfortable t-shirt.  In fact, I think he would be wear a t-shirt every waking minute if his office did not require him to wear a shirt and tie.  A printed t-shirt and a pair of khaki shorts is his uniform 3 months out of the year after work and on the weekends.  Somewhere during our 13 years of marriage, I decided "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em."  I always have my eyes open for t-shirts my husband might like.  My only rule is that I will not buy him white t-shirts anymore because he manages to stain them the very first time he wears them 95% of the time.

A few months ago, my husband discovered LOL Shirts.  He works in IT and is a geek at heart, and he has found tons of geek t-shirts he likes on this site.  This text-based Relax. I can fix it. t-shirt and one that says I'm here because you broke something. are his favorites to wear to work on casual Fridays.  There is always some kind of promotion going on at LOL Shirts and shipping is just $2 per shirt, so I don't mind helping my husband to replace some of his t-shirts that have become stained or worn.

Some of the shirts on this site are available in up to a size 5X.  My husband likes his shirts loose, so I usually buy a 3X for him.  There is an additional cost of just $.99 for size XXL and XXXL shirts.  On average, one shirt would cost me roughly $10, give or take one or two dollars based on the current promotion.  If you're looking for an affordable Father's Day gift this year, whether it be from you or your children, a shirt from LOL Shirts would be a great way to go.

By the way, each of my children's teachers will be receiving a teaching-themed t-shirt for their end of the year teacher's gift that they can wear all summer long.  Be sure to check those out if you are still in need of a gift for your child's teacher.  For a limited time, you can receive $5 off each shirt plus free shipping when you checkout using Promo Code: 5OFFEVERYTHING!

As always, if you shop, be sure to come back and tell me what you purchased!

Geek Review: ThinkGeek Extreme Monkey-Powered Awesomeness T-Shirt


I am not just monkey powered, and I am not just awesome, and I am certainly not just extreme....I am......EXTREME MONKEY-POWERED AWESOMENESS and people need to be warned of that. Can you imagine the mayhem that could ensue if people weren’t forewarned of this?

I love ThinkGeek. Really, ThinkGeek is the kind of company that I always imagined I would start if I wanted to own my own business. They just seem tuned into my inner (heck, outer) geek. Without exaggeration I can say they do not sell one product I would not buy. They don't pay me to say that either, they are just that awesome.


My size 3X Extreme Monkey-Powered Awesomeness Enclosed t-shirt is big and comfortable. The shirt washes well and I know I will own it for years. It needs to last for years because its job is critical. That shirt is the only thing that stands between unsuspecting civilians and my EXTREME MONKEY-POWERED AWESOMENESS!!!

Head over to ThinkGeek to check it out and to find more great gifts for geeks!


Thank you to ThinkGeek for providing a complimentary product sample for us to base this review upon.

Review: Zazzle Men's Geek T-Shirts

Even my husband will not deny that he is a geek at heart. This combined with his love for t-shirts makes him especially drawn towards geek t-shirts, which covers a wide array of categories from comic books to science fiction to computers and beyond. Zazzle offers an enormous selection of geek designs that are not only available on t-shirts for men, women, and children, but also drinkware, bags, calendars, canvas footwear, and much more.




Because there is so much to choose from, my husband spent a long time browsing the t-shirts on Zazzle. He kept coming back to this Run CMD T-Shirt. If you do not understand the reference, then you must Google "Run DMC" and "Run CMD" and see what you come up with.

Having run a silkscreening business of our own in the past, my husband and I recognize print quality and shirt quality. This basic dark t-shirt is a nice weight and washed very well. There was no shrinkage that I could detect, nor any fading, flaking of the design, or pilling of the fabric.

If you happen to not find exactly the design you are looking for on Zazzle, you can always create your own or use an existing photo or logo. Zazzle also offers embroidery on some items. What an excellent source of one of a kind gifts and Holiday cards! To find out more about what this site offers, visit Zazzle.com and Zazzle on Facebook.


Thank you to Zazzle for sending us a complimentary shirt to base this review upon.

Shop 'n' Share: Brand Name Clothing at BJ's Wholesale Club

Although my family shops at BJ's Wholesale Club weekly and have purchased clothing and shoes there in the past, I have never taken my time to closely look through their vast clothing section. I usually know what I need. If I needed pajamas for the children, then I would know exactly where to look. When BJ's invited me to check out their spring fashions and gave me a $25 gift card to shop for my family, this gave me the perfect excuse to take a closer look at the clothing available at BJ's.

I have always known that BJ's sold some brand name clothing, but I do not remember seeing so many brand name labels in the past. I was very pleasantly surprised and took extensive notes, so that I could share my finds with my readers. Here are some of the bargains that stood out to me the most . . .

Shop 'n' Share: Star Wars Darth Trooper Skull T-Shirt

Now that Christmas has come and gone, I can share some of the cool gifts I found without ruining the surprise for the recipients. This Star Wars t-shirt is something I stumbled across on Google. It turns out that Marc Ecko carries a whole line of limited edition Star Wars clothing, including t-shirts and outerwear. Who knew?

This is the design on the t-shirt we chose for my 3 children to give as a Christmas gift to their father, who is a huge Star Wars fan. Although many of the artistic Star Wars shirts were a little too far out there for my husband's taste, I think this design has a huge coolness factor.


In the future, what I'll have to do is watch for new items to be added to the Star Wars clearance section. I paid regular price for this shirt and now I see it is on clearance for $19.99 . I would have to be fast though. It seems like the larger sizes sell out first.
