Screen Printed T-Shirt Gift Ideas

If you're looking for a unique present for anyone on your gift-giving list, consider a screen-printed T-shirt. Ideal for both men and women, as well as children of all ages, these custom-made garments are an easy way to show your appreciation for any special person in your life

During the screen printing process, pictures, designs or words are transferred to a garment using a high heat. When done professionally, the images will adhere securely to the fabric, resulting in a long-lasting garment as long as it's properly washed and dried. 

You can either order a screen-printed T-shirt online for convenience or have a shop like DeSigns Incorporated make it for you. Most retailers offer a wide range of options, but you may also be able to request a specific design or pattern. When picking out the perfect present for your friend or loved one, take their passions, hobbies and interests into consideration. 

A screen printed T-shirt makes a thoughtful gift for a wide range of special occasions or event, including birthdays, any type of holiday, anniversaries, graduations, and baby and bridal showers. Since the custom-made gifts may take a few days or even weeks to process, be sure to plan ahead. 

Here are some screen printed gift ideas to get you started:

Sports Teams 

If the gift recipient loves a specific sports team, have a shirt made that reflects that. Start with a T-shirt featuring a team color, and then have it printed with the name and logo, as well as favorite player's name and number on the back.

Custom screen printing especially handy when it's a local high school or college team, or generally isn't well-known. You may have to supply the printer with the team logo or other design details in this case.

Hobbies and Interests 

Another way to treat the celebrant is with a screen printed T-shirt inspired by a favorite hobby or interest. Some ideas include golfing, dog, cat, gardening, traveling or horse designs. You can also include a special quote or saying along with the pattern. 

For a well-rounded gift, create a basket filled with the garment and related items, such as golf balls, a sun visor, jewelry or specialty food.

Personal Designs 

For the most personal screen printed gift, use a personal picture, such as one of a pet or a beloved car. Simply send the digital image to the printer along with any other requests, such as names, phrases, quotes or dates.
