Has anyone brought clothing from them?? What are they like, and do they last?
I got a 20% off voucher from them and i'm thinking about getting Andrew and Josh a t shirt each for xmas using the voucher.

I bought an all in one at the beginning of the year and had it printed for a friends baby shower.
It wasn't cheap, but very effective. It seemed to be good quality cotton, but then I don't know how it washed etc.
I found the company very fast to send it out etc.

Hey Mummy Becks, I got Emma Rose a green onesie with the words Wee Irish Lassie on it for St Patrick's Day this year. I personally felt that the service was okay -- if you want something for a special occasion, I felt they were a good option. They are expensive but with a voucher I think it would be worthwhile.
But there were a few issues I had with their product. The sizing of their onesies and shirts runs very small -- Em is a small baby but *just* fit into the onesie that was meant for her size range, when with other brands, even the appropriate size for her weight/height is usually too big. (At the moment, she's 16 months and still wearing 12-month clothing, if that gives you an idea of what I mean.) Also, after washing once, the onesie shrank a bit, so it was even more snug. I used quite a thin font and felt that it wasn't "attached" well -- it didn't peel off but looked like it could with a few more washings (she only wore it twice so it was only washed twice), so I'd recommend a "fatter" font. Also, the green colour of the onesie faded a wee bit after just a few washings. The onesie felt like good quality cotton, though, and was comfortable on her.
I think their colour selection is quite good, and I saw many options of their products at last year's Parent & Child Show in Auckland, and thought they were very cute. The glittery colour of fonts look really neat against darker backgrounds.
If you're getting shirts for Christmas, I'd get them at least a size bigger than you think you'll need for then. And compared to the price of the Christmas-themed T-shirts I saw at Farmers and Kmart last year, I don't think you'd be far off -- they seem about the same.
Hope that helps -- I would order from them again, by the way, I'd just follow my own advice above!

Hey Mummybecks
I just recently got one printed for a friend and it came out awesome. I too think that the sizing was small.
I got a bright blue polo shirt (was brighter than on screen) and the sizing was 1-2. I bought it for a first birthday. I got the wee boys name on it and the number 7 as he's their seventh child. I got it in the sports like font.
As far as I know, it's washed and worn ok... they were thrilled with it, by the time you have 7 I don't think there are many original gifts.
I thought about getting Olivia a wee rugby jersey but I don't know what to get on the back. Once I think of something fun I will definately go for it, but probably for something special like Christmas too.
Hope that helps
Hayley

I have 4 things for here and love the site. yep a wee bit on the expensive side but its personalized.
i think they are worth it. I got a rugby shirt with writing on the back x 2. I also got one for Rhyley's first christmas with Santa i have been good on the back. And a friend got him a t shirt that said rhyley made in NZ.
As for washing I find the ones I have washed really good. Only wee complaint was that the rugby jersey that i got was navy with a white collar and the collar didn't stay white - but not too bad though I think it was more i was washing it with the 'colours' that made it off colour. I actually found the clothes a good quality product.
