The Awesome Christmas Blog 2011!

Hello AWESOME people.

How are you all? As you've probably noticed and noted, it's that time of year again where we all give each other awesome presents, have a few drinks and twenty-six turkey based meals to celebrate the birth of Jesus. You probably realised that this was round the corner again when your town's lights went up in May and the Coca-Cola advert came on the telly in August.

We love Christmas (who doesn't) and we've already had our work party where several members of staff (if not all) nursed fairly large hangovers the next day. We also print awesome, custom (I hate the word bespoke) Christmas gifts and the idea of this blog is to help promote this and to help you get a few ideas for that tricky gift for your Latvian uncle or teenage niece who only likes You Me At Six and who really only wants a neck tattoo this year. These ideas are also awesome for all that secret santa malarkey that you have to get involved in at work. Also if you like the look of something, why don't you direct your loved one to the correct link?!

So sit back, read this and enjoy a TEN present ideas that will help make the dreaded Christmas shopping a bit easier and a lot more AWESOME for you this year.

1) 76 mm badges - Massive badges on Christmas Day? Yes please! Ten for only £14? Yes please! That's one each for Santa's reindeer and one for the big man himself.

2) Bottle opener keyrings - Have you got ten children or work colleagues who desperately need a bottle opener with your head on? then this is ideal for you. Make sure the kids are only opening lemonade. Or maybe ginger beer. You can have up to five designs in one order, free of charge!

3) Canvas prints - Have you got some awesome artwork you wanna give someone for Christmas? Or has your other half designed something awesome but is WAY too lazy to get it printed? Then this is for you. One print is £35!

4) Trucker caps - Only £12 for one hat, cap off someones Christmas with a custom printed trucker hat!

5) Drum Sticks - Can't afford the drumkit this year? Or does your sister love playing triplets and paradiddles all year round? Then a pair of custom sticks with her name on them and even her band, will keep her from using the turkey drum sticks at the table.

6) Fridge Magnets - A great stocking filler on Christmas Day and of course a great gift for your fridge. The 58mm design is most popular and you can have up to five designs in order, free of charge!

7) Mugs - I used one of these as my secret santa present last year. In the name of decency, I can't tell you what I wrote on it but trust me my friend loved it. Custom mugs with your boss' sily head on it = AWESOME.

8) Plectrums - Do you know a rock god? Well even if you don't custom printed plectrums are a must for any budding guitarist of any ability. Air guitarists also need something to strum with as air plectrums don't exist. if they did, we'd print them! Also awesome for someone in a band or as a merch idea. 50 for only £25! You'll never need to buy one again.

9) Giant wall stickers - Customize your front room with some awesome artwork! Removable and repositionable, these huge stickers brighten up any living room and would definitely make an awesome present.

10) Poster Roast shirts - How can I not mention these? We currently have four designs up (with a fifth on its way) and if you haven't had time to buy one yet, then you better tell your mum to click on this link! Look awesome on Christmas Day. You'll get kisses with no mistletoe required.

Right, well hopefully that's helped you get creative this Christmas. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to mail us at info@awesomemerchandise.com and you could be getting someone something AWESOME this year. We're happy to answer any artwork questions and please don't forget to tell Santa that we've been awesome this year... as we don't want any coal.

To celebrate Christmas, we're gonna be blogging every day in an advent calendar blog type thing to give away loads of awesome gifts and money saving specials. So keep checking this blog!

Thank you all and have an awesome run up to the festive season!
