Ever have a great idea for a t-shirt? My boyfriend claims he came up with “save the boobies” as a breast cancer awareness slogan long before he saw the now- famous bumper sticker “save the ta tas.”

How can this possibly work? When a customer orders a book, greeting card, or other printable object, Café Press grabs the item and ink, prints it up, and sends it off.

I perused their product line, and was pretty impressed with the variety of wall calendars with lovely photos and drawings.
My favorite product is the CD of “favorite campfire songs” for sale for $6.00. Wait – did my grandma put that up here?
My favorite story was about the woman who uses her proceeds from Café Press to walk in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer walk every year.

Now that is very interesting. I've been wanting to print up shirts with this cool phrase, and now I have an cheap method to do just that.
