Buying or Printing a Kids Alien themed Tshirt

saxlady on 30/11/2013 - 00:23

My 5 year old son today asked if he can please have an alien t shirt for Christmas. He's pretty sensitive, so I'm not sure of my chances of finding a "non scary" looking alien (definitely no monsters - has to be a classic, cute kind of alien) and if I could, whether it would be an acceptable price (I don't buy expensive brand name clothes for my kids- they have mostly on sale stuff, or hand me downs from friends)
I thought maybe my best bet was to get a tshirt printed and went to trusty Arts Cow to find they were not so trusty! They only have t shirts for adults, not kids.
So - any ideas? I really wouldn't want to pay too much - I've already got a couple of presents for him, but he did ask, so I'm having a look for him.

Thanks for any ideas

    You could try vista print, they have kids tshirts from $14, look around on the net they usually have deals popping up with reduced prices.
    Or maybe you will find something here http://www.zazzle.com.au/cute+alien+kids+tshirts

    Had a look at Reddit t shirts? Their logo is a cute little alien!

    I found a link for Vistaprint from an ad that popped up in my facebook news feed - kids t-shirts starting at $4.99. It starts at $4.99 then they add for you to upload the picture but I found a discount code here http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/122282 that took $20 from my cart so I ordered an adult size t-shirt as well for myself. Ended up just paying postage.

    The code I used was TAKE20.

    I get shirts printed from Vista print for my kids all the time. Average price delivered is $10 if you wait for a coupon.
    Sign up for their mailing list and they will send you notice of their sales, or watch OzB ;-)
    The shirts are a little thin for my liking, and only come in white, but the kids are very pleased with them.
    Some ideas for aliens might be Marvin the Martian from the old warner bros cartoons, the cybermen on Doctor Who don't look to scary if he likes robots. The great gazoo from the Flintstones is pretty harmless http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Gazoo
    Or go to fiverr.com and get a graphic designer to create your own personal alien to your specification.
    One of my boys is getting the Lego space logo on a shirt this year so he can be a lego spaceman.

      I was wondering what the material was like on the kids tees at vistaprint - so thanks for posting that mskeggs.
      I ordered a mens tee last week and received it in 2 days so was pretty happy. The quality wasn't too bad considering I only paid postage for it.

      Another suggestion for a pic is the Little Green Men from Toy Story.

    Also the little yellow aliens with the old grumpy guy who adopts three girls from the movie… Is it called the unstretchable or something?
