Milestone shirts, sweatshirts and mugs

Pregnancy ornaments, sweatshirts and mugs for expecting parents and new retirees — the year everything changed. Oddly specific, in-group humour written for the people who actually live it, not generic slogans. Original designs printed to order in the USA on garment-dyed Comfort Colors tees, heavy-blend crewneck sweatshirts and 11 oz mugs.

What makes a good pregnancy ornament

The ones that get worn are specific. Our babies & retirements designs are written for families marking a big year: expecting parents announcing a baby at Christmas, and people (or their coworkers) celebrating a retirement — the in-jokes, the rituals, the things expecting parents and new retirees say to each other — and set in bold retro type with a hand-drawn character so the joke reads from across the room. They work as a gift for a pregnancy announcement, a retirement party, or the first Christmas of a new chapter, and as the thing you buy yourself.

Tee, sweatshirt or mug?

The Gildan 18000 heavy-blend crewneck is the most-gifted item from October to March. The Comfort Colors 1717 tee is the everyday one, in eleven garment-dyed colours. The 11 oz mug is the safe gift when you don't know their size — dishwasher and microwave safe.

Questions people ask

What is the best pregnancy ornament to give as a gift?

The one that matches the person, not the category. Our babies & retirements designs are written about specific moments (the year everything changed), so pick the line that sounds like them. The crewneck sweatshirt is the most-gifted item; the mug is the safe choice when you don't know their size.

Are these pregnancy ornaments unisex?

Yes. Tees are Comfort Colors 1717 and sweatshirts are Gildan 18000, both relaxed unisex fits in S–2XL. See the size guide for chest and length measurements.

Every item is printed to order in the USA by our print partner and shipped from the USA with tracking. Production takes 2–5 business days; US delivery is usually 3–8 business days after that.
