I really love t-shirts from the Australian-everything-cool store, REMO: Like the "always on" button t-shirt:

Or this nice skully shirt:

Or encourage someone to wear their heart on their sleeve, like so:

Or the very confusing "t-shirt t-shirt":

Or, of course, a fez!

 

REMO also lets customers design their own t-shirts! Years ago I made this one, and it's still up:

Why should you order t-shirts from Australia? (If you're reading this in Australia, feel free to skip to the end of this paragraph). After all, the internet is practically carpeted wall-to-wall in cool funny t-shirts, why pay the extra shipping? You should order REMO t-shirts because they are superior. They fit well, they wash well, they have women's sizes that aren't based on poorly-scaled-up Barbie clothes, and the fabric is good and sturdy. Plus, when your happy recipients asks you where you got their gifts, you can honestly say "Australia!" 

Shipping from Australia in time for Christmas may be dicey at this point but you can always give a gift certificate … or as they call them, REMO dollars, which are "magically equivalent to Australian dollars."

While you're on the REMO site, you should definitely poke around — they have tons of cool, funny, and useful items.

[And we're still on the fundraising drive/Secret Lives poll:]

If we reach $1200 in donations by December 25, I will write a new "secret lives" story, that will include the top-two vote-getters below:
