First Employee Lunch
We’re starting a new tradition here at 6DollarShirts….LUNCH! Well maybe that tradition isn’t new, but the tradition of employee lunches at 6DollarShirts is. We’re going to start having fresh, hot lunches made for everyone to sit and enjoy together here at 6DollarShirts. For our first lunch we had the talented Austin Abbott create some delicious vegan fare for burritos. Employees got to fill tortillas with fresh guacamole, beans, rice, seasoned TVP and more. We’ll let the pics of all the deliciousness speak for themselves, but this is definitely one tradition we plan to continue!

- -Stay on topic: Its a notification that needs to let our customers know that their order has shipped!
- -Respect all cultures: Our fan base is worldly diverse and we will not accept anything that we rule [too] offensive to any culture.
- -We want a notification, not a book. Keep it simple!
- -Be simultaneously hilarious and informative.
You must make use of the following tags:
- <FullName>
- <PostmarkDate>
- <TrackingInformation>
- <CustomsID>

Below is an example of last year’s holiday notification, which was a HUGE Success!
A holiday shipment notification for you, <FullName>;
‘Twas the weeks before Christmas, when you ordered a tee
Time was a-ticking for holiday delivery!
On <PostmarkDate>, we hand-picked and packed your order with care
In hopes it’d be fresh when it got there
Your stuff was nestled all snug in our box
While visions of you choosing this gift rocked our socks
When in the parking lot arose such a clatter
We sprang from Threadpit to see what was the matter
What to my bloodshot eyes should appear,
But a huge freakin’ sleigh and eight god damn reindeer!
With a tattooed sleigh driver just released from the can
We knew in a moment- it must be the mailman!
Faster than rockets his reindeers they came
As he whistled, and whipped them, and called them by name;
“Now, Flasher! now, Smasher! now, Bob and Nixen! On Douche! On Gimpy! On, Stalin and Blister!
I’m meeting a smokin’ hot elf for last call
So grab that damn package and let’s freakin’ haul!
To: <DestinationAddress>!
Over the projects with deliveries they flew,
With a sleigh chock full of tees and empty cans too.
Soon- if you listen- you just might hear
Your package arrive, smelling like beer
It’s not breaking and entering if he’s jolly (or drunk);
So don’t call the cops- cause he’s got your junk
A bundle of tee’s will be flung on his back!
(We know you can’t wait to get your paws on his sack)
We’ll be thinking of you with your hands on our junk,
Wrapping it up, while we’re getting drunk!
You won’t have to send even one lame ass card
Cause all of your gifts are gonna rock- hard
So from us to you, thanks for buying our shit!
(You can always exchange it if it doesn’t fit)
Go stuff your stockings and deck your damn tree
The holiday magic comes with each purchase for free.

Last Chance T-Shirts
We all know that a good t-shirt is a terrible thing to waste, but the truth of the matter is we’re having a bonfire soon and we need kindling. We figured since we sell t-shirts, why not use the shirts nobody has bought to fuel our fire dancing party? This is why we have created a “Last Chance” category to our website where you can go to buy tees that will otherwise burn, baby, burn! These designs have been with us a long time, and we’d much rather see you guys rockin’ them than see them going up in flames, so go grab these tees! It’s your last chance before they’re gone for-ev-errrr.
We already sold out of the “I Plan On Wearing Sandals For The Rest Of My Life” tee, so we would like to say Rest In Peace to that beloved design and hurry up so you don’t miss out on some of these bad boys:
Beardo Contest Winners
We have finally chosen a winner for the Beardo contest!
It was a long and difficult decision, but we had to narrow it down to only two. We wish we could send beardos and bottle ‘staches to ALL of our awesome contestants, but we can’t..
So congratulations to our first place winner, Scott Kermeen! His gem of a submission shows not only the hard work that goes into creating such a fancy lookin’ beard, but also his power to clone himself AND come up with cool captions: “WTB? What the beard?!” Awesome job, Scott. You will receive a beardo in the mail soon!
As for our second place winner, congratulations to Kirsten Saunders! This chick knows of and embraces her uncanny resemblance to David Spade and rocks facial hair better than any other female we’ve ever seen. Well played, Kirsten! You will receive a 6-pack of colorful bottle mustaches in the mail soon!
Thank you all so much for participating!
Beardo Contest
We are teaming up with Beardo for a sweet contest to win free stuff, so get pumped! For those of you who don’t know, Beardo is a company that makes beanie hats with scruffy, knitted, badass beards/mustaches attached to them, plus lots of other facial hair-inspired products. We’re giving away one beardo (a $39.99 value) to the first place winner and a 6-pack of colored bottle mustaches (a $10.99 value) to the second place winner!
Here’s how you enter:
1. First “like” Beardowear and 6dollarshirts on Facebook (if you don’t have one, get one!)
2. Next, tell your Facebook friends about this contest by mentioning Beardowear AND 6dollarshirts in your status (for those of you uneducated in the tagging friends feature on Facebook, you simply type in @Beardowear & @6 dollar shirts) this will not work, however, unless you LIKE these pages first.
3. Now create the most epic beard/mustache combo you possibly can (does not have to be self-grown or made out of hair for that matter), take pictures of your genius creations & post them on 6dollarshirt’s facebook wall
4. Remember to complete ALL the steps in order to be eligible to win! Winners will be announced on Friday. Good luck!

Comments Contest Winner
The winner of the comments contest submitted not only one amazeballs comment, but four whole charming and delicately constructed comments.
It’s not only the clever tone & wit that exudes in his masterful writing, but also the sheer hardwork and dedication evident in his persistance and perfect form that snagged this guy a $25 gift certificate to 6dollarshirts.com.
Congratulations, Brian “You Damn Right” Cone, for being hilariously disturbing in your writing and extremely fashion-savvy in your clothing choices.
All of his comments were awesome, but this is the one that really sealed the deal:
The other day I answered all questions by reciting phrases and/or describing designs from your tees. Example, The Department of Education: “Mr. Cone, you still owe $32,000 on your student loans.” Me: “JESUS WITH A MARTINI!!!”
Here are his other contributions:
“6 Dollar Shirts ruined my marriage… i.e. YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!! i OWE YOU EVERYTHING!… Cept she got it all in the divorce, minus meh tees…. THANKS 6 DOLLAR TEES!!! *Holds up a pack of Mentos*”
I once paid a hooker with 6 Dollar Tees… Then, when I was finished, I stabbed her so I could get my tees backs… Don’t worry, she wasn’t wearing any of them when I stabbed her.
If I were a shirt designer, I would pass on the $600 prize and take a $600 dollar credit instead… I would kill for you guys too.
Keep up the good work, Brian “you damn right” Cone. We appreciate you.
