Coffee Snob tees

Coffee's hot!

More specifically, our Coffee Snob Dark T-Shirt and Coffee Snob (simple) Women's Fitted Dark T-Shirt are current customer faves!

The design simply says "coffee snob." And, if you coffee snobs are as particular about the quality of your clothing as you are about the caliber of your coffee, then you'll appreciate these durable 100% cotton tees!

Celebrate your coffee snobbery today!

Proud to support Laid Off Camp Phoenix!

We are excited to be a sponsor of Laid Off Camp Phoenix!

This free, one-day event is geared towards giving people (who are laid off, underemployed, considering freelancing, etc.) resources to find work. There will be workshops on topics like interviewing, networking, finding the next step in your career path and using social media, as well as a resource room of volunteers reviewing resumes, sharing their experiences, and even taking photos for social media avatars.

Bold Avenue will be offering attendees free design and discounted printing on personal business cards that they can hand out as they do their job-search networking.

We haven't forgotten Haiti.

Every time Bold Avenue creates a project quote, we include a little note on the first page about donating a portion of the proceeds to a charity. We like to give to something specific, and we figure you'd like to know about it too.

During the month of January, all of our quotes listed the same thing: Food for the Hungry's Haiti Relief Fund. We'll continue to focus on Haiti relief throughout February, as well.

Food for the Hungry was in Haiti before the earthquake. They have continued working to meet both short term needs (food, hygiene kits, shelter) and planning for long-term rebuilding projects.

We just thought you'd like to know about that.

More to say

This blog (New on the Avenue) mainly focuses on our online shop, and we'll continue to keep you posted about new products and designs here.

But there's more to us than that.

We now offer graphic design and copywriting services. We've been redefining our focus and refining our brand. As we think through our strategy, listen to client feedback, find inspiration and make changes, we are chronicling the process at our new blog - boldavenue.posterous.com.

You can read more about what set these changes in motion in the post "Growth and reinvention," or you can subscribe to make sure you don't miss a thing!

Year's end

As 2009 draws to a close, Bold Avenue is breaking with the routine. We are taking time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to 2010 - and beyond. We are doing some "housekeeping:" reorganizing work spaces, taking care of maintenance on our site and our computers, preparing for the year ahead.

During this week (12/28-1/1), we will have limited business hours (and will be closed on New Year's Day - January 1st). However, if you have an urgent design or copywriting request, feel free to contact us, and we'll see how we can help you.


This does not affect previously scheduled design/writing projects or orders placed in our online shop.

Teegiving is the new Cyber Monday!

Today is the final day to join in our Teegiving sale alternative. If you missed the original post, here's the recap: buy a Bold Avenue t-shirt today and we'll donate $1 to Heifer International.


We wanted to do something with more lasting effects than a sale. (Although we can offer you a free shipping coupon, see below.)

Since today is the last day, we're changing things up a bit. From 12:00-1:00 pm PST, we will double our donations. (That's about 1.5 hours from the time this post is published.) Our goal is to sell 60 tees in 60 minutes - that's enough to give a sheep to a family in need!
You can make a difference simply by shopping or spreading the word!

Speaking of 60, use coupon code MONDAYSHIP for free shipping* when you spend over $60 in our shop today!

*Details on free shipping coupon:
Free Economy or Standard shipping for shop orders of $60 or more, excluding shipping charges and applicable sales tax. Delivery address must be within the United States and cannot be a PO Box.

Promotion starts on November 30, 2009 at 12:00 a.m. (PST) and ends on November 30, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. (PST). Cannot be combined with any other CafePress.com coupons or promotions and this offer may change, be modified or cancelled at anytime without notice.

Art School Dropout Tees

There are many very talented and successful people who didn't finish art school. A couple of these individuals suggested I create an "Art School Dropout" design. And so I did.

Today until 11:59 PST get free shipping on orders over $75 with coupon code 75WKND - details here.

For every tee you purchase in our shop through the end of the month, we'll donate $1 to Heifer International. This is our alternative to a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale. We call it Teegiving.

Frog tees in adult sizes

Big people like animals too. So the Frog design from our Fam Fare line is now available on men's and women's t-shirts.


Today and tomorrow get free shipping on orders over $75 with coupon code 75WKND - details here.


Remember that instead of a Black Friday sale, we are donating $1 per shirt to Heifer International. Get your shopping done on Bold Avenue and help support a great cause!

Tea Snob Tee

Chances are you know someone who is really particular about their tea. The only like it iced. Or hot. Or sweet. Or green.

Maybe you're that person. Either way, we now have a tee that's all about, well, tea.

Products with our tea snob design make great gifts for tea connoisseurs!


Remember that instead of a Black Friday sale, we are donating $1 per shirt to Heifer International. Get your shopping done on Bold Avenue and help support a great cause!

LAUGH collage tees

The holidays can be a stressful time of year, which makes it especially important to try to stay focused on what really matters. Count your blessings and, when things don't go as planned, do your best to just laugh it off!

Today's LAUGH design is the newest in our series of inspirational collages. It reminds you to laugh - as well as to love, share, smile and hope.

Have a happy Thanksgiving. And remember to laugh!


This is part of T(ee)giving. For every tee sold in our shop through the end of the month, we will donate $1 to Heifer International. We're also adding a new t-shirt design to our shop daily.

Dad's Taxi t-shirts

Although there are plenty of kid-chauffering moms out there, sometimes it's dad who does the driving. For the stay-at-home dads, the single dads, and all the dads who shuttle kids back and forth to school or soccer practice, baseball or ballet, we have a shirt for you!



Our Dad's Taxi design comes on quality tees and comfy sweats. You'll be glad to make this your new uniform!


Every day through the end of the month, we'll be introducing a new t-shirt design, as part of T(ee)giving. We will also be donating $1 for every tee sold in our shop to Heifer International.

Black Friday T(ee)giving

The current global economic crisis has hit developing countries the hardest. We know you'd like to help - and that you have shopping to do.

So here's how we're helping you with all that: For every t-shirt that you purchase from Bold Avenue's shop November 25 to November 30, we will donate $1 to Heifer International. We feel this is a more meaningful alternative to a Black Friday sale or a Cyber Monday discount.

During that time, we will also have a new t-shirt design in our shop each day. (But we will donate $1 for any tee you buy from our shop, whether it's an old or new design.)


Follow us on Twitter and watch for the hashtag #teegiving to keep track of funds raised and new designs, or subscribe to this blog for daily updates.

Heifer's mission is "to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and to care for the earth." You can read more about their approach on their site.

This is a great way to get your holiday shopping done - and have a hand in providing food and income for families in poverty!

Design + writing on Bold Avenue

When you think of Bold Avenue, you might think of t-shirt awesomeness (and with good reason). But did you know we have a lot more to offer these days?

In recent months, we've responded to demand and have begun providing custom design and writing for apparel, ads, marketing collateral and more.

We'll be doing some remodeling on our website soon. In the meantime, to find out how Bold Avenue can help your business or organization with its graphic design and copywriting needs, drop us a line - stephanie (at) boldavenue (dot) com.

No strings attached

If you follow children's product recalls, you may have noticed that clothing with drawstrings often makes the list, because of the strangulation hazards it poses.

Purchasing children's apparel that doesn't have drawstrings is safer (and helps to avoid the recall hassle).

None of our baby or children's clothing - including our kids hoodies - have drawstrings, so you can feel safe about kids clothes from Bold Avenue.

Sweet new birthday cards!

We've added birthday cards to Bold Avenue's shop! The front of our first birthday-specific design says, "A happy birthday to-o-o you!" with the letters forming a birthday cake and candle. Inside the card reads, "Wishing you many happy times ahead!"

Reusable water bottles

We've add new SIGG brand aluminum water bottles. They are lightweight reusable 1.0 liter bottles that come with a lifetime warranty.

SIGG bottles are also BPA-free and exceed the FDA's leaching requirements, so they're good for your health - and the environment.
