Win a Custom Birthday Shirt
By Stephanie | August 29, 2009
Celebrate your little one’s birthday with a fun, whimsical, and one-of-a-kind shirt from Olive & Ollie:
Oh. Oh. Oh. Aren’t they oh-so-cute?
The birthday shirts are handmade by a mom of two from Cincinnati, Ohio and retail for between $20-$26.
If you choose to make a purchase, you will:
- get an adorable shirt that is “photo shoot ready.”
- be supporting a talented mom who makes her goods after her kids are tucked in for the night.
Sounds like a win-win situation. Don’t you think?
P.S. Olive & Ollie also sells custom birthday sets and the sweetest little peasant dresses.
WIN IT! One winner will receive a custom birthday shirt of his/her choice from Olive & Ollie. To enter, leave any topic-related comment on this post prior to Saturday, September 5th at 11:59 p.m. (Don’t forget to follow the rules…all generic comments like “Enter me!,” “Love it,” and “Cool stuff!” will be disqualified.).
*UPDATE* The winner is #83 ReggieMann. Congratulations!

Precious! What a wonderful way to add something extra special to the special day.

This would add to any special birthday. It would work perfect for our little girl who is celebrating her first birthday, or our older daughter who is going to be the big “5″. I am just glad they don’t make them in my size. Not really interested in wearing a “32″ on my chest. :)

Those shirts are adorable!! I made my son a shirt with his initial on it last year, and it was pretty cool, but not as neat as these ones. My daughter would love to have a shirt like this for her upcoming 4th birthday!!

I so want one for my son. I have VOWED that I will put him in a super cute 2nd bday shirt. I will scour etsy!!!

My baby girl won’t be 1 until February but I’ve been looking at shirts like these for her birthday for a couple of months now. A cute shirt and an adorable tutu – what more could a little girl ask for?

August 29th, 2009 at 7:24 am
My precious (only) granddaughter is turning 6 very soon and I’d love to have one of these for her.
Thanks for the chance!

I’d like to win a second birthday t shirt for my son. thanks for the chance.

Too cute! What a fun idea! I have seen shirts before, but they were the kind of shirt you would never let your son wear! These are cute!

What an absolutely sweet shirt! :) It would be really fun for my daughter.
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 8:58 am
She looks so proud to be three! Does she want to sleep in her shirt? I can imagine my 2 1/2 year old wanting to wear it every day and to sleep in it (if she wasn’t begging to be nakies all the time!) Hope she has a fantastic birthday!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 9:06 am
Oh, my best friend’s little guy is turning two SOON. This would be an awesome present for him.
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 9:17 am
What a innovative and creative mom! I admire her work! All of the color combinations are great looking. Many thanks, Cindi
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Those shirts are really creative! My little guy will be two next Spring…and hey, I could probably re-use it for the second kid!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Oh, I would have to win quick since my little one shares a birthday week with your little one. I guess I should actually say our “big kids”. But Andrew’s birthday is in October…maybe I can win for him! One year already… I can hardly believe it!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 9:34 am
How adorable! I have to say that all 3 of my children would love these! My little one’s birthday is in a couple weeks (hard to believe she will be 4!).
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Just found your blog! My 8 month old baby girl will look too, too sweet in this shirt for her very first birthday in December. Gosh my nearly 6 year old would just LOVE this shirt too. Would love to win one and then buy the other!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Such cute shirts! I’m so glad to see so many mom’s using their talents to help support their families as well as helping the economy. Wonderful!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 10:14 am
What a fantastic gift this would be for my niece who will be turning 2 in January!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 10:47 am
I LOVE her dresses! They are so beautiful. I’ve always wanted some big/little sister shirts too and her’s are really cute. I have to say though, if I were to win a b-day shirt I’m not sure if I’d pick the half way to 2 year old or the 3 months into 3 year old!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Ooh, I’d love that! My sister-in-law just made the cutest little tutus for my girls, and if I could get a shirt that matches it for Tiny she would have a super cute little birthday outfit!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
These are too cute!! I went to her site and I love her fabric choices – especially her Lime Lotus Paisley!! I’d love to win one for my neice who is turning 1 (too fast!!!) next month!!! Thanks for the great giveaway!

These shirts are adorable. My little girl turns 1 in Nov. and I think these are much cuter than the typical fair in the “big-box” stores. I really like the modern peasant dresses at Olive and Ollie. Thanks for pointing them out!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
very cute

August 29th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Such a great idea since parents always wonder what to dress their little one in on their birthday. Adorable.

These birthday shirts are so sweet, and look like a very good quality. My favorite are the ones with both the numeral and the word spelled out.

I think these shirts are so cute for birthdays! They make all the pictures for the album easy to remember what year it was!

OH MY GOSH!!! These are the cutest shirts ever!!! I am in the middle of planning my little boys 2nd b-day and we are doing a bubble theme. I just told my sister today that I needed to find something for him to wear!! These are adorable!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 7:36 pm
My youngest will be two the beginning of October…hard to believe! Right now he is in a body cast, though…hopefully it will be off before he celebrates his birthday! One of these shirts would be perfect for his celebration!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 8:17 pm
Sooo cute! My youngest has his second birthday coming up at the end of October, so this would be great timing.
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
The birthday shirts are cute but I LOVE the peasant dresses in her etsy store. And at $28 a piece I can afford to buy matching ones for my girls. So adorable!
[Reply]
August 29th, 2009 at 11:22 pm
my little one just turned 4 last month and I can’t believe how the time has flown.
[Reply]
August 30th, 2009 at 4:52 am
That would be a perfect way to help celebrate my grandson’s first birthday. It is in February, so does she do them in long sleeves as well?
[Reply]
August 30th, 2009 at 5:41 am
Not only does my daughter turn 3 next month, but we live in Cincinnati, so how much more perfect could it be?
[Reply]
August 30th, 2009 at 7:50 am
Definitely loves these! I know my little one wont be one for 6 more months, but you can never be too prepared for the 1st birthday! AND, his nickname is Ollie :0)

August 30th, 2009 at 10:19 am
The “2″ shirt would look really cute on my daughter. Thanks for the giveaway!

My son had one of these when he turned 3, and now it has to wait until Brennan turns 3! I’d love to get one for my daughter, her birthday isn’t until next year but this would be adorable.

what a great find, Stephanie! My son’s 2nd birthday is coming up in October. He’d look great in the blue 2 shirt.
[Reply]
August 30th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Cute shirts! My son is newly interested in the clothing he wears which is pretty fun. He used to only get excited about new shoes. He would love to proudly wear his age on his shirt.
[Reply]
August 30th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
That is too cute. Just think of all of the cute birthday pictures you would end up with! Although, with my kids, we’d have to take it off before cake. . .
[Reply]
August 30th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
I these there are adorable shirts, and would make great heirlooms, too. They could be passed down for generations, or could become a family thing, where all the cousins in the family use the shirt on their birthdays!

I love the Cupcake one with 1 on it. Thanks for the chance.

How CUTE! I recently went to a birthday party where a mom had a t-shirt similar and I loved it. What a cute idea. So then you can remember which year, who was at the party and keep track. My daughter who I call Ollie would love this for her 4th birthday! Thanks for the giveaway!

Adorable! My daughter turns three in December and this would be super cute to have on hand for her to wear.
[Reply]
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:29 pm
My daughter will be 3 years old on Christmas Day. I won’t let anything shadow her day…she has her own “birthday tree” that her gifts go under, she gets a new dress every year for that day.
This shirt would go great with a pretty little skirt!
[Reply]
September 2nd, 2009 at 1:55 pm
My son’t second birthday is next month and these shirts would be the PERFECT compliment to a fun day. I’m so glad to have found your giveaway!
[Reply]
September 2nd, 2009 at 3:56 pm
One of my friend’s makes felt birthday hats, but I think this is an even better idea since you get to use the shirt all year long. Plus, the shirt is more likely to stay on your kid than the hat. I’d love to win a custom birthday shirt!
[Reply]
September 3rd, 2009 at 9:16 am
This is my choice!! Avery’s Birthday is in May, and she will probably have a princess theme. This is perfect!!

A first birthday is a special celebration not just for baby but, for mommy and daddy. Especially for your first born! You did it as first time parents and, this may be the only birthday you can be apart of. As a young parent I unfortunately cannot give my son a BIG BLOWOUT for financial reasons but, a custom shirt made by you would be a cool memory for us. A keepsake for his FIRST BIRTHDAY! maybe a nice tradition to start. Thankyou

I also carry her shirts wholesale to match my tutus for the CUTEST birthday outfits!! My son is turning 3 at the end of the month–we’d love to win a free shirt!

My daughters birthday is coming up and this is the first year that we will be able to afford pictures just for her bday ( thanks to her grandparents). She would look so pretty in a new number shirt.
