Today: Nice Idea, Slightly Limited Solution Space
Personalized fashion is a great way to express yourself. It’s also very well suited to add a touch of “I really though about it” to any gift you give. And especially for children it’s a good opportunity to break out of the usual spiderman-look.
Amongst others, German online-customizer Beaniebee has exactly that approach covered for you. Offering fairly easy personalization of everything from t-shirts for kids and adults, ties, sweathsirts, bags, even teddy bears.
Their easy to use configurator lets you place both custom text and images on your product of choice, however - and this is where I find the process to be lacking - the amount of images that they offer is relatively limited. There are some theme groups like animals, seasons and so on but each one has a fairly small number of actual images, and the ones availible are often not too creative.
Of course, you can upload your own photo to place on your child’s new t-shirt. But from a technical point of view, their configuration space could have contained a little more diversity.
Note: Please see this post for detailed information on how to interpret the above data.
