Everyone loves a graphic tee. Inevitably hungover on a Sunday morning, it’s the perfect statement to make when you’re not so much in the mood (or physical condition) to make one aloud.

Remember during your awkward phase in middle school when you’d sport those Claire’s or Afterthought’s smart-a*s buttons or keychains on your backpack? The one’s that said things like ‘I’m not mean you’re just annoying’ or something falling into a similar b*tchy context.

We loved how loud that little piece of plastic could be, am I right? Without even speaking it was like ‘this is what I’m about. Take it or leave it.’ Well, the graphic tee plays the same role in a more age-appropriate genre.

Of course there was the whole snorg tee craze, but that was just big press over the ’super-cute-down-to-earth-snorg-tee-girl!’

Now that we’re nearing the holidays, I’m sure you’re all scrounging for cute gift ideas. Look no further!

Crookedmonkey.com offers a plethora of graphic tees ranging from “I’m not a gardener, I just like ho’s,” to “Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.” For your boo or your bestie this site covers all the good-gift bases leading to a holiday hooome run. (And we promise we won’t tell if you play Santa for yourself instead.)
