Gifting a Sarcastic Tee Without Getting It Wrong

September 17, 2026 · 5 min read

Humour gifts fail in one of two ways: the joke is about them rather than with them, or the size is wrong. Both are avoidable.

With them, not about them

Pick a line they'd have written themselves. Avoid anything that names a flaw they haven't already joked about publicly.

Sizing without asking

Measure a shirt they already own flat across the chest, double it, and match that number to the size chart. It's more reliable than any guess based on their build.

When you're between sizes, go up. An oversized tee reads as intentional; a tight one reads as a mistake.

Colour and timing

Black suits almost everyone and hides the fact you guessed. Order at least two weeks out — every piece is printed on demand after the order lands.

The short version

A line they'd have written, a size measured from a shirt they own, in black, ordered early.
