Hi ladies, I'm looking for a t shirt for my 2 yr old toddler that says something like 'Don't tell anyone, we are having a baby!' or 'I have a secret, I'm going to be a big brother', to surprise my visiting family with the news.
I was planning on buying one on cafepress for next week, but my husband decided he wants to do it asap now, he just can't wait! :D
So, rather than give up on my brillant plan (haha), I'm looking for a local store that might carry one... anyone seen one?

G.,

I don't know where you live, but I do know that they sell "I'm a big brother" shirts typically in hospital maternity ward gift shops. I know I saw them on the way out of Cedars-Sinai when I was bringing my newborn home.

Also, they may have something at the baby onesies cart at The Grove. The particular cart I'm talking about is infront of Barnes and Noble or Anthropologie. There's only one onesies cart, but they sell all sorts of funny baby shirts, onesies and other items.

Hope you find what you need!

All the best,

E.

Hey there! Check out City Threads (http://www.citythreads.com) for their Big Brother and Little Brother/Little sister t-shirts. That's where I got my 7 year old's "Big Brother" t-shirt and my infant's "Little Brother" t-shirt this past summer just prior to giving birth. Their stuff has a more cool and hip vibe than most things I saw online. They are located in downtown L.A. and if you go to their warehouse, you'll receive a 30% discount! Hope this helps! :D

I got my daughter's "best big sister" shirt at Babies R Us-and it was on sale! 5 bucks!

I like your idea better though! :)

Try Aahhs -- there's one in Westwood and another on Wilshire before you get to Santa Monica (going west). They have lots of cute toddler/baby t's with cute messages.

If you want to personalize it even more, you can just make your own with iron on. You can get the iron on paper @ any of the office stores and just follow the directions. You'll need to make sure the onsie or t-shirt you use is a plain solid color so that you can iron on your decoration. There are different iron on papers (one for dark color shirts, etc). Congratulations on baby #2!

We made our announcement in just about the same way, lots of fun! I happened to have a hand-me-down I was able to use but if you really want it now make it with the iron-on suggestion or get some fabric paint at a craft store, you will probably end up spending the same as if you buy a shirt.

My husband is a screen printer & graphic artist he could make you a shirt (any quantity you would like). All you would do is tell him what you would like on the shirt and he will create the art, once you approve the art he would print it on any color and type of shirt you would like. You can email him if your interested at ____@____.com
