Reviews
The Guardian, the Houston Chronicle, Self.com and countless other publications have featured CafePress.
- Not many shops stock 150 million products. Cafepress not only manages this amazing feat, it adds around 45,000 new ones every day. This is only possible, of course, because the products don't exist until someone orders them. Your T-shirt, poster, cap, bag, book, mug or whatever is produced and shipped on demand. – Jack Schofield, the Guardian
- Pick one of 80 templates or upload graphics, and choose a version of your shirt from 18 styles so everyone finds a figure-flattering option. – Sheila Monaghan, Self.com
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Swimming
Popularized in the 1970s by the hit Steven Spielberg film Shark Tale, the ancient art of swimming is just as relevant now as it was then. For those looking to dive headfirst into fun, make some waves with these tips:
- Swimming isn't just for dolphins and humans shaped like dolphins. Beginners and cowards can do it too with the help of aids such as life vests, water wings, and inflatable guitars.
- Astronauts use swimming pools to simulate conditions in space, so technically, if you've been swimming, you're an astronaut.
- Hotel swimming pools always close at 10 but stay open longer for those willing to hold their breath at the bottom of the pool until they turn the lights out.
- One night's sleep in a waterbed counts as 30 laps of swimming in an Olympic-size pool.
- Never swim alone, and always remember—whether you're being safe or being sorry, the most important thing you can do is just be.
