Be Your Own Retailer for Nothing

We recently went to Busch Gardens and saw a few families running around with those Dr. Seuss "Thing 1", "Thing 2" and so on t-shirts. At first, they were kind of interesting and fun...until I saw the third or fourth family with the shirts...all in red. All exactly alike. But it got me thinking. What if someone came up with a neat way to make your own stuff, whether it's a t-shirt, mug, calendar, book...whatever gadget that can be personalized. And then, everyone in your extended family can order a set or copy...and, if your designs are original and fun enough, everyone else will buy it too...an instant small business with no upfront costs.

You can do this right now over at Cafe Press. My brother, who used to be in a band, sold boxes of t-shirts and band groupie paraphanelia from this site. I thought it would be fun to maybe make a family history book at the site to hand out next Christmas. I am the keeper of all the old family photographs and wouldn't that be a surprise for everyone? And just maybe, we'll make our own version of Dr. Seuss t-shirts, but we'll call it something else, and show up at Busch Gardens next year sporting our own designs.

Do you know of any other sites such as this?
