I get a kick out of buying birthday shirts for my girls to wear throughout their birthday month, and they get a kick out of it, too. Little ones feel extra special in a shirt that tells the world that it’s birthday time! I have been eyeing the Planet Pudge Birthday Blow Out T-Shirts for almost a year now, so you can imagine how excited I was about the chance to review one of these hand-sewn beauties. Each tee is made with super high-quality American Apparal shirts, and the fabrics are colorful, fun and modern.
Holly, owner of Planet Pudge, says the following about the brand…
Planet Pudge is the result of an over-caffeinated, creative-deprived mom in search of fun, modern clothes for her two little girls. Sick of the same old mass-produced stuff, I started fanatically drawing, cutting, obsessing over fabrics and hand-stitching everything (much to the dismay of my calloused middle finger). And voila, Planet Pudge was born. I try very hard to make each Planet Pudge creation one-of-a-kind, just like your mommy-worshiping, caterpillar-smooshing, homework-defying kid.
Shirt Review
We received the Girly Birthday Blow Out T-Shirt featuring four hand-sewn birthday candles, and it couldn’t have arrived at a better time as my daugther will be turning 4 at the end of this month. I am so impressed by the hand-stitching on the candles, and even more so by the fact that they hold up so well in the wash. I’ve washed the shirt three times inside out, on the gentle cycle and each candle is in perfect condition! Also noteworthy are the bright and festive fabrics featured on the tee. The fabrics are hip, modern, and definitely put a smile on my daughter’s face. We love this shirt so much that we’ve already ordered one for a friend’s upcoming 2nd birthday (we chose the adorable Birthday Train tee.)
The Blow Out tees are made to order: Just purchase either the Boy or Girl Blow Out T-Shirt listing at Planet Pudge, and indicate how many candles you’d like (up to 5 candles). Note: American Apparel tees run small, so consider ordering 1 or 2 sizes up — we received size 6T for my daugther, who is generally a perfect size 4T.

To Buy or Not To Buy
To Buy…Priced at $26, the Birthday Blow Out T-Shirts are a great way to make your little one feel extra special in the weeks leading up to his or her birthday. And frankly, kids love to be asked, “When is your birthday?” Though the shirts are priced a bit higher than other birthday shirts out there, with Planet Pudge you are getting a unique design, bold fabrics and gorgeous hand-stitching… all on high quality American Apparel tees.
Or Not to buy…The only reason not to buy a Planet Pudge Birthday Blow Out tee? Since up to five candles fit on the tee, the soon-to-be six year old is out of luck. Rest assured, he or she can wear any of the other handful of birthday-inspired shirts from this shop!
Shop! Prices range from $22-$26 for tanks an tees, and $32 for hoodies. You can purchase the Birthday Blow Out T-Shirt or any of the other Planet Pudge beautifully hand-stitched shirts and hoodies here.

July 9, 2010Aww, that is such a cute idea! What a unique gift. I remember when I was little, I would get badges on my birthday that said “Now I am 3!” or something like that. This is sort of like an updated version of that idea!
