Custom Designed Marine Mom Shirts and Gifts
Since my boys became Marines I have been designing Marine Mom shirts and gifts through Zazzle and CafePress. I show my pride in my sons and support the United States Marine Corps by designing fun and unique USMC gifts. Zazzle Marine Shop.
Both are a licensed Marine Corps vendors and half of my commissions go directly to the Marine Corps to support Marine programs on base.
I am proud to say that over the years thousands of dollars have been directly donated to the United States Marine Corps due to my little hobby.
The Marine Corps is very strict on who can design and manufacture USMC fan apparel. They approve every design and it is harder and harder to find unique USMC apparel.
The licensing has changed on both of the sites I used to design for and I have lost all of my shirt and ornament design ability. Which makes me very sad.
However, there are a few USMC licensed vendors on Etsy and I encourage you to support them. Often they are USMC wives or spouses trying to make a side income while their spouse is on deployment.
It is also difficult to find a job on most Marine Corps bases so side income helps balance the budget. I wholeheartedly support the Etsy makers and crafters.
I Am a Mother of THREE Marines
Yes, I have three sons who are Marines. Each one has a different journey. One is still active. Are Marines heros? It depends on who you are asking.
To a Marine Mom, her son or daughter will always be her hero. To a USMC wife, her husband is her hero. But Marines really hate that phrase. They are only doing their job they will say.
So for all those Marine Moms out there, I created a series of USMC scrapbook pages where you can honor your sons or daughters and create a USMC keepsake of their boot camp graduation or military journey.
These are 12×12″ standard scrapbook size pages in the Marine Corps colors or digital camo. Some have the official USMC logo or EGA while others are appropriate for Army, Navy or Air Force scrapbooks.
It is easy to substitute the photos and text for your own, then order the printed pages from Zazzle. Give it a try and let me know how you like them.
