T-shirt Giveaway: Quirkie Kids

February 27, 2014 by Sarah

Screen Shot girl at 1.47.28 PMOne of the things readers write to me about the most is how to find clothes—in particular, clothes that allow their kids to express their own unique selves. And sometimes, a line of clothing comes along that lets kids do just that.

Quirkie Kids is a new line of pink t-shirts for kids with playful designs not usually associated with the color pink—slime, say, or Godzilla. Owner Martine Zoer says, “Quirky Kids is about more than just pink t-shirts. It’s about encouraging kids to embrace their uniqueness and giving them more options to express themselves through their clothing.” 

Martine has generously offered to give two of my readers a Quirkie Kids t-shirt—comment below for a chance to win.

Screen Shot kids:kickstarter at 1.48.20 PMMartine is hoping to raise $2500 in a 30-day Kickstarter campaign to launch Quirkie Kids as a small business. There are less than two weeks left to the campaign, and Quirky Kids is halfway to meeting its fundraising goal (to celebrate the halfway point, Martine launched a new design: Rhino. Rhino is available exclusively to Kickstarter backers, printed on American Apparel Fine Jersey fuchsia t-shirts.).  If you support Martine’s mission, support her campaign here.Screen Shot RHINOat 1.49.12 PM

COMMENT BELOW FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A QUIRKY KIDS T-SHIRT! VOTES WILL BE ACCEPTED THROUGH SATURDAY. THE TWO RANDOMLY-SELECTED WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED  MONDAY.

 “Join us in showing the little ones in our lives that it is okay to think for themselves.”

-Martine Zoer
