Viking gifts

Why a Viking t-shirt makes a good gift

A good gift says that you know someone, and a horned helmet says it louder than a pair of socks. Our t-shirts suit the history fan, the gym regular, the stag, the bearded friend who gets called a Viking at every wedding and anyone with a sense of humour about themselves. They are also made to be worn, not kept in a drawer. Each one is printed on a premium organic cotton t-shirt in a medium weight that holds its shape in the wash.

Choosing a design

There are four designs. The classic logo tee has the helmet and the name side by side, the stacked logo tee sets the helmet above the name, the horned helmet tee shows the helmet alone and the wordmark tee keeps to the name. Each comes printed straight onto the shirt or set on a solid black panel, which we call the patch style.

If you are not sure which they would like, the horned helmet tee is the safest choice, because it is the boldest design and has no words on it. For someone who enjoys the joke of the name, go for the classic logo tee.

Choosing a colour and size

Every design comes in black, white and red. Black is the one most people are happy to wear anywhere, and red is the one that gets noticed. Sizes run from XS to 5XL in a regular fit. If you cannot ask without spoiling the surprise, look at the label of a t-shirt they already wear, and if you are caught between two sizes choose the larger.

Hoodies, caps and mugs

If a t-shirt is not quite right, the same designs come on a black pullover hoodie, a black cotton baseball cap and a black ceramic mug. The cap and the mug are the easy choices when you do not know someone's size, since the cap adjusts to fit and the mug fits everyone. Delivery is free on all of them.

Allow time for printing

We do not keep shelves of ready made stock. Your order is printed just for you and then posted, which is why delivery takes five to ten working days. For a birthday or an anniversary, order three weeks ahead and you can stop worrying about it. The details are on our delivery and returns page.

A gift with a story attached

If you like to give a present with something to say about it, our Vikings hub has you covered. You can tell them that real Vikings never wore horned helmets, which is exactly why ours does, or look up what their Viking name would mean.
