Josh Spear, the guy behind the uber design blog, joshspear.com, took time out from being jetset and collaborated on a tee with our friends over at MomiMomi, the non-subscription wing of the HYA reviewed Momi Momi TEeA Party. The result is the somewhat festive ‘Molotov Yuletide’, but thankfully its not so festive that it will be locked away in your wardrobe for the majority of the year.

The $45 price point (inc. US shipping) did seem to be an issue for some people, with one blog comment telling JS to “get over yourself”, so he’s decided to give all his profits from the tee to a charity that will be decided by readers. I would imagine that since its limited to 100 pieces that it will be gone fairly quick, so no dilly-dallying!

And when I say hurry up that’s because if you’re buying things to put under brightly-lit highly flammable trees then you’re gonna have to move pretty quick unless you want to be a chump and pay for fast delivery later in the week.

HYA x Mauve Christmas Giveaways: Because of an error on my part (organising a contest when the people involved are eight timezones apart can be a little troublesome), day one of the the Christmas giveaways is actually going to last for two days. The next stage of the competition will be kicking off at 00:01 PST Wednesday 19th December.

Glass Boutique: Who wants a 25% off their order? You? Yes, you! You can get 25% off everything in their store using the coupon code GLASS DEC07 until 21/12/07, which is their last day of posting before they presumably take a well deserved Christmas break.

Threadless: Their Ho-Ho-Holiday sale is being extended until Wednesday 19th December so you’ve got a few more days to pick up what is still a surprisingly large range of tees.

Palmer Cash: Order by Thursday to receive your tees by the 25th. I’m presuming that this message only applies to the mainland US, and that us international people have missed the cut off.

Fred Flare: Today is the last day that you can get free US ground shipping at Fred Flare using the coupon code staffpicks.1207. After that you’re gonna have to pay if you want your bandages that look like bacon to arrive before Chris Cringle does.

Tobi: Are you looking a bit more at the high-end for your gift buying? Tobi are offering free overnight delivery (and free giftwrap) when you spend more than $250 on your order. How on earth do you have free overnight shipping in a country the size of America, isn’t that just a little bit mind-blowing? No coupon code, the discount is automatically applied at checkout, and is valid from now until 5PM (PST) on 21/12/07. Oh, and you can get 25% off full-priced items using the coupon code PERFECTGIFT.

Resist Today: They’ve got 19 one-of-a-kind wallets available that look really-rather-lovely. Christmas order cutoff is Wednesday 19th (US orders only).

Oak Aquarium: This emporium of all things awesome is offering 20% off your order until New Years (I think, the date isn’t totally clear) with the code EGUG6 which needs to be inputted at the discount line during the check out. US orders need to be placed by Tuesday night (December 18th) to have a shot at arriving before Xmas.

Pretty Hammer: A quick note from the PH guys:

We just released some Holiday Cards that are pretty sweet. 5 free with the purchase of any shirt or the cards are also for sale on their own as well.

Random Shirts: Their range of funny tees is available for just $8 a bargain, which is a crazy price point that I can’t see going on for very long. Order by the 19th for Christmas shipping.

Owl Movement: They’ve got new pillows available and their button packs have been restocked.

So, are the Americans that make up the vast majority of the readership of this blog getting a little sick of me continually posting the excellent tees that LaFraise are offering in Europe whilst their US store remains pretty static in terms of its content? Yeah, well, lets just consider this a bit of payback for us having to pay over the odds for shipping most of the time.

Oh, and LaFraise is selling hoodies now, including that rather cool ‘Reservoir Colours‘ design that I mentioned a little while back, but I’m afraid I think its already sold out, but still, its nice to see the Strawberry getting in on the sleeved action this winter.

P.S. Isn’t that model just straight-up hotness? Threadspot, if you’re doing a follow-up…

HYA has teamed up with Mauve, the streetwear retailer that you should all know a lot more about, to give away a tee every day this week from their impressive range of brands.

As you may well have guessed, we’re kicking things off with a brand that have been written about on HYA since the early days, The Quiet Life.

There’s no need for any photoshop trickery this time around, just e-mail your tee size and address to competitions@hideyourarms.com with the subject Day 1 and your name will be put into the hat for todays draw. Since Mauve are based in California this contest is going to be running on Pacific time, so if you want to win a random tee from Mauve’s selection of Quiet Life goods, you’ve got until midnight tonight PST to get that e-mail in.

Keep your eyes peeled all week for more giveaways!
