Funny Thanksgiving Gifts
The best Thanksgiving gift is a shirt that gets a laugh at the table and teaches a little history. Honeyman Tees offers a turkey in disguise, a Thanksgiving guest and Sarah Josepha Hale, the editor who spent about 17 years writing to presidents about the holiday, all as cute chibi storybook-watercolor characters with a speech-bubble joke. They suit Thanksgiving hosts, Friendsgiving groups, history teachers and social studies teachers. Each shirt is printed to order, with production taking 3-10 days, and ships free to US addresses, so order early if you are planning around a date.
Turkey in Disguise T-shirt
“Greetings, fellow Pilgrims. Pass the ham.”
Turkey has been the centerpiece of the American Thanksgiving table since the 1800s, which makes November a nervous month to be a turkey.
Thanksgiving Guest T-shirt
“Came for freedom. Stayed for pie.”
In autumn 1621, English settlers at Plymouth and the Wampanoag people shared a three-day harvest feast that is remembered today as the first Thanksgiving.
Sarah Josepha Hale T-shirt
“I lobbied five presidents for pie.”
Sarah Josepha Hale, the magazine editor who wrote "Mary Had a Little Lamb," spent about 17 years writing letters to presidents asking for a national Thanksgiving, until Abraham Lincoln proclaimed one in 1863.
