Bear Grips Pro ShopsCustom Christmas Shirts: The Complete Guide for Family, Friend, and Office Groups
- Custom Christmas shirts print on tees, long sleeves, crewneck sweatshirts, hoodies, and hats with a design a family, friend group, or office picks together.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops prints one shirt or a hundred at the same base price, from $19.88 VIP for a tee up to $45.88 for a heavyweight hoodie.
- The catalog does not include a knit, textured ugly Christmas sweater. A bold graphic print on a crewneck or hoodie gets the same look.
- Production and shipping run about a week, so order 2 to 3 weeks before the gathering to leave room for a size exchange.
How a Custom Christmas Shirt Order Actually Works
A Bear Grips Pro Shop is a single link with a Christmas design already loaded onto the pieces a group picked. Setting one up takes five steps:
- Upload the design. A family last name and year, a company logo, a joke that only the group will get, whatever was agreed on.
- Choose the pieces. A tee plus a crewneck sweatshirt covers most groups. Add a long sleeve or hoodie for anyone who runs cold.
- Set the price. Use the recommended profit ($10 per item is the shop default) or set a different retail price.
- Share one link. Text it to the family thread, the office Slack, or the group chat.
- Everyone orders their own size. Each order prints and ships separately. Nobody is guessing sizes for a dozen cousins in advance.

One honest note before anything else: the catalog does not include a knit, textured ugly Christmas sweater with pom poms or fuzzy trim. What it does include is crewneck and hoodie sweatshirts that take a full color graphic print, which is how most "ugly sweater" shirts sold anywhere are actually made anyway. If a search brought a reader here looking for a knit sweater, this is not that. If the goal is a shirt that reads as an ugly Christmas sweater in a group photo, the printed crewneck gets there.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Sizing a Group From Kids to Adults
Most pieces run adult XS to 3XL. The Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee and Youth Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee cover both the adult table and the kids table at the same gathering. The Gildan Youth Hoodie and Youth Crewneck Sweatshirt do the same for the cold-weather pieces. Since each person orders their own size directly, there is no group size sheet to collect or guess at in advance, which is usually where a bulk Christmas shirt order falls apart.
What a Custom Christmas Shirt Costs
Free plan shops pay a higher base price and can list up to 3 products at a time, which is enough for one Christmas design on a tee and a crewneck. Self-Service VIP is $59 a month for up to 200 live products at the lowest base prices shown in the table above. Done-For-You VIP is $105 a month and includes a personal advisor who builds the shop for you. A typical family or office order runs the tee at $19.88 to $23.88 VIP base plus whatever profit the organizer adds, commonly $8 to $12 a shirt.
How Far Ahead to Order for Christmas Day
Production and shipping run about a week from the day an order is placed. The complication with a group order is not the printing time, it is that a dozen people rarely order on the same day. Set an order-by date 2 to 3 weeks before the gathering and share it with the group link. That leaves a full week for the slowest orderer to still arrive on time, plus a few days of buffer if a size needs to be exchanged.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum number of shirts to order?
No. One shirt prints at the same base price as a hundred. A family of four and an office of forty use the same process.
Are these real ugly Christmas sweaters?
No, and it would not be honest to say otherwise. The catalog prints a bold graphic on a crewneck or hoodie sweatshirt, not a knit textured sweater. Most shoppers searching for an ugly sweater shirt are happy with the printed version once they see it.
How fast will a Christmas order arrive?
About a week from order to door. Set an order-by date 2 to 3 weeks before the event so everyone in a group order has time to receive and, if needed, exchange a size.
Can family members in different states all order from the same design?
Yes. Share one shop link, and each person orders their own size to their own address. Nobody has to collect payment or ship anything to anyone.
