Gifts for Foodies: Graphic Tees for Seafood, Lemon & Pasta Lovers

Lobster, sardine, lemon, pasta or dumplings: how to choose a back-print tee for a foodie, with sizing advice and delivery times.

Foodies

Foodies are easy to love and hard to shop for: the kitchen is already full. A tee that says what they actually love to eat is a gift they will wear, not store. Here is how we would choose among our back-print tees for people who live for lobster, sardines, lemon, pasta and dumplings.

For the seafood lover

Lobster, sardines, crab and oysters

The Méditerranée Lobster Club pairs a red lobster with blue waves and a lemon branch. Sardine Club shows three cobalt-blue sardines, a nod to anyone who keeps a shelf of tinned fish. Holy Crab puts a red crab on blue waves, and Oyster Diet carries an oyster with the line "Eat oysters · Drink wine".

One tee, two loves

Martini & Lobster Diet is for the person who cannot choose between a martini and a lobster, so the drawing includes both.

For the lemon, tomato and pasta lovers

Zest of You is a drawing of lemons, slices and leaves, for the friend who squeezes lemon on everything. Tomato Time shows ripe red tomatoes with their green leaves and the line "good food · good mood". Pasta Is My Love Language features a spaghetti-filled fork in olive green with blue lettering.

For dumplings and spice

Dumpling Crush illustrates a pleated dumpling with chopsticks, and Spicy Club shows three red chili peppers for the one who always asks for more heat. You can find these and the rest of the food designs in our Foodies collection.

How to choose without guessing

Skip the generic "food lover" idea and look at what the person orders, cooks or brings to a dinner. A friend who always opens a tin of sardines at aperitif time will recognise Sardine Club immediately. Someone who plans a whole weekend around a seafood lunch will be happier with the lobster or the crab. A home cook who cannot make a salad without lemon is the Zest of You person. The more specific the drawing, the more it feels chosen rather than bought.

If the recipient is not into seafood at all, the pasta, tomato and dumpling designs are the safer, more everyday picks. They are also the easiest to wear with jeans or a plain pair of trousers; our guide to wearing a back-print tee has three simple outfit ideas.

How the tees are made to wear

Every tee is combed cotton at 280 g/m², a heavyweight fabric, with a boxy unisex cut and sizes XS to XXL. The main drawing is printed across the back, with a small signature on the chest. That means the design is the first thing people see when the wearer walks away, which makes for a good conversation starter at a dinner table.

Gift two, ship once

Because two tees ship free, a couple, two flatmates or two friends who share the same table can each get their own design in one order. Pair Sardine Club with Zest of You for a Mediterranean-style duo, or Tomato Time with Pasta Is My Love Language for a kitchen pair. If you are buying for yourself and a guest, the same logic applies.

Sizing for a gift

The cut is boxy, so it is roomy by design. If you know their usual size, that size gives a relaxed, oversized look; one size down gives a closer fit. When in doubt, compare the measurements in the size guide with a tee they already wear.

Shipping and timing

Orders ship within 1 business day, then delivery takes 5–8 business days to the U.S., France, Germany and Italy, and 4–7 business days to the UK. Two tees ship free, so a pair for two people at the same table is an easy way to save on delivery. Order with some margin if the gift has a date attached.

FAQ

What is the best tee to give a seafood lover?

When will a gift order arrive?
