CAFEPRESS Review & $50 GC Giveaway!

CafePress

Nothing is more popular and Trendy right now than having everything personalized. Tailored to your fit, customized to your taste and personalized with your own zing or trademarks. I can't think of a better way to express yourself. CafePress.com offers enough ideas to spark your own creativity while staying unique or even if you only want to display your loyalty to your favorite catchphrase or design.

I had ordered a messenger bag and a tank top from CafePress.com and was more than excited when the packages arrived. I received two envelopes encasing my bag in one and the top in the other.

I had ordered both with "Veritas, Aequitas" printed over a Cross. Anyone familiar with the Boondock Saints or Latin will immediately recognize the words Veritas and Aequitas tattooed on the brothers hand. Veritas means "Truth" while Aequitas means "Justice".

I ordered a spaghetti tank top in pink. It looked feminine and fits my personality while still allowing me to display my favorite Latin words in Boondock Saints, besides "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" which means "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Sprit". 



The laptop bag was a lot larger than I had expected. It's bright yellow color on canvas material makes for a colorful, yet durable messenger bag. The straps are wide and comfortable to carry across my body with ease, even packed full. It has enough room for all my essentials. My laptop, charger, my notepad and a couple of pens, highlighters and a pencil, cellphone and chargers (car and wall, you never know!) and my appointment book all fit perfectly into the bag. It has several compartments so that I can keep it separated, safe and easy to find.

See it larger!


I was very impressed with the heavy duty structure of the straps.I had been having problems finding a right bag that was strong enough, yet still fashionable. Every bag that I tried to fit everything into would start ripping at the strap seams in less than a week.
