Merch suggestion [Hats & Scarves]

So I was walking to my bus stop last night after a hard mini write-in with one of my fellow yorkshire writers when it occurred to me how freezing cold it was... Which then lead my train of thought back to NaNo!

We should have available in the store woolly hats and scarves with the NaNoWriMo crest logo on them. Not everyone taking part in NaNoWriMo is in a warm climate in November and I'm sure, if they were reasonably priced, a number of UK based WriMo's would wear the hat or scarf with pride.

I'm kind of keen on fingerless gloves. Some cafes I visit in November are outdoors and it can be rather chilly for typing.

I nominate fingerless gloves every year! A NaNo beanie hat would also be awesome.

That would be really cool!

I may have made a nano Wrimo writing hat.. I totally loved wearing it and would love to see more, not all made by me.

Nano beanie... *u* yes.

I approve this suggestion! Especially the scarf. :D

I'd also go for embroidered patches of the logo, sew-on or iron-on. Great for customizing jackets, backpacks, laptop covers...t-shirts for plush toys...

Angelynx: Second that!

(they would also be small enough to send as "letter" instead of a "parcel" and so probably arriving faster even at distant locations)

NaNo baseball cap type hats could easily be worn with earmuffs. So while I'd love to see NaNo hats available I don't think it is necessary to make them specifically for cold climate Wrimos.

How about iron-on patches so that we can show our NaNo pride on items that are not currently available through the store? One could be put on a backpack, or a jacket without the need to come up with a whole new product and gamble on inventory that may or may not sell. Just an idea.

I vote for hats and fingerless gloves! And iron-on patches!

btw.. some months ago, I was on a thread where flash drives were suggested. I don't know if it was that thread that resulted in that item being added to the store, or if it would have happened anyway.. but my point is -- Make those Suggestions!!!

and I'm throwing in another vote for fingerless gloves :-)

Do make suggestions... the messenger bags and USB drives both came from user suggestions. :)

How about beach towels for the Down Under contingents? The rest of us would buy them for Camp NaNoWriMo.

I'd also love to see hats and scarves and fingerless gloves! :D

I'd really like a calendar - but one that's a little different. For most of the year it could be the page to a month style, but November could be day by day, each day filled with information, hints, tips - the same kinda thing that's in the NaNo Novel Writing Kit/No Plot, No Problem :)

I'm thinking more of a wall calendar, but I'm sure other designs could be just as do-able.

I just had a stroke of brilliance...or insanity...either way:

Inner Editor Voodoo Dolls

How about a laptop/window cling with the crest logo? I'd totally buy at least two of those.

Peaked caps?

Also a small item that is easy to send across the globe.

(although those would be even more suitable for camp Nano?)
