The long-awaited merch has arrived. Woo!
Most of the designs in the store were created by Sasha Khalid. She is amazing and you should hire her if you need a logo/merch designer. You will also see a BDH design by Sophia, which is everything. I’m ordering one of those mugs for myself because every time I see it, I laugh. The guts of my enemies. Heee!
Super excited for you to see it.
Now for all of the disclaimers.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING TO SUPPORT US. BUY IT ONLY IF YOU WANT IT.
WE MAKE OUR LIVING ON BOOKS, NOT MERCH.
Payment security.
We went with Shopify, which processes all of your payments. We do not want to take payments through our website, because Shopify’s security is a lot better than what we can come up with.
Shopify is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant, meeting all six categories of PCI standards:
- Maintain a secure network
- Maintain a vulnerability management program
- Regularly monitor and test networks
- Protect cardholder data
- Implement strong access control measures
- Maintain an information security policy
This compliance is extended to all online stores powered by Shopify.
Products and Refunds.
This store is a POD, print-on-demand store, meaning that we contract with a printing company by providing a design. They print the merchandise, ship it, and charge us for it. The advantage of this is that we don’t have to maintain inventory or ship anything. The disadvantage is that we do not see the product before it goes out. We only see the samples we order.
You know when you go on Etsy and buy a cute Halloween T-shirt because you liked the little ghost on it? That’s exactly what these are.
Unfortunately, because each item is printed to order, we cannot answer any questions like “What shade of blue is this?” or “How large is this T-shirt?”
If you are ordering apparel, be sure to order the right size and color. We can only exchange or refund your money if you received a defective product.
We are offering you standard US sizes. If you are at all unsure of the fit, it might be safer to order a notebook or a mug. We have stickers, and mouse pads, and wall hangings. And ripper cushions.
Quality control.
You can see that the design in real life is a bit less vibrant. It was a large medium, though. The design is solid and a bit thinner than the traditional screen printing that sometimes feels like plastic armor.
This was our endurance test T-shirt. We ended up not going with this design, because it needs tweaking and we had way too much to do. We will add it in the next few weeks. We did our best to abuse this poor garment. It was washed 10 times. The cats laid on it. We threw it around. It still seems to be holding. Here is the close up.
If you are buying a mug, please note that shipping is expensive. Our mugs arrived unbroken and very well packaged and I can’t find any of them, because the kids must’ve stolen them. They were very cute. As with any mugs, I would recommend handwashing, but we stuck ours into the dishwasher a couple of times and nothing weird happened.
To speed up shipping, which should take less than 14 days, we went with the best rated printing providers located in the US. If you are an international reader, we will be setting up an international merch store for you with as many designs. So you might want to wait until that goes live. If you are in the US, your order may or may not get there by Christmas.
This whole merch store is new territory and it makes me nervous.

I just had so much fun shopping. Your merch shop is fantastic. All my things around going to be covered in stickers soon. Thank you!
O.M.G!! I want one! or two. or three. Maybe.. ╭( -᷅_-᷄ 〝)╮
But do you guys shipped outside of US? I am from Malaysia. I tried to find shipment info but there is none in the website.
Thanks again. For everything. Especially for making the world seem brighter with this blog and your books.
Lots of love from a fan in Malaysia
Yes, there will be an international store soon! I don’t have an exact date, but it will have the same designs and better shipping rates than if we were to order through the US store!
Yayyyy!! Thank you for your reply >.<
YAY! I got myself lots of Christmas surprises! Now I just have yo forget what I got! Especially when I wrap them! 🙂
Ohhh! So much shopping to do!
Love the merch!! Will be very hard to narrow down my choices. 🙂
Would it be possible to get size charts for the apparel? Often t-shirt sizes are different for different brands and I’d like to make sure I’m ordering the right size.
Also, would love the BDH Fun Design & the Cutting Edge Monster Removal on spiral notebooks.
Thanks so much!!
Love the store!!
Couldn’t resist the cutting edge sweatshirt! Love the merch – everything looks great!
From last night’s Zoom … ???? Of course we broke the Merch shop! (In all the right and expected, to us, ways.) The shop needing to restock was happy music to my ears.
I ordered notebooks and stickers … the stickers will play the role of bookmarks during my dead tree enjoyments.
Thank you to our awesome authors, Mod R, behind the scenes peeps, and my fellow BDH. Now to spy us IRL!
come here to say the same thing…. I LOLed so hard that the merch shop had to restock. The BDH definitely rushed to the site, and I don’t think the dust had settled yet. I’m waiting for more prints to be available on other mediums
Yay! stickers & mugs!
I need them allllll
Calendar! We need a 2023 Calendar with ALL THE PRINTS!
Also thank you for making this store! It’s a great day for a ferret heist!
+1 on the calendar!
+1
Squeeeeeee! I ordered a Ripper Cushions mug and a Cutting Edge phone case! I’m so excited! Yay! Thank you for the great Merch!
I’m so glad you did this! I’ve bought a couple things from Red Bubble, but they have very little to choose from.
I suppose the whole merch thing can seem a bit weird to some, but surrounding myself with things that remind me of my favorite stories and authors and ideas is what makes my places ‘mine.’ They make me smile and breathe just a tad easier in the midst of stressful days. Thank you!
Good thing this was released on payday. ????????
That mug IS everything! I’m ordering two, one for office chuckles (no one will get the true origin sadly) and one to keep safely insulated, sealed and locked in case I lose the first and it goes out of print.
How about the BDH Fun on the tote bag?
What are the tote dimensions?
Does it have a flat bottom or pinched? (Can’t interpret description)
Seconding the tote bag confusion: W X H [X D]? The photos don’t look gusseted, but then what does “boxed corners” mean? And is it just my Kindle browser, or is Large the only size choice, despite what the text says??
LOV3, LOVE, LOVE! the new merch!! hope the same stuff comes to the Inat’l store as I want to set up my new coffee mug collection!!
the Edge Dragon design is wonder-full!
Ooh can’t wait for the international store. If we do get a Wizard at Large design I would have to buy it on a mug. In fact I’ll have to buy a few mugs, you can never have too many.
I will wait for the international shop. Very patiently. Not eating my nails at all.
Really like the humour in the merch !!! « dr loose canon » and the « cops and serial killers » especially.
Would love a kitty kitty thing btw.
Exciting! I would love to see magnets or postcards with these designs in the store if that’s possible?
So so so cooool
I’m looking forward to the opening of the international store – I want ripper cushions, monster removal, BDH membership, and I can’t quite decide which Legacy reference – maybe ferrets. The only thing else is something Edge-y (oh and Kinsmen-y).
I’ve been loving your books since at least 2011, long live the Authorlords!!
OMG….this is bad…really bad ….I SIMPLY CANNOT DECIDE ????
want here Kitty shirt soon??
Looking good!
I look forward to the finalized “Here, kitty, kitty” products, but currently I’m most tempted by the two attractive designs in the Innkeeper line, and the round BDH.
Re. wishlist:
1) Does your PoD company offer lidded, insulated, plastic and/or steel tumblers or mugs of any sort, preferably at least 16 oz.? I almost never use ceramic mugs anymore, but the Full Color Gertrude Hunt is gorgeous! ????
2) If I may suggest, more stickers and coasters — and magnets, maybe? — for those of us wanting to dip a toe in/ on a budget.
One problem re. committing to an apparel order: I can’t find a size chart with actual measurements in inches across, without which “Runs true to size” means nothing. (You’ve seen those Venus of Willendorf memes, “I have the body of a goddess”, right? Yeah.)
Anyway, wishing you and yours all the best with books and merch and HOLIDAYS, too! ✨❄????
am gonna wait for the here kitty shirt
Waiting patiently for the International store…. Yay for thinking of us!
Xx
How long for the “here kitty” sweatshirt?????? Please. I dream about it.
Me too. I need this in my life.
Can we still make suggestions for new merch? It doesn’t have to be right now, but you know, eventually (puppy eyes)?
I would definitely buy Luther’s hoodie with “WIZARD AT LARGE” on it, and a t-shirt with “Knight on the streets, Wizard in the sheets”.
I am trying to buy the t shirts but it won’t ship to the Philippines? *wails in despair
The international storefront is coming soon, with all the same designs and no pesky overseas shipping fees!
Just got my Ripper Cushions mug! Yay!
Just wanted to share that my mug arrived! I will open it on Christmas. Woo-hoo!!
Hey just some feedback… I know I can always go to your blog and find this post to get the link, but you might want to add it to the drop down menu on your main website.
I know you are probably not looking for extra business, but for example ripper cushion merchandise is applicable even to those who are simply friends of BDH members!!!!
