I've been thinking this too

lol. Well for starters I designed a baseball cap because I like to wear those and they're easy. But I'll seriously consider this

 

[Emily]

I was thinking of making mugs, maybe pens?! Anyone have any other exciting ideas??
Oh, mouse mats might be a good one too

Wine labels!

Heyyyyy my design works pretty well for wine labels...

 

[Barbara]

Now we just need someone to make the wine....

We could bottle tap water and pretend.

There's a guy who knows how to turn water into wine, or so I've heard. Someone needs to look into that.

He runs the homebrew shop in Farnborough.

Oh, fantastic idea, and very easily doable and postable and travel-able

Ughh did one of these today but sadly the design looks way more like a coding conference thing... lmao. Gotta make it more writerly / bookish.

In a past £1M Big Lottery Funded project we found that pens, note pads/books and memory sticks (with a good capacity) were always very popular. In many ways it is probably down to their usefulness more than anything.

I make bookmarks however, they're kind of woven and perhaps a little thick. I normally hang a key from the end, or something pretty. Was gonna get into metal casting, so could prolly fashion a Litopia 'L'.

It’s been suggested that we should have some Litopia merchandise… t-shirts, obviously, but maybe rather more obscure / writerly objets…

Since we have a preternaturally talented and creative bunch of folk here, I’d like to turn you loose on the subject. What would you like to make…?

The rules are simple. You can make anything you want and offer it for sale (we’ll promote it here). You keep all the proceeds, i.e. Litopia won’t take a percentage. But the objet should mention Litopia®, somewhere. It doesn’t have to be prominent.

And now, over to you for ideas…

Oooh, I have tons of ideas

Oooh, I have tons of ideas

You do lovely things. Go for it.

Let's make ideas on how to turn ourselves away from a consumption-oriented society.

this thread is almost a year old but i would DEFINITELY want some hoodies with a cool writing-related phrase or litopia icon on it. i'd buy like three lol
i don't really wear hats but for some reason i'm thinking a litopia hat would be awesome.
and of COURSE we need writing related stuff -- pens, pencils, stamps, notebooks, erasers, stationery, etc.! would definitely be bought a lot considering all we do here is read and write haha

I played with the idea of Tote bags, t-shirts, mouse-pads, etc featuring famous rejections, standard rejection phrases, or my reaction to hearing how many books are published each year.

I was in Durham last weekend @AgentPete . There are two Waterstones stores leading up to the castle and the cathedral. Both stores had these protective covers in the window. When I saw them it occurred to me that books are different sizes, especially thickness, so didn't see how they would fit properly. However, here is a link to a tasteful example which interestingly has sold out. Will they catch on? Who knows what the fickle public will desire next

V&A book jacket/comforter at Waterstones

Stay safe.

The link doesn't work @David Newrick

Book bags/book cozies. I'm always so relunctant to put my paperback books in my bags because I don't want to ruin them—especially if I've bought them directly from the author and had them signed.

Edit: this is not an offer to make them. I can't sew to save my life. But I'd happily buy one if someone else did it (I actually already have though I wouldn't say no to more)
