Common things to give up for Lent

Day398
Today is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. This is the reason for the original products I came up with when I started my store: what are you giving up for Lent?

It must be human nature that people search for ideas of things to give up. Maybe they are hoping to find something a little easier to give up then their first thought.

I tried to have the most common things people give up for Lent in my store: Smoking, Alcohol, Beer, Sugar, Dessert, Snacks, Chocolate, Caffeine, Video Games, Excuses, Regrets, Being a Victim, TV, Whining and Road Rage. But, customers are always welcome to email me with their own ideas to put on a t-shirt, button, magnet, etc. too.

What are you giving up for Lent?

I was disappointed CafePress didn’t do any kind of Lent promotion like they do for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, New Year’s, etc. Since that was the original idea for my store (what are you giving up for Lent?) I was prepared! But, there was no mention in their news section and no design contests. Oh, well, I’ve sent out some press releases (of course). Here’s an excerpt:

Ash Wednesday is March 1st. For the next 40 days (the season only counts weekdays) Christians all over the world will be reflecting on their faith journeys. It has become a tradition to give up something you enjoy as a sign of penance and also to get the smallest glimpse of how much Christ gave up for the World.

givitup has taken the most popular things people give up for Lent and put them on hoodies, sweatshirts, t-shirts, mugs, hats, buttons, magnets and more. Whether one is giving up caffeine, sugar, coffee, gossip, road rage, TV, whining, alcohol or dessert givitup has you covered.
