Whether it's SweeTea or txtea, we've got t-shirts for every age and size. The newest item unveiled at the 2008 Atlanta Gift Show, txtea, was sparked by the hot new trend in communication. No longer just for teens, texting is for everyone. A creation of SweeTea LLC, txtea is currently being sold all across the country. The company's first line, SweeTea, was an instant hit primarily in the Southern states.

Owners Karen Hall and Susan Bashford say txtea appeals to the younger generation. "It's just a fun shirt to wear that makes people smile", says Bashford. In fact, the smile is one of the emoticons you'll find on their ribbed tanks. Both Hall and Bashford used their teenage daughters to narrow down the selection currently offered. They found a course in texting 101 was required to initially decipher the lingo. Now, texting has become addictive and fun for both of them. If you need tips on how to text, Hall suggests you try out the website lingo2word.com. The site will translate anything you write in to text talk for free!
