The pine forest design
The design feels like standing in a clearing surrounded by tall trees. Dozens of watercolor pines in two shades, a bright moss green and a deep spruce, crowd together along the sides and bottom, each with soft, feathery branches. On the baby's shirt, they form a full ring around the words; on family shirts, the trees line the sides and bottom so the title can sit up top.
In the center, the word ONE is built from nature. The O is a cross section of a tree trunk, with rings, cracks and bark, and weathered boards with visible grain shape the N and E. Under it, HAPPY CAMPER is written in rounded forest green capitals. The birthday baby's shirt adds a small I'M in charcoal above. Family shirts open with a sandy tan title such as NANA or POP POP, followed by of and the camper artwork.
The greens and wood tones make this design gender neutral and very outdoorsy, a great fit for families who love hiking, camping or cabin weekends.
Forest shirts in every size
Four styles share the forest:
- Adult pine forest tees, unisex XS to 4X, cut for parents, grandparents and godparents.
- Kids pine forest tees, youth S to XL, so big kids can join in.
- Toddler pine forest tees, 2T to 5T, for the youngest brothers and sisters.
- The pine forest baby bodysuit, from newborn up to 24 months, and a matching baby tee, for the baby and baby cousins.
Titles include Mom, Mama, Dada, Nana, Gigi, Papa, Aunt, Uncle and Godmother, 24 in all, and I'm One Happy Camper for the birthday baby. Other titles print in tan through Custom family name.
Planning a pine forest party
A woodland camping party feels warm and natural. Pull the colors from the shirts: moss green, spruce green, tan, cream and natural wood. Wood slices make great cake stands and table chargers, and little potted pines or rosemary trees look lovely as centerpieces. Add lanterns, pine cones, burlap runners and a canvas tent as the photo spot, plus a wooden sign that says One Happy Camper.
For food, try a naked cake decorated with rosemary sprigs and a tiny wood slice topper, and a mini tree stump smash cake with chocolate bark for the baby. Trail mix, campfire cupcakes, hot cocoa or apple cider, and grilled hot dogs keep everyone happy.
Fun activities include a pine cone hunt, making bird feeders from pine cones and peanut butter, a flashlight walk at dusk, and storytime in the tent. Toddlers can play in a sensory bin of pine needles, acorns and wooden animals.
For favors, little bags of s'mores ingredients or mini pine tree saplings make sweet thank-yous.
Photos in the woods
The pine forest shirts look amazing outside among real trees. A park trail, a backyard with evergreens or a campground all make great backdrops. Sit the birthday baby on a big wood slice or a log with the family around, and grab a second shot of the baby holding a pine cone. Golden afternoon light makes the greens on the shirts glow.
Some families plan the party at a state park pavilion or a campground with a fire ring, which makes the whole day feel like a real camping trip. Bring a few camp chairs, a cooler of drinks and a basket of marshmallow sticks, and let the kids explore the trail with a grown-up. If the weather turns, a cabin or covered shelter keeps everyone dry while the trees on the shirts keep the theme going.
At home, you can bring the forest indoors with a few potted evergreens, a faux fireplace or a string of lights wrapped around a big branch. Even a simple green tablecloth with pine cones scattered on it gives the room a woodsy feel.
If it is chilly, the grown-ups can layer flannel shirts over their tees and leave them open so the design still shows.
Styling the forest outfits
Grown-ups can wear their tees with jeans, a buffalo plaid flannel and hiking boots. Toddlers look adorable in joggers, boots and a knit beanie. For the baby, the bodysuit with brown or green pants, tiny moccasins and a pom-pom hat is perfect.
Forest shirt sizing
A size chart in inches is included as the last photo of every forest listing. The adult forest tees have a roomy unisex cut, so grown-ups can buy their regular size. Babies turning one usually wear 12 or 18 months, and the forest bodysuits leave growing room, so measuring is helpful.
One cart for the whole camp
Every forest shirt gets its own title and size, and they all go into a single order. The family discount is taken during checkout, according to All apparel in your cart.
Pine forest orders take between 2 and 5 business days to print. Then standard ground shipping brings them to you in around 3 to 5 business days. For a weekend party, about two weeks ahead is ideal. Need them by a certain day? Send a request and we'll try to help.
Our camping first birthday shirts include bears, campers and mountains, and every other theme is under birthday family shirts.
