you know the old adage "never trust a man left alone in a room with a tea cosy, and doesn't try it on"

Well, i sub a lot of stuff for a local rugby club, and was asked for the hangers for the rear car windows with the kit printed on, so duly ordered 20 to give em a try. Imagine my surpise when they arrived and were the perfect size for a newborn, so change of tactic, did a sample for the club then realised that they would fit a small dog (up to a cocker spaniel ... i tried on mine)

So i am sat there about midnight, and had a eureka moment, or as the wife says what the hell are you doing now ? and tried one on .... my head, cracking fit, showed it to the club, and sold 18 in the first day

maybe of help if you're looking for something a little "different"

don't know if i'm allowed to put a link on, but if someone can advise me, can put it on later

Absolute top idea and could see that going really well. Top marks for the eureka moment and even more marks for sharing such a good idea.

eureka moment for the head & dogs but a non eurkea moment for kids - they will not meet some very strict standards in place for childrens clothes and could (god forbid) anything happen land you in some pretty hot water - now dont ask me what would be wrong with them - as i dont know, but i do know that kids cothing has to pass a few tests - neck openings etc esp on newborns
