Picking a gift for a desk editor
A desk editor is the person who keeps the news moving after the reporters file, catching the typo in the headline, cutting the story to fit, and deciding what runs on the front page at deadline. Most of that work happens late, under fluorescent lights, with a phone ringing and a copy queue that never empties. A gift for them should respect that rhythm. A soft tee for the drive home after a long close, a hoodie for the newsroom that runs cold at night, or a mug that's clearly theirs for the coffee they'll reheat three times. Put desk editor on the front, and use the second line for their paper, section or shift, like Metro, Sports, Night Desk or Copy Desk. It turns a job title into something personal, and anyone in a newsroom will recognize it right away.
Desk Editor gift questions
Can I add a newspaper name or section under desk editor?
Yes. Most designs have a second line. Type the paper, section or shift there and the preview will update so you can check the spacing before you order.
Is desk editor a common job title for a gift?
It's a specific role, so a gift with the title reads as personal. Many people in news work will recognize it, and it works well for a retirement, a promotion or a farewell.
Can I order shirts for everyone on an editing desk?
Yes. Use the Team Shop: choose one design, paste the list of names, and pick a size for each person. Each shirt prints with its own name.
What sizes do the desk editor shirts come in?
Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
How long does a desk editor gift take to arrive?
Each order is printed after you place it, in 2 to 4 business days, then ships by ground in 3 to 5 business days. The product page shows the delivery window for today's orders.
What if the print has a mistake?
If we print something different from the preview you approved, or it arrives damaged, we reprint it free.
