Gifts from Wake
Wake is short for Wake County, the Raleigh-area stretch of North Carolina, and it's a word people wear with real pride. A Wake shirt says they're from the Triangle, the place where they grew up, went to school or built a life after a move. It's the kind of gift that gets worn to the local game, the farmers market and the trip back home at the holidays. For someone who has spent years away, a Wake mug on the kitchen counter is a small daily reminder of where they're from. Use the second line to add a neighborhood, a school or a graduation year, and the shirt becomes specific to them rather than a generic place name. Hoodies suit the cooler months, and kids tees and baby onesies let a whole family carry the name.
Wake gift questions
Does Wake refer to the county or the city?
Wake most often means Wake County, which includes Raleigh, Cary and other towns in the Triangle area of North Carolina. Some people use it for the whole region, so you may want to add the town they live in on the second line.
Can I add a town or school to a Wake shirt?
Yes. Many designs have a second line for a town, school, neighborhood or year. Type it in and the preview will update so you can check the spacing.
Is there a Wake design for kids or babies?
Yes. Wake designs are available as kids tees, dark kids tees and baby onesies, so you can match a family or gift a newborn.
What's a good gift for someone who moved away from Wake?
A mug or a light tee works well. Add a town or graduation year to make it personal, since that's often what they miss most.

Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
