What to look for in an Ohio themed gift

There are many elements to finding the perfect Ohio gift. A gift is a reflection of the person you’re giving the gift to, and even more importantly, what Ohio means to them. Buying an Ohio-themed gift from an Ohio-based retailer is extremely special because it’s like being able to take the people and places that mean the most to you anywhere in the world, only this time it’s an entire state!

Another important aspect to finding the perfect Ohio gift is quality. fancysweetstx maintains its standard of creating durable and long-lasting material while also constantly brainstorming local and Ohio-themed creative designs.

Why fancysweetstx is the answer to your Ohio gifts 

Did you know that we got our start with officially licensed shirts for the Ohio State University? That’s right, our very first shirt and our first ever Ohio collection was the Ohio State Sweater Vest T-Shirt.

We don’t need to explain to Buckeye fans that this was more of an outfit than a shirt. When you wore it, it gave the appearance of wearing a sweat vest and tie just like Coach Tressel was known for wearing on the sidelines during football Saturdays. 

The OSU Sweater Vest T-Shirt was the ultimate shirt for football fans to wear to games in the Horseshoe. In fact, the first week we had the shirts available we were in Columbus on Lane Avenue selling them in front of the 7 Eleven. Those were some fun times. Who could ask for anything more fun than selling shirts for Ohio State fans while they were tailgating before, during, and after football games. It was hardly work.

It’s fun to think back to those times. We’d drive down to Columbus on a Friday night with bags full of shirts and a white fold up table. We’d get up early on Saturday mornings, head to our designated spot, hoist a shirt in the air on a stick, and sell as many as we could.

Unfortunately the Ohio State Sweater Vest T-Shirt couldn’t last forever. When Coach Tressel left the university we were forced to get a little more creative and expand our line. We’re a much different business now, but we’ve stayed true to our Ohio roots with a consistent line of quality, comfortable Ohio clothing and gifts.

That same sense of Ohio pride is now translated into an entire line of Ohio related apparel. From unique Ohio t-shirt designs to Ohio blanket throws, to even Ohio themed protective face masks and Christmas ornaments,

One of our largest points of distribution for Ohio themed apparel and gifts is through Kroger stores. We first introduced our shirts into Kroger stores in 2016. Since then we’ve expanded to over ten stores throughout Ohio with many of them being in the Columbus area.

All of this is to say, we know and love our Ohio t-shirts.

fancysweetstx prides itself on being an Ohio-based retail brand. 16153 Genova wouldn’t be the same without its home state, just like we wouldn’t be the same without our die-hard Ohio fans. We wish to continue this tradition of showing off Ohio pride and connecting with our entire Ohio community to give back to the one and only Buckeye State.

Check out how we embroider our Ohio crew sweatshirts!

As we've said, one thing that makes us different is that we make our products in house. Take a look at this video below which shows us embroidering our popular Ohioan crew sweatshirt. 

Isn't it so much fun seeing an embroidery machine in action? We just love it. Our embroiderer, Jodi, has been in this field for over 20 years. She brings her expertise and experience to every product in our line every day. 

By doing the decoration work in house, it gives us more control over the creativity of our designs and the quality. It's been an advantage for us since we began screen printing in house eight years ago. We know all of the elements of our products better than anyone else, stay up on trends, and respond faster to demand because we work with them on a daily basis.
