A cool new twist on the old number and letter kids' shirts

With my kids still completely obsessed with their age and name, I'm always on the look out for cool letter and number t-shirts that won't break the bank. Who knew I could look no further than American Apparel for exactly what I've been looking for.

You don't have to be a font junkie to appreciate the new Helvetica t-shirts (left) which are a great way to celebrate a kid's name without necessarily draping their entire moniker on a shirt. Add the very cool color combinations and you've got one heckuva cool tee.

If you've got a birthday boy or girl in your house (or need an awesome gift for a lucky one), check out the Sesame Street number shirts (right) that are, by far, some of the cutest I've seen with the characters on them. With shirts for kids aged 1 to 6, these character t-shirts are a super cool ode to the iconic television show with an understated black line design

You just can't beat the $12-14 pricetag on these shirts, which for some reason just makes them even more appealing than they already are. -Kristen
