Last Eurovision, Menno and his husband visited Turin. As a birthday gift, Menno designed 7 shirts based on his husband’s favourite songs. One ‘’Song T-Shirt’ for every Eurovision day. “I thought it was cute,” Menno says. Wearing the shirts at Eurovision caught the eye of many fans. The response was overwhelming: “I remember people walking up to me, asking me where they could buy my shirt”, Menno tells us. “I did not think of selling them at first. So the next morning I immediately built an online web store. Two days later, I got so much traction that I decided to turn my husband’s birthday gift into a business”.
Our personal favourite design for 2023 is the one for Let3’s mind-bending Mama ŠČ! Lucky Mission Eurovision readers are able to get a very special €5 discount by using code ‘missioneurovision‘ – thanks Menno! Do act quick, orders need to be placed by 30 April.

We love using these debossers! Super easy to use, you just press them into some fondant and cut out your Eurovision design with a cookie cutter. We think the end result is fabulous.

Fridge magnet
Everyone knows someone who collects these, right? We’ve been loving the bright colours of the #unitedbymusic design this year, and this would look great in any kitchen.

Temporary tattoos
Not really a ‘collectible’, but much easier than trying to draw flags on your face with Rimmel Heather Shimmer lipstick on the CityLink. We’re big into Croatia’s song this year so expect to see us rocking this in Liverpool.

‘Trendy’ bucket hat
We’ll never not think of Kevin & Perry when we see bucket hats. Yes, we’re that old. But we do now also think of Kalush Orchestra and that’s pretty special, just like this hat.

Never enough tea towels in our house, and sadly too many arguments have been had about the right fabric thickness of the perfect tea towel. From passionate scousers The Liverpool Gift Co, this 100% cotton beauty features the colours of the Ukraine flag and a liver bird. The legends will also be making a donation from the profit made on this item (and others in their awesome Eurovision range) to The Ukrainian Support Group at Big Help Project Charity.
