Who it's for
Christmas gift ideas by person
Any clear photo where their face is visible will do, so you can keep it a surprise until Christmas morning.
For dad
The "hard to buy for" dad, sorted. Cinematic Hero or Comic Hero on a black hoodie is the safe bet; Dark Crusader if he likes his heroes brooding.
For mum
Fantasy Mage, Neon Hero or Galactic Peacekeeper on a white tee or sweatshirt. Match the power to her: Nature, Magic or Energy.
For kids
Their own superhero to wear on Christmas Day. Kids' organic tees from age 3–4, youth tees and sweatshirts up to XL. See kids' superhero t-shirts.
For the whole family
One design per person in the same art style makes a matching family set for the Christmas photo. Everything goes in one basket and one checkout.
For grandparents
Grandad as a Medieval Epic knight or nan as a Steampunk Explorer. Older photos work as long as the face is clear.
Secret Santa & work parties
A colleague as a superhero always gets a laugh at the Christmas do. The Adult T-Shirt is £24.99.

Christmas delivery has closed for this year. Orders placed now are printed and sent as normal, and will arrive after Christmas.
Can I keep it a surprise?
Yes. You only need a clear photo of them from your own phone, so nothing has to be posed. Make the design in your account, order it, and have it delivered to your own address to wrap.
What if I get their size wrong?
Email [email protected] with the order number as soon as you can. If it hasn't gone to print yet we'll change the size free of charge. If it has already been printed we'll help with a discounted reprint in the right size, because each item is made individually.
Can I order matching designs for the whole family?
Yes. Make one design per person in the same art style for a matching set, add each to your basket with its own garment and size, and check out once. Orders over £35 get free UK delivery.
Does it come gift-wrapped?
Not at the moment. It arrives in plain protective packaging, printed to order, so most people have it delivered to themselves to wrap.
Is it a real superhero character?
No, and that's the point. The AI invents an original hero based on their photo, in the art style and super-power you pick. Hero Merch never uses existing, branded or trademarked superheroes.
