Heirlooms

Thomas Planet Heirlooms is coming soon

Heirlooms will fund hosting, storage, backups, research tools, reunion materials, design work, and future family contests without turning private genealogy into merchandise. The goal is tasteful heritage, not random merch.

Logo contest path

Use the current mark during testing. After members arrive, open a Thomas-wide logo contest with clear rules, finalist voting, credit for the winner, and a launch shirt using the chosen identity.

Verified members can vote on priorities

Drop-ship decision

Choose a provider before checkout goes live. Products will be printed and shipped by that provider with clear tax, return, and support handling outside the private genealogy app.

No boxes in the garage

Consent checklist

Family photos, names, branch claims, reunion graphics, and memorial designs need written permission before becoming public products. Private archive uploads never become merchandise by default.

Collections

Product lines that fit the mission

Start with useful, tasteful, branch-safe items before anything personalized or reunion-specific.

One Name. One Family. One Planet.

shirts, hats, mugs, notebooks

Branch-neutral launch items that let people wear the idea before they know their exact line.

Branch and reunion drops

event shirts, banners, name badges, keepsake cards

Limited items for approved reunions or branch groups, using approved names and no private family data.

Archive support goods

photo-safe sleeves, scanning kits, binder labels, donation bundles

Practical products that directly support digitizing, organizing, and protecting family records.

Mythic memory line

prints, posters, stickers, story cards

Clearly labeled bardic or mythic designs that celebrate tradition without pretending it is proven genealogy.

Family logo contest winner

launch shirt, sticker sheet, founder poster

A future Thomas family contest can replace the temporary mark with a logo chosen by the community.

Practical commerce setup

Choose a drop-ship provider such as Printful, Printify, Shopify, or Fourthwall.
Keep checkout, tax, returns, and payment data in the commerce provider, not Thomas Planet.
Use Thomas Planet only for approved product ideas, public graphics, launch notes, and funding transparency.
Separate private family uploads from heirloom graphics unless a contributor explicitly approves public use.

Before this goes live

Heirlooms launches when the first items feel proud, tasteful, and useful. Early products stay family-approved and branch-neutral; personalized reunion items require consent rules first.

A Thomas family logo contest belongs here too: invite designs, publish finalists, vote, credit the winner, and use the chosen logo on the first community-funded drop.
