Gingerbread Man Shirt, Runner Gift, Can't Catch Me, Funny Christmas Cookie Tee for Holiday Bakers, Cookie Lovers and Folk Tale Fans

Cute watercolor-style illustration of a chibi gingerbread man in a red and white striped sweatband with dark currant buttons, sprinting from a flour cloud: "Can't catch me." Inspired by the American folk tale of the runaway gingerbread boy (1875).

A funny, cute Runaway Gingerbread Man gift for a Christmas folklore fan, history teacher or anyone who loves Christmas traditions.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
The tale of a runaway gingerbread boy who outruns everyone chasing him was printed in an American children's magazine in 1875, and he has been sprinting out of ovens ever since.

Great for runners, joggers, track and cross country teams, gym regulars, bakers and holiday cookie swaps. A funny running gift for anyone who would rather sprint than be eaten, and for the friend who is always one step ahead.

Run, run, as fast as you can. This little cookie has a striped sweatband, round button eyes, rosy cheeks and three dark currant buttons (no icing), and he is leaving a cloud of flour behind him. The watercolor-style illustration has warm golden-brown tones. A fun shirt for race day, holiday baking and anyone who outruns the oven.
