Happy New Year!

Wow, it just seems like we were anxiously awaiting the Millenium, and now it's already the last day of 2012! Do you remember the Y2K frenzy? And, nothing happened at all! Lots has changed for all of us both personally and professionally since January 1, 2000. Today, thanks to so many amazing advancing technologies, we are all socially connected too! Facebook was launched in 2004, Twitter was created in 2006, and Pinterest started consuming my life in 2011! Life is great!  All of us here at Zoey's Attic and Zoey's Attic Personalized Gifts, wish all of you a very safe, healthy, and Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas is almost here! It has been a very busy holiday season and Zoey's elves have worked day and night processing your orders for your special Christmas shirts and gifts.  We are now beginning to wind down and start our personal Christmas shopping! Yikes, only a few days left to get everything ready! It's been a great year and we love you all so much for helping this mom grow her little baby into a full fledged biz! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our Flock!!!

Happy, Happy, Happy.....

Well, it's officially the last day of November and I have accomplished nothing at all for the Holidays. No decorations up, no baking done, no presents have been bought, no holiday cards have been sent..not even signed nor addressed for that matter! So much to do, but in the meantime we have several December birthdays in the family that must be celebrated first! My focus is on the birthday kids for now. So instead of Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, it's Happy Birthday for some of my favorite little nieces and nephews!  I'm loving the personalized tees and bags from Zoey's Attic and I know the kiddos would love them too.  I especially love Zoey's dinosaur shirts and my niece is a huge fan of Sue, the dinosaur.  Ever since she saw Sue at the Field Museum in Chicago my niece has been enamored with her, the best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex ever! So I'm getting this adorable shirt and having it customized by removing the "Big Sister" text and replacing it with my niece's and Sue's names and adding a few colorful hairbows too. Then I have a nephew turning two and he is a lover of trucks, all trucks!  His favorite truck is the fire truck.  Zoey's Attic has just the tee for him too. I'll have the "Big Brother" text changed to Birthday Boy and it will be the perfect gift for my sweet little nephew! So no matter whether you are birthday shopping or holiday shopping, be sure to check out Zoey's Attic! I'm sure you will find just the perfect gift for everyone in the family!

Doggies Love Santa Too!

Naughty or Nice Holiday T-Shirts for Dogs and Kids

I love my dogs! They are like children to me, and sometimes I think my daughter gets a little bit jealous of all the attention given to our poochies. Oh well, some day she will understand and be grateful for the pleasure and unconditional love given by our pups. So our dogs are members of the family and just like everyone else they get birthday cakes and presents, Easter baskets, and Santa brings gifts too. The doggies also get special outfits for the Holidays.  Zoey's Attic has some really sweet and funny Santa shirts for the dogs.  You could even get matching Christmas shirts for the kiddos! The whole family will be the talk of the neighborhood when everyone sees them strutting by on their daily walk! The shirts can also be personalized and customized with whatever special wording you'd like. Happy Holidays to all!

I Can Explain Holiday T-shirts for Dogs and Kids

Give Thanks

Personalized Thanksgiving Day Shirts

Thanksgiving is observed in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November each year. This year's celebration will take place on November 22nd. I have always loved Thanksgiving since I was a small child. Preparations began on Thanksgiving Eve when I would help my mom make her special stuffing for the turkey. My job was to toast the four loaves of bread needed to make the dressing. The toasted bread would then be torn into small cubes and simmered in herbs and spices. Onions, celery, and sausage would be added to make the best turkey dressing ever! The mouthwatering smell would permeate the house all night long and into the early morning hours of Thanksgiving Day. What could possibly be better than watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while snuggled on the couch in my pj's and savoring the smell of the turkey roasting in the oven? Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins would begin to arrive in the late afternoon for a large family gathering and shared meal. Oh such special memories of times past! Everyone would dress in adorable Thanksgiving attire and heartwarming family stories would be told... some old, some new. Some Thanksgiving Day celebrations even included the joyous news that a new little turkey would be joining the family! Wishing everyone of a memorable day of Thanks!

Thanksgiving Day Shirts, Bibs, Sibling Sets

Tweet, tweet..Siblings are...sweet, sweet!

Expecting a new brother or sister to join the family?

Spooktacular Halloween Tees and More

The first week of October has come to a close, and in just over three short weeks Halloween will be here! Considering that chocolate (actually any candy!) is my very favorite food this special day is very dear to me!  Besides collecting all the scrumptious candy in your very own loot bag, you may have a special announcement or maybe it's a first Halloween for the little one in your family. Whatever your needs are for this Halloween, Zoey's Attic has just the shirt, onesie, or trick or treat bag for you! From the devilish pregnancy announcement t-shirt to the itty-bitty, teeny-weeny, first Halloweeny onesie to the hip skull and cross bones sibling sets, you'll be the darling of the day!

Fun At Pumpkinland

 

Personalized childrens raglan Tshirt

One of my very favorite Fall activities is the annual visit to Pumpkinland at a farm nearby. I love watching all the kids (big and little, young and old) having so much fun flying through the air on the zipline, chasing one another through the corn maze, and petting all the animals in the petting zoo. They usually have goats, cows, chickens, and horses. The kiddos can also feed the goats! After climbing the bales of hay we finally take the wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch. Once there, we all hop off and pick the perfect pumpkin to make the perfect Jack-O-Lantern! There are so many fun photo opps during a visit to the pumpkin patch, so why not wear a customized tee for an awesome touch to the family picture?

Shiver Me Timbers, It's A Pirate Holiday!

 

Did you know September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day?  Now, how fun is that?  Way back in 1995, two friends John Baur and Mark Summers, came up with the idea for this fun holiday. Then in 2002, these fun loving pirates shared details of this parodic holiday with the syndicated columnist Dave Barry. Being the humorist he is, Dave decided to promote Talk Like A Pirate Day in his columns. This movement caught on and this year International Talk Like A Pirate Day is celebrating its 10th anniversary! So if you need an adorable tee for Talk Like A Pirate Day or just a fun way to announce a new little matey is being added to your crew, we've got you covered!  You'll love our swashbuckling designs for the little pirate lovers in your life!  All of our tshirts are completely customizable too: change colors, the wording, add a name, anything you need! We're here to help make your International Talk Like A Pirate Day the best ever!

Thankful For Grandparents!

Did you know that Grandparents Day will be celebrated in the U.S. on Sunday, September 9th?  It was proclaimed a national holiday in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter. The idea was conceived in 1970 by a West Virginia housewife, Marian McQuade. Through her efforts statewide, the United States Congress passed legislation to proclaim the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. September was chosen as the month to celebrate our beloved Grandparents because it is a month representative of the "autumn years" of life. A special day to recognize Grandparents is also set aside in several other countries throughout the world. For example, it is celebrated each year in Canada on the second Sunday of September. In Australia, Queensland was the first state to officially celebrate Grandparents Day on the first Sunday in November 2010. Several European nations also set aside a special day to honor Grandparents. France celebates the first Sunday of March, Italy on October 2nd, and the U.K. recognizes Grandparents on the first Sunday of October. Why not say "thank you" with a hug and custom gift from Zoey's Attic? Special thanks to my awesome Grandparents. Love you always from here to eternity!

Everyone's a Rockstar!

Rockstar Dad & Child Gift Set

Big sister someday rockstar raglan Tshirt

When I was younger (a lot younger!), I dreamed of being a rockstar! Well, maybe I really just wanted to be a diva! My friends and I would sing continually pretending to be stars. Why, we even had fake made-up girl bands! I, of course, wouldn't want to date myself so I won’t be sharing with you my all time favorite rockstar idols!  I'll bet that our Mom wannabe rockstars see the same passion in their children. It's fun to fantasize about being a rockstar, and who knows, some of our little ones may well someday be an American Idol. But for now, how about a simple t-shirt from Zoey's Personalized Gifts for the aspiring rockstars in the family?

Celebrate Grandpa!

Personalized German Grandpa Tshirt

Personalized Italian Nonno Tshirt

During my travels over the years, I have noticed so much national pride in the citizens of the foreign countries I have visited. I have just returned from a trip to Ireland and once again her citizens were ever so excited to share the history and culture of this beautiful Emerald Isle. It is so refreshing to see the excitement and celebration of a national heritage. As the United States is a melting pot of so many cultures and familial backgrounds, it thrills me so see so many Americans cultivate and preserve their ancestral inheritance. With these thoughts in mind, wouldn't it be grand to recognize your grandfather's lineage with a special gift for Father's Day? All of these shirts can be customized for the country of your choosing as well as for Daddy too! Zoey is here to help so just let us know what you need!

Personalized Irish Papa Tshirt

Freedom Rings!

Memorial Day is May 28th. It is a day set aside to pay tribute to our military veterans, specifically the brave men and women who have died in the service of our nation. Many programs are planned each year across the United States to honor these courageous soldiers. In honor of my father, a World War II veteran, I have personally attended many such events in the past. I have always brought along my daughter to these memorial events as I believe it is so important to teach our younger generations about the sacrifices of our loyal men and women soldiers. I hope many of you will also make time on such an important day to remember those who have given the ultimate for our country. The remainder of the day is typically celebrated with parades, swimming, backyard barbeques and shopping! This special day also signifies the beginning of the summer season. The children are always so excited! Why not add to their excitement and dress them in an adorable patriotic t-shirt for the day's festivities? All shirts from Zoey's Attic can be customized and personalized, if desired, for a girl or a boy! Zoey's Personalized Gifts has just what you need!
