Best.Mother's.Day.Gift.Ever.

When I was a little girl I didn't have any money (we weren't given an allowance back then), so I had to be creative when it came to gift giving.  I would often times rummage through my dresser drawers and choose a prized possession of mine to give for a birthday or Christmas present.  For special occasions such as Mother's Day and Father's Day, I would typically make a greeting card by creating an awesome piece of artwork (at least I thought it was awesome!) and adding sentimental words of love and appreciation.  My parents always seemed to love these very personal gifts above all others.  When I became a mom I soon learned how truly special it was to be on the receiving end of such gifts. These "made especially for you" pictures and Mother's Day cards are, in my opinion, the best gifts ever! Year after year I have carefully placed my treasured gifts in my keepsake memory box.  It's fun to look back at the "custom artwork" with the kiddos and share those precious memories of previous Mother's Day celebrations. I am so excited that Zoey's Attic can now digitally imprint your children's special drawings and loving messages directly on a shirt for mom, grandma, dad, grandpa, or really anyone special in their young lives. It's easy too! Zoey says to just "grab a white piece of paper (preferably, but any will do) some crayons or markers or both and have a little Mother's Day art session. Be creative have them write out or help them write out fun sayings like "my grandma is the best", "i love my mommy", "best grandma ever", or a personalized special saying or poem. Trace handprints, include the year, whatever you like - have fun!" When the budding artist's very own Picasso has been created just simply get your smart phone and some decent lighting and snap a picture and email it to orders@zoeysattic.com. The specific instructions are on the website and you can always contact Zoey if you have questions.  These adorable shirts personalized with your child's artwork will be the envy of the all the thoughtful Mother's Day gifts! They're so sweet that I'm actually thinking of giving myself a gift by having my kiddos drawings from past Mother's Days recreated on shirts just for me.

Holding On To Your Memories

Birth Pillows

When my daughter was born I never in my wildest dreams thought I would one day be shopping online.  I must admit I love it! There are so many specialty shops with just the perfect gifts for anyone and everyone...even those hard to buy for friends and relatives whom seem to have it all! I especially love looking at all the unique outfits and gifts for the little ones. You can find anything from embroidered blankets to sibling shirt sets and even a personalized birthday shirt made to match your party theme! One item that has gotten a lot of my attention is the birth announcement pillow.  As I feel my age more and more (yes, it happens!) and with life being so hectic, I have found my memory isn't quite what it used to be. I'm thankful I decided to video so many special moments like first steps, first words, birthdays, and holidays... you know those times you were sure you would never forget but sadly sometimes do. In recent years I have even turned to taking pictures of where I set my holiday decorations so I can refer back to them the following year when it's time to do it all over again! See, I've been distracted and my mind is off in another direction! So back to shopping for gifts online and those sweet birth announcement pillows. What a super reminder of such important facts! When my daughter was born the hospital sent us home with an 11 x 14 inch blank certificate and we had a friend enter the information from her birth in a beautiful calligraphy style, but there really aren't many details.  Basically it just contains her name, date of birth, weight and length. That's it! Now, Zoey's Attic has added canvas print birth announcements to its collection of pillows and you can personalize both with any details you desire. You can even include a favorite quote or meaningful saying. Although my daughter is no longer a baby I think I just might get a pillow or canvas print to record the facts of her arrival so I will have a little "cheat sheet" when my memory lapses. Now all I need to do is decide which adorable design I want or maybe I'll have them create a custom design just for me!

If You Mustache (Must Ask)!

Hipster mustaches are everywhere and Zoey's Attic has hilarious tees for Dad, Mom-to-be, big sister and of course the "little mister!" Did you know there is even an "International Fake Mustache Day" observed worldwide every year on February 3rd? Mother's Day is only a little more than a month away and how fun would it be for mom-to-be to make a surprise gender announcement wearing our mustache "It's A Boy" belly print maternity top? And with Father's Day just around the corner, the matching  mustache "Big Man / Little Man" gift set would be the perfect gift for any Daddy! But, the "Li'l Man" Mustache Birthday Party is really all the craze! Party favors, decorations, and mustache paper supplies for the "Stache Bash" can be found at a variety of nearby stores such as Target and Walmart as well as online at Oriental Trading and Party City. And, of course, the little mister will need his very own personalized li'l man shirt for his birthday celebration. The mustache fad is here to stay and a shirt from Zoey's Attic can definitely add that extra special touch to an extra special occasion!
