Mother's Day Coupon Savings

Oh my! It's already the last week of April! I'm looking forward to a warm sunshiny May and of course Mother's Day! As I've shared in a previous post, May is my all-time favorite month of the year. When I was younger it signified the end of a long school year was near and the much anticipated summer vacation would be arriving sooner than later!  However, the most favorite May date ever was my very first Mother's Day. The memory is forever etched not only in my mind, but also forever in my heart. I will always fondly remember that May morning seeing my sweet first born baby girl sitting in the middle of our bed holding a bottle of what at that time was my favorite perfume. The bottle has been empty for oh so many years now, but I have kept it as a special keepsake from my first Mother's Day. All grown up now my daughter recently asked me why I have this empty perfume bottle on my dresser. She is not a sentimental "saver" (possibly hoarder is the more correct term..ha!) like me so I think she was less than impressed that I had kept it all these many years. But, it is a special memory from a special time in my life and I will always cherish this empty bottle of perfume that was my very first Mother's Day gift. Why not surprise your mom, stepmom, mother-in-law, or grandma with a special Mother's Day gift this May 8th?  Zoey's Attic Personalized Gifts can help. And even better take 10% off the Mother's Day items in your shopping cart when entering coupon code MOM10 at checkout! Cheers to our Moms everywhere! Enjoy your special day!

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.

Remembering Your Grandparents

 

My grandmother moved into her house in 1929,  and I have the most amazing memories of family times spent with her in this home. My Grandmother (everyone called her "Goggie") cared for all her grandchildren whenever asked whether it was watching over us when a new sibling arrived or squeezing fresh orange juice for us when we were sick and Mom had to work.  We celebrated birthdays and holidays year after year in her home on Hanley Rd. Now it has sadly been many, many years since Goggie's passing and the house was sold. My siblings and cousins often reminisce of those days so long ago and have always said how much we'd love to once again step into the home that was the site of so many joyous occasions.  Good news...our wish came true! Unbeknownst to any of us until recently, my niece is actually friends with the young man who currently lives in my Grandmother's home!  Although my niece has been in this home many times, she had absolutely no idea this was the house her own Grandmother and Great-Grandmother had lived in many years ago.  Her friend graciously invited us to visit and what an awesome visit it was!  The rooms were every bit as spacious as I had remembered.  It was almost surreal to step into the closet with the window as this was always a favorite spot for the girls to gather.  It contained a shelf full of Barbie dolls and trunks full of dress up clothes.  The light fixtures in the entry and also in the breakfast nook were the original ones that I remember as a child.  I had forgotten about the glass crystal door knobs on all the closet doors.  And here they were, and it made me think about how many of my relatives had actually turned these knobs in the years past. My Grandmother's home was a home filled with love and laughter, and these special memories I have will always be a part of me.  National Grandparents Day began in the United States in 1978, the year my Goggie passed away.  Even though we didn't have an official day to celebrate Grandparents back then, I hope she always felt our love and appreciation. Be sure to let your Grandparents know this year the special place they hold in your heart.  Zoey's Attic can help with a special Grandparent's Day gift designed just for your very own special Grandma and Grandpa.

Most Precious Gift Of All

Mother's Day Gifts From Zoey's Attic Personalized Gifts


April has flown by, and where did it go? Now I'm looking forward to May and the celebration of Moms! May is by far my favorite month of the year. As a kiddo, when May arrived, it was the month that finally brought warm weather, and we played outside until Mom called us home at dark. It was also the end of the school year and in just a few short weeks the much anticipated summer vacation would begin. We also celebrated several family birthdays during May, and I even chose a date in May for my wedding. However, the most remembered May date ever was my very first Mother's Day. The memory is forever etched not only in my mind, but also in my heart. I will always remember that morning seeing my sweet first born baby girl sitting in the middle of our bed holding a bottle of my favorite perfume. The bottle has been empty for oh so many years now, but I have kept it as a special keepsake of my very first Mother's Day.  Being "mom" is the most precious gift of all.  Why not surprise your mom, stepmom, mother-in-law, or grandma with a special Mother's Day gift this May 12th?  Zoey's Attic can help.

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!

Yay for Moms!

Did you know there is a day set aside each year to recognize your Grandparents? National Grandparents Day was signed into law in the United States by President Jimmy Carter in 1978.  This special day to honor all Grandparents is observed on the first Sunday of September following Labor Day.  Many schools host a Grandparents Day for the students and their Grandmas and Grandpas during the week before or after National Grandparents Day.  On the actual day, many families will get together and share stories and a meal with  Grandma and Grandpa . If you need a special gift for your children to give their Grandparents you might want to take a look at these awesome Tshirts.
