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!

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?

Gray skull & cross bones sibling set

I must admit that I have never understood the fascination with the skull and cross bones. I guess I've just never really been into the pirate scene. That being said, there sure are tons of people who love the skull and cross bones and we've had so many requests for custom design shirts for both boys and girls and even newborn babies! Ahoy mateys, here is the good news for all our punk and pirate lovers... we've just added some new skull and cross bone designs to our sibling set collection at Zoey's Personalized Gifts/Zoey's Attic. These fun matching sets can be customized for any big brother/big sister and little brother/little sister combination you would ever need! I just know you're going to love these new skull and cross bone sibling sets!

Ready for me back to school Tshirt

Where has the summer gone? I ask myself this same question year after year as the Fourth of July approaches! Guess what we need to start thinking about after all the fun Independence Day festivities? You've got it...back to school! It is so entertaining to take the little ones shopping for school clothes. I love watching the unique individuality displayed in each of their likes and dislikes of school apparel. Zoey's Personalized Gifts/ Zoey's Attic offers some cool alternatives to the basic everyday school shirt. The t-shirts from Zoey's are completely customizable and there is plenty of time to order so you will have the perfect shirt for the first day of the new school year!
