Cool, Creative Father's Day Gift Ideas

NEW LIST OF 58 FATHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS

Father's Day is coming up fast - on June 18th. I realized I hadn't put together a list of products from my Zazzle stores that make great gifts for dads. So, I organized this collection of 58 ideas:

Favorite Fathers Day and Dad Birthday Gifts
by MK Hess Creative

As it says on the collection page, this list includes unique gifts for all kinds of dads. Themes include sailing, beer, classy monograms, travel, history, fishing, outer space, man caves, photo templates, and a variety of cool phone cases.

These designs are offered on a wider selection of products than the collection shows, too. If you see something you like but want it on a different product or need help customizing, "contact the designer" on one of the product pages - or let me know here - and I'd be happy to help.

You can also check out this list I made last year.
Or this list of gift ideas for men.

Don't forget to check out these Father's Day cards, too.

Have a happy Father's Day!

The Best 2016 Custom Photo Calendar Promo You'll Find

Create Your Own 2016 Photo Calendar - for only $7.30

Hi! Usually, around this time of the year, Zazzle has a 65% off promo day for calendars. This year, they have taken it a step further and added free shipping. So, you only have to spend $7.30 total for your own beautiful, personalized photo calendar. I haven't seen a deal this good before. And technically, only select email subscribers are supposed to know about it. Zazzle is only advertising free shipping on their website, not the 65% off code.

I tried out the codes to make sure they work, and they both do. All you have to do is use one of these easy templates to make your calendar, and then type in these two codes at checkout:

FREESTANDARD - to get free shipping through 11:59 PM PT December 6th (the end of Sunday).

ITSBACKSALEZ - to get 65% off your calendar, good through 11:59 PM PT December 7th (the end of Monday)

All four of these calendars are priced incredibly low, and each has an easy template to help you add your photos. Three of the calendars also have templates for cover text:

1. Here is the most basic- simply add your photos. Click "Customize It" if you need to adjust them to better fit the page. This is the lowest price you'll find for a calendar on Zazzle:

2. This one has a cover that will display a smaller view of all your photos inside, plus cover text. It's the same price point, and just as easy to customize:

3. These two are priced slightly higher, but not much at all. They have seasonal backgrounds behind your photos, a different one for each month. The second one is a single-page version:

Don't forget to use these codes at check out:

FREESTANDARD - to get free shipping through 11:59 PM PT December 6th (the end of Sunday).

ITSBACKSALEZ - to get 65% off your calendar, good through 11:59 PM PT December 7th (the end of Monday)

Enjoy your personalized calendars!

Christmas Gift Ideas Under $10 for 2015

80 CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS, ALL UNDER $10

Sometimes, you want to give a gift that's unique but doesn't cost too much. Maybe you're looking for extra stocking stuffers or a present for an office White Elephant or Secret Santa party with a price limit. Or maybe you're on a tight budget. Whatever the reason, I've collected a list of 80 fun gift items from Zazzle that are $10 and under.

Click the image to see the whole collection on Zazzle:

 

The products on this list range from custom fridge magnets to buttons, drink coasters, bottle openers, hair ties, personalized magnetic photo calendars, keychains and notepads to more unique items, like a bottle of hot sauce or a bumper sticker in favor of the recipient's favorite political candidate. 

Here are a few highlights:

1. Give a small, personalized tin of mints or jelly beans that can be used later to store pills or other small items. I like this simple, personalized black-and-white design with an Art Deco shell pattern:

2. The drink coasters are one of my favorites on this list. They're made of pulp board and can be bought in a set of six for $9.30. You might even find them lower if you check out the coupon page. Here are a couple favorites off the list. There are 10 total designs to choose from.

3. I bought a few of these small, round magnetic bottle openers as stocking stuffers last year, and they look nice on a kitchen refrigerator or a beer fridge. Here's one I bought and loved. Scroll to the end of the list above to see three more choices.

4. There are six foam can coolers on the list, and I absolutely love these as a gift idea. They have a great price for a custom-printed item. These two are my favorites because I love the personalization:

5. The magnetic photo calendars are very useful and also personal at the same time. For only $3.20, the recipient will have a fridge magnet with three family photos, a custom line of text and the year's calendar dates right at their fingertips. 

The knob pulls are a cute way to pretty up your furniture, and you can't go wrong with a "Home Sweet Home" magnet, a keychain or a funny button.

I hope you have fun browsing the entire list of all 80 gifts under $10.

Thanks for stopping by!

Make Your Own Personalized 2015 Calendar

2015 CALENDAR TEMPLATES ON ZAZZLE

Black Friday Week is the perfect time to buy a custom-made calendar on Zazzle. Use the code ZWEEKOFDEALS at checkout to get 50% off your original 2015 calendar. I think these would make great gifts - fill each month's pages with family photos to give to a loved one, or your own art.

The calendars can be a little tricky to design though, so I set up this template to help you:

Create Your Own Personalized Custom 2015 Calendar by FunnyTShirtsAndMore

Read the instructions under "Information from the Designer." It's priced the same as Zazzle's own blank template calendar (the lowest price you can get) - except mine is already set up for you with easy-to-change template images.

With the discount code ZWEEKOFDEALS, these personalized calendars are a very good deal this week. Have fun designing!
