2018 Calendars Personalized with Your Photos and Text

UPDATE: Find the New 2020 Calendars Here

PERSONALIZED 2018 CALENDARS

Now is the perfect time to get a 2018 calendar so you can stay organized in the new year. Every fall, I update the calendar selection in my FancyCelebration store on Zazzle. This year, I've organized all the calendars into a collection so you can see them all more easily in one place.

THE 2018 CALENDAR COLLECTION contains traditional wall calendars with easy templates for your photos, along with fridge magnets, posters, mousepads, and a few other product types. The designs range from simple (think: plain, bold white calendar numbers on a black background) to ornate (such as the new Victorian-inspired design shown below).

Some work great for businesses. You can even add your business name and website to them. Others are perfect for your fridge at home, with room for a collage of family pictures.

What's more, this time of year, you can probably get them on sale. Under each product in the collection, it will show you what % off they are and what promo code to use.

HERE ARE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE 2018 COLLECTION

1. This design is brand-new this year, and I had the most fun making it! I love the new PBS show Victoria, and thought I'd make a calendar fit for a queen. Here it is on a refrigerator magnet, with all its flowers and flourishes. You can even add your name and more text to personalize it:

2. This classic mousepad has easy-to-read calendar numbers and room for three of your pictures at the top. (The little doggie in the sample photo in the top left is named Booger, by the way). The templates make it easy for you to add your photos:

3. Here is one of the photo collage wall posters. This one has room for your text along the bottom, too, and then numbers are in red and white.

4. This wall calendar makes it easy for you to add your family pictures in front of festive background patterns. Each month has a different border behind your photo.

Funny 4th of July T-Shirts on Amazon and Zazzle

4TH OF JULY T-SHIRTS FOR YOUR INDEPENDENCE DAY PARTY

4th of July is coming up in a couple of weeks! I can't wait for fireworks, watermelon, drinks and relaxing with family and friends. It's my 2nd favorite holiday - because it happens in the summer and you're under no obligation to buy gifts, so it's not as stressful as Christmas. The only holiday I like better is Halloween because of all the candy and creative costumes. 

I decided it was about time I showed off some of my 4th of July work here - particularly t-shirts. I've already shown off the party invitations in a post here.

If you're looking for some party shirts, koozies, buttons and more things, check out this collection I made on Zazzle:

4th of July Party
by HaHaHolidays Zazzle Store

You can see all the funny 4th of July products in the HaHaHolidays store here.

I also have some pretty 4th of July party items in the FancyCelebration store "Summer Fun" category here.

I've also expanded to Amazon this year! Don't forget to check out these 4th of July shirts I have for sale there. Here's the latest one - I think it turned out pretty well!

Thanks for stopping in for a look. Have a happy Independence Day!

Great American Total Solar Eclipse Viewing Party Supplies

CELEBRATE AUGUST 21 2017 WITH THIS FUNNY ECLIPSE PARTY COLLECTION

In case you didn't know yet, most of the United States is in for a treat on August 21st when a total solar eclipse is visible across America. It's being called the "Great American Eclipse" and everyone is eager to travel to a good viewing spot. I can't imagine a more fun time to gather your friends and family together for a party. I usually try to steer clear of designing for occasions that will quickly pass; I prefer designs with more staying power. But I simply couldn't resist making a party collection for the eclipse because it's too exciting. Besides, another eclipse is right around the corner in 2024. So, this set will be relevant again in 7 short years. :)  

Without further adieu, here is the collection. It was inspired by pop music. The woman in the design rides the moon as if it's a wrecking ball, as it blocks the Sun from Earth's view. The text says, "It came in like a blocking ball. We couldn't see the Sun at all." I've been obsessed with mid-century modern design lately - particularly Saul Bass's Hitchcock movie posters - so I gave it a fun retro look.

Here is the invitation. It has easy templates for all your party details:

Everyone needs a souvenir t-shirt and button

There's plenty more! I made paper napkins, plates, cups, hats, magnets, and even a sheet of temporary tattoos. See the whole solar eclipse party collection here.

And if there's a product type you want designed for your party that you don't see in the collection, let me know so I can make it for you. In addition to Zazzle, I can also do custom work for you on Redbubble, Society6 and CafePress.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have fun seeing the eclipse.

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!
