Tote-ally Great Gifts
Wednesday, June 30th, 2021
Okay, we do work here but trust us when we say Zazzle custom tote bags are the ideal go-to gifts for others and gifts for ourselves. We’ve been known to go ahem, totes crazy, because who can resist a clever pun or a cool design? While we can’t give away all our gifting secrets, we can share that stocking up on funny, creative tote bags to have on hand is one of the ways we ace gift-giving year round.

Loki: Mid-Century Mischief
Tuesday, June 29th, 2021
Are you one of the millions rabidly watching Loki on Disney+ every week? While we sit and ponder our variant selves, here at Zazzle HQ we are also really into the retro look and feel of the Time Variance Authority. Who knew that those timekeepers were really into that mid-century modern vintage aesthetic?
In any case, that look translates really well into the Loki officially licensed store on Zazzle. A case in point, this vintage inspired pattern on a variety of fun Zazzle products. A touch of Mid-century modern paired with the God of Mischief.

The Future Is So Bright – Happy National Sunglasses Day
Sunday, June 27th, 2021
Aviators, rimless, round or oversized; sunglasses come in all kinds of styles AND with their own National Sunglasses Day held annually every June 27th. This is a day with some serious meaning behind it. Started by the Vision Council, the day is intended to provide an important reminder of the importance of protecting our eyes from UV rays.
While the world's most expensive sunglasses were created by Chopard and valued at $400,000, you don't need to spend a lot to get style and substance. We love our drugstore finds as much as our creator pairs and of course we dig the customizable sunglasses we have on Zazzle.

Songs and Sails with Yacht Rock
Saturday, June 26th, 2021
Ah summer- the sun, the breeze, the boat and the… tunes? Yacht rock is having a moment again. What is Yacht Rock exactly you ask? Yacht rock tunes are those soft rock classics from the 70s and 80s. We think the term might have originated from Christopher Cross' 1979 anthem 'Sailing'.
Though it might have started as a pejorative descriptor for the soft rock genre, we dare you to not rock along to the sounds of the Doobie Brothers, Toto, and Hall and Oates. Need more proof? Check out this Spotify Yacht Rock playlist with almost a million hearts and get ready to drift away. Then deck yourself out with some on-theme attire and accessories.

Love is (Covid) Caring
Thursday, June 24th, 2021
Wedding season is all year long but this summer with many weddings back on, new covid safe trends are underway. One helpful trend we want to call out is color coding for distancing by guest preference. This trend is about allowing your guests to select and wear a color that indicates their comfort with connecting with fellow guest.
Some use mask colors, some are using wristbands or other wearables, but no matter the method, we're thrilled to see the thought and consideration being put into comfort and safety for wedding guest. Zazzle independent creator, Sarah Trett, has some great designs that support the covid-safe trend!

Cornhole For The Win
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021
When we launched our custom cornhole sets, we were not surprised by how quickly they became a favorite product to purchase on Zazzle. After all, who doesn't love family friendly challenge of a cornhole game or perhaps a more adult beverage inclined version for a fun summer brunch. But did you know that cornhole is serious gameplay for some?
The American Cornhole Organization runs the ACO pro-series, with the Pro-series of Cornhole tournament coming up in July. They also run the 'world's first cornhole sports network'. When you're ready for your own cornhole set, we have an amazing assortment of designs on Zazzle.

Ok See You. Bye to 'Kim's Convenience'
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2021
We were definitely one of the millions of viewers who were heartbroken to hear that beloved TV show 'Kim's Convenience' is not going to have a sixth season. While we hear there were issues behind the scenes, the TV show itself won the hearts and minds of many of us who loved the Kim family, Appa, Umma, Janet, Jung and their extended group of co-workers and friends in Toronto.
For fellow fans or fans to be, we still have some really fun Kim's Convenience designs on Zazzle. Ok see you while we go watch the final season which was released on Netflix earlier this month.

Hello Gorgeous – It's National Selfie Day
Monday, June 21st, 2021
It's hard to remember a time when selfie wasn't part of our lexicon. After all, the word selfie was declared the word of 2013 by the Oxford Dictionaries no less cementing the journey from obscure social media tag to mainstream term.
National Selfie Day originated in 2014. Do we need a day to celebrate the selfie? Who knows! But if you'd kindly get out of our light, we're happy to participate!
