Cute Kid-Style Aprons/ Zazzle Product Review

 

This past winter holiday I bought my niece's darling snowman-designed aprons at Zazzle.com.  I bought the girl's specialty aprons that were personalized with their names and the girls loved their gifts.  Know that I had never bought an apron at Zazzle so I didn’t know what the quality was, nor did I know how the printing would turn out, but not knowing didn’t stop me from personalizing the aprons with the girl's names and shipping the aprons sight unseen.

The winter snowman design was adorable, the ink colors used in the printing were perfect and both girls were excited to see their names on the aprons. 

Here are photographs of the aprons.

The aprons are easy-care polyester with a twill texture finish. They come in three sizes small for kids, medium which is for an adult and hits above the knee, and large which is longer and hits below the knee. There is an apron size for everyone so if you want to create a "mommy and me" look.

The kid apron designs aren’t just for cooking/baking cookies. They can also wear them when they are painting, planting flowers, or doing other activities where their clothes need to be kept clean

Here are a few cute kid-styled aprons that I created at my Zazzle store.

Don’t Shop Adopt / Zazzle Made Cat T-Shirts

If you like cats then you will love a cat-designed t-shirt. All of the Zazzle-made shirts were created for the cat lover who believes that it's better to adopt a cat from a shelter than to buy one. I created this cat design from one collage art design. Each element is layered by hand to create this fall-season feline design

The t-shirt design features a pumpkin patch, a cut-out illustration of adorable cats, and a fall season tree background. The design is shown on a basic short sleeve black t-shirt.

Must Have High Waisted Capri Workout Legging

 Shop Zazzle for must-have high-waisted capri workout leggings and find amazing colors and designs. I bought a black denim print Capri legging at Zazzle and I love it. The feel of the fabric and the compression fit is not only comfortable but it gives me a perfect shape. Even my husband likes the legging. 

You bet the Capri legging is a must-have for every woman.

The legging wears well as I have worn them to power walk, exercise, and work in the garden, and after a whole lot of bending, I found that the knees did not stretch out. This legging kept its shape even though I squatted, twisted, and turned. The stretch recovery is wonderful and the waistband stayed in place, I didn’t have to pull it up which means the fit is excellent.

I washed the legging in the delicate cycle took it out shook and hung it to dry. After several washes, this Capri legging looks just as good as when I bought it.

I will definitely be buying another pair of Capri leggings for the warm days of fall. If you have not bought this style of legging you should. You will love the way the fabric feels on your skin and the way the compression fit makes you look. 

Know that I prefer black outfits and thought the buffalo plaid or zebra print Capri legging would be darling with a black tunic top and black ballet flats.

Here are a few of my dark color capri legging must-have favorites.

Love Faux Wrapped Canvas Prints at Zazzle

 If you like the way a wrapped canvas print looks but not the cost then you will love a faux-wrapped canvas print at Zazzle.com

The faux-wrapped canvas prints are a cost-effective alternative to a traditional wrapped canvas that will cost you $100.00 plus and a faux Canvas 10X10 size is under $25.00. 

So if you are seeking a canvas print for a cherished memory like your wedding, a special family photo, or a keepsake then shop for a canvas print that is made with a special ink-receptive coating to protect the surface from cracking or fading. A museum-quality canvas print at Zazzle is stunning and will last a lifetime. But if you want to update the walls in your home with affordable wall art then shop for a faux canvas print or create your own canvas print by uploading a photo onto a template.

Know that I would not recommend a faux canvas print had I not bought one. See the image below. I created the deer print from a photograph I took with my phone. I then uploaded it to a template canvas print and it was easy to edit and create wall art for my home.

I was amazed at the finished product. The faux wrapped canvas print was not only the perfect size but it was also very easy to fold the edges to create the canvas look. I am very satisfied with my purchase as you can from the photo that it is quality made with colorful printing that is perfect.

Many people are spending more time at home and find that they are cooking meals, baking or they are doing crafts. Whatever you are doing you will find that an apron is a must.  

Cute plant lady pink and white apron for her

Normally I wear an apron when I garden because I do not want my clothes to get soiled but thanks to COVID-19 and the stay-at-home orders I find that I am cooking more and need an apron to keep food stains from my clothing.

Zazzle came out with some all-over printed aprons that I really like. The aprons are made from polyester which means they will not wrinkle and after you launder them they will not need ironing. Your apron will look perfect (no wrinkles) at all times no matter what you are doing.

I shopped at Zazzle.com and found some beautiful floral tote bags. All bags shown were created by independent designers. Each tote shown is bursting with colorful flower blooms and the bags feature a unique design. Know that when you buy a tote bag at Zazzle that each tote bag is printed when you order it, not mass-produced like shops do at the mall.

The tote bags come in a variety of sizes so you can choose the right size for your needs. A larger size will hold your laptop, tablet, groceries, and more. A small bag is perfect for your everyday things, cosmetics bag, phone, tablet, and wallet.

Here are a few of my favorite tote bags. It may be difficult to choose just one so buy one for yourself and another for your daughter or your friend. Tote bags that can be used every day for miscellaneous things can also be used for shopping or for traveling.

Beer Steins For Daily Use or Occasion Gifts

Beer steins come in a variety of styles, and shapes and are made out of stoneware, pewter, porcelain, glass, and ceramic. Some have hinged tops with a thumb lever that is used to open the lid so that you can drink from the stein. and others have open tops. Steins are used for drinking beer however at my house we use them as a display on our mantle and in a glass case. Rarely do we drink beer from them but that is not to say that we have not enjoyed them over the years during the holidays and at an Oktoberfest dinner.

The classic beer stein that you would find in Germany or Bavaria is made out of stoneware and the designs are quite unique. The steins are usually sold for special occasions like a housewarming party, a holiday, or for a special event. Many people collect the steins because of their style and ornamental designs.

Since my husband is a collector I make a point to buy him a stein every Christmas. He has a few pewter steins with hinged tops that are from the early 1900s and are handmade German steins. These antiques never come out of the glass cabinet. They are truly prized for their craftsmanship. He also collects the Budweiser Clydesdale steins, the holiday series that began in 1980. Like any collector, my husband will buy steins that are part of a series, antique steins, and steins for everyday usage.

The beer steins at Zazzle are perfect for everyday use or for giving at a housewarming. birthday, Christmas, or another occasion gift. The stein features a traditional German design that has ornate borders at the rim and base and a detailed handle. The beer stein is available in 2 colors; white with metallic gold and gray with blue color.  Another feature is that you can buy them as shown or you can upload your own photograph or logo and make your own.

What I liked about Zazzle’s beer steins is they have good look at them and we can use them daily if we want and do not have to worry if they are broken. They would also be thoughtful Christmas gifts or housewarming gifts for anyone who likes to drink beer.

Here are a few of my favorite stein designs. All were created by the independent designers at Zazzle.
