Website of the Week: Zazzle.com for Dazzling Customizable Gifts

June 21, 2009 By Leticia

Was your Father’s Day gift a hit or a big disappointment? Here it was a hit. I scored two Beastie Boys tickets (unlike those elusive White House Easter Egg Roll tickets!) as an early Father’s Day gift for Tech Savvy Daddy and today Little Miss Techie and Captain Computer pulled out all the stops for a fabulous day.

Hopefully the dad in your life had a great day but if not, you can brighten dad’s spirits with a $25 shopping spree on Zazzle.com.

If you are wondering what in the world Zazzle is, it is a fabulous site where you can create and customize all kinds of things. 19,533,855,985 things to be exact! Personalize the basics (shirts, mugs, tie, mousepads, business cards) with your own logo or design your own postage, Keds shoes, skateboard decks, and even pet clothing. Or turn a digital photo of your family into a 3D photo sculpture.

If you aren’t feeling particularly creative or none of your graphics are up to snuff, shop the millions of designs to find something that is as unique as you are. Once you select your graphic, decorate your product of choice. If you want the image on a T, just know that there are over 450 styles and colors of shirts to choose from including mens, womens, kid, baby ringers, long sleeve, short sleeve, v-neck, polos, tank tops, organic cotton, sustainable…You get the idea! The selection is wonderfully overwhelming!

Not only is the selection amazing but the customer service is incredibly responsive. I logged on to the site to check the status of the 2 shirts that I ordered only to find that my order had been mysteriously cancelled. I was puzzled since I got a confirmation upon placing my order 2 weeks before but heard nothing about a problem with my order. A quick message to customer service and writing to @Zazzle on Twitter generated a response just hours later. FYI- I sent the e-mail on a Friday night. (Yes, exciting Friday nights at the Tech Savvy household!) Apparently Zazzle employees work crazy hours even on Friday nights to resolve issues quickly. Mine was resolved even before I woke up on Saturday morning! Now I’m just waiting for my shirt and Tech Savvy Daddy’s shirt with this logo to arrive!

Enter to win a $25 shopping spree courtesy of Zazzle by visiting their site and posting a link to your favorite product in your comment.

***For an extra entry, Twitter about this contest by putting @Zazzle and @TechSavvyMama in your Tweet. Then leave a second comment with your Twitter ID and a link to your Tweet.

Comments will be accepted until Noon next Sunday and the winner will be sent a gift code for instant gratification!

And for the remaining days of June, take advantage of free shipping with no minimum order when you use the code JUNESHIPFREE.

No promotional consideration was paid in exchange for this post but I have to send huge thanks to Zazzle for making sure that my order arrived to me quickly after the cancellation mishap and for offering a shopping spree to my readers!

Thanks for reading Tech Savvy Mama through your feed!

    I’m totally entering later today when I can check out their site. LOVE that zazzle can do so many things, though–can’t wait too check it out!

    And I will forever be jealous about your bboys tickets. You have one lucky husband!

    I can’t pick just one thing, hope that’s okay. My husband is a Zazzle addict. I guess he loves the t-shirts the best.

    My favorite is the blank save the date magnets b/c I had to make 200 of these by hand 7 years ago b/c such a thing didn’t exist!

    This resulted in a major bridezilla moment when I didn’t like the champagne glass rubber stamp I was using and burst into tears and my fiance just didn’t understand the magnitude of the issue… yeah… I’m just saying Zazzle may be saving marriages.

    Of course I like the “Pale is the New Tan” shirt also, because I’m, uh, pale.

My best advice to parents of college students? Whe My best advice to parents of college students? When they say “you should come” - GO! ✈️

Over the last 4 years it’s been so wonderful to be invited for glimpses of Emily’s life on campus. I’ve been welcomed by her amazing friends who have become part of our family, met the professors, faculty & staff she talks so fondly of, and gotten to know fellow parents through trips to Family Weekend all while enjoying time with my best girl. 💕

Today I’m heading home as a proud mom with a full heart for all that I’ve experienced on campus during her college years and am in disbelief I’ll be back for graduation next week. 🥹

The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has fin The space portion of @silversat ‘s mission has finally come to an end but what we accomplished was pure CubeSat Joy!! 🛰️

I continue to be in awe that we put something in space that existed up there for 5 months. 🥰 Our CubeSat took photos 📸 and tweeted 🐦‍⬛them out as we hoped it would thanks to the many students (and parents!) who have been involved in our meaningful real-world hands-on STEM project that enabled them to learn about technology and space over the past 11 years.

I found some old notes from a 2015 meeting and under Questions, I wrote: “If we are successful, would we do this again?” 

And the answer is yes! 🎉 Here’s to SilverSat 2.0 and involving more kids to dream up a new mission for our next Silver Spring CubeSat! 💕

Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who ran a race over the weekend and is adding new race bling to their collection! 🎉 I did a thing this weekend too but it didn’t involve another race! 😂Here’s the before, swipe ⬅️ for the after!

Inspired by seeing @allytbrett_runs ’s race medals, I did a little medal reorg that makes my OCD self happy. 🙌🏼Pro tip- Instead of sliding the bar of the medal rack through the ribbon, I looped the ribbon around the bar so all the medals face forward! This small thing made a huge difference and makes me happy every time I walk into my office!💕

My next race is the 25th anniversary @stjude Memphis Marathon Weekend on December 5th. I’m thinking this anniversary year medal will be the start of a new medal rack, just like my 15th anniversary medal started this collection.🫶🏼

If you want to run Memphis with me, race registration is open! Comment Memphis and I’ll DM you the registration link and happy to answer any and all race ❓s!

Here’s to the most amazing coaches, fellow members becoming friends outside the studio, planning my work schedule around workouts, showing up for class on days I’d rather not just to avoid paying the cancellation fee (IYKYK), and continuing to count classes because I’m coming for you 1000! 💪🏼

WE did this Team Orangetheory! 🧡Thank you for joining me in fundraising, training, and running for St. Jude as charity runners! You showed yourselves what was possible outside the studio when you put your hard work inside to the test and made a difference for St. Jude kids and families. 🫶🏼

THANK YOU! Already excited for our studio to @runrocknroll DC next year!

Race medals are great but charity bling is better! Race medals are great but charity bling is better! 🏅When I first started running for @stjude 10 years ago, I thought I’d be one and done but here I am- 15 races later and having raised almost $50,000! 🎉

The goal has always been to help end childhood cancer and I feel so fortunate to have met the most amazing people along the way. My fellow @stjudedc Hero Ambassadors are a group of dedicated baddies who I adore. 🥰 

We cheer for each other on and off the course and as my friend & fellow DC Hero Ambassador @jess_santora says, “My goal was never just to reach the finish line- it was to help more people get there too.” 🏃🏻‍♀️

Here’s to more races, more money raised for St. Jude, and forever friendships! Already excited (and fundraising) for St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend this December. ✨Fundraising link in bio and donations of any amount are appreciated to help me reach my $4,000 goal! 🙏🏼

When Team @otfsilverspring gets out of the studio When Team @otfsilverspring gets out of the studio for @runrockandroll DC! 🎉 Today 20 of us got out from under the orange lights and crushed 5Ks and half marathons to benefit @stjude kids and families as St. Jude Heroes.💪🏼

I am so proud of each and every one of us and especially incredibly grateful that OTFSS members said yes to running today! 🥰 

We fundraised, trained, and ran to give families hope that their kids will survive childhood cancer and to support researchers as they work towards a cure for childhood cancer and other life threatening diseases. 💕

As a mom of 2, I know no parent should ever have to hear “your child has cancer” so thank you Team OTFSS for supporting St. Jude’s mission by running the streets of DC! We did it and I’m already looking forward to next year’s RNR DC race so we can do it again!🧡🧡🧡
