Humorous, Fun-Scary Halloween Trick or Treat Gifts

The Ticklish Mermaids will be out in force this Halloween! And they've got something for you, if you're wondering how you're going to keep the kids happy (or keep them from your door!) on October 31st... Folk Artist Kim Cleghorn, whose Ticklish Mermaid designs cannot fail to make you smile, has come up with a range of designs especially for Halloween...

So here are a few suggestions....How about buying a packet of buttons - some people call them badges - or fridge magnets, to give to those demanding trick-or-treaters appearing at your door? Our Ticklish Mermaids Halloween Buttons come in a range of sizes (mini, 2.25" and 3.5") and you can either buy just one, or order them in packs of 10 or 100...same goes for our Halloween Fridge Magnets.



And how about a special Halloween Tote Bag for the kids? They'll need something in which to collect all those goodies! If you're not sure about this one, here's another option (hold on, 'cause it'll make you laugh!)

And let's face it - the kids are going to want to dress up too...so how about our Halloween t-shirts, available to buy now in a range of different colors?


It gets exhausting, all this giving, doesn't it? So why not treat yourself? Here's a design to make you laugh - it comes on a range of products, in addition to T-shirts in a selection of colors:

Tickled Pink by Ticklish Mermaids

You may have noticed we are behind the times in welcoming Kim Cleghorn and her utterly delightful Ticklish Mermaids to Dezine Design, but it's not for want of enthusiasm...we've been so busy uploading her gorgeous, whimsical, humorous designs into our online store...and what a fun collection it's turning out to be!

As for the Ticklish Mermaids, quite honestly, they speak for themselves (just take a look and you'll see what I mean), but if you want to find out a bit more about their creator, Kim Cleghorn, and what inspires her, you can read her biography where, in her own words, she tells you a little about herself and her work.

It would be unacceptable to leave you without a taster of the Ticklish Mermaids themselves, so here are a couple of designs to whet your appetite. Click on either one to see the wide array of t-shirts, mugs, mousepads, greeting cards, clocks, keepsake boxes (and much more) which are available now to buy online in Dezine Design's Ticklish Mermaids Online Store...



Don't you just love the sting in her tail?

Stitch 'Em Up! Embroidered Products for Business & Baby

Do you need corporate logo clothing for your business? Or are you looking to create some personalized office gifts for Christmas?

Or - looking at this from a totally different angle - can you imagine customizing your own baby clothes, embroidered with your baby's name and a special design?

We recently came across this company called Threadsmith and once we started looking through their website, we realized what a wonderful opportunity they are providing for both baby and business owners... The chance to create your own high quality embroidered clothing and products in an instant!

Threadsmith makes creating and buying custom-embroidered products simple and fast. Their website offers powerful, easy to use web tools, allowing you to choose your own wording, lettering, color and style.

To make things even easier for their customers, Threadsmith offers two design options for all their products. You can either "Start from Scratch" (and create entirely your own design) or you can "Start from a Template" (whereby you can start with one of Threadsmith's beautifully designed templates, and personalize the design with your own name and/or logo.) All the products come in a wide variety of colors and sizes so you can create exactly the look you want.

Cleverly (we thought), Threadsmith have identified their distinct target markets and separated their product offerings into two corresponding categories: Baby Shop and Small Business Store (soon to joined by a Groups Shop.)


BABY PRODUCTS

The baby products available to be custom-embroidered include: Baby Blankets, Bibs, Burp Cloths and Baby Clothing, such as Infant Sweatshirts, T-shirts, One-Pieces and more. Each product is available in a wide range of colors, and you can customize and personalize each product as much or as little as you like...you can see a few of Threadsmith's baby design templates above and below...and there are dozens more to choose from...or you can create your very own personalized design...it's entirely up to you.

Imagine what an impression you could make at your friend's baby shower if you brought a custom-embroidered gift? Or how exciting it would be to have your own baby's name on his/her blanket or bib (or indeed create a matching set of products, all embroidered with your baby's name!)


BUSINESS PRODUCTS EMBROIDERED WITH YOUR CORPORATE LOGO

Choose from a wide range of different colored Polo Shirts (men's and women's), Sweatshirts, T-shirts, Button Down Shirts, Hats, Shorts and Tote Bags. Upload and place your existing logo or use Threadsmith's business design templates to create something new...

Custom business embroidery offers you the chance to promote your company in style and to create fabulous office gifts for Christmas (or other special occasions), which will continue to publicize your business the whole year round.


Good things to know about ordering from Threadsmith:

  • There is no minimum order and no set-up fees
  • All designs can be created from scratch or based on popular templates which you can personalize
  • All products come in a range of colors and sizes
  • You can preview your design before you order
  • Ordering takes minutes and your product ships within 48 hours

We've enjoyed exploring this site and recommend you take a look too - it's interesting to see how many different personalized embroidery options are available...especially if you (as we do) love the look of embroidered products...

By the way, don't you think this is also a great idea for creating personalized wedding gifts?
