Fantastic Father’s Day Finds: Crazy Dog T Shirts

Lady V dZine

A few months ago, I was brainstorming, trying to come up with Father’s Day gift ideas.  My husband, Brian, has a knack for always knowing exactly what I would love to have and gets it.  I do not share that knack.  It takes me a while to find a gift that I think would be suitable.  I web browse for hours at holidays and birthdays and often agonize over getting him a gift.  Because he is an engineer, I rarely even bother with looking at gadgetry for him, as I know that he would make a much better choice on what to get.  So, I tend to lean toward clothing.

It was on one of these web browsing escapades that I found Crazy Dog T-shirts.

About Crazy Dog T-Shirts…

Birth of Crazy Dog T-shirtscdbowl: We’re CrazyDog T-Shirts and we made it here by accident. A beautiful accident to be sure, and one that has provided us years of entertainment, but still, an accident is an accident whether its spilling your milk or having a surprise kid.
7 years ago, CrazyDog Owner and CSO (Cheif Snacking Officer), Bill, started CrazyDog as an eCommerce project in the dark dormroom hallways of Ithaca College. Forgetting to take down the website, orders kept coming in, and Bill kept filling them, working out of his moms basement for a year or 2 before she stopped making him Meatloaf and told him he better start leasing the space or she’d stop making his bed and folding his laundry. Not long after that we started leasing space in the artsy Village Gate in our hometown of Rochester, NY; home of Genessee Beer, Garbage Plates, and a really nice water reservoir. Several years later our space is 3500 square feet of pure awesomeness; and we run the joint will a staff of 6 who love every minute of it.
Wondering what happened to Bill’s mean mom who stopped making meatloaf? She still works here Part-Time…packing shirts and doing Bill’s Laundry. In all seriousness though, we wouldn’t be here without some great customers. We have tons of original designs, and several that come from our partners such as David & Goliath and Junk Food Tees. We are the go to shop for funny tees, clever shirts and hilarious Couture. We wear the shirts we sell, and we think that stands for something nowadays. Real people read and answer your emails, not robots or tiny underpaid children. We think bacon is the bomb, we still say “The Bomb”, and we love naps. We work hard but have fun doing it. We are everything you think a company should be, and we stand by our promise to give you the quality shirts you deserve.
If you are unhappy with your purchase, send it on back and pick a new one! So give us a call, join the party on Facebook, Tweet us on Twitter, read the blog or peruse the site and have a giggle at some of the tees. Questions? Ask. Have a happy story to share? Email us, we love to hear it! Complaints? Speak loudly into our garbage can. We’re looking forward to having you as a customer and joining the fam. Cheers to happy accidents!

What I thought…

The site www.Crazydogtshirts.com offers a large selection of t-shirts, ranging from funny to weird and just about everything in between.  The site is easy to navigate and

Here are a few shirts from Crazy Dog T-shirts that I thought were neat…

Caffeine Addicted t shirtGizmo shirtAwesome Hands Shirt

Here is the one that I chose for Brian…

Ghostbusters t-shirt

He loves the Ghostbusters movies!

The Ghostbuster shirt is a licensed t-shirt as described on the Crazy Dog site.  As an added bonus, it glows in the dark.  I can’t wait for Brian to wear it to a bonfire!  The shirt washed well and has no flaws.

What I would change…

I wouldn’t change anything about the shirt from Crazy Dog or the site itself.

Fantastic Father’s Day Finds: Be Greater Than

Lady V dZine

I was recently introduced to a new internet based company called Be Greater Than.  After I checked out the website, I was really excited about this new company.    Be Greater (B >) was created with the vision of getting you connected to a cause you are passionate about.  You’ll love our simple design and our kickass sentiments, cleverly written in mathspeak. Take a stand.  Be Greater. What really excited me is that a portion of all proceeds from the sales of Be Greater Than products is given to a local charity.

I excitedly sent an email to the site owner to introduce myself and Lady V dZine.  We agreed to a blog review for the Fantastic Father’s Day Finds promotion.  Kelly sent me the B>yesterday shirt for my husband to review.

About the product (per http://www.begreateronline.com/)…

“The Story of B>

Last spring, my husband and I attended a family wedding where a beautiful Native American prayer was read as part of the ceremony.  It was an interesting way of making an otherwise non-religious wedding into a very spiritual celebration.  I was suddenly curious how Native Americans view their God and the energy in the universe.  When I asked my aunt Jan, the officiant of the wedding, about the prayer, her response was simple: Native Americans honor “greater than” or the Great Spirit- a spirit beyond this world, too great to be named or described.

From this conversation, B > was born.  We’ve created Be Greater Than t-shirts to inspire and motivate you to rise above whatever evils exist in your world.

What do you want to be greater than?”

What I thought…

The Be Greater Than shirt that we received for review was the B>yesterday/today/  The shirt is simple, yet makes a timeless statement.

Here is Dear Hubby modeling it (please note, the text on the shirt is actually straight, but he is standing on an uneven surface).

IMG_5183 IMG_5186

The shirt is black on sport grey, 90%cotton 10%polyester.  The typeface is slightly distressed or grunged, which adds character and appeal.  The garment washed well.

What I would change…

I really like the concept of this company, and the shirts that they produce.  I would love to see the B> line in more color options and have more B> sayings.

CafePress is a fantastic place to go when you need to give gifts.  They have a great selection of unique and personalized gifts that are easy on the budget and sure to please anyone (um, Dad?).

While I was recently browsing the CafePress site for Father’s Day Gifts, I came across these cool designs…

Superdad Black T-ShirtSuper Dad Light T-ShirtGrateful Dad Dark T-ShirtSuperDad - Metal Dark T-ShirtCan't Scare Me - A Daughter Dark T-ShirtProud Dad White T-Shirt

Too cool, right?

I decided to get my husband one of the SuperDad shirts and apron in lemon yellow.  It was a good thing I ordered them when I did, because this design has since been discontinued!  Anyway, after I ordered them, it took only a couple of days for them to arrive..

I told Mister that they were for Daddy, but he insisted on trying the apron on for size, and he thought it was just right…

My husband really looks good in the lemon yellow…

As you can see, the kids do think he is a Super Dad…

What I thought…

What I love about CafePress is that it is SO easy to navigate the site.  You can enter key words into the search box, and it will give you a TON of items to look at.  Additionally, you can customize gifts by adding photos, clipart, etc.  For those of you who do digital scrapbooking… you could add a layout to a shirt!  How is that for cool?

CafePress has a whole host of products to shop from, including t-shirts, boxers, aprons, hoodies, mugs, posters, bumper stickers, and more.  And they now accept PayPal, which is FANTASTIC!

Here are a few random items I found when I was not looking for Father’s Day items…

What I would change…

Nothing, just make sure you have a minute when you visit!  Needless to say, you could spend HOURS browsing… I did.
