Kids Birthday Themed Plates

Recently Zazzle introduced paper plates. I have been spending a lot of time this past week designing paper plates that match many of my kids birthday T-shirts, birthday invitations, birthday buttons, postage stamps, dipped Oreos, etc. to my Kids Birthdays Store! To see just my birthday paper plates and napkins section of the store click here!
The paper plates come in two sizes, 7 inch diameter and 9 inch diameter. I'd say the larger plates are great for the party food such as pizza and sloppy joes with chips and veggies and dip. The smaller 7 inch diameter size seems to be a great size for the birthday cake and ice cream or other dessert.
I am really just still at the beginning of a very long stretch ahead of adding birthday paper plates and then of course, more of the napkins because I'd like to eventually have all the matching items people want for birthday celebrations for their children including the T-shirts and bodysuits, bibs, bags, birthday buttons, birthday party invites, napkins, and the paper plates. Slowly but surely I am adding and feel right now that I have a rather good selection but as I said, I have a lot of work ahead of me adding more. In the meantime, if you see a shirt design you like but not the paper plates or napkins, let me know and I'll try to add it for you. Same for the invitations...see an invite you want but not the matching plate? Email me and I'll try to add it for you!
When designing my kids birthday paper plates I keep in mind that it's a fun, happy time, so the colors are vibrant, the designs fun, lots of decorative edging to the plates whether chevron stripes, polka dots, gingham checks, vertical stripes, checkered flag print, geometric pattern, or stars! I have added many different themes and most of them are for kids from first birthday to 5th birthday, although it depends as many are up to 7th birthday and some, such as bowling birthday goes up to the 10th birthday!
Some of the birthday themes include circus birthday, puppy dog birthday, princess birthday, ocean and under the sea birthday, racing car birthday, bowling birthday, swinging monkeys and barrel of monkeys birthday, mermaid, octopus, robot, lucky ladybug, owls, frogs, teddy bears, farm birthday, space ship, train birthday, lions, pigs, baseball birthday, cows, fairy princess, little angel, elephants, penguins, construction vehicles, super heroes, lucky dog, magic, kittens, cowboy and cowgirl birthday,  rock star girl, safari, mad scientist, fiesta, slumber party, bounce house, spa party, and more to come!
The birthday paper plates are made in the USA and  are FDA approved for food contact and safety, sold in sets of 8!
Check out some of the paper plates I have added this week and some of the matching items we already have in our Kids Birthday Store, and again, if you see a design you like but not the matching item you want, email me and I will do my best to add it for you!


Some of our paper plates such as these cute dog lover plates have an area you can customize with a thank you message to your guests for attending the party, or other text of your choice. Many of our plates have an area you can add your child's name and age as well!

And although all birthdays are special, the very first birthday is especially special because it's the very first one! So with this in mind, I have created some extra first birthday plates that I hope you will agree are perfect for baby's first birthday celebration whether it's a party of eight or 100!

Wildlife Pillows, Serving Trays, Throw Blankets

A couple months ago, I was elated to learn I was one of the silver winners of the Zazzle Baby It's Cold Outside Design Challenge. My entry consisted of a deer buck and doe throw pillow, deer buck and doe in birch forest throw blanket, black bears in birch forest flask, serving tray with bears in a birch forest, deer in birch forest wrapped canvas art, and deer in birch forest playing cards. As a silver design challenge winner, I received some much appreciated promotion and some much appreciated gifts! Zazzle sent me the throw blanket, large serving tray, and throw pillow with the wildlife bear and deer designs that I submitted for the contest.
Just this morning I finally got around to snapping a few photos of the products they sent me. First, let me say that I am very, very, very pleased with all three products. Having already seen and owning the throw pillow and serving tray (different designs) I knew they would be quality products with great printing. They are! The pillow is beautiful, and I absolutely love the fabric. The pillow is polyester and is 16x16 inches, a perfect size, not too big, not too small. I love the polyester fabric, it's smooth and soft and yet holds it's shape well. The printing is bright, crisp, and clear, exactly as pictured on the site. The bottom of the pillow has a hidden zipper which is easy to miss as it's hidden so well. You can take the entire cover of the pillow off and wash it in your washing machine! And for me, seeing that it's made in the USA is an added bonus!
I purchased a serving tray this holiday season so I knew what to expect, except the serving tray I purchased was the small size and the one Zazzle sent me as the contest prize is the large serving tray. Same quality, same great black finish, same vibrant printing, except larger. The bears and birch trees design looks stunning on the black tray. The dimensions of the large tray: 19" w x 14" l x 2.625" d. This tray is also available in the natural wood finish. The tray itself has a nice, glossy finish and I know from experience it is easy to wipe down and dry if you spill something or get it dirty. Love these trays!
The third item that Zazzle sent to me is the blanket throw, which I had never seen before. I was pleasantly surprised that it's thicker and heavier than I expected. It's not real heavy but a nice weight, enough to keep it from bunching up and has a quality feel to it. At 54x38 inches it's a nice size, great for snuggling with, and what surprised me was that when I took it out of the package it was wrinkle free, even after shipping and being folded up! It's 50% cotton and 50% polyester. PURE-tech wicking technology enables eco-friendly, rapid drying, reduces static, and gives your blanket a longer life. This throw is also made in the USA! Hand washing is recommended for this throw, and I think that makes perfect sense.

I took photos of all these items! I took photos of both sides of the pillow as there is a different print on each side. I also took photos of the back of the throw to show you what that looks like, which is lovely by the way. And I took a photo or two of the pillow zipper to show you how well it's hidden.
If you like bears, deer, bucks, doe, wildlife, nature, forests, trees, birch trees, and have a wildlife theme in your home or cabin, if you are  a sportsman or someone who loves wildlife, either way you're sure to like the designs and after seeing, feeling, and owning the products I can say with confidence that they are beautiful and quality items with vivid, quality printing.
Here is a photo of all three items, the deer doe pillow front, about half the deer in birch forest throw blanket as it's folded over the back of my chair, and the bear in birch forest serving tray.
And here is a photo of the serving tray itself. As you can see, the colors and printing is vibrant and beautiful. The black finish of the serving tray is rich looking and there are cut out handles on the right and left side of the tray for easy carrying.
The second photo is of the bottom of the pillow with the zipper partially open. You can see the synthetic filled insert that you can easily remove in order to wash the pillow cover. You can also see how well hidden the zipper is. If not for the little white zipper pull you would miss that there's a zipper entirely!
The next photo is of the second side of the pillow. I love that you can reverse this pillow for an entirely different, yet matching design. That's what's fun about throw pillows with two sides, it's like having two different pillows! Both sides of the pillow are black and white with deer and birch trees, but two different designs. Perfect!

Here's a photo of the deer blanket throw a bit more open, still thrown over the back of the living room chair.  Blue sky seen between the white birch trees, more vivid white birch trees, a bit of forest foliage and weeds, and of course, a big antlered buck and smaller doe! In case you wondered how the back of the throw blanket looks I've taken a photo of that as well. You can see the back is not printed but still pretty, and fringe all around. I did absolutely nothing so far as smoothing out, trying to get out wrinkles, or anything else, this is right from the folded, shipped items put in place quickly and photos snapped.
If you love these items and want to purchase them or read more about the product specs, here they are, as well as a few of my other wildlife, bear, deer, designs on quality Zazzle products.
