Honoring Our Heroes: Celebrating Veterans Day at Chivilla Bay

As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, November brings with it a special occasion to express our deepest gratitude and respect for the brave men and women who have served our nation. Veterans Day is a time-honored tradition where we come together as a nation to pay tribute to our heroes, past and present.

Join us in celebrating Veterans Day with a heartwarming collection of gifts that speak volumes of appreciation.

A Legacy of Service

Veterans Day, originally known as Armistice Day, commemorates the end of World War I and the signing of the armistice on November 11, 1918. Over the years, it has evolved into a day of remembrance and gratitude for all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Our veterans have stood as guardians of freedom, and their selfless service and dedication have safeguarded the liberties we hold dear.

The Perfect Gifts for Veterans

At Chivilla Bay, we understand the significance of Veterans Day, and we've curated a collection of thoughtful gifts to help you express your gratitude in the most meaningful way. Here are some of our top picks:

3. Care Packages: Assemble care packages filled with gourmet treats, books, and cozy blankets to send to veterans in hospitals or care facilities. We can help you put together the perfect package.

4. Veteran Apparel: Show your support with veteran-themed apparel, from T-shirts and hoodies to hats and accessories.

5. Handwritten Notes: Sometimes, a heartfelt note can mean the world. Write a letter of thanks to a veteran you know, and we'll help you add a personal touch to your message with beautifully crafted cards.

Honoring Our Heroes Year-Round

While Veterans Day is a special occasion to express our gratitude, let's remember that our veterans deserve recognition and support year-round. At Chivilla Bay, we believe in celebrating and honoring our heroes every day, not just on November 11th.

This Veterans Day, let's come together as a community to celebrate and honor the brave men and women who have served our country.

Date: October 14, 2023

Time: 10 AM - 12 PM

Join The Party!

Trick or Treat! Come in with your costume, and your Frannie and Friend's dressed up, too! Or just dress up your Friend. Get some goodies while you celebrate Halloween with us.

Costume contest for Frannie and Friends characters, but we would love to see the human friends dressed up as well! 

Prize is a customized kids flip to tumbler -- better get to work!

Here's an opportunity to get creative! Make or purchase a costume for your Frannie and Friends buddy. Your Frannie and Friends costume does not have to be purchased with us, but you DO need to have a Frannie and Friends stuffy. Other stuffed animals are not allowed to enter.

Hmmm… Costume Ideas to Match Your New Friend!

Halloween is just around the corner, and kids are buzzing with excitement about choosing the perfect costume. But what if there was a way to make this year's costume contest even more memorable and fun? Match with the Frannie and Friends crew! Here, we have a list of imaginative costume ideas that not only give kids a chance to shine but also allow their stuffed Friends to join in the costume contest festivities. So, get ready, because we're about to embark on a creative journey together!

Gooo TEAM!: Cheerleading Squad

Imagine hitting the costume contest stage with your Friend dressed as a miniature cheerleader! Find or make a matching cheerleading outfit for your stuffed buddy, complete with a tiny pom-pom. Together, you can cheer your hearts out, and the judges won't be able to resist your enthusiasm.

Sleepover!: Bed Head Buddies

For a costume that's both comfy and hilarious, go for a "bed head" theme. Dress up in cozy pajamas and a robe, and don't forget the oversized slippers. Your Friend can get in on the action with pajamas of their own! It's a costume that screams, "We're ready for a cozy night in!"

Superheroes: The Dynamic Duo

Why not team up with your stuffed animal and become a dynamic superhero duo? Find your favorite hero and pick one for your Friend, too! Go ahead and save the day with you best Friend, and look super cute while doing it!

Ready, Break!: Teammates

Show off your sporty side by coordinating jerseys with your Friend. Whether you're dressing up as a baseball player, a basketball star, or a tennis pro, make sure your plush buddy gets a matching jersey or sports gear. Together, you'll score big points with the judges.

Meow, Ruff, Moo: Animal Twins

Transform into an animal-themed pair with your Friend by your side. You could dress up as a zookeeper while your plush friend takes on the role of a favorite animal, like a lion or a tiger. Or be animal besties and match your new Friend’s costume! Coordinate your outfits and accessories to create a striking resemblance.

Long Live The Kids: Royal Rulers

Bring a touch of regal elegance to the costume contest by becoming a royal pair. Dress up as a prince, princess, king, or queen, and ensure your stuffed animal companion is equally regal with a matching crown and outfit. You'll command attention and captivate the judges with your royal charm.

See You Soon!

These costume ideas are not only a fantastic way to dazzle the judges at a costume contest but also a unique opportunity for children to bond with their new Friend. Prepping these coordinating costumes together can be a memorable and creative bonding experience, fostering imagination and teamwork.

So, whether you choose to lead the cheers, save the day, or rule a plush kingdom, remember that the most important thing is to have fun and create cherished memories. Get crafting, and let your imaginations run wild as you prepare for the costume contest of a lifetime!

How To Order Custom T-Shirts With Chivilla Bay

So, you want to order a custom shirt. You’ve taken your first step in the right direction! We are here to help you through the process, but here is some information to get you started.

What We Need To Know

To order a custom shirt, send us an email! Make sure to include as much of the following information as you can. Also, make sure to include your phone number and email so we can contact you while we are designing your new favorite shirt. 

Who Is This Shirt For?

We love to get to know our customers–let us know who this custom gift is being designed for! Please tell us the name of the recipient (or if it is for yourself, #selfcare).

Select A Style

The first selection you need to make is the style–comfort is king! V-neck, Long sleeve, short sleeve, crewneck, hooded sweatshirt, or something else? Whatever you pick will be a beautiful canvas for this one-of-a-kind design.

Choose A Color 

Second, you pick the color. Make it a favorite! The color is extremely important as this dictates the colors in the design. If you are going for a dark design, we recommend a lighter colored shirt. Lighter design, pick a darker color!

Fabric Type

Don’t forget, the fabric of your shirt can help make this your new favorite clothing item. Choose from cotton, cotton blend, or polyester. The fabric you choose also helps us determine what printing style helps your design adhere the best!

Design Your Shirt (Or We Can Help)

Time for teamwork! Let us know if there are certain elements you are looking for. Pictures, graphics, illustrations? Is there something you need this shirt to say? Make sure we are on the same page with your dream design and we can help make it a reality.

If you don’t quite have a design in mind, don’t panic. We can guide you through the design process by asking a few questions and presenting a few design ideas. Together, we can come up with the perfect shirt. 

What You Need To Know

Printing

After you approve the final design, we get started on the printing. Based on the fabric you chose, we go in with one of two printing methods. 

1. Direct-To-Garment – is the process of printing directly onto the t-shirt. This is best for cotton and cotton blend garments, but improvements have been made over the years so polyesters can use this process, as well.
2. Sublimation – is the process of using heat to transfer the inks into polyester fabrics. This works well on high polyester fabrics. The drawback to sublimation is that it cannot print white. Any white space in the design will simply be the color of the shirt.

Inspection

Once printed and pressed, a final inspection is performed to make sure you are receiving a high-quality product.

Pickup And Shipping

Come and get it! Once this inspection is completed the shirt is ready for you to pick up.

If you have selected to have the shirt shipped to you, this is when transit will begin!
