The Crazy Dazy is YOUR Gift Source


Do you live in a different state but your niece is having her first birthday? Is your granddaughter 600 miles away and getting ready to start her first dance class and you want to buy her something special? Are you looking for a special gift for the next birthday party your child goes to—one that didn’t come from Wal-Mart? The Crazy Dazy is fast becoming an online gift resource for those who want to do something special for the gift recipient and give a meaningful & memorable gift.

For example, I LOVE giving personalized Stephen Joseph quilted backpacks as baby shower gifts. They are so practical in function, yet they are so upscale because they are unique in design and personalized . That’s the best of both worlds!

And for the grandparents who don’t live close to their granddaughter who is starting dance, yet they want to participate in the big event, our personalized dance bags are a must. They hold her shoes, and with her name on the bag, there’s no confusion at dance class, and your gift is so special because you put her name on it.

For the parent who is always racking his brain on what to get for the next birthday party your child goes to, our birthday gifts are a welcome relief, and delivered right to your door. No angst of shopping with your child who likes everything in the Target toy department for themselves. I've found that shopping at The Crazy Dazy for unique birthday gifts saves me time and hassle, plus the birthday kid gets a cool toy that they can’t find at Wal-Mart. Decision made, time saved, gas saved, money saved. I’m done. Turn on the tivo. The rest of the night is mine. Love how easy that is!

These things combined make for unique gifts for children that can’t be found at the big box stores. The Crazy Dazy also offers high-quality, digitized, embroidered personalization that will hold up for the life of your product.


But why should you choose The Crazy Dazy for your Stephen Joseph purchase? Let us tell you why!


  1. The Crazy Dazy offers the complete line of Stephen Joseph gifts, not just a few categories. Many of our competitors only offer a limited selection. If we don’t have it in stock, we can usually have it within 1-2 weeks, as we receive weekly shipments from Stephen Joseph, Inc.

  2. The Crazy Dazy order lots of product so occasionally we get to offer exclusive items from Stephen Joseph. When we have an exclusive, it will be labeled on the site.

  3. The Crazy Dazy guarantees your Stephen Joseph product free from defects for 120 days from date of first use or we will replace it!

  4. The Crazy Dazy uses high-quality, digitized, embroidered personalization—not a personalization that merely stitches from side to side or is silk screened on.

  6. We offer you great customer service. We review each order personally to make sure we understand what you want. If we have any questions, we reach out to our customers to make sure their item is what they envisioned. We don’t just assume we know what you want and “push it on down the assembly line”!

  7. We offer personalization previews! Just ask. We’ll have a preview of your embroidery, often right on the bag, emailed to you within 1-2 business days check for color, size and placement before we stitch!

  8. We let you choose where you want your personalization! You’ll often find that other retailers choose the location for you. If it’s workable, we’ll embroider where YOU want it—and we’ll show you an example of the personalization in that spot right on the website!

  9. We can get your order out fast! Just choose expedited shipping, and we’ll drop everything to get your order to you. We even paid someone $5 one time to give us their spot in the post office line so we could meet a customer’s deadline! And we’ve stayed until 11:30 p.m. working on our customer’s expedited orders! Those are just a few examples of how we work to make your gift arrive on time!

  10. We’ve been around longer than almost all our competition! Since 2004, we have been bringing America and the World the adorable line of Stephen Joseph Gifts, and we look forward to many more years of doing so!

It’s field trip time- we will help you pack lunch!!


It’s the time of year when all the classrooms go for a day away from school; that’s right- IT IS FIELD TRIP TIME!! Whether it’s the children’s museum, a zoo or a local farm, one thing’s for sure— your child is going to need to bring their lunch!
We have moved beyond the brown paper bag. Get your child an insulated laptop lunchbox that can keep the cold things cold and the hot things hot!

Having a personalized lunchbox will eliminate any confusion when the kids are looking for their lunch. In addition, a lunchbox or lunch sack will hold a drink or small thermos.

Some lunch sacks come with lunchbox notes to send in your child’s lunch. These notes let your child know you are thinking of them even if you’re not able to go on the big trip. Also, if you want a matching backpack, there are backpacks with matching lunchboxes available.

Find this and much much more at The Crazy Dazy!

Be ready for dance recital season!


Does the thought of dance recitals or twirling competitions stress you out? If it doesn't, please post a comment and teach us all how to remain calm! You know how it is, you have to have her hair and makeup just right, and keep everything organized. If you’re like me; you probably have an extra kid or two in tow, which is fun for the girls but even more stress for the moms.

Oh, the joys of this busy time in our lives! In our family we have two twirling competitions and two dance/twirling recitals in the next two months. That doesn't even count our son's activities. So, how does The Crazy Dazy help us get ready for competitions and recitals?

Personalized dance garment bags are wonderful for keeping the costumes safe & together & organized, plus having her name embroidered on the bag eliminates any confusion in case bags are alike (and doesn't it seem like they are all alike when you can't find yours?).

Personalized dance bags keep shoes and tights and small costume items together and organized. Plus, a water bottle for refreshment between performances.

Personalized dance cosmetic bags keep her makeup organized.

And for all her hard work, get her a gift that will last longer than flowers. The Crazy Dazy has about 100 dance recital gifts to choose from for your dancer.

Using the organization tools that The Crazy Dazy provides you for your dance recital will help you be able to sit back & relax & enjoy the moment of her performance, knowing that your dancing Cinderella will soon be grown.

Fresh Ideas for Her Birthday Party!

Remember when we were little? Birthday parties were a combination of red Kool-Aid and musical chairs! Things have come a LONG way! Now moms rent the penthouse and take the girls into the city for pampering or rent dance studios where girls learn a dance routine and make a music video starring the birthday girl.

If this is the type of party you have in mind, or if you are looking for something a little lower key, The Crazy Dazy can help you!

A princess party- Start the party off right by getting everyone in the mood! We suggest you invite girls to wear pretty dresses and provide them with a pretty folded paper fans and inexpensive tiaras. On the menu - serve apple juice (it is less messy than that red Kool-Aid), sandwiches cut into heart and star shapes with a cookie cutter, bite size fruit pieces, and small cheese cubes. A princess cake on a tall cake stand is the perfect centerpiece and a yummy dessert!



At The Crazy Dazy we have lots of princess party favors too! Find Crown Penny Pals Doodle Dudes, and Jiggly Jotters, browse our entire Princess collection!

A dancer's party- This party can be held at home or any place that has a large area to dance. Have an older girl that is a friend of the family who is a dancer come & teach the girls a dance routine. Film the routine and burn copies to send in the thank you cards.



The Crazy Dazy has cute dance birthday party favors , plus almost 100 other dance gifts to choose from.

So make it a big party without too much fuss! After all, she’ll never have this birthday again!

Traveling to Dinsey World- Tips from The Crazy Dazy Part I


Heading for Disney World for vacation? Consider giving your child their own backpack to help relieve your load when traveling. The Crazy Dazy has over 500 children’s backpacks and accessories for your Disney World vacation needs.

They can even carry their backpack into the park. This is especially helpful when you have a baby whose stuff takes up all the room in the parent’s bag. The child’s backpack can easily be stored in a locker, or mom or dad can hold it when they’re on the flying Dumbo ride- or the backpack can fly on Dumbo, too!


About 9 out of 10 of our customers have us embroider their child’s first name on their backpack. A few customers have asked about safety concerns regarding having their child’s name on a backpack. Our position is that if your child’s surroundings and exposure will be controlled at all time by an adult you trust, it should be okay to put their name on their backpack. For example, our kids are always right with us during vacation, so I allow them to have their name embroidered on their backpack. The same applies with school—my kids are dropped off at the front door and picked up at the front door—they don’t walk home (too far—7.5 miles—uphill both ways), so they are always with a responsible adult. Therefore, we allow them to have a personalized backpack.

At The Crazy Dazy, we want to help you make your vacation the best it can be!
