Here’s the next group of talented finalists in our Flag Fables Outdoor Design Contest. It’s so interesting to see how a single design can inspire such different settings!
And it’s so much fun to see the flags, doormats, mailbox covers and even Yard DeSigns paired with the tradition holiday decorations like wreaths, garlands, lights and snowmen!

Next on the holiday gift idea list: the men in your life!
There are few more direct ways into the hearts & minds of most of the husbands, sons, fathers, grandfathers and nephews in our lives than sports. Whether for holiday gifts, birthday gifts or just about any gift-giving occasion, sports-themed items are always a “hit!”
Over the years we have put together a great collection of sports-themed flags for everything from Major League Baseball (MLB) garden flags and MLB standard flags, to National Football League (NFL) garden flags and NFL standard flags. From golf, fishing, bowling, car racing and skiing printed flags to basketball, hockey, lacrosse and soccer handcrafted applique flags. We also have other sports-themed products including MatMates, Yard DeSigns, and MailWraps.

Patriots Team Flag

And if you’re concerned that your husband’s or son’s sports team enthusiasm won’t match with your outdoor setting designs, flags also make great indoor decorations. In the same way so many of our customers have been having great fun with indoor flags as artwork in children’s bedrooms and playrooms, sports flags make great additions in family recreation rooms and even garages.

So you can have the best of both worlds AND get the favorite men in your life gifts they’ll love this holiday season!
Happy Holidays!

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin or family friend, buying just the right gifts for children can be challenging! It’s tough to know a child’s (or their parents’) tastes in clothing, let alone the right size. And it’s not always easy to know which toys are appropriate, or to keep up with which toys children might already have.
It seems that more and more of our customers are having great success with flags as gifts for children. As much as we all love flags in outdoor settings, they also make great indoor artwork in children’s bedrooms or play rooms!!
Flags can help make your gift-giving easy and fun: size isn’t an issue with flags; they’ll continue to be a colorful addition to the room as the child gets older; we have hundreds of designs for you to choose from; and they’re a unique & fun gift that can be used year-round!
.
Flag Art in Children's Play Rooms
.
Using flags indoors isn’t complicated – they can easily be hung on a wall with a wooden dowel and picture hook. Or they can be mounted on metal or painted doors, like a child’s bedroom door, or a window with a small plastic dowel that attaches with small suction cups.
.
"Chilly & Company" Printed Garden Flag
.
The smaller window/door dowel accommodates garden-size flags in both printed and handmade applique styles. The larger, wall dowel accommodates standard-size flags in both printed and applique styles. Decide which size is best, and then choose from hundreds of fun and colorful designs from almost as many themes as you can imagine!
.
"Christmas Moose" Applique Garden Flag
.
Hopefully this idea will help make your holiday shopping a little less stressful and will help you choose just the right gifts for the little ones in your lives!
Happy Flag Flying!
