Why Pets Make the Best Companions When You're Feeling Stressed

With everything going on in the world today (pandemics, the climate emergency, economic instability) it's little wonder many of us feel anxious and stressed. Thankfully, if you're a pet owner, you have a great remedy right in front of you! Pets are proven to have a calming effect and the ability to spread happiness. With a gentle purr or an excited wag of the tail, they can lift your spirits and help you see the bright side of life.

Studies have shown that simply stroking a pet can help lower blood pressure and stress levels. Owning a pet is a great way to combat loneliness and depression; pets give you unconditional love, a reason to get out of bed, a purpose, and someone to confide in when life becomes too much! Dogs, in particular, encourage you to get outdoors in the fresh air to exercise and meet new people. All of this provides companionship, helps reduce tension, and improves your general health and wellbeing. Consider the feel-good factor of running with your dog or the laughter that kitty playtime inspires. Think about how cuddling your guinea pigs helps you de-stress and how chatting to your parrot breaks up a long and lonely day. Pets really are our best friends!

At Fun Sign Factory, we adore animals, so we've designed a collection of pet signs to celebrate their furry fabulousness! From this simple and funny quote sign to this not-so-subtle crazy cat lady sign, we have all the pet-themed decor you could ever want. We have personalized horse stall signs with elegant designs alongside hilarious dog wisdom signs to get you through the rough days. We can even add your pet to your custom RV sign to make Rover feel at home on the roam!

This is Why Personalized Business Signs are So Important

It's a new year, a new decade, and - if you're an entrepreneur - a fresh chance to take your business to new heights! Whether you're a crafter or a car mechanic, a beautician or a barber, a doctor or a dog groomer, 2020 should be your year of productivity and reward.

To inspire you to achieve your goals, we've created a collection of unique business signs that can be personalized with your company name and slogan. They're all beautifully designed to bring a splash of color and personality to your walls - and a line of eager, paying customers through your doors!

A personalized business sign not only puts your company at the forefront of peoples' minds but also expresses your passion for your niche. Having a custom sign on your front door helps customers both old and new feel welcome; it also inspires trust if your business is a new start-up. It shows you're a true professional - someone who cares about their customers and has that special something that keeps people coming back time and again.

For healthcare professionals, a custom office sign helps put patients at ease. For hair and beauty salons, having a statement sign on the wall speaks volumes about your love of artsy aesthetic and trends. For a barbershop, a business sign helps create a vibe; a barbershop sign with a classic red and white pole design shows you have an eye for detail. And for bars, humorous signs that fit into your pub's particular theme work well; think bar signs or sports signs.

Do you own a business? Do you have a custom sign from Fun Sign Factory on your wall? We want to hear about your business success story on our pinterest page!

How to Decorate for the Most Spectacular New Year's Party

New Year's Eve is perhaps the biggest party event of the whole year! And a big party requires big, bold decorations that dazzle your guests and set the scene for celebrating. If you're throwing a New Year's bash for family and friends, take a look at our guide to decorating in the most spectacular way.

Point Guests to the Party

Display a Happy New Year sign or two on your porch to greet guests as they arrive. They'll appreciate the warm sentiment and you'll love how the signs add style to your party decor.

Sparkle and Shine

Sparkly decorations with lashings of gold and silver are always a hit at New Year's Eve parties. This year, rose gold, hot pink, and metallic pastels have been added to the mix to create a trendy, girly vibe.

Reach for the Stars

Stars and moons are classic yet contemporary New Year's party decor. They can be in the form of balloons, banners, hanging decorations, or tableware. Stick to matching colors for a cohesive, modern look then sprinkle confetti on the table and throw glitter everywhere!

Photo Ops

Get some letter or number balloons and spell out "Happy New Year" or "2020" against a plain wall. This will make a great backdrop for your photos; perfect for Instagram and also for creating memories with your loved ones.

The Final Countdown

A fun idea is to hang up a giant countdown clock. Cut numbers and hands from card and pin them to the wall in the shape of a clock face, making sure the hands can be moved. When the ball drop comes on TV, ring in the New Year by counting down with your guests.

Lastly...

Grab a glass of Champagne and raise a toast to the coming year! Happy New Year from all of us at Fun Sign Factory!
