Introducing Gatsby’s Gadgets & Gizmos: Printing Joy, One Layer at a Time!

At Benny Boy Creative, creativity has always been at the heart of what we do. What started as a simple idea—making matching shirts for a Disney trip—has grown into a family-run business creating custom apparel, laser-engraved gifts, and meaningful keepsakes for our community. Today, we’re excited to share the next chapter in our journey: the launch of Gatsby’s Gadgets & Gizmos.

Gatsby’s Gadgets & Gizmos is our newest creative venture, inspired by our dog Gatsby (who has never met a gadget he didn’t supervise) and our growing love for 3D printing. This brand is all about fun, functional, and joy-filled 3D-printed items—fidgets, toys, desk accessories, organizers, novelty gifts, and playful designs that make people smile.

Why Gatsby’s Gadgets & Gizmos?

As Benny Boy Creative continued to grow, we found ourselves experimenting more and more with 3D printing. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a full creative outlet. We loved the ability to design, test, tweak, and customize products in-house—watching ideas come to life layer by layer.

Gatsby’s Gadgets & Gizmos was created to give those products their own home. While Benny Boy Creative remains focused on apparel, laser work, and custom gifts, Gatsby’s is where playful innovation lives. It’s a space for creativity without limits, where practicality meets personality.

What You’ll Find at Gatsby’s

Gatsby’s Gadgets & Gizmos offers a rotating collection of 3D-printed items designed to be:

• Fun – clickers, fidgets, novelty items, and conversation starters

• Functional – desk tools, organizers, phone stands, and everyday helpers

• Customizable – colors, names, themes, and special requests

• Family-made – designed, printed, and packaged with care

Many of our products are inspired by customer ideas, community needs, and yes—Gatsby himself, who serves as our official mascot and quality-control supervisor.

Still the Same Heart, Just More Layers

Benny Boy Creative isn’t going anywhere. In fact, Gatsby’s Gadgets & Gizmos exists because of the support, creativity, and relationships built through Benny Boy Creative. Both brands are rooted in the same values: creativity, community, quality, and heart.

Whether you’re shopping for custom spirit wear, engraved gifts, or a fun 3D-printed gadget, you’re supporting a small, family-run business that loves creating things that bring joy.

We can’t wait for you to explore Gatsby’s Gadgets & Gizmos and see what we’ve been printing behind the scenes.

Here’s to new ideas, new layers, and a whole lot of fun. 🐾✨

Custom Order Spotlight: Shirts & Stickers for a Special Event

Custom Order Spotlight: Shirts & Stickers for a Special Event

There’s nothing we love more at Benny Boy Creative than bringing a customer’s vision to life—and this special order was no exception!

One of our amazing customers reached out with a design close to her heart, created for a very special event. We were honored to help turn that design into something wearable (and stick-able)! After a little back-and-forth to make sure every detail was just right, we got to work creating custom t-shirts and matching stickers that would help make the event even more memorable.

Each shirt was carefully pressed, each sticker lovingly cut, and the entire order was packaged with extra care—because we know how much this moment means to her. From the very first design file to the final tape on the box, it was all about making sure this order felt just right.

Now, it’s on its way to her, ready to make its debut at the big event! We can’t wait to see photos of everything in action.

Creating meaningful pieces for special occasions is why we do what we do. Thank you to our wonderful customer for trusting us with this part of her celebration.

Got your own event coming up? We’d love to help make it even more special. Let’s create something together!

3D Printing is SO Much Fun!

✨ 3D Printing is SO Much Fun! ✨

One of my favorite parts of running Benny Boy Creative is working with my Bambu A1 Mini 3D printer. It’s small but mighty—and it opens up a whole world of possibilities! I love dreaming up fun, unique, and practical items I think people will love, and then poof! bringing them to life one layer at a time. 🛠️🎨

From custom keychains to plant stakes, game pieces, and fun seasonal decor, there’s no limit to what can be made. I sell many of my 3D printed creations at local craft markets, but I also love working with people to create custom pieces too—whether it’s a personalized gift or something you've seen online that you'd like reimagined!

Lately, I’ve been diving into fidget toys—and not just because they’re fun (though they definitely are)! There’s real science behind them: fidget toys can help improve focus, reduce stress, and even boost memory for some people. They give your hands something to do, which can help your brain stay on task—especially for those with ADHD or anxiety.

It’s so cool to be able to blend creativity, technology, and science all in one project. 🧠💡💫

Got an idea for something custom? Or want to see what’s printing next? Come say hi at one of my upcoming markets or shoot me a message—I’d love to make something just for you!

Hitting the Road This Weekend: Events, Handmade Goodies & In-Person Fun!

This weekend is shaping up to be a busy one, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve got a couple of events lined up, and I’ve been deep in research mode making sure I bring the perfect mix of products for the crowd. Every event has its own vibe, and part of the fun (and challenge!) is figuring out what will connect best with the people who stop by.

I spend a good chunk of time looking into each market—what kind of vendors are usually there, what kinds of things people love to buy, and even what the weather might be like (no one wants melty products or soggy signs!). I love planning my table setup, testing new product displays, and curating a collection that feels fresh and exciting. This time around, I’m bringing some of my favorite t-shirts, jewelry, laser art, and a few new freshies designs and fragrances that I think people are going to flip for.

One of the things I really love about selling in person is getting to chat with folks face to face. I get to hear your stories, watch your reactions to new designs, and share a few laughs (and maybe dog pics—because let’s be honest, Benny always comes up). It’s such a fun reminder of why I started Benny Boy Creative in the first place—bringing joy through creativity and connection.

If you’re local, I’d love to see you this weekend! Come say hi, check out what’s new, and maybe find something fun to take home. And if you’re not nearby, don’t worry—I’ll be sharing some behind-the-scenes moments on socials so you can follow along.

Here’s to a weekend full of creativity, community, and maybe a little caffeine to keep me going!
