Your friend’s birthday is slowly approaching. You originally planned to give them a nice, sweet birthday present, but you don’t think a gift is enough to express how thankful you are for their friendship adequately.
That’s when it hits you: why not throw them a birthday party that will stick with them for a long while? Not just any birthday party; you want it to be a massive surprise birthday blowout filled with close friends and family.
Suppose you have no prior experience arranging surprise birthday parties. No worries!
This brief guide has everything you need to set up a successful surprise birthday get-together. From the planning and the decorations, you’ll need down to the eye-catching happy birthday neon sign.
There is nothing quite like experiencing an unexpected but good event in your life, like acing a test despite barely studying or receiving a love note from a mysterious secret admirer. Who wouldn’t want a pleasant surprise every once in a while?
However, the surprise is lost during birthdays because they happen yearly. Maybe that’s why some people feel their birthday excitement wanes every following year because it’s expected.
While birthdays can be memorable, you can quickly get used to them. This anticipation kills any sense of fun associated with regularly celebrating your birthday. Arranging a surprise birthday party for your friend with all their close friends and family can bring back that excitement and fun!
Keeping your friend in the dark about how you will spend their day opens their mind to a thousand possibilities and reintroduces the suspense of the event. You can even take the suspense a step further by inviting a friend or relative your friend hasn’t seen in a long time.
Besides bringing back excitement and fun, throwing a surprise get-together for your friend will touch their heart. You (and their other friends and family) took your time of the day to plan and arrange an event solely to celebrate their birth. Isn’t that a heartwarming and tear-jerking thought?
Being the guest of honor for a surprise birthday party is like receiving a wonderful gift, except that overwhelming warmth one feels in their heart after opening the present is increased tenfold. Besides the presents they’ll receive, your friend will have the gift of loving company.
Of course, these surprise party pros will only come to life if your friend is comfortable with being the star of a surprise event. Before planning and contacting your other friends about the event, you must know if your friend will enjoy being surprised.
Else, this whole shebang will only catch your friend off-guard (in a bad way, might we add) and turn into a disaster in a matter of minutes. In that case, you can simply inform them that a party will happen, but refrain from spilling any more details.
Once you’re 100% sure your friend is alright with surprises, begin planning how the day will turn out. Let’s get into the details of arranging a successful surprise birthday party, from conception to the actual event execution.
The theme will be your guide as you plan the rest of the party details, from the venue and decor of the event to the refreshments and outfits your guests will wear. The party theme unifies all of these elements and allows the celebrant to understand the event.
If your friend is a hardcore anime enthusiast, it might be an excellent idea to throw an anime-themed birthday party where your guests are cosplaying as beloved anime characters. A K-Pop fan will highly appreciate a K-Pop-themed party with K-Pop dance-off games.
Below is a list of sample themes you can use for your friend’s party to give you an idea.
As mentioned, the theme will dictate what kind of party refreshments will be provided during the party. Ensure that the food and drinks you serve match the party’s theme, like serving Japanese delicacies for the anime-themed party or having Korean BBQ for the K-Pop-themed one.
Having a unifying theme will make planning the party menu easier. You can choose to cook and prepare the meals and beverages yourself, but you can hire a catering service to do the job for you.
However, party snacks and drinks shouldn’t be the only things on your mind when planning party refreshments. Don’t forget the guest of honor’s birthday cake!
After finalizing your theme, venue, and party refreshments, it’s time to start contacting your guests and telling them about the surprise. This step is crucial and quite tedious because you must ensure most (if not all) of your guests are available during the set date.
Besides informing your guests about the event's details, you could also use this time to ask for help setting up the surprise party in the venue. And, of course, it wouldn’t hurt to remind your guests to keep mum about the surprise.
What’s a successful party without decorations? While most party decor will follow the central theme, it doesn’t hurt to decorate the venue with typical party decorations, such as balloons, party streamers, confetti, and party hats.
If you genuinely want to stun the birthday celebrant, a neon happy birthday sign is your best bet. Because of their distinct look and feel, you might go for the traditional glass neon lights. Besides lighting up the room brightly, a neon light can perfectly set the atmosphere and vibe of the party.
You can hang up a simple Happy Birthday LED neon sign in the center of the wall or choose a related neon design that will match the party theme.
Birthdays are only celebrated once a year. Planning and arranging a surprise party for your friend will ensure that this particular occasion becomes memorable and enjoyable for them. Hopefully, the tips we gave above will help you set up a successful birthday blowout for your pal.

Things are slowly picking back up after the brunt of the pandemic. However, you can’t deny that some are still wary of letting loose in a jam-packed bar after getting used to social distancing in the past years. It’s not surprising that most people would rather get plastered at home.
But where’s the fun in that?
Instead of drinking your heart out alone, why don’t you invite your friends over for a night to remember in your very own home bar?
If you’re wondering how to set up a mini-cocktail lounge at home, we’ve got the answers for you. We’ll teach you how to decorate your home bar with an ambient bar neon sign, stylish wine racks, and more.
As you might have already guessed, home or wet bars are reserved spots at home where you can entertain and bond with your friends, family, and other guests over a few drinks.
Contrary to what many believe, home bars aren’t limited to specific spaces in your home. While most would put their wet bars in the kitchen or the basement, you can place them in your living room or even build a standalone home bar outside.
Besides getting endless cocktails and margaritas and technically being open 24/7, having your personal wet bar can benefit you in several other ways.
Even the most extroverted person in the world needs a bit of privacy every once in a while. With a home bar, you get all the solitude and secrecy you and your friends will need. You won’t have to worry about being too loud or looking too messy in the judging eyes of outsiders.
With wet bars, you can relax and let your wildest side out in the comfort of your own home. There won’t be anyone to tell you off for taking a quick smoke because it is your house.
In addition, you and your friends won’t have to assign a DD (designated driver) or concern yourselves over driving under the influence. Home bars undoubtedly encourage responsible drinking.
Besides privacy and comfort, with a private wet bar, you can mix and match your drinks however you like. Home bars are perfect for experimenting with spirits and liquors, trying out various cocktail mixes, and discovering new tastes.
The home bar is the ideal playground for wine and cocktail enthusiasts who wish to explore and learn which drinks mash well with each other and which don’t—wondering how beer, tequila, vodka, and soda would taste as a single drink? Feed your curiosity and impress your friends or new date with a home bar.
Having a home bar allows you to control how your entire evening goes, from the background songs you’ll play to the drinks you’ll serve your guests. You can also prevent any unwanted visitors from ruining your night. As a home bar owner, you decide who will be on your VIP guest list.
More importantly, you also can choose how your home bar will look like. Whether you want a more rustic vibe or a more stylish and sleeker design, you can pick your preferred decor and set up the wet bar to your exact taste.
Before pressing the signal and building your home bar, you must consider several factors and home features.
All that talk about designing and decorating will logically lead you to question what decorations, accessories, and pieces of furniture should be in your personal wet bar. From neon signs to fashionable racks, we’re here to show you how to effectively and stylishly set up your home bar.
As mentioned, planning out your home bar storage is a must. Some simply place their wines, beers, and liquor on plain wooden shelves. However, making sure you have enough space for all your drinks shouldn’t compromise the overall look of your private bar.
Look for uniquely shaped shelves and bottle racks to add style and elegance to your home bar design. You can use a diagonal-oriented wine rack or a floating bottle storage and holder to make your wet bar look chic and modern.
Another clever way to show your creativity while maintaining the homey look of a wet bar is to place a blackboard on your wall. You don’t have to be an experienced chalk artist and put elaborate sketches on the board.
The contrast between the board’s darkness and the chalk’s color alone is enough to make your wall look aesthetically pleasing. Besides decorating the board with simple chalk art, you can also write short messages or daily reminders on your wall.
Where your guests will sit should also match your home bar’s overall aesthetic. Besides how they would blend with the bar’s theme, you must also consider your guests’ comfort. Plain chairs wouldn’t exactly fit the mood and vibe of a modern-looking home bar.
Choose bar stools that are sleek, stylish, and comfortable to sit on. Putting tall bar stools may bring discomfort and difficulty to some visitors, so keep the stools’ heights in mind while shopping.
Any area in your house needs lighting, and that, of course, includes your personal bar. How else can you illuminate your space while keeping your home bar’s overall mood if not for bar neon signs?
You can hang beer-shaped neon lights and custom neon bar signs on the walls to create a hazy and chill atmosphere for your home bar. Placing neon tube lights around the perimeter of your bar can also make your space look more modern.
A home bar is perfect for wine and cocktail enthusiasts and people who simply wish to keep the party to themselves and let loose in the comfort of their homes. You can transform any room into a striking home bar with the correct decor.

To Millennials and Gen Z adults, the 2000s is a decade we can officially review for a dose of nostalgia and inspiration. If our parents raved about the hip 70s and 80s in their time, it's our time to do the same for the 90s and 00s—the decades that marked our generation's glory days.
Those sweet years have so much cool and amazing stuff to look back to. So we narrowed it down to a theme. In this article, we're focusing on the pop culture things associated with the powerful color black. Plus, we'll give you some ideas on how you can resurrect these evocative things of the past back to life using aesthetic neon signs.
Graffiti and stencils are prominent street art media in the 90s. You'll see it spray-painted on random street corners and walls in the city. During those times, the general public saw it as less of an art and more of an act of vandalism.
One artist who contributed to street art's rise is Banksy. His art emphasizes solid black colors and presses on political themes that criticize war, greed, and capitalism. He serves his pieces the way street art should be served—in the dirty plate of vandalism.
But the art and the controversial themes caught on faster than law enforcement apprehension. Soon, art patrons are clamoring for a piece at high prices. Then, between the late 90s to early 10s, coupled with the release of Exit Through the Gift Shop, the "Banksy Effect" was in full swing, and street art got its rightful recognition.
For your art category on trendy 90s and 00s-themed black aesthetic neon signs, try taking inspiration from Banksy's artworks. It's going to be a rad Millenial home decor idea.
Goth subculture became a trend back in the 90s. Goth kids go to obscure and underground goth bars wearing all black. Everything is painted with this universal color, from clothes to makeup to accessories.
This fashion became a trend, perhaps because the better part of the goth scene is dug deep underground. The music and lifestyle are a little too deep for the mainstream crowd to grasp. But the fashion still found its way into the light.
The edgy and enigmatic goth fashion is inspired by the Victorian period of England. Envision the movie Underworld to get the idea of what mainstream goth fashion fanatics aim to copy.
Apart from black-colored clothes, goth fashion is also into symbolism. Accessories designed as pentagrams and other similar symbols pepper the goth outfit and have become an identifying feature of this 90s fashion trend.
Emo fashion is often associated with goth because they both have black themes. But there is a clear distinction on where emo fashion lies.
The inspiration for emo fashion comes from various sources, but the broad strokes are inherited from 1980s punk rock. At least, this explains the studded silver bracelets and the black eyeliners (which the goths also inherited from punks, their predecessors).
To dive deeper into the fashion trend, emo is driven more by emotion. The expression of sadness, despair, and anger pushes the envelope of punk fashion further into the deep end. Hence, the one-sided hair, black-themed wardrobe, and the sad faces to match the getup.
Today, emo fashion is on the brink of making a comeback. With Avril Lavigne releasing a new album and TikTok being around, there will be an unearthing of this buried 00s fashion trend.
For the fashion category, you can take elements from these two 90s and 00s fashion trends and turn them into black and neon aesthetic signs you can hang on a wall that invites a touch of aesthetics. Ideas and symbols representing these fashion senses, like the pentagram, will stand out in your room.
Metallica is a household name for rock fans. Just ask any Millennial who wore black shirts, grew their hair, and slammed their bodies in the mosh pit, and you'll know. This band is a legend in the 90s rock metal scene and is among the ranks of the greats such as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Black Sabbath.
One of their famous albums has a mysterious design: a snake symbol in one corner and the band's name on another, all colored in black. But this inconspicuous record will gift the world crazy good rock metal songs such as Enter Sandman, The Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, and many others. These came from what is culturally known as The Black Album.
Hip-hop has long been there even before NWA's infamous anti-police brutality rap song F**k Tha Police. But NWAs songs and the rappers made a tremendous contribution to the 90s gangsta rap scene that sparked new talents throughout that decade.
One of those hip-hop artists is the versatile genius Jay-Z. Also known as J-Hova, Jigga, and Hov, Shawn Carter embraced both the gangsta rap and club MC style and puts his lyrical genius into creating rap songs you can groove to and make you think simultaneously.
One iconic album he made is The Black Album. It's a special one during the 00s because it was supposed to be his last, and it brought out popular songs such as Encore, Dirt off Your Shoulder, and Change Clothes.
But the most popular contribution Shawn made that endured as a common expression of today came from his song 99 problems. So if you've heard the lines "I got ninety-nine problems but a b***h ain't one" on TikTok, it's a reference to this iconic 00s song.
Consider getting a black neon light aesthetic custom-made with the band name Metallica, their song titles, or lyrics if you want a black-themed music neon light piece. If you're gunning for the 00s, the 99 problems line would be a cool neon sign on your wall.
Black is a beautiful and authoritative color. No wonder it is associated with many cool and badass things that made a difference in a Millenial or a Gen Z's lifetime. That's why a black-themed aesthetic neon decor focused on the 90s and 00s is an amazing idea to convey how in touch you are with the things that helped shape who you are.
So make the 90s and 00s-themed indoor aesthetics with these fun pop culture references. Just reach out and tell us what you have in mind. We can help you make that happen here at Neonize.
Fun fact of the day: did you know that what the early Greeks referred to as "Kaktus" back in the day was actually an artichoke? The word "cactus" is a Spanish word used to describe a prickly or spikey artichoke. This means the cactus we know today is not the same as what the people knew then.
Cacti are one unique species of plants. They have so many significant differences from regular plants, including the fact that they lack leaves and can hold up to 200 gallons of water (for Saguaro cacti). There are about 1866 species of flowering cacti and 131 genera under the Cactaceae family. Additionally, many of those can be taken care of as a houseplant.
If you are a fan of these diverse and wonderful plants, you might like these cactus neon lights as an added decoration to your house or business. Check out seven neon lights that might "prickle" your fancy below.
Neon signs are not new. They have been used as eye-catchers since the 1920s for business establishments that want to attract their customers. The difference is that now, you can have a neon size with a custom size and design for the interior and exterior of your home or anywhere you like to spruce up using these vibrant decors.
Whether you want to add a little touch of color to your already cactus-filled home or you want to get an LED sign for your business, consider browsing through the Neonize It cactus neon lights collection. Here is a sneak peek of the designs available in that collection.
If you have a green thumb and love collecting and caring for plants, you might already have a few pots of succulents and cacti in your greenhouse. Your indoor cacti collection might include old lady cactus, barrel cactus, bunny ear cactus, blue columnar cactus, moon cactus, ladyfinger cactus, and bishop's cap cactus.
That might seem a lot for a non-collector, but it feels like it is not enough. You feel like something is missing. Maybe you want to add the Saguaro cactus, but they are too big to fit your house. If you relate to this dilemma, your solution can be cactus decorations like this simple cactus in a pot.
This neon design is very similar to the Saguaro cactus. It has two arms facing up, as if trying to say hello to the sun while sitting in a cozy red pot. It has a straightforward and minimal design that could fit your plant room aesthetic.
There are almost 2 thousand species of cacti that bloom vibrant flowers. Different cacti species produce different types and sizes of flowers, and almost in every color, too! For example, some cacti are covered in small red blooms at the right conditions, and others bloom only one to two flowers at a time. What makes it special is that some flowers then turn into edible fruits!
Although this neon cactus wall decoration does not have any edible cactus fruit, it has a pretty blue flower resting on top of a cactus. This dainty design would look great near your office table or maybe on the walls near your outdoor garden.
Yes, you can put this sign outside, especially if you pick the waterproof feature in one of the choices on the website. Of course, additional payment is required, but imagine a group of cacti neon signs with different colored flowers blooming on your garden walls.
This neon sign looks similar from the design above, but they have a few differences. The previous cactus with a pot looked a bit more stout than this one. This neon light has a longer cactus with longer arms. Also, it has an orange pot instead of red, and it has a little space between the plant and the pot.
The single-line design is perfect for those interested in minimal designs. It is a great statement piece in your minimalist home, standing out while staying on theme. Although simple in design, this plant sign speaks more to those who like a neat and minimalistic home.
This fun Mexican cactus stands straight and says, "We are not authentic, we are original." This neon cactus sign would be perfect for brands that want to make a statement or create a fun atmosphere. It has a fun sombrero or a Mexican hat and a mustache. Hats are fun, right?
If you find this cactus funny, quirky, or you feel like it fits your style, then order this Mexican cactus neon sign in Neonize It!
Are you busy working at home and have no time to tend to plants, but you want to have one as a decoration? Well, we got you a solution because there is one plant that does not need watering at all—a neon cactus! Add this chic wall decor to your home office so you can say you have an office plant without the actual responsibility of keeping it alive. All you have to do is plug and unplug it whenever you please.
This sign's green and red combination offers a vibrant addition to your walls, especially if they need a touch of color on them.
Are you going for a more minimal and monochrome design? This small cute cactus could be your style. Small neon signs are a cute addition to walls that already have wall decors on them. It can also be added to areas or spots in your house or office that feel bland. Add color to your gym area, kitchen, bathroom, breakfast nook, or foyer to add more ambiance to your home.
Although this design looks cute, you can choose a bigger size if small signs are not your style. You can choose from small (45 cm), medium (60 cm), large (76 cm), and extra-large (91 cm). Choose which size fits the area you plan on hanging it up.
If you are looking for a particular neon cactus related to the music industry, you might be looking for a cactus jack neon sign. Travis Scott's Cactus Jack Record Company is a company that was founded by Travis Scott himself and his mentor, John Janick, in 2013 and has been successful ever since. The cactus jack logo can be seen on clothing and merchandise from the record company and many other places such as websites or even tattoos.
The cactus jack logo signifies the tenacity of this business that never gives up no matter what obstacles are in front of them. If you are a fan of Travis, his albums, or his record company, then this neon light is for you!

Nothing beats witnessing a child's face light up as they happily peek around your store after spotting something they like.
As a business owner selling children's products, this could be your first sign of success.
That, of course, doesn't guarantee a point of sale. Their parents are the ones making the purchase decision. Still, it pays to catch their attention. After all, who can resist a child's cheerful expression?
But you're also not the only business marketing to kids, so there has to be a way to stand out.
If you're searching for ways to appeal to your cute little customers, we have a suggestion. What do you think of cute neon signs for your store's decor or as a part of your offer? How about both?
There are many ways to market to a young audience, so why should I choose neon signs? That's a good question. Here are reasons that may give you a deeper insight into the benefits of neon signs for businesses.
Kids love colors, especially bright ones. This is because they're easy to absorb when their vision is still developing. Bright colors also stimulate their minds and add to the excitement. As adults, don't you feel that way sometimes, too?
Among its many benefits, neon signs are well-known for their catchy visuals. Neon shades are already bright, so what happens when you add light? They shine like no other! Incorporating them will help your business stand out in a child's field of vision.
Neon signs do not exist for a sole purpose; you can use them for both personal and commercial purposes. Neon light signs can be decorative displays in your home. A custom neon sign with a symbol of something they like can be given as a gift. Neon light signs can spice up a night party. Their applications are limitless!
LED neon signs are also long-lasting. You can use them for years and with minimal upkeep. This is essential if you use them as decorative pieces and don't want to replace them frequently.
A good reason to choose neon signs is they're kid-safe! When placed in a good spot, these signs will only bring harmless fun to the room. Those made from LED neon light tubes are especially safe for children to play with. Neon signs are also energy-efficient, so there's no need to fret if kids want to see them lit up all the time.
Assuming you've already decided to use LED neon signs to market to children, here are some fantastic ideas to start with!
Consider using neon lights to aid or replace your advertising posters. If you insist on using printed ads, consider framing them with LED neon lights to attract more attention. If you want to replace a print with a neon sign, ask a neon sign maker to craft marketing words like SALE to it.
Glow where the kids go! Only a few children think of visiting stores; most look for recreational places to play with their friends. So why not bring your advertising materials to these areas? Ask if you can mount or place an LED neon light on a stand in community parks, schools, bicycle shops, local theaters, bookstores, or playgrounds.
Your marketing neon light might still not work if kids don't like what you sell. Before anything else, understand what the kids in your target age group want and make products that satisfy them. If you're planning to include neon signs as part of your products, sell items like a LED neon night light, neon wall art of popular TV characters, or cute neon bedroom decorations.
Research states that children as early as age three are already brand-conscious. They can recognize and remember hundreds of brand logos and mascots! This is a great chance to market your brand by incorporating the logo in cute custom LED neon signs. Be sure your logo is simple so they can quickly identify it.
Kids love cartoon characters because they're vibrant and easy to understand. Using one to promote your business will help them easily engage with and remember your brand. If your business has a brand mascot, put it on a LED neon light or neon sign wall art to communicate your message. Watch children form bonds with it, and your business soars to success!
To some people, the Internet is the new television. It offers more entertainment options for children to discover. Nowadays, many kids spend a lot of time on online platforms like YouTube or other social media channels. So consider bringing your neon lights to digital screens to expand your marketing strategy.

Have you ever looked at a neon cloud LED light and wondered about it? You can find them hanging in businesses and other personal spaces, but what do they mean?
Clouds are often used as symbols of happiness, optimism, and creativity. They can brighten up any space and create a positive atmosphere. Keep on reading to discover the symbolism of clouds and what they can mean to you!
There's something about clouds that makes us feel good. Maybe it's their soft, fluffy appearance or how they gently drift across the sky. Whatever the reason, clouds have long been associated with positive symbolism.
For many cultures, clouds represent creativity and harmony. Interestingly, this positive symbolism isn't just limited to cultural contexts. Clouds have also been shown to boost our moods and productivity levels.
While positivity is welcomed, it's often said that life is all about balance. While it's a little cliched, there is some truth to it. After all, we wouldn't appreciate the good things in life if we didn't also have to deal with the bad. In many ways, the bad things make us appreciate the good. And that's why clouds also represent the negative.
Clouds are a symbol of a wide range of sentiments. Light color clouds are considered to be good symbols. White clouds evoke a sense of lightness and ease. On the other hand, black or dark clouds suggest sadness and worry.
Clouds significantly influence our emotions, which we frequently fail to recognize. First, consider how you feel when you see a gorgeous day with a few sunshine flecks outside. Now, consider how you feel when you only see dark clouds that promise rain later. Your mood instantly changed, right?
Clouds are ever-changing. First, they appear, and then the wind blows them about. They come, and eventually, they go. In a manner, we are akin to them. We come into being; we develop and begin following our predetermined destiny.
Clouds are a link to change, and they depict a shift in circumstance. They remind us that life is always evolving, so we must adjust to enjoy the best possible lives.
Clouds have a hidden allure about them, which adds to their intrigue. It's because clouds symbolize an undetectable message. People have always been intrigued because clouds are a mystery.
A cloud can also be seen as a metaphor for our subconscious. It's the place where we keep all of our secrets hidden away. When we have something on our mind that we're not ready to share with the world, it goes into the cloud.
Clouds can also mean indecision since they might lead to obscurity. You've undoubtedly driven through heavy fog and experienced how perplexing it is when clouds sink low. As a result, they may signify anxiety and uncertainty.
Many of us have had a foggy mind, and many of us can relate to how frustrating it is. Being unable to think clearly might be aggravating, but it also indicates that you need rest.
Clouds are ephemeral, meaning they represent things that haven't been anticipated. So when opportunities present themselves, most of us are quick to act. Some people, on the other hand, might be hesitant.
Naturally, there may be some doubts about making the most out of an opportunity if it's likely to alter one's life. However, those who have the strength to face their fears are rewarded. Courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to move forward despite the fear.
When the sky is dark and overcast, there may be issues on the horizon. Clouds are usually connected to unpleasant events that are drawing near. Storms are tiring, overwhelming, and devastating.
As a result, clouds represent trying moments that will follow. But, even if you're in for a tough ride, keep in mind that everything passes and that your difficult period will soon end.
Despite all the negative meanings clouds might have, they also carry a message of hope. Even if the sky is gray, it will eventually light up clear. The sun will rise, and the sky will be blue once more.
It is a reminder that no matter how bleak the situation might be, there's always hope for better days ahead. So, the next time you see some clouds, remember that they might be a sign of hope!
Clouds can also be a source of insight for many people. After all, they are constantly changing shape, which can be seen as akin to the creative process. Do you see animals, faces, or other objects when you look at clouds? If so, then you're engaging in what's known as pareidolia. It is an illusion where people see familiar shapes in random patterns.
Pareidolia is often seen as a sign of creative thinking since it requires the ability to see beyond the obvious. So, if you ever feel creatively blocked, take a look at some clouds and see what kinds of shapes you can find.
Clouds are one of nature's most fascinating creations. They're also full of symbolism and meaning, which can vary depending on the context. So the next time you see a cloud, take a moment to appreciate its beauty and think about what it might mean to you.
No clouds on the horizon? Turn to a cloud neon sign right at your home or office wall and ponder on what it might mean to you at that moment.
Want to have a personal cloud in your own space? Then, get one of our custom neon cloud light signs today! We have more neon sign varieties for you when you check out our other collections!
No matter what you call it (Galentine’s Day, Single Awareness Day, etc.); it doesn’t hurt to show and sprinkle a little bit of love to the people around you this February 14. Whether you give flowers, gifts, and even a humongous heart neon sign, it’s vital to spend Valentine’s with your loved ones.
Speaking of Valentine’s, we bet you are curious about how the holiday came. Why is February 14 the day to spread love and show affection? Who created the popular Valentine’s traditions?
Why is the concept of love associated with the heart symbol? And why does the heart not resemble the actual human heart in the first place?
As you may have deduced, Valentine’s day serves as a way to honor Saint Valentine. While it’s difficult to pinpoint which St. Valentine is the namesake of the holiday (with three canonized St. Valentines), one thing is for sure: all St. Valentines lived their lives sharing boundless love.
Most people associate the holiday with St. Valentine of Rome. He was a priest who performed and blessed secret marriages deemed illegal during Emperor Claudius II’s reign.
Some refer to St. Valentine of Terni as the holiday’s star, a bishop known for being a miracle worker after curing a Roman official’s child and subsequently converting the child’s family into Christians.
There are also stories about a St. Valentine imprisoned after helping Christians escape from Roman officers. Legend says Valentine fell in love with a woman during his time in jail, who may or may not have been a prison guard’s daughter. He also reportedly wrote a letter to his beloved before his death, signing it with “from your Valentine.”
No matter which story you believe, all of these Valentines exhibited great compassion and affection for the people around them. That’s why it’s unsurprising that his feast day is about spreading love.
Moving away from the Christian and Catholic route, some people believe Valentine’s Day may have originated from the pagan festival Lupercalia, celebrated every February 15. The pagans perform several rituals to honor their god of agriculture, believing these actions will bring fertility and purity to their people and harvests.
On the other hand, the French and English populations during the Middle Ages had vastly different ideas about where the holiday came from. According to their beliefs, February 14 is the start of the birds’ mating season, hence its heavy association with love and passion.
Similar to Valentine’s day's origins, plenty of theories come up when you search for the roots of the modern heart symbol.
One of the most popular ones features the extinct plant silphium, which ancient Greeks and Romans often used as spices, medicine, and birth control. The plant’s form resembles the modern heart sign. Because it is strongly associated with passion and procreation, it’s no surprise that the plant’s shape likewise became a symbol of love.
Another theory explains that scientists and artists of the Middle Ages are responsible for the symbol. Historians hypothesize that the heart symbol resulted from these intellectuals’ failed attempts at accurately drawing an anatomical sketch of the human heart.
Experts also report how medieval people saw the heart as a place of memory, where your feelings for your beloved are written and where God’s commands are inscribed. The popularization of Valentine’s Day during the 17th century only strengthened the use of the heart symbol.
Knowing the history of the holiday and its representations gives us a deeper understanding and appreciation for the day of love. It’s time to express our undying love and endless gratitude for the ones around us this February.
It may be cliché and trite, but it’s undoubtedly tradition. How else can you best show love and appreciation without the typical Valentine’s essentials? Flowers!
Red roses, pink tulips, rose lilies, and white daisies are popular and obvious choices. But if you want to stand out and avoid being cliché, try giving chrysanthemums to show your love and passion. Giving honeysuckles is also an excellent choice to express devoted affection. And yellow pansies tell your loved ones that you think of them constantly!
It’s best to search or ask your florist about the meanings and symbolisms of each flower before buying a bouquet.
Another way to bare your heart out this Valentine’s is to write sincere handwritten letters. We know not everyone can be the best at expressing their thoughts and feelings through writing, but doing so lets your loved ones know just how important and precious they are to you.
You can try:
One of the best gifts you can give to your valentine is by giving a piece of yourself to them through writing. You don’t even need to write a romantic letter. Instead, you can write poems, stories, and short love notes. Regardless of the tip you follow, the bottom line is to be vulnerable and open.
The final and most important ingredient of every meal is love. Treating your loved ones with a lovely evening meal on Valentine’s Day makes complete sense. You can set a dinner reservation at their favorite restaurant or cook their favorite meals yourself.
Red wine and champagne are excellent compliments to any Valentine’s dinner. For dessert, perhaps you can have a sweet slice of cake, share a bar of chocolate, or try some chocolate truffles!
If none of our other gift ideas are enticing enough, perhaps a traditional neon light is a perfect present for the light of your life! A neon sign is a great wall decor to hang and illuminate your beloved’s space.
A pink “Forever in Love” LED neon sign is a suitable Valentine’s gift. You can also give a red “Always & Forever” neon sign as a promise to your loved ones. Even a simple neon heart light will do! What’s more, you can have your neon signs customized.
The day of love may be a painful reminder of how empty life can get. But we shouldn’t refrain from showing affection to other loved ones on February 14. With the knowledge of its origin story, you can’t deny that the holiday is simply rooted in the gift of love, romantic or otherwise.

City life can be mind-boggling. The constant traffic, the hordes of people, and the never-ending buzz of noise can take a toll on your mental and physical health.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, one simple thing you can do to feel better instantly is to spend time in nature. Even if you’re taking a walk around the block or sitting at home, being surrounded by living things can help you relax and recharge.
Bring a taste of nature indoors by installing a green wall with a neon sign! This neon design will create a more relaxing and Zen-like atmosphere in your space and inspire you to appreciate the beauty of nature.
Find out why a green wall with neon signs is worth it if you want to take a break and feel the green atmosphere.
Turning your vacant space into a green wall could enhance your lifestyle. Green grass walls, called living walls or vertical gardens, are a type of wall covered with vegetation. They can be constructed using pre-vegetated panels or by growing plants in soil pockets.
In addition to being visually appealing, green walls offer numerous advantages that make them more popular for business owners and homeowners. See some examples below:
Green walls can help to purify the air. Oxygen and carbon dioxide, two gases necessary for the air we breathe, are released and absorbed when you have plants. They can also remove dust and pollution from the air, giving you a cleaner, sustainable environment.
Insulation doesn’t only go in the walls or attic of your home; you can also add them outdoors. Green walls provide an extra layer of protection against the elements and suit the right temperature in your room.
This plant wall can improve the beauty of your area while contributing to energy conservation and cost savings on power bills. So why don’t you start reducing your carbon footprint today?
Have you ever found yourself daydreaming about being in a tropical paradise or perhaps wandering through a forest that’s so dense you can’t see the sky?
Studies have shown that being in contact with nature can boost productivity levels, so having them at home or work could help you get more done!
Adding some green companions to your space is a great trick to increase concentration and create a healthier environment. You’ll not only feel more accomplished, but you’ll also have a lovely space to unwind in.
Sure, green walls are newfangled these days. They’re a terrific option to bring a touch of nature indoors and can benefit your health. But what’s the point of having a boring, lifeless space when you can have neonized green grass walls?
Unbelievable as it may seem, neon signs and green walls are a match made in heaven. Here are some ways to include a little bit of vibrancy to your nature indoors with a custom neon sign:
Have you ever observed how some green walls appear lit from nowhere? It’s because neon signs are an excellent trick to create the illusion of daylight.
This is especially effective if your green wall is in an area that doesn’t get a lot of natural light. You can make any place feel more inviting and brighter with the perfect neon sign. Plus, there’s something just cool and unexpected about a green wall with a neon sign. It’s like bringing the outdoors inside in a whole new way.
Install neon signs to highlight your favorite green collection. They offer some flair to your decor and make it simple for guests to locate the plants they’re looking for.
You can choose a neon sign that properly fits your environment, especially since they vary in size and style. You can even modify this signage with the names or messages of your favorite plants. Pick a custom neon sign that illuminates the entire wall if you want to bring nature inside your home (e.g., green leaves, flowers, trees).
Commonly, glass tubes for neon signs are filled with argon or gas. The gas is then charged with an electrical current, causing the gas to emit light. This sign makes it use only about 10% of the energy of an incandescent light bulb to produce the same amount of light. That’s not too shabby!
Thus, adding a custom neon sign to your green wall is a cool technique to show that you’re eco-conscious and care about the planet. It’s a win-win if you want a creative way to relax at home while being environmentally responsible.
Now that you know how green leaf walls and neon signs can nurture our physical and emotional needs, we hope this article inspired you to add one to your space!

It doesn’t matter if you play hardcore combat games like Red Dead Redemption, Overwatch, and Call of Duty or feel-good, relaxing games such as The Sims, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft; you must have a game room or at least a decent gaming setup. After all, even the slightest change in your environment can affect how you play a video game.
Let’s dive into how you can turn a plain, dull space into an awesome and fully functional gamer’s room with chairs, speakers, and gaming neon signs by first knowing the importance of having one.
Sometimes, losing a round and being unable to get past the boss level isn’t entirely your fault. Your surroundings play a part in it too.
Think about it: as much as possible, you want to read a book or study in a quiet, clean, and comfortable room. The same goes for gaming: a noisy, messy, and distracting environment can affect your gaming experience. Why is that?
While it might not seem obvious at first glance, studying and gaming have one thing in common: concentration.
Psychological experts have long written dozens of studies detailing how one’s immediate environment affects their focus. According to these experts, room organization, background noise, room lighting, comfort, and even temperature are some factors that impact your concentration.
If you get body pains while sitting on your chair, you will be too distracted trying to find a comfortable spot to finish a game with flying colors. Likewise, if the room feels like the devil’s oven or the peak of Mount Everest, you will be too bothered to continue your gaming journey. Therefore, your gaming room must not have any possible distractions.
Having a designated space for gaming alone helps with one’s focus. You can’t concentrate on gaming if you do it on your bed. That’s because you associate beds with sleeping, relaxation, and rest. Having a certain area of your room for gaming purposes prepares and conditions the mind for playtime.
Besides focus and concentration, building a family game room can also:
Knowing why the noobs and hardcore players of the gaming world need a designated space brings us to our next agenda: listing the essential furniture, accessories, and lighting for a decent gamer’s room setup.
Without further ado, here are some gaming room essentials your play space needs.
Your space won’t be a gaming room without the proper equipment: gaming computers or consoles. You must choose the best gaming equipment with ideal quality and specs to ensure that you experience optimal gaming performance.
For example, suppose you’re gaming with a PC. In that case, you must consider:
It’s important to note that choosing these specs will depend on your game.
On the other hand, if you’re gaming with a console, you must consider the following:
Another thing to consider is how your equipment is arranged. A large computer desk is ideal for gamers, especially if they have a two- or three-monitor setup. Buying a spacious desk gives players enough room for their mouse and keyboard. Height-adjustable desks are also recommended.
For console players, it’s imperative to have durable and sturdy TV stands or wall mounts for their setup.
Regarding gaming chairs and couches, gamers are advised to choose seats with sufficient back support, armrests, and breathable and easy–to–clean upholstery for ideal comfort. The seat’s adjustability, durability, and weight capacity are also considered.
A decluttered space clears your mind and sharpens your focus. Place your game cartridges, CDs, and other accessories on shelves and racks. Gamers often keep cartridges and CDs in storage bins before placing them on shelves to maximize space and lessen dust.
Don’t leave your headphones and controllers just lying around in your room! Players should have headphone stands and controller holders to keep their desks and overall room setups organized and neat.
Sometimes, we get too sucked into the gameplay that we don’t realize how much noise we’re making. Contain your noise and game sounds by soundproofing your game room. Before buying soundproofing materials, ensure you know your space's dimensions first.
Use sound-absorbing foam on your walls and place a carpet on your floor to lessen the noise leaking out of your room. Add sound curtains to your windows to block both sound and light. You can also soundproof your door by adding soundproof rubber or weatherstripping.
As mentioned, a well-lit room can improve your gameplay experience. Regular lights are sufficient for game room lighting. But if you’re going for a more aesthetic, futuristic look for your room, neon signs and lights are your best bet.
Purple and blue neon tube LED lights create fantastic mood and accent lighting for your gaming space. These shades of cool colors are often associated with relaxation and have calming effects on our eyes.
If you aren’t sold on using plain neon lights, try hanging up PlayStation neon signs of some of your favorite gaming logos, such as Call of Duty, God of War, and Silent Hill.
Creating an organized environment is essential for the ultimate gaming experience. Illuminate your gaming room with Neonize’s neon gaming signs!
