Rebel Blog

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED! Thank you for entering.

CrazyRebels.com is turning TEN this year so to thank YOU, our amazing customers, we’re giving away $10,000 worth of prizes all year long. MAY this giveaway be the biggest one yet! May is National Photography Month, so we’re celebrating the art of photography with two big giveaways, one on Instagram and one on Facebook, read through below to find out how to enter. 

This giveaway is for our Instagram friends.

May’s Instagram giveaway seeks to pay it forward to help inspire creativity. Our first camera at CR was the Canon Rebel (for obvious reasons, we chose the Rebel), but it proved to be an amazing workhorse (workhound?) and allowed us the ability to capture our collars and our dogs more in-depth and most of all more beautifully. The Canon Rebel went with us everywhere, it collected dust on hikes, sand at the beach, and many lens kisses courtesy of all our canine friends we’ve been lucky enough to photograph. This camera became a part of the CR fam that we loved dearly, and when it was time to upgrade, the physical camera has remained a relic at our headquarters reminding us of the earliest days of CR.

This camera changed the way we worked and has helped capture millions of memories and thousands of professional photos and we want to offer that opportunity to someone else too. No, you can’t have our original Rebel. But we are giving away a brand new Canon Rebel T8i complete with a memory card so once you open the box, you’re literally ready to shoot, AND of course a dream CR collar of your choice to kick off your collar capturing career. We know each and everyone of you has 10 zillion dog photos on your phone, so whether you aim to pursue a photography profession, want to start a small business, or just want to step up your dog photos, this giveaway you.

Diesel was our big, beautiful black and rust Doberman who passed away January 1, 2020. He was a founding member of the Crazy Rebels pack and lives on through every Diesel collar we get to make. We celebrate his birth month every year by highlighting his namesake collar, the Diesel collar. This year we're doing it even bigger to celebrate not only the life and legacy of Diesel the dog, and not just a decade of Crazy Rebels the company, but a decade of the Diesel Collar in existence. 10 years of making one of our most beloved designs originally inspired by our most beloved boy.

Diesel lived life 110% to the fullest. He did everything big. From his bark to his appetite to him stamina to his sky high fence jumping ability, this boy truly was larger than life. So his giveaway needed to be big too. In honor of Diesel, for the month of March we're giving you the chance to win a completely custom Diesel Collar in your choice of colors AND a big surprise valued at $500.

This months giveaway is for our Facebook friends.

For the month of March; like, comment, share and/or tag your friends on all of our Crazy Rebels Facebook page posts for a chance to win a custom Diesel collar and a $500 value surprise.

If you are new to the CR Pack, you may have wondered what these "Ready Made Collections" we refer to are all about. Even if you've been with us for a while but still have some questions, we put together a thorough guide to what a Ready Made Collection is and how to shop it.

What is a Ready Made Collection? Ready Made Collections (RMC, as they are often called) are small curated collections of already made collars that are ready to ship. There is no waiting for production, no customizations, just badass CR collars ready for you to enjoy right away. There is one of each collar available in a set size, design and colors. Once a collar is purchased, it will say "sold out".

This collection is password protected until the start time. At that time the password will disappear and all the collars will be available to purchase right here. If the collection is password protected it means the collection is currently sold out, or the collection has not gone live yet if it is right before the start time. You do not need a passcode to shop, it's not a mistake, it's just our way of releasing the collection at a certain time so everyone gets a fair chance to grab what they want.

Ready Made Collections are limited collections that feature anywhere from 4 to 30 collars. There is just one of each collar available and they are listed by size, if you see something you like we recommend adding it to your cart and checking out right away. Putting a collar in your cart does not reserve it, you must checkout completely to score a collar. Any collar we advertise on social media and our website before the drop and specify it will be in the collection, will be available. Sometimes we do lots of sneak peeks and sometimes we only do one or two.

When are Ready Made Collections? Our Ready Made Collections are offered almost every Friday at 6 pm pacific standard time. We sometimes change the time and occasionally offer additional ready made collections on different days. But we always state the time in pacific standard time (California time).

Some tips for shopping a Ready Made Collection: 

1. Make sure to shop right at the start time for the best selection. These collections tend to sell out in the first 1-10 minutes so refreshing the page a minute before right until it starts is a good idea.

2. Refresh your browser right before for faster website loading.

3. If you’re paying with PayPal make sure you are logged into your PayPal account prior to, and make sure all your information is correct. 

4. If you have a Crazy Rebels account make sure you’re logged in. If not you can make one on our website. 

5. If you want more than one collar, we recommend adding one at a time to your cart and checking out to guarantee you get your first choice, then go back for your second and check out again, etc.

What is a Mystery Collar? Mystery Collars add a little extra excitement to receiving CR mail. Mystery Collars are simply surprise collars. There is no picture of the collar, but we will list some elements like the size and possibly the name of the design. Sometimes we give you a hint as to the colors, hardware, crystals, etc. and sometimes we leave it a complete mystery. 

How long does it take for Ready Made Collars to ship? Typically we ship Ready Made collars in 7 - 10 business days unless otherwise specified. You can always find the shipping estimate on each collar page in a collection.

In case you may not have heard, CrazyRebels.com is turning ten this year! So we are celebrating all year long with over $10,000 worth of giveaways. Just our little way of saying thank you for the past ten years of supporting CR.

February’s giveaway is straight from the heart. We literally started Crazy Rebels on Instagram, drawing portraits of dogs and invoicing customers via PayPal. Before CrazyRebels.com was born, it was just an Instagram account on an iPad and a whole lot of what felt like crazy dreams. Fast forward ten years and here we are, making collars on the daily and absolutely loving every moment of it. We would not be where we are today without the word of mouth love and social media. We owe our success to Instagram and the kindness of our customers and for that we are paying it forward all year long.

We are kicking off February with a month long giveaway to enter to win a collar YOU LOVE and an iPad mini. For the collar you get to choose any CR collar design your dog wants, in your favorite colors, custom made just for your pup. To enter to win, head to our Instagram right here. 

We LOVE you! Happy February. 

It’s our birthday! Well, sort of. It’s actually our birthyear! 2022 marks 10 years since we launched CrazyRebels.com and while the actual day of the launch isn’t until November, we’re getting this party started early and celebrating all year long! When we first began all those years ago, we truly never could have imagined where we would be today. We are so very grateful for each and every person and dog we have met along the way. 

It turned out when we started this new venture we were not only building a company, we were actually creating a family. And wow do we love this family. A truly caring community of like minded, dog loving people. We are so glad you’re here.

This might be our tenth anniversary of offering you the raddest dog gear online, but we are gifting YOU all year long. We’ve done a myriad of giveaways throughout our time online, but this is going to be our most extensive string of giveaways yet! To celebrate 10, we have over $10,000 worth of giveaways planned for you over the next 12 months. Including a multitude of Crazy Rebels collars and gear, and a far reaching array of our favorite brands of dog must haves and everyday luxuries. Beginning today with the Decade Diesel. All giveaways will be hosted on Facebook or Instagram, so be sure to find us on both platforms.

The Diesel Collar

The Diesel collar was our very first collar design, so it’s only fitting it should be our first of this year’s mega giveaways too. It was inspired by our then, tiny Dober boy Diesel. He has since passed away but his memory lives on in every single Diesel collar we get to make. You see, when you select a collar you are not just getting the aesthetic design of that collar, you are also receiving a story, a little piece of our hearts in whatever form that may take. Each collar we come up with has a story from conception of design to selecting the perfect name. Over the next 12 months we’ll share more behind the collar stories and tid bits of how collars came to be. 

For the Decade Diesel we wanted a very special leather to honor the namesake dog and the collar. We selected a rare hide of super soft, gold distress Italian lambskin imported from Italy. This leather is both new and old. The vintage distress finish gives it the look of a well loved collar, which it is, and the solid brass hardware and matching padding completes its regal finish. If you want to add one of these commemorative collector’s edition Golden Decade Diesels to your collar wardrobe, we are offering a very limited number for custom order.

And if you just want to win one, you can enter to do so here.

To those of you who are new to CR, welcome, we can’t wait to get to know you. And to those of you have been with us since the start, you hold a very special place in our hearts. Thank you for helping us grow, learn, create  and connect. We couldn’t have done it without you.
