Gift for CoachIt has been a very hot & humid summer here in the Northeast.  The players in our town's summer softball league end their games drenched in their uniforms.  We don't know whether it's the water bottle they just poured over themselves or the outcome of the hard game they just played.

As fans, we think the players are absolutely crazy to be playing in the 90 degree heat, but they don't seem to mind...they just want to play!  With their season drawing to an end, I thought creating fake magazine covers for the whole team or just a gift for coach, would be a great way to remember this HOT and wonderful season!  

A personalized magazine cover is a great way to commemorate the coach's job well done and the team's hard work throughout the season.  I created a fake magazine cover to resemble Sports Illustrated for my fiance and he LOVED IT!  Start creating your fake magazine cover now for your team or coach.

Fake Magazine CoversMelissa Joan Hart explained in People her motivation on her weight loss.  She is in the same boat with many other Americans that are trying to lose (53%) or maintain their weight (25%), by changing the amount of food they eat (71%); changing the types of foods they eat (65%); engaging in physical activity (62%); changing how often they eat (44%); and counting calories (19%). 
This is according to the “2009 Food & Health Survey, Consumer Attitudes toward Food, Nutrition & Health." It was conducted online Feb. 19 to March 11 2009 by the International Food Information Council Foundation.

With a little more than half of Americans trying to lose weight, you probably know someone who is trying or has.  It is a greatIdeas for 50th Birthday Gift accomplishment for someone to fulfill & you should help them celebrate just like Melissa Joan Hart did...put them on a magazine cover!  Have a mini photo shoot and then surprise them with fake magazine covers to show off their new body!

In exactly one week from now my mother will be turning 50 (shh, don't tell), or as she likes to say, "celebrating the 30th anniversary of her 20th birthday".  Ideas for a 50th birthday gift can often be hard to come by since 50 is seen a a big turning point.  Last year, Barbie herself turned 50 as well as Legos and the state of Alaska. 

As a twenty year old college student, thinking about ideas for a 50th birthday gift is quite a challenge.  While I was pondering what to get my mom, I realized personalized birthday gifts are not only the best gift to receive but the most fun to give.  I find they always elicit the biggest smiles :)

Making a personalized magazine cover from YourCover is the perfect 50th birthday gift.  What could be better than a picture of my mom and me on a magazine cover with clever headlines taken from the YourCover headline library.  Simple, easy, and fun, I can't wait to give my mom a unique photo gift for her 50th birthday!

After working throughout the day, coming home to a dirty house, and then having to make dinner, you remember it's your brother's birthday coming up and you haven't gotten him anything.

Shoot, another "I don't wanna" on your forever growing to-do list. What do you do? Well, if you're like me, struggling to make rent, and have a spoiled brother that has everything (literally) then the best birthday gift ideas are ones that come from the heart.

You really can't go wrong with a personalized birthday gift, one that says, "You're the greatest little bro ever!" or "Thanks for not telling mom I over-watered her flowers" or "Bro and Sis Team up for the best karaoke duet!!"    

I mean let's face it, getting birthday gifts for guys can be a challenge, and no one needs a challenge when they're already EXTREMELY BUSY. If you want to get a gift that really makes a statement, get personal and make a magazine cover with YOUR picture and YOUR headlines. It's so fun and easy and it will mean more than any other gift.

The best thing about a gift like this? You don't need to drive all over town to find the store, wait in line, or worry about exchanges. Everyone loves getting a gift with a personal touch. Even big tough guys like my little brother...

I tried something new last week, something I wasn't sure I was going to like, but it was actually a lot of fun!! FISHING... it was a little boring at first, but as soon as we caught our first fish, it was such a rush. 

That made me think of all of our customers who have created a custom magazine cover with the "star" person and their big catch!

I never understood why people would take such pride in their catches, but after a long day of fishing and only catching little bait fish, I got the point right away.

If you or someone you know likes to fish, you probably have a great picture of them holding their great catch.

Fake magazine covers would make the perfect gift for that fisherman in your life whether it be a birthday, anniversary, or a gag gift! It's fun, it's inexpensive, and it's personal! And...you really can't beat an instant gift that delivers instant smiles...

Personalized Birthday GiftMy stepmom is turning the big 4-0 soon!  It would be easy to get her the 'The Year You Were Born -1970,' book and have her chuckle at the following:

President:
Richard Nixon
Vice President: Spiro Agnew
Population: 205,052,174
Life Expectancy: 70.8 years
Unemployment: 3.5%
Cost of a new home: $26,600
Median Household Income: $8,734
Cost of a 1st class stamp: $.06
Cost of a gallon of regular gas: $.36

Yeah she'll get a kick out of it when she flips through the pages the first time, but then it will just sit on her bookshelf and collect dust for another 40 years! Personalized Birthday Gift

Searching to find the best birthday gift ideas for Lisa was fun, but I wanted to do a personalized birthday gift and that made it more difficult with all of the personalized gifts available out there.  However, fake magazine covers from YourCover personalized magazine covers made my decision easy. 

I was able to turn her into a magazine cover star!  I even created a back cover with all of statistics of the 1970's that would appear in the book!  This personalized birthday gift will showcase much better on a desk or bookshelf than the book would, in its beautiful acrylic frame. 

I think I might just make one for my dad's birthday ;0)

Romantic Gift IdeaI used to always save things until the last minute.  I have learned my lesson with not completing projects on their given due date, but unfortunately...my brother has not.  It's his 1st anniversary tomorrow and he brought to my attention last night that he had not gotten anything for his wife and he wanted my help.  Why I agreed...I don't know.

He wanted it to be a romantic gift idea, creative and of course, since it was so late already it had to be an instant gift that was available immediately.  I worked my magic to help him create several fake magazine covers of him and his sweety.  He picked the one he liked best and ordered the front cover download for just $12.95. He then downloaded it to his computer instantaneously and printed it off at at a local photo shop and it came out BEAUTIFULLY!  He popped it into a pretty frame and voila - the perfect 1st anniversary gift! 

My brother Craig and his wife Nicole will enjoy their 1st anniversary gift now and for years to come with this personalized magazine cover from YourCover.

My grandparents will be closing on a house in Florida within the next month.  This is not only exciting for them, but for me as well.  Why am I excited you ask?  Maybe it's because they are exactly 20 minutes due south of Disney World!!!!!!!!

Yes, at 24 years old, the magic of Magic Kingdom still excites me.  When I see Cinderella's castle or Mickey and Minnie's house, I can't help but grin from ear to ear.  So when I learned that my grandparents were buying a house not too far away from Mickey & Minnie's digs, I knew I had to search throught some custom gift ideas to celebrate their new home.

Trying to find a gift for grandparents was a little difficult...they have everything imagineable!  The obvious was right in front of me when I realized they were purchasing a home, so I had a picture of their house sent to me and turned it into a personalized gift idea as a personalized magazine cover. 

This unique personalized gift is a perfect gift for grandparents to display anywhere and it will look great in their new home!  Hopefully they will LOVE it and take me to Disney ;0)
