What are the best sweet 16 gifts?  Well, if you have watched even just a small part of one episode of MTV's "My Super Sweet 16" show, you know the answer is a HUGE party and a new car!  Since those particular gifts are out of the budgetary limits of most gift-givers here are a few suggestions for other things that might thrill a teenage girl.

A "splurge" gift - hit one of the finest jewelers in the world for a signature piece of jewelry - it's hard to go wrong with something from Tiffany's - this brand name still holds lots of cachet in the teen world.  It's also a classic gift that she can keep forever.

An "adventure" gift - take your Sweet 16 white water rafting, ballooning, bungee-jumping or for a glider ride.  This exciting gift is something you could participate in along with her so you will share a great memory together too.

A "pampering" gift - manicure, pedicure, massage, facial - a day at the spa (or a treatment or two) feels very luxurious to any girl (whether she's 16, 40 or 80).  Make her feel like a princess with a soft robe, soft music and the lovely treatments she'll experience.Sweet 16 Gift

A "superstar" gift - many teenage girls dream of "fame" and would love to see themselves on the cover of a magazine.  Make the dream come true by creating a personalized sweet 16 magazine cover starring her photo.  Each headline is also about the Sweet 16 girl, her likes/dislikes, friends, family, etc.  It's a personalized sweet 16 gift that will make her feel like a star.  She'll keep it forever because it is so unique and because you made it just for her.

At YourCover make a personalized sweet 16 gift that will be the hit of the party (and that won't break the bank - pricing starts at only $12.95 for a gift as unique as the girl starring on the front cover),

Advertising and marketing on a budget can be difficult, especially for small and local businesses/events. What's going to make you stand out? A great, inexpensive, and effective way to advertise your business, event, or product is a YourCover custom magazine cover.

For example, I really love to garden and I also think that it's really important to think locally. I'm always trying to help local businesses when I can. I made up an event flier to demonstrate how our unique magazine cover templates can really make quite the impression the next time you need inexpensive advertisement.

Creating the magazine cover was also very easy to do. You don't need to hire an artist to make a YourCover magazine cover look fantastic. This DO-IT-YOURSELF project will save you time and money.  These days, everyone can use a little more saving!

All you have to do is upload a picture and customize your headlines to your specific needs. YourCover.com also has an option to create a back cover, which is perfect for those who need more space to add pictures or text. I made up a sample back cover and used the space to add great pictures and more information. 

You certainly don't have to use the back cover if you don't want to, but here are a list of great uses for the back cover:
  1. ADDITIONAL PICTURES
  2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
  3. Co-Advertising (Split Costs)
  4. Coupons/Giveaways/Gift Certificates
A YourCover magazine cover is really a creative way to advertise and it's something your competitors will surely wish they thought of first.  If you find that you are someone that needs to advertise on a shoestring, try creating a custom magazine cover. The possibilities are limitless.

Somehow we got into a whole discussion this morning about names for grandparents.  It seems many languages have similar names for mothers and fathers: mama, mommy, maman, daddy, dad or papa, poppy as these are among the first sounds that babies can make.  But getting to Grandma and Grandpa is a step away. 

Gift For GrandparentsIn our office the names for grandparents varied from the standard Grandma to Nanny, Nonni, YaYa, and Gran.  No matter what you call your grandparents, having them as a part of your family is what makes them so special.

If you are looking for a unique gift for grandparents, creating a personalized magazine cover featuring their photo (alone or with the grandchildren) is sure to be one of their treasured keepsakes.  YourCover is so much more than a fake magazine cover because it is more than just a photo on a generic mag cover, by customizing the headlines to be all about your Nanny and Poppy, you make a gift as unique as your family!  

To make your own unique grandparents' gift, choose the Personal Celebrity template, the Special Event template or GRAND Magazine cover template.  If your gift is occasion related, choices expand to birthdays, anniversaries, retirements and reunions.

Fake Magazine Cover for 21st BirthdaySomeone once asked me, "If money was no object, what would your dream job be?"  Without any hesitation I answered, "I would be a singer."  Let me just tell you, I cannot carry a tune if my life depended on it, but when I'm in my car all by myself, I like to think I can. 

Dance and music are a natural high for me and it would be amazing to be able to share what I love with millions of people.  So until I become a famous singer, I will enjoy being famous on a personalized magazine cover made just for me! 

What a better way to start my career than with the paparazzi already after me?!

YourCover will help customize your own fake magazine covers for any occasion! Create fake magazine now to help jumpstart someone's dream job.

I've always found it impossible to find the right gift for the right price (and as a college kid that price is pretty low).  Within days of working here I discovered that creating a YourCover is more than just a fake magazine cover, its a memory.  Whether you are looking for a personalized anniversary gift, a Father's day gift, or simply an instant gift, YourCover has it all! 

For example, the only thing in the world my dad loves more than my family is my dog, Summer.  With Father's day right around the corner, I thought of the perfect gift - a YourCover magzine cover.  No other fake magazine cover generator offers the amount of magazine cover templates and unique headlines as YourCover does.  YourCover allowed me to create a unique photo gift commemorating not only my dad but my dog too (they make quite the pair)!  At last my gift finding woes are finally over (a custom gift at a low price, I'm in heaven), and your's should be too - only at YourCover can you create more than just fake magazine covers - but capture a memory, and commemorate your favorite people.

Fake Magazine CoverMy future husband and I have been looking for something unique to put together for our parents thank you gift at our wedding rehearsal dinner.  We decided to start creating fake magazine covers for them from YourCover.  We wanted to use multiple photos from over the years of both my fiance, myself and each of our parents (the YourCover system allows up to 5 extra photos on the back cover).

We are having a blast customizing these magazine covers for our parents with their easy & fun to use customization tool!  We cannot wait to give them their own personalized magazine cover  come September!  We think it will give them something to look back on and appreciate for years to come.
