In just twelve days it is officially summer, Father’s day, and my little sister’s graduation from middle school to high school.  How exciting is that?!  For the past month, these celebrations have been creeping up on me and I still don’t have anything to give them.  If you’re like me, and you need help with finding an instant gift for a friend or loved one, YourCover has the answer!  A unique personalized gift is THE perfect, gift for Father’s Day or a graduation because it shows how much you care.  Using YourCover’s custom magazine cover templates you can create and personalize your gift in an instant!

As fun as they are to receive, I think Your Cover personalized magazine covers are even more fun to make.  Choosing from a wide variety of headlines, I can create a unique gift in less than the time it would take me to drive to CVS and pick out a card (never mind the hunt for a gift to go with it). A unique, personalized, AND instant gift, what more could I ask for?  With all this extra time, maybe I’ll get a chance to celebrate summer and finally hit the beach.

For most men, turning the big 5-0 is kind of a big deal. By now you probably have an established career, a home, and probably a family. It's also around this time that you're hitting the gym hard, working off that gut that started developing once your metabolism gave up on you.  (Those beers didn't help either.)  You might even catch yourself envying the twenty-something-year-old men around you with their six-pack abs and full head of hair. But then you say to yourself, "Hey, being 50 isn't so bad.  At least I can do what I want without telling mom and in about five years, my senior discount will kick in." We've all heard of the mid-life crisis and some have suffered the consequences of said affliction, but if you ask me, turning 50 should be a great moment in someone's life.  I mean really, did you know that in over 10 countries the average life expectancy for men is under the age of 50 ? Just in the past few days here at YourCover, we've received some of our best covers yet (to me at least)!  They weren't the best because they were identical to a real magazine.. They were the best because the person who made them really took the time to get personal about his friends who were all turning 50! They were so funny and fantastic AND I even felt like I got to know his friends (just from his headlines). I loved the covers so much, I can't even imagine how his friends are going to react to them. It's hard to think of ideas for 50th birthday gift and birthday gifts for guys in general are tough. A YourCover photo magazine cover is the perfect way to "remember the good ol' times" of youth, comment on the things that haven't changed, and mention the great successes. They are just as fun to make as they are to receive so if you have to celebrate someone's 50th birthday, go be creative and dig up those memories and make that person laugh about his age. Laughing makes you younger (I think...)

The Birthday magazine cover template at YourCover is definitely the most popular theme chosen by our customers.  Of course, that makes sense in that everyone has a birthday and there are birthdays every day of the year!  Did you know that although birthdays are pretty evenly distributed over the year, there tend to be more births in September and October?  And some sources indicate that October 5th is the most populous birthday date in the United States.

Personalized Birthday Gift - Birthday Magazine CoverIf you are looking for a great personalized birthday gift, a magazine cover from YourCover may be the answer you are looking for.  What make our personalized photo magazine covers particularly unique is that you are able to revise all the headlines to be specifically about the person starring on the front.  There are other fake magazine cover sites out there on the internet but nearly all of them only allow you to personalize the photo.  It is cool to have your photo on a fake magazine cover, but what makes YourCover a really special personalized birthday gift is that the text on the front is so, well, personal! 

When we hear from our customers, the feedback we get is that is the customization of the headlines that really thrills the recipient.  Give YourCover a try, it's fun to make (and easy) and your gift will be the hit of the party!

Big thanks go out to all of our wonderful customers who have made May 2010 the best month ever at YourCover!  We were super busy with all the personalized magazine covers being made for Mother's Day along with the early Father's Day gifts and Graduation gifts being created.

Father's Day is still a couple of weeks off and graduations are ongoing throughout the month, so there is still plenty of time to create your customized magazine cover for your dad or grad!

One of the things we liked best about May was that so many of our customers started using YourCover to create a really special coach's gift.  The sports seasons at schools and inGift for Coach - YourCover Magazine Cover youth leagues are drawing to a close and many parents would like to offer their coach a special thank you for a great season and for the many hours of commitment to their child's team.  The YourCover Coach Magazine Cover is a great way let your coach know that you really appreciated the time and effort they put in over the last weeks/months.  If you need a special gift for coach, consider YourCover!

Fun Summer Gifts from YourCover!The first day of June has arrived!  Here in the Northeast, we are getting our fair share of heat and humidity, you would think it is already summer!  However, summer doesn't officially start until June 20...we still have another 2 1/2 weeks to go!  June 20 is also Father's Day and you have 2 1/2 weeks to get your father a gift...any idea of what you might get him yet?

Instead of wasting time scouring through the internet for ideas, I created a YourCover personalized magazine cover for my Dad.  It made a perfect Father's Day gift idea for him, as he is incredibly hard to shop for.  I put a picture of him golfing [which he LOVES to do], front and center on his own fake magazine covers and customized all of the headlines according to him.  What he loves to do, doesn't like to do, hobbies, etc.  It's fun to create with anyone of your family members too!  My brother and I got a kick out of thinking of what headlines to write...we poked fun at him a bit of course! ;0)

So if you need a unique Father's Day Gift, visit YourCover.com to get started!  Don't forget about your summer birthdays and as the school sports season winds down, don't forget to a gift for coach too!

Personalized Father's Day Cover

For all of you American Idol fans watchng the final on Wednesday night, you either were REALLY happy or REALLY sad.  I have to admit, this season of American Idol did not compare to past years and did not hold my interest.  Despite having stopped watching several episodes ago, I was still happy that Lee won.  From the episodes I did watch...I LOVED Siobhan, in my opinion she was the most talented on that stage, but she ruined it for me when she started screaming every song.  After that I became a Lee DeWyze fan. 

I think all of you Lee fans will have to agree with me that he has a great voice, amazing talent & of course he's such a cutie!  He has been on the ride of his life since the day he walked into his Chicago audition and there is more to come!  He has been very blessed that this has happened to him as one of so many thousands who try to make it in the music business.  Who knew that your local painter would be the next American Idol?  

Lee is a run-of-the-mill regular kind of guy with loving parents who support him 100%...you gotta love that!  This coming Father's Day will be the best for Lee's dad...what better gift can a father get than to see your son become a star and do what he loves to do best?  Well we thought it would be fun to commemorate this special Father's Day for Mr. DeWyze and let him be a star just like his son by putting him on his own personalized magazine cover!  Finding unique gift ideas for Father's Day can be a challenge but a personalized magazine cover is a smart solution if you are lookin for a unique Father's Day gift.

Show your Dad how much you mean to him this year with the best personalized photo gift idea, a Father's Day personalized magazine cover from YourCover.

Father's day is fast approaching.  What are you getting for your dad this year? Another card?

According to www.chiff.com, 
"Nearly 95 million Father’s Day cards were given last year in the United States, making Father’s Day the fourth-largest card-sending occasion."

Can you believe that?! 95 million cards! Also, why are neckties always associated with Father's Day? I remember making necktie arts and crafts in school whenever Father's Day was coming.  Don't you think dad has enough cards and ties by now? 
Unique Father's Day Gift
This year, make something really special for dad. A custom magazine cover is perfect. You can say so much more than you can with a plain old card you pick up at the grocery store. My dad is kind of a food snob, loves nice wine and cigars, and absolutely loves golf. Me, a poor "just out of college graduate with no money" can't really afford to take him out to a really nice dinner or out for a round of golf.  

This cool custom magazine cover is great because I can still say Happy Father's Day and touch on his favorite things, mention some of his silly habits, and get really personal all without breaking the bank.  

Moreover, the chiff.com article continued to say that, "Sons and daughters represent 50 percent of the Father's Day card purchases whereas nearly 20 percent of Father’s Day cards are purchased by wives for their husbands. That leaves 30 percent of the cards which go to grandfathers, sons, brothers, uncles and someone special." 

This unique personalized gift is perfect for everyone.  Your dad is not the only Father! You can make one for a brother, grandfather, an uncle...whoever! Replace boring cards with a gift from YourCover.com where gifts come from the heart!
