In my circle of friends and family, this is a BIG year for pregnancy.  I know three people who are pregnant and oddly enough are due within 3 months of each other.  One in June, another in July and lastly in August.  With 3 Baby Showers I will have to attend this year, I definitely have to be creative with gifts.  Especially since we are all mostly related!!  Baby-BabyShower-Pregnant Personalized Magazine Cover

I know YourCover personalized magazine covers will help me out in this area!  The first shower I will be attending is for my friend Karen who is due in June; she likes to stay fit and active ALL the time.  So, I decided to make a fake magazine cover for her using the BABY template and then designed it to resemble "FitPregnancy" magazine.  I got a hold of her husband who had taken this picture of her [it's awesome, isn't it!?!?], I thought it was the perfect picture to use for a magazine cover gift!

Then, I personalized all the headlines about her, her husband and family, and their soon to be new addition.  I am SOOOO EXCITED to give it to her!!!!!  She will flip!  I am even thinking about ordering the poster too and having people sign it at the bridal shower!

This unique personalized gift idea will be one that will last forever and she'll truly appreciate.  Upload that awesome photo for that unique photo gift to make that someone special happier than ever!

We had lots of fun yesterday with our give-away of two free personalized magazine covers at anyluckyday.com.  Lots of folks went to the site and made comments and tweeted and shared (on Facebook) about YourCover but only two could be the lucky winners.  However all visitors to the site were able to take advantage of the 15% discount code that was featured yesterday.

It was great to see the video that was posted on anyluckyday.com and we shared it with our readers on our Facebook page.  Giancarlo, the founder of anyluckyday really understood what YourCover is all about.  He explained how he made a Mother's Day magazine cover for his mom and how he personalized each headline to be all about her and their family.  He also discussed how YourCover is perfect for those looking for unique photo gifts or personalized anniversary gifts or a gift for grandparents.

Many of those who commented and tweeted about YourCover really liked the idea of being able to completely personalize their gift.  Uploading a photo to a magazine cover template can be fun but what really makes a personalized magazine cover an extra-special gift are the headlines and how each one is unique to the person starring on the front cover.

People get flowers on birthdays, anniversaries, as "get well" gifts, and almost any occasion you can think of.  You don't want to be like everyone else!

For those who like to go against the grain, YourCover has awesome unique photo gift ideas for you! Because let's face it, flowers are pretty and smell good, but they die and then you have to throw them away, but a YourCover photo magazine cover lasts forever and is in most cases, cheaper than a dozen roses.  That makes the custom magazine cover way more valuable than boring flowers.   

With a recovering economy, make every dollar count!  Unique gifts ideas like a YourCover photo magazine cover is definitely more bang for your buck! These days, who can't afford to be more practical anyway?  Flowers are so temporary and just seem to be wasteful.  Although receiving flowers can be sweet, were they picked up at the gas station after work?  Sometimes there's just not much thought in picking up a bouquet of flowers.  

It means a lot more to someone when you spend a little time putting thought into a gift, instead of just picking up the same old flowers you get every year.  A YourCover magazine cover is so easy to make, and our default headlines are great for everyone.  Make every moment count for something and cherish your favorite times forever.  Making a custom magazine cover at YourCover not only gives you an opportunity to be cute and loving, but the person you make it for can look back on it years from now and love it just the same as the day they received it, maybe even more!  Can you say that about flowers?  Be creative! Be unique! Be romantic! Be everything they want you to be and start making a cover today!

Early summer is quite a busy time of year.  You've got Mother's Day, Father's Day, and of course, Graduations!  Let's face it!  Time is money! Who has time to look around for so many gifts for so many different people? YourCover is your one-stop-shop this year!

I made my friend a Graduation cover and his parents loved it so much, they asked for one too!  I thought it would be an even better idea to make them a mug and mouse pad so that they could keep a picture of their handsome son around the office!  

If you're in need of unique gifts for Mother's Day or Father's day, you can't go wrong with a mug or mouse pad for the office.  They'll love it! You can make a custom magazine cover of anyone!  Even a pet!  Or you can be as efficient as me and "kill two birds with one cover".  Know anyone that is going to graduate soon?  Make them a YourCover personalized magazine cover!  

Personalized photo gift ideas are great for all occasions and for everyone.  They are so simple and easy to make.  Create an account today, make a cover, and put it on anything! Along with our Front Cover Prints, Front/Back Cover prints, and downloads, we also have 20" x 24" Posters, Mugs, Mouse Pads, and T-Shirts.  Accessories like these start at only $16.95 and everyone will love them.

SIGN UP for a FREE account today at www.YourCover.com  

Why have an account?  Creating an account allows you to save the magazine covers you design.  Say you're working on a cover, but don't have time to finish right away.  Having an account allows you to save YourCover and come back to it later.  It's also great because, like me for example, I sent my friend a Front Cover Photo Print, his parents saw it, loved it and wanted it.  Instead of having to re-create the custom magazine cover, it was already saved in my account and I just had to place my second order.  Gift giving couldn't be easier!

Personalized Sports Magazine CoverThere's something about this time of year that I just love.  I know for certain it's the warm days that make me skip out of my house in the morning [okay, maybe not skip], along with the birds singing and the fresh smell of flowers blooming.  The warm weather also brings all of our lazy bodies outside to enjoy outdoor sports!  Baseball and Softball, Biking and Running to name a few. 

My fiance coaches and plays on a men's softball team and has been doing it for years now.  He always looks forward to getting the team outside to practice on that first 65 degree day and to start preparing for the season.  The season is long, running from May to the end of August, but it makes for a lot of fun during the summer.  Friends and family come to watch their games, even enjoying a picnic while cheering on our favorite team! 

My future mother-in-law loves to photograph the games and is great at grabbing those perfect action shots.  As each season draws to a close, it is great to look back at all of those pictures from the winning season, or in our poor case, losing season! 
One year, while I was looking at the photos, I was running through all the possible photo gift ideas that I could create for my fiance.  He would love to show off the action shots of him and I decided that creating personalized magazine cover would do the trick!  I wanted to emulate a Sports Illustrated cover and did just that!

Joe LOVED his YourCover personalized magazine cover and was asking if I can make one for every player!  I said, "Sure, why not!?"  Everyone on the team got their own personalized magazine cover, with each headline referring to their play over the season and of course, an action shot of them front and center! 

Keep in mind what you can create with all of your snapshots this sports season.  It could be made into a wonderful personalized photo gift!  Start yours now at YourCover!
