Most people do not like rainy days, but I do!  Although I do LOVE the warm weather, I would not mind a rainy day at all.  Especially on a Saturday when you have no plans...it gives you the chance to lounge around the house, to relax and go at your own pace.  You can also make a nice dent in your 'to-do list' because we all know how deep that gets without your attention.  Whether you have to do the pile of laundry in the hallway that the kids made over the week or you're trying to get the kids to do that pile of laundry. 

Sometimes there are other items on that to-do list, maybe your parents' anniversary is coming up and you would like to find them a really unique anniversary gift because they have everything under the sun.  You should probably start searching for a gift...you'll have a better chance of finding that, than getting the kids to do their laundry.

A personalized magazine cover would be a great idea for your parents' anniversary!  Customize the anniversary magazine cover template at YourCover with a star quality picture and headlines all about your parents; they will be sure to fall in love with this customized gift that's all about them!  So ignore the laundry on your rainy day and have fun creating a personalized magazine cover to say "Congratulations!".

"One half of me is yours, the other half yours-
Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours!" - William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare, poet, playwright, and most importantly, hopeless romantic...  He understood that when it comes to love, spare no sense of dignity, let it all out.

Sure, flowers, candy, and champagne are all nice "romantic gifts", but aren't they all a bit overdone and...dull?  Yeah, a truly great romantic gift idea is hard to come by these days, especially when so many people are on such a tight budget, but don't worry!  A YourCover custom magazine cover is better than fake magazine covers because it allows you to be creative with customizable headlines and the magazine title. That way you can create something that truly comes from the heart!  It's especially wonderful for those special occasions because let's be honest, who doesn't love personalized anniversary gifts?  Use Billy Shakespeare for inspiration and create a custom magazine cover for that someone special in your life.  Unique photo gifts are so much better than a plain picture in a frame and you'll be sure to impress with this very romantic gift idea.   

Make your next anniversary super special.  Take it from my hopeless romantic of an associate, Kristina, personalized anniversary gifts score major points. 

Not your anniversary?  Who cares?  Make one for the love of your life anyway!  The best gifts are always unexpected.  When you don't have to do the dishes tonight, you can thank me later.

While doing a little bit more research about Quinceaneras and Quinceanera gifts, I found an interesting article written by Rebecca M. Cuevas De Caissie on bellaonline.com.  She says...

"There are some essentials for a traditional Quinceañera and then there are accessories that make the occasion seem like a fantasy for the evening. I am going to provide you with a list of items that are traditionally included. In the list of gifts and accessories for a Quinceañera will also be the meanings behind each of these items.

Traditional gifts for the Quinceañera

TIARA
The Tiara symbolizes a princess before God. This usually replaces a headpiece worn by Quinceañera until she is blessed during the festivities.

SCEPTER
A Scepter is placed in the hand of the Quinceañera to symbolize her taking on adult roles as well as the authority that goes with her new position in the family and society.

PRAYER BOOK OR BIBLE
A prayer book or Bible is given to the Quinceañera as a resource to keep the word of God in her life. 

A RING OR BRACELET
A ring or a bracelet is given to symbolize the never-ending circle of life, the never-ending cycle of womanhood as well as symbolic of her future contributions. 

EARRINGS
Earrings are given to remind her to keep her ears in tune to the voice of God, or to listen to the word of God as well as the world around her.

MEDALLION
A medallion may be given to the Quinceañera as a symbol of her faith or as a reminder of her Quinceañeras celebration, usually numbered 15."

Since when did Facebook and Twitter rule the world?  Can you even remember a time where they didn't infest your daily routine?  I suppose it is amusing hearing about the mini-feud between Kim Kardashian and Demi Moore, and which kid doesn't enjoy the moment when the internet challenged parent screams out, "Oh my God!! My high school crush just friended me on Facebook!"

These social networking sites are a fast moving phenomena, changing the very nature of socializing and it has created a fantastic forum for internet marketing. 
 YourCover has joined the craze and you too can follow us on Twitter and Facebook to get instant access to hints & tips on creating your personalized magazine covers and coupons for your picture gift idea!  It's amazing that you have the ability to access this information so quickly...join the fun!
