It's easy to put your photo on your own fake magazine cover when you use the free online design tool at YourCover.com.  The first step in the process is to choose your theme, enter the person's name and the date of your issue. After you have uploaded the photo and cropped it (see our How To Crop video for detailed instructions), you can then choose one of our magazine cover templates to fit with your photo.

The last step in creating this unique personalized gift is to customize each headline of the magazine cover.  You can use the default headlines that automatically appear on your magazine cover, or modify them slightly to fit your cover star's story, or use one of our suggestions for headlines, or write one of your own.  You can be as detailed or as simple or as creative as you want - it's up to you.

Have fun and if you have any questions about using the magazine cover templates at YourCover - just send us an email or give us a call - we're happy to help!

There comes a time when it no longer suffices to buy a gift that is straight off the shelf. Sometimes you need to make sure that what you are giving is a truly unique personalized gift. You will need to get a little creative to show your significant other, friend or relative that you really care. I know, you are asking yourself, "How can I best express my love? How can I show this person just how great I think they are?" Well fret no more my friends.

It doesn't matter if it is for your high-school sweetheart, best friend, mother or even your boss; we have asked these questions of ourselves and have compiled a list of easy ways to let your creativity reign so that you can give the perfect gift! Remember giving is one of the treasures in life, so do it right and make it memorable. Below is a sampling of some our personalized gift ideas, click the link to see the full list.

5) Keep Your Eyes And Ears Open

You never know when the perfect gift will present (pun intended) itself. Be a careful observer, and take notice of expressions of desire when they say, "Oh, I just love this!" Go home and write it down or send it in an email to yourself so you don't forget. The fact that you noticed and remembered something that they expressed interest in will certainly be ‘big points’ in your favor.

9) Location, Location, Location!

Not just for real estate, but also for the creative gift giver that wants to add the element of surprise to their gift. Add excitement to the whole experience by placing your gift in a spot where the recipient will find it. The spot you choose can have something to do with the gift itself or the spot can relate directly to your relationship.

10) Any Day Is A Good Day

You don't have to give a gift only on designated holidays or occasions, sometimes the best days are the unexpected ones. Catch the person on a Monday or an early morning Sunday just waking up, any day you pick will be a good 'Just thinking of you' day.
