Personalized Baby Gifts - unique gift for a newborn baby: no one else will be

When it comes to picking up personalized baby gifts, parents and friends of parents tend to go overboard one way or the other. Some people choose personalized baby gifts based on the baby's sex or perceived athletic proclivities. Others buy up initialized hoodies, knitted blankets, customizable teddy bears, and the like. Still others go for the "outrageous" but useless by buying stars, planets, or even a piece of land on the moon for their lucky little ones.

If you want to stray from the beaten path of personalized baby gifts, consider ordering a personalized magazine cover. If you've got a photo of the young whippersnapper, you can easily digitally upload it and create a hilarious and/or moving tribute. Customize your headlines, add thoughtful notes, poetry, song lyrics, bits of advice, or silly goo-goo talk in the headline areas. You can craft the image so that the baby strikes a regal pose or just mess around with the layout and background to get the tone you think would mesh best with your intentions for the keepsake.

You need not have any experience as a graphic designer or editor to give these personalized baby gifts. Simply plop yourself at a computer, toy with the free templates, and let your imagination take you where it will. Unlike other personalized baby gifts - such as toys, clothes, or baby books - your magazine cover will offer a distinct snapshot of the child's earliest weeks on the planet. And, no doubt, when the child grows up, he or she will look back at the gift with intensely curious eyes.

Welcome your baby with brilliance - visit YourCover.com the moment you can  to design an imagination filled, sentimental, memorable and warm magazine cover that will last forever.  Make it a gift for his or her birthday every year thereafter.

Unique Bar Mitzvah Gift Ideas - Forget the $36 check; check out this Bar

Unique Bar Mitzvah gift ideas can easily turn out to be embarrassing, ostentatious, or just plain ridiculous. While Uncle Lenny may have the best intentions in mind when he buys you 18 acres on Mars (18 of course representing the Hebrew word Chai - or "life" - in the Jewish tradition), there are far better unique Bar Mitzvah gift ideas out there. Not all unique Bar Mitzvah gift ideas need to be sappy or silly. In fact, it can be fun, cute, and memorable to order up a personalized magazine cover for the newly minted 13 year old Jewish "adult." You can be funny and pose a photo of the young adolescent on the cover along with headlines which speak to his prowess in sports, fondness for Harry Potter books, love of astronomy or what have you. Indeed, you can shape his "magazine destiny" as it were any way you see fit. Turn him into a homerun slugger, a National Geographic explorer, a brilliant academician, or a glamorous Hollywood actor. You could also turn the tables and offer up the personalized magazine cover as a party favor to friends and relatives who make it to the Bar Mitzvah party. Be aware that you shouldn't make your magazine cover too embarrassing or revealing - some good-natured ribbing is fine, but be aware of the 13 year old's temperament and consult the parents if you think your humorous riffing may be headed "too far." In short, you can tune your magazine cover Bar Mitzvah gift idea to the mood of the occasion and create a fun, unique, family-oriented gift that's sure to be remembered and treasured - and hopefully displayed fondly for years to come.
