Only Miley Cyrus can pull a Sweet 16 bash like that of the one held for her at Disneyland. It was a starstudded event! Everyone from Mickey Mouse to Vanessa Williams was there to help her celebrate. Look at her cake!! It's almost as tall as she is...and she has heels on! Unfortunately, the average 16 year old wouldn't be able to have such a party [this is where the teens sigh in disappointment and the parents jump up & down in excitement].
Finding unique sweet 16 ideas for your daughter or son's party can be daunting.
Search for invitations, favors, cake designs, music, etc...it's like a wedding! Make your sweet 16 gift easy and fun by creating a personalized magazine cover from YourCover. Look at how beauitful Laila looks on her fake magazine cover! A friend of the family is a photographer and he took an awesome photo session of her, and mom used this to create a sweet 16 gift so Laila can remember her amazing day! She also used them as favors for her sweet 16 party to hand out to the kids - THEY WERE A HIT! Parents - you don't have to invite Mickey or Vanessa for your 16 yr. old to have a blast at their party, just make them feel like a star with their own personalized magazine cover from YourCover.

Every year for my mom's birthday my dad and I take an entire day and go to the mall in search of the perfect present. Normally moms are pretty low-key and easy to shop for, but the older my mom gets, the more stuff she accumulates. Needless to say my dad and I are not the best or most efficient shoppers in the world (we usually end up in the food court eating ice cream) and we end up each buying her a piece of jewelry.
This year however I have made it my goal to step out of the box and find a unique birthday gift. Now, I have looked far and wide for the best unique birthday gift for Mom and I think a personalized birthday gift is the way to go. I decided to make her a custom magazine cover from YourCover so she will finally be able to display something other than a pair of earrings! YourCover has so many custom templates to chose from that creating a unique gift for Mom (or Dad since his birthday is coming up too) will be simple and easy. I highly recommend a photo magazine cover because it truly is a unique gift for Mom, Dad, or anyone!

So you want to create fake magazine covers? They can be a great gift for a special occasion or they are fun to make for no reason at all. When you are looking for a tool or website to help you create fake magazine covers there are basically three types available.
The first option (which is offered by YourCover) is one that allows you to upload a photo and to personalize existing
headlines to create a fake magazine cover that is completely customized - it's not just their photo but all the info is specifically about the person starring on the front cover. There are default headlines that can stay as is or can be personalized with a name; there is also a headline library full of suggestions of other headlines to perfectly fit your situation. This option also lets you design the fake magzine cover yourself for immediate creation - see how the cover looks as you make it and revise it. You can also download a photo file for immediate printing at home or a local photo shop - instant gratification!
A second option offered by several sites is one that gives you the ability to upload a photo to a fake magazine cover and download the image for free. The downside to this type of site is that the only thing that is personalized is the photo on the front. It makes for a good joke or gag but it's lifetime value is pretty brief because it is just the person's face without any info about them or their life.
A third option is to have someone create a fake magazine cover for you. Email your photo to them and then give detailed instructions as to what the headlines will say. The upside is that you have someone else do the creation but the downside is that you have to come up with all the headlines yourself without any suggestions or ideas and that can be kind of hard. You also have to wait around for them to get back to you as opposed to an immediate response.
When using the online design tool at YourCover you are getting much more than a fake magazine cover, you are creating a personalized gift that will mean a great deal to the recipient. Get started today!

My birthday is coming up shortly & I'm pretty easy going when asked what I want to do to celebrate. Whether it's relaxing outside to a nice dinner or going out to a restaurant...I'm not picky! "Well what do you want for your birthday?" my fiance asks. What do I want? Hmmmm...that's a good question because the list can get very long ;0). I feel since there are many options to choose from, I am a fairly easy person to shop for.
However, it's not so easy when looking for birthday gifts for guys. Men are the hardest to shop for! Maybe it's because they don't need or want as much as women...I don't know what it is, but it can get frustrating at times.
It's nice when you can find a gift that's quick, easy and you know he'll love. Looking for ideas for my father's 50th birthday gift was not frustrating at all when I came across YourCover personalized magazine covers. It was quick, easy and customizable. The best part was he loved being on his own fake magazine cover!
Shopping for a birthday gift for your guy doesn't have to be so hard. Stop by and give it a try at YourCover.com!

When women hit a certain age, they become overly concerned with how they look. Do you see these wrinkles? Is that a grey hair? What happened to my butt? And with all of these products that promote stopping or slowing down the aging process, women (and even men) are spending so much time and money on trying to look younger.
I don't know if I'll ever hear my mom stop complaining about how much she's aged in the past few years and I'll probably be doing the same thing when I get to be her age (which isn't very old), but I think she's absolutely gorgeous and looks great for her age! And I'm not just saying that because she's my mom...
My mom takes great care of herself and I want her to feel as young and glamorous as I think she is. Here are some tips I've learned from my mother on how to look your youngest without spending a fortune on plastic surgery and cosmetics.
1) Exercise is so important! Keep that body in shape by going for a nice walk! My mom loves to walk our dog everyday. It keeps both of them in shape.
2) Be sure to be extra gentle when you cleanse and moisturize your face. Being rough with the skin your face causes unseen damage that can surface as you age.
3) Stay out of the sun! I know this is hard because who doesn't like a nice tan?! My mom says sun damage is the worst and causes wrinkles. She always uses sunscreen and wears a hat to protect her face from sun damage.
4) Stay active and participate in fun activities. Laughing, having fun, and surrounding yourself with positivity really does wonders for your mind, body, and spirit.
5) And most importantly, tell that special woman in your life, whether it be your mom, grandma, aunt, or wife that she is beautiful everyday that you can. It's hard dealing with getting older so make them feel good! They deserve it.
If telling them isn't enough, do what I did and try making her a unique personalized gift. A YourCover magazine cover is perfect for expressing how beautiful she is by using your favorite pictures of her and personalizing your own headlines!
It was so easy to make and I had a lot of fun choosing family pictures and remembering all the fun we've had together. I know my photo magazine cover will make her really happy and that's the most important thing.
This makes for a great gift for any and every occasion, even for a "just thinking of you" gift. For more unique photo gift ideas, check out www.yourcover.com

At a 
quick glance these may look like photos of Panda cubs and a Tiger to you, but look closer...they are actually man's best friend...DOGS!! It's the latest craze among some dog owners in China to dye their pets to look like other animals. This tre
nd hasn't been quick to pick up here in the US, but it has come close with dog owners dying their dogs fur different colors for fun!
Humans often dye their hair looking for a new change...maybe we are looking for a new change in our pets as well? A 2005 P&G survey found that 65 percent of women aged 15-75 had colored their hair in the past 12 months. Americans spent about $1.6 billion on at-home hair color in 2005, according to Euromonitor International. Average cost of hair color at a salon is $75-100, or up to hundreds of dollars for one treatment at a fancy salon. The process can take up to several hours.
I am unaware of the costs of turning your dog into a jungle animal, but depending on how much hair and how big your dog might be, I would assume it could get pretty costly. It would make an hysterical Halloween costume, although it is semi-permanent.
If you were looking for a Halloween costume or a unique gift for pet, you might just want to consider fake magazine covers.
Take Snowball here for instance. She was looking so adorable in her Hello Kitty outfit, that we decided to create a personalized photo gift for the owner. They LOVED it! It topped the outfit and they now have it sitting on their desk at work.
Forget the dye job. Fake magazine covers will make any animal or human happy!

My family is super important to me. We're all really close because we grew up together. I was raised by my parents of course, but also my grandparents and my aunts and uncles. My cousins became more like siblings and to this day, we're all inseparable. Unfortunately it's also getting harder to spend time together since we've all grown and grown to be extremely busy! When we finally do get that chance to all get together, it's one of my most favorite times. Catching up, hanging out, and simply laughing together. You never really know how much your family means to you until you don't have them there with you 24/7.
My family gets together a few times a year. We don't really call it a family reunion, but in a sense, that's exactly what it is.
Don't you think that YourCover's unique photo gifts are the perfect way to capture all the great moments of a family reunion?
It would be such a great parting gift for grandparents and family members of all ages. It's great for putting together all the highlights of the reunion such as the family softball game, hanging out with grandma and grandpa, and of course the huge family picture!
Q: What's better than an instant gift that delivers instant smiles?
A: An instant gift that delivers instant smiles and is inexpensive and hassle free!
