Best Birthday Gift IdeasSometimes, we get so consumed with our day-to-day activities, that we never stop to enjoy what's truly important.  Mom is always driving this one and that one to soccer practice, while Dad is still working when he's away from work and the kids are always texting or with their headphones on.

It is so important to put everything down and enjoy your family after a long day.  A good time would be around the dinner table to chat about everyone's day or have a pizza and movie or game night.   I know with all of the running around it is hard to sit down and have a family meal, but try to make it happen at least 2 or 3 times a week.  You might be surprised at how much you all have in common!

You won't regret creating all those awesome family memories by just setting aside some time for each other.  Down the road, when you're searching for ideas for a 50th birthday gift for mom, you can catalog all of your great memories by creating a fake magazine cover.  The best birthday gift ideas are those that reminisce about the past, show the present and describe the future.  Get yours now at YourCover.com.

Gift Ideas for the Woman Turning 50!

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 by Jessica
My aunt just turned 50. She doesn't look it, or act like it, but regardless I know that her turning fifty is getting to her somewhat. It's something that will happen to everyone, if it hasn't already. 

I thought it would be a great idea to commemorate this special time in her life by making her a fake magazine cover, (but really, it's so much more than that!) Her husband (my uncle) loves to take pictures so I had many to choose from. 
50th Birthday Magazine Cover
I can't even begin to tell you about her elated reaction. She laughed at the headlines I wrote for her and when she looked at all the great family pictures on the back cover, she started to cry with joy! Honestly, I had never seen a reaction like that before, nor was I expecting it, but nonetheless, the YourCover magazine cover was a hit at the party and everyone kept telling me that my personalized birthday gift was one of the best birthday gift ideas they've seen in a while.  

If you know someone who's about to turn 50, make them remember all of the great successes in their life and remind them how much everyone loves them. This is honestly one of the best ideas for 50th birthday gift that you'll come across, I guarantee it!

As Louise Mattlage states in Women and Aging:  "I've known younger women who were only forty and (who seemed) older than I was at fifty. Fifty? Who's talking about fifty? That's youth. That's at the very crest of success. No, not the crest, for that would indicate the subsiding, the demise. Fifty is simply young. It has health. Beauty. A rich background of talents and the means to express them. Fifty is strong. Fifty is the end of the burdens of a retarded childhood, one's own and one's children's. It is freedom from menstruation. It is full of power. It is being totally alive and having plenty of time to be alive."

In exactly one week from now my mother will be turning 50 (shh, don't tell), or as she likes to say, "celebrating the 30th anniversary of her 20th birthday".  Ideas for a 50th birthday gift can often be hard to come by since 50 is seen a a big turning point.  Last year, Barbie herself turned 50 as well as Legos and the state of Alaska. 

As a twenty year old college student, thinking about ideas for a 50th birthday gift is quite a challenge.  While I was pondering what to get my mom, I realized personalized birthday gifts are not only the best gift to receive but the most fun to give.  I find they always elicit the biggest smiles :)

Making a personalized magazine cover from YourCover is the perfect 50th birthday gift.  What could be better than a picture of my mom and me on a magazine cover with clever headlines taken from the YourCover headline library.  Simple, easy, and fun, I can't wait to give my mom a unique photo gift for her 50th birthday!

Ideas for 50th Birthday GiftMy 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!

Ideas For 50th Birthday Gift

For most men, turning the big 5-0 is kind of a big deal. By now you probably have an established career, a home, and probably a family.

It's also around this time that you're hitting the gym hard, working off that gut that started developing once your metabolism gave up on you.  (Those beers didn't help either.)  You might even catch yourself envying the twenty-something-year-old men around you with their six-pack abs and full head of hair.  

But then you say to yourself, "Hey, being 50 isn't so bad.  At least I can do what I want without telling mom and in about five years, my senior discount will kick in."  

We've all heard of the mid-life crisis and some have suffered the consequences of said affliction, but if you ask me, turning 50 should be a great moment in someone's life.  I mean really, did you know that in over 10 countries the average life expectancy for men is under the age of 50 ? 

Just in the past few days here at YourCover, we've received some of our best covers yet (to me at least)!  They weren't the best because they were identical to a real magazine.. They were the best because the person who made them really took the time to get personal about his friends who were all turning 50! They were so funny and fantastic AND I even felt like I got to know his friends (just from his headlines). I loved the covers so much, I can't even imagine how his friends are going to react to them.  

It's hard to think of ideas for 50th birthday gift and birthday gifts for guys in general are tough. A YourCover photo magazine cover is the perfect way to "remember the good ol' times" of youth, comment on the things that haven't changed, and mention the great successes. They are just as fun to make as they are to receive so if you have to celebrate someone's 50th birthday, go be creative and dig up those memories and make that person laugh about his age. Laughing makes you younger (I think...)

Personalized Birthday Gift

Exhausted by unfunny milestone birthday cards in the Hallmark rack? Don’t have hours and hours to make and order your personalized birthday gift? There is a solution for you…

In theory, personalized birthday gifts always sound like fun. However, when it comes time to constructing custom birthday gifts, be they for a milestone birthday – like a 30th or 40th bash, or for an off number random year, like 33 or 22 – the gift giver inevitably gets swamped by logistics and extra costs. In fact, whether you're putting together a scrapbook of photos, hand knitting an embroidered blanket, or mocking up birthday T-shirts or apparel items, you'll no doubt spend far more time and energy than you anticipated you would when you first had your brilliant “custom birthday gifts” idea.

Is there a way out? Can you find an awesome personalized birthday gift that will be a terrific birthday gift for guys that won't break the bank, won't rob you of precious days of your life, and won’t end up looking gimmicky, cheep, cheesy, or overly sentimental? The answer is a resounding “yes”! The answer is a personalized magazine cover.

Here’s the deal – simply take a digital photo (or scan in a non-digital photo and upload it as digital) and use this photo as the basis for your personalized magazine cover. Then, using free online template software, add bylines, headlines, and other text and images to custom tailor the keepsake. You can generate bawdy 30th birthday magazine covers, complete with headlines describing bachelor-related trysts, work-related in jokes, and so forth. Alternatively, if you're celebrating a 40th birthday gift for a family man, you can design the page layout so that the kids of the birthday boy can write in their own headlines and even do some of the layout work. On the other hand, if you're crafting a 50th birthday magazine cover, you can riff off the timeless “over the hill” theme by, for instance, putting fake ads on the back cover for elderly assistance products, such as the Craftsmatic adjustable bed, The Clapper, and your local mortuary.

The point is, dreaming up and executing a personalized milestone birthday magazine cover is simple, fast, relatively cheap, and lots of fun to do and you will have a really great personalized birthday gift for all the guys in your life. You can embark on a project with friends and family, or you can do it quickly on your computer. Templates abound to help you get the job done efficiently, so you won't have to worry about formatting details and the like. So what do you have to lose? Explore this fun action today!
