It must be years since the last time I have been in a tanning bed. I think I went the last time because I wanted to get a base tan before a vacation so I wouldn't burn, but since then, I haven't gone for a couple of reasons.
- I hear an advertisement played on the radio almost everyday stating, "Tanning once a month can increase your chance of skin cancer by 75%."
- It's an expense that I don't need.
But of course....what did I do the other day that almost all brides do? I went tanning. I want to have a nice summer glow because right now I'm glowing like Casper. That radio advertisement was ringing in my head as I was in the tanning bed & I felt guilty while doing it, but I did it anyway because I want to look good. The vanity of it all I must admit....
Creating a
fake magazine cover would have been a much better and healthier way to express my vanity! It would be the perfect
romantic gift idea for my husband-to-be for our wedding day. That perfect
personalized gift that expresses my feelings for just him and I alone.
What's even better, is that it doesn't increase my chance of skin cancer by 75% and my soon-to-be husband can enjoy it with me too [he doesn't enjoy tanning]. YourCover personalized magazine covers is your
instant gift for special occasion to remember forever!
Melissa Joan Hart explained in People her motivation on her weight loss. She is in the same boat with many other Americans that are trying to lose (53%) or maintain their weight (25%), by changing the amount of food they eat (71%); changing the types of foods they eat (65%); engaging in physical activity (62%); changing how often they eat (44%); and counting calories (19%).
This is according to the “2009 Food & Health Survey, Consumer Attitudes toward Food, Nutrition & Health." It was conducted online Feb. 19 to March 11 2009 by the International Food Information Council Foundation.
With a little more than half of Americans trying to lose weight, you probably know someone who is trying or has. It is a great
accomplishment for someone to fulfill & you should help them celebrate just like Melissa Joan Hart did...put them on a magazine cover! Have a mini photo shoot and then surprise them with fake magazine covers to show off their new body!
It would make a great instant gift or personalized birthday gift when downloaded to your computer and printed off instantly at your convenience. You can also choose to have us print & frame it for you on our heavy glossy photo paper.
They will be thrilled to be able to receive such a wonderful gift to help celebrate their hard work and great accomplishment! Start your
personalized magazine cover with YourCover!

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!
After working throughout the day, coming home to a dirty house, and then having to make
dinner, you remember it's your brother's birthday coming up and you haven't gotten him anything.
Shoot, another "I don't wanna" on your forever growing to-do list. What do you do? Well, if you're like me, struggling to make rent, and have a spoiled brother that has everything (literally) then the
best birthday gift ideas are ones that come from the heart.
You really can't go wrong with a
personalized birthday gift, one that says, "You're the greatest little bro ever!" or "Thanks for not telling mom I over-watered her flowers" or "Bro and Sis Team up for the best karaoke duet!!"
I mean let's face it, getting
birthday gifts for guys can be a challenge, and no one needs a challenge when they're already EXTREMELY BUSY. If you want to get a gift that really makes a statement, get personal and make a magazine cover with YOUR picture and YOUR headlines. It's so fun and easy and it will mean more than any other gift.
The best thing about a gift like this? You don't need to drive all over town to find the store, wait in line, or worry about exchanges. Everyone loves getting a gift with a personal touch. Even big tough guys like my little brother...
I tried something new last week, something I wasn't sure I was going to like, but it was actually a lot of fun!!
FISHING... it was a little boring at first, but as soon as we caught our first fish, it was such a rush.
That made me think of all of our customers who have created a
custom magazine cover with the "star" person and their big catch!
I never understood why people would take such pride in their catches, but after a long day of fishing and only catching little bait fish, I got the point right away.
If you or someone you know likes to fish, you probably have a great picture of them holding their great catch.
Fake magazine covers would make the perfect gift for that fisherman in your life whether it be a birthday, anniversary, or a gag gift! It's fun, it's inexpensive, and it's personal! And...you really can't beat an
instant gift that delivers instant smiles...
My stepmom is turning the big 4-0 soon! It would be easy to get her the 'The Year You Were Born -1970,' book and have her chuckle at the following:
President: Richard Nixon
Vice President: Spiro Agnew
Population: 205,052,174
Life Expectancy: 70.8 years
Unemployment: 3.5%
Cost of a new home: $26,600
Median Household Income: $8,734
Cost of a 1st class stamp: $.06
Cost of a gallon of regular gas: $.36
Yeah she'll get a kick out of it when she flips through the pages the first time, but then it will just sit on her bookshelf and collect dust for another 40 years!
Searching to find the
best birthday gift ideas for Lisa was fun, but I wanted to do a
personalized birthday gift and that made it more difficult with all of the personalized gifts available out there. However,
fake magazine covers from YourCover personalized magazine covers made my decision easy.
I was able to turn her into a magazine cover star! I even created a back cover with all of statistics of the 1970's that would appear in the book! This
personalized birthday gift will showcase much better on a desk or bookshelf than the book would, in its beautiful acrylic frame.
I think I might just make one for my dad's birthday ;0)
I used to always save things until the last minute. I have learned my lesson with not completing projects on their given due date, but unfortunately...my brother has not. It's his 1st anniversary tomorrow and he brought to my attention
last night that he had not gotten anything for his wife and he wanted my help. Why I agreed...I don't know.
He wanted it to be a
romantic gift idea, creative and of course, since it was so late already it had to be an
instant gift that was available immediately. I worked my magic to help him create several
fake magazine covers of him and his sweety. He picked the one he liked best and ordered the front cover download for just $12.95. He then downloaded it to his computer instantaneously and printed it off at at a local photo shop and it came out
BEAUTIFULLY! He popped it into a pretty frame and voila - the perfect 1st anniversary gift!
My brother Craig and his wife Nicole will enjoy their 1st anniversary gift now and for years to come with this
personalized magazine cover from YourCover.
My grandparents will be closing on a house in Florida within the next month. This is not only exciting for them, but for me as well. Why am I excited you ask? Maybe it's because they are exactly 20 minutes due south of Disney World!!!!!!!!
Yes, at 24 years old, the magic of Magic Kingdom still excites me. When I see Cinderella's castle or Mickey and Minnie's house, I can't help but grin from ear to ear. So when I learned that my grandparents were buying a house not too far away from Mickey & Minnie's digs, I knew I had to search throught some
custom gift ideas to celebrate their new home.
Trying to find a
gift for grandparents was a little difficult...they have everything imagineable! The obvious was right in front of me when I realized they were purchasing a home, so I had a picture of their house sent to me and turned it into a
personalized gift idea as a personalized magazine cover.
This
unique personalized gift is a perfect
gift for grandparents to display anywhere and it will look great in their new home! Hopefully they will LOVE it and take me to Disney ;0)
If you are looking for a fun, unique sweet 16 gift for your friend, and you don't have a lot of money, and you want to make it a group gift from a bunch of your friends - we have a great idea for you. Using the online design tool at YourCover.com you can create a

Celebrating your dog's birthday is like celebrating your own. It has to be celebrated with a doggy cake, a birthday hat and a gift or two. Hopefully you don't feed them cake and gift them gifts everyday, otherwise this wouldn't be a special day for them...it would be just like any other day.
Our four-legged friend Rufus here, had is 5th Birthday celebration yesterday and was SO EXCITED to be able to pick out his own doggy treat and a new doggy toy. Can't you tell how overwhelmed with excitement he is?! This picture is priceless and to use it for great
picture gift ideas, I decided to customize a
personalized magazine cover from YourCover.
Rufus' owner will be THRILLED when she finds out I made this for her. This
fake magazine covers for her pet is the
best birthday gift idea for not just Rufus, but for her too! It will look perfect on her desk at work so she can see Rufus all day long =]
Living in the Northeast there is much to enjoy, especially during the summer. I'm not much of a winter person, so skiing isn't for me, but once the sun comes out, so do the boats, beach chairs and sun tan lotion!
Clam bakes, pool and lake side parties, and BBQ's take up most of our summer activities. For those who have summer birthdays [like me!], it adds an additional helping to your summer fun!
For those summer birthdays that are approaching, why not create something that fully represents them? The beach! Sail boats! The ocean! All things summer!
I made one for my cousin Andrew for his birthday coming up next week. Finding
birthday gifts for guys can be so hard but I know that he LOVES to sail, so I customized a
fake magazine cover all about him and sailing for his 30th birthday gift!
YourCover
personalized magazine covers makes it easy to create. He's going to LOVE this, especially since this is one of his favorite spots on Martha's Vineyard that I turned into a
picture gift idea for him. Hopefully after seeing this he'll get over the fact that he's turning 30!
Every year, it is a last minute decision on deciding what our family will be doing for the 4th. The decision between our short drive to our cousin's house on the beach or waking up at the crack of dawn to beat traffic to get to a Long Island beach [our CT beaches are not very pretty], will be made Saturday night on the 3rd.
Celebrating the 4th is a blast of course, but my birthday is on the 3rd, which makes it double the fun! You would think with all of the planning and 4th of July BBQ hysteria, I would have experienced an episode like Samantha did in Sixteen Candles, where my parents completely forget my birthday. I think I've done a great job to remind them enough anyway ;0)
To remind them this year, it would be awesome to see myself on a magazine. That obviously is not happening anytime soon, but creating fake magazine covers can! YourCover personalized magazine covers turns any photo of your choice into a personalized photo gift idea for all occasions...in this case a birthday! Over the years I have handed over some of the best birthday gift ideas to my parents for hints on what I'd like, but this one takes the cake!
Have you've heard about P. Diddy getting his sixteen year old son a brand new silver Maybach (valued at $360,000)? Some people are criticizing this extravagant gift for a sixteen year old, but I think P. Diddy is right when he defends himself saying he doesn't have to answer to anyone about how to raise his kids, after all, we don't know how he raises his kids anyway.
My mom always said that one of the joys in her life was that she works so hard so that she can provide for my brother and me. Okay so a car is out of the question, but I'm sure if she had the income like P. Diddy, that Maybach would be in my driveway too... or maybe a baby pink Corvette...
Let's stop worrying about all of the things we don't have in life and start cherishing all the great things we do have. For all those who don't have Diddy's cash flow (and that's most of us) don't worry, we can still party like rock stars! A
photo magazine cover is the perfect
sweet 16 gift for a guy and a girl.
Let them know how much you love them and how much they mean to you. Trust me, their friends will get a kick out of it and they'll be jealous that they're not starring on the front of their own
custom magazine cover.
Summer has officially arrived! School is out and the hot weather is in! Hopefully you are able to get away this summer to enjoy a vacation. With the normal day-to-day activities that life can bring, you sure wonder how you ever lasted the whole school year!
A couple of years ago friends of ours took a trip to Australia! I was very jealous because this is my DREAM vacation and I wanted to jump in their luggage, but I ended up just drooling over their pictures when they got back.
Anyway...their pictures were amazing! I especially loved this one of their daughter snorkeling. I told them of YourCover
personalized magazine covers and what an easy and fun job it is to create your own
fake magazine cover. You can turn your vacation photo into a
unique photo gift idea or a great
unique gift for mom to display at home or at work.
However you end up using it, it's a great way to remember that moment and in this case, an extrememly memorable vacation.
It was not too long ago that my brother and I were sitting on the floor of our parents' den on Christmas morning playing with the gifts that Santa just brought us. We had drawn a line down the middle of the carpet and if either one of us crossed it, we had to hand over one of our gifts to the other to play with. Why? I don't know. Why would he want to play with my Malibu Barbie Beach House and I his PowerRangers?
Recalling the list of all of our hysterical and roller coster moments together [I pulled his arm out of his socket once], it sure does make me ask myself, "Where does the time go?" He's graduating on Saturday and I would love to be able to somehow document every moment of all the fun times we've shared.
I was thrilled to find out that I could do that with YourCover personalized magazine covers! He had already had a picture taken in his cap and gown, and I used that for this wonderful picture gift idea. Topped with some great headlines to make this fake magazine cover come to life, my brother Scott is going to fall to the floor when he sees this! There is no better way for him to remember such a milestone in his life, than to have a personalized magazine cover.
OHHHHHH BABY! It's a special day when that little one arrives in your arms. They are the shining star of your life and you want to show them off as much as you can...as soon as you get out of the hospital anyway!
I know just like Emma here, my parents took me to a photographer for my first photo session. I was the first born, so not only did they want as many pictures as possible, but the grandparents were anxious for there own copies too.
Don't just give a wallet of your newborn to everyone, spice it up! A
personalized magazine cover of your newborn will be something that everyone can remember. Your little peanut will sure to be a shining star front and center on their own
fake magazine cover. It will make a
unique gift for mom and
personalized photo gift ideas for the whole family! Stop by YourCover and create your baby magazine cover now!

"I've been begging my grandkids to stand still for pictures to no avail. Once I told them - especially the girls! - that I was considering sending their pictures to a magazine to use on their cover, they were suddenly VERY cooperative, and I now have great pix. INCLUDING the pictures of them opening their very own, personalized, birthday Magazine Covers! This will now be an annual event - I couldn't be happier!"
