Father of the Year Personalized Magazine Cover

(10 reviews)
Want to let the whole world know who’s Father of the Year? Now’s your chance to be a journalist – or better yet, your kid’s chance. This is a great gift for the computer-savvy youngster (which is probably any child over 5) to create.

Simply upload a favorite photo and you can design the perfect magazine cover. Loads of choices include date of issue, a 3 line message, and 12 different font colors. The magazine cover looks like a frame, but it’s actually an 8 x 10″ wall plaque.

The whole process is made incredibly easy with Personalization Mall’s handy design tool. Don’t have a perfect picture? No problem, you can crop and resize the photo to get rid of the blurry background or anything you don’t want in your magazine cover. (Helpful hint – once you’ve cropped your picture to the size you want, be sure to hit the “CROP PHOTO” button before you hit the “NEXT” button).

You’ll have a chance to preview EXACTLY what your magazine cover will look like before ordering, so make sure you don’t write over anyone’s face if possible.

New Dad Gifts – Five Fabulous Finds for the New Dad

Camden Lawson — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 16:14:54 +0000

Looking for a great gift for a new dad? We all know exactly what all new dads want – SLEEP!

Unfortunately, you probably can’t give him that – it’s against gift-giving rules to give earplugs or sleeping pills as a present.

But I have found 5 fabulous gifts that most new dads will like:

Matching Father-Child Shirts

I’m sure the new baby has tons of adorable clothes, and is used to comments about how adorable he/she is. Get ready for even more comments when Dad and baby wear personalized matching father-child shirts!

Whether Dad’s a rocker, bowler, fisherman, golfer, or sports fan, there’s a matching father-child shirt set to fit his interests.

Matching shirts start at under $15.

Daddy Guitar Pick Necklace

He can still be cool even though he’s become a father with this personalized guitar pick necklace from our selection of Dad dog tags.

Although this photo says “Daddy You Rock”, you can choose your own message.

Perfect for any rock star dad! $65 at BlissLiving.

Personalized Dad Frames

You can never have too many pictures of the first-born. (And you can be sure that any later children will remind you of how many more pictures you have of the first child than you do of them!)

Give the new Dad a handsome way to display his favorite picture with a personalized Dad frame.

Dad frames start at under $25.

Dad Cufflinks

Even though he has to go to work, the new dad’s thoughts are never far from his new little one.

With Dad cufflinks, you can give him a sophisticated way to show off his new status.

Adorable cufflinks for Dads start at under $25.

Daddy Diaper Bags

Every dad needs a place to carry all the stuff that babies and little kids need. But the new dad doesn’t want a girly diaper bag – he wants a manly way to tote the bottles, changes of clothing, snacks, toys, and other necessities.

A Dad diaper bag is the perfect solution. All the storage any parent needs, but with a masculine flair that the new dad will appreciate.

Who knows? Maybe he’ll even volunteer to change diapers!

First Father’s Day Ecard

Now the new Dad can star in his own rap video. Just add a photo to any of the Funny eCards at JibJab and enjoy the laughs!

Your Turn

What are your ideas for First Father’s Day gifts? I’d love to hear from you – please leave a comment and let me know how you would celebrate a First Father’s Day. Thank you!

Braille Dog Tag Pendant – Feel the LOVE

Camden Lawson — Thu, 12 May 2011 17:03:09 +0000

Dog tag pendants are the hottest trend in men’s jewelry right now. There are so many options that it’s hard to make a choice!

This is one of my favorite dog tag pendants, because it sends a secret message of love that you can actually feel. The word “LOVE” is spelled out in Braille letters with tiny, almost-colorless diamonds. You can run your fingers over the word “LOVE” any time you want to be reminded of how special you are!

You can personalize the Braille dog tag pendant with up to 13 letters. Shimmer and Stone also has Braille dog tag pendants with “FAITH” or “PEACE” on them. Prices start at around $465 for diamond Braille men’s necklaces.

Perfect romantic gift for Father’s Day, birthday, anniversary, or Valentine’s day.

Make It a “WOW” Gift

Take the Braille theme a little further by writing a message in Braille on your gift card. You can just print a message in Braille on a standard greeting card (here is a copy of the alphabet). If you want to actually put raised dots on the card, Zakka Life has a fairly easy method that uses brads.

Quotes for Your Card

Looking for the perfect words to express your love, but can’t think of them? Here are some ideas:

“You will feel my love when we are apart,
knowing that nothing will change my heart” – from Love Poems and Quotes.
“There ain’t nothin’ that I wouldn’t do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy, make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love.” – from Make You Feel My Love lyrics by Bob Dylan.
Add a “Love is Blind” quote to your card or ecard – this site is a good resource.

Make a Braille Cake

Make or buy a favorite cake. Use edible silver balls, red hots, or mini M&Ms to spell out a message in Braille.

Perfect Song for Braille Dog Tag Pendant

Bob Dylan wrote the perfect song – Make You Feel My Love (read the lyrics), and it’s been recorded by Garth Brooks and other artists. Here’s a great video from Adele:

Your Turn

If you have any links to Braille jewelry, or other ideas for quotes, decorations, or ways to make this a WOW! gift, I’d love to hear from you!

Fun Food To Serve

What’s a margarita without Mexican food, other than a recipe for a hangover? Try some of these spicy recipes:

Watch Boxes: How to Choose a Watch Box

Camden Lawson — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:24:19 +0000

Watch boxes are the perfect gift for the watch collector or anyone man who could use a quality storage area for his jewelry and accessories. But with so many watch boxes on the market, how can you choose the right one? This quick guide will help you pick just the perfect storage case.

Number of Watches

The number of watches that the recipient has is probably the biggest factor in selecting the right watch box. For the serious collector, watch boxes are available that hold up to 24 watches. A more casual collector might prefer the more common 5 or 6 watch box holder.

Watch Box Material

Watch boxes come in many different materials. The least expensive ones are made of faux-leather. If you can afford it, I’d recommend going with either a leather or a wood watch box – the material is just nicer and the boxes are of better quality. You’ll find a huge choice in wood watch boxes, including burlwood oak, mahogony, cherry, teakwood, maple and more. Consider what wood furnishings are already in the bedroom; you’ll probably want to choose a wood to match.

See-through or Closed Top

An organized watch collector will probably enjoy viewing his watches through a glass top. However, the glass tops are a bit more difficult to clean. If the owner is going to store other accessories such as rings, necklaces, and bracelets in the box, you may want to consider a closed top box.

Personalized Watch Boxes

Many, but not all, watch boxes can be personalized to create an heirloom. See-through watch boxes can frequently have intials or a name monogrammed on the top. Some wooden boxes have an option to add a plaque. When available, personalization is a great touch that crafts a truly unique gift.

Watch Boxes Cost

Costs vary considerably, depending on the size and materials used. Faux-leather watch boxes can be found for under $40. Larger boxes may run over $300.

Watch boxes are perfect gifts for any watch collector. Paying attention to these points will help you choose the best watch box for any occasion.

Dopp Kits: The 14 Essentials

Although every man has different requirements when travelling, here are a few standard items that should be included in most guy’s travel bag:

Nail clippers
Deodorant
Toothbrush and toothpaste

Deodorant
Band-aids
Contact supplies (don’t forget an extra pair of contact lenses)
