    Gifts for Grads: Frame the Memories!

    Looking for a perfect gift for the graduate in your life? Nothing could be more personal than framing a favorite photo as a gift, especially for high school grads headed off to college. I'm sure you agree - taking the time to print and frame a digital picture can take some serious effort, and is something that often is put at the bottom of the to-do list. That's why I love this photo collage frame from personalizationmall.com: you can pick any one-line message and it is lasered into a matboard. Just print a few photos for the back! Tip: it looks even cuter when you let one photo cut across two letters. For something a little simpler for the green-loving grad, what about the Mariposa recycled aluminum frame? It's glamorous and eco-friendly! Check out my slide show for other great photo frame gifts for grads!

From a personalized grilling apron for the dad who can be found flipping burgers all summer long, to a monogrammed leather folder for the professional papa, there are loads of creative gifts for any dads' interests that can be branded with a name or message for that extra dash of sentiment and thoughtfulness.

    My friend Amy is afraid of miniature things. To say the least, she would be terrified if I sent her a letter from Leafcutter Designs. The San Francisco-based "World's Smallest Postal Service" creates 120 word messages on teeny tiny 1x1.5 inch stationary and sends it off to the address of your choice! Your letter arrives in a tiny envelope, stamped and addressed to your recipient, which is wax-sealed with your initial. It arrives with a small folding magnifying glass so your lucky recipient will actually be able to read your message. These tiny letters are a very special gift and a perfect touch for a special thank you note, birthday card, or a "just because" note. And at just eight dollars, the price is right for such a sentimental gift!


    Price: $8-10

    Let me guess - you've been single for so many years that you sort of just forgot that hell has frozen over and pigs have flown and you actually have a sweetheart to shop for this Valentine's Day! And since you failed to remember until just now that February 14th (as in tomorrow) isn't just another day on the calendar this time around (an honest mistake), you're pretty much just planning to show up empty-handed and present-less on the big night with the assumption that your sympathetic sweetie will "understand." Lucky for you, unless your honey came up with the genius idea to hand-make your gifts this year (and in turn has set you both up for a Chandler-and-Monica style hand-puppet fiasco), this little problem of yours can easily be solved with a super-quick dash to your nearest Walgreens or Target. It may sound desperate, but let's get real - you are desperate, and unless you feel like committing sex-life suicide on the supposedly most romantic day of the year, we suggest you get off the chair and get your hiney hoppin' to the nearest makeshift gift shop - pronto! From Valentine's-inspired collectibles and retro candy gift sets to discounted perfume and cologne, these last-minute gifts may not be the smoothest of souvenirs, but you're just going to have to use that forgetful noggin of yours and figure out how to make it work! After all, you've always been complimented on your power of persuasion, and if there's ever been a time for your BS-ing skills to save your behind, it's now! Check out the slideshow for more last-minute gift ideas that you can hopefully salvage with a little dash of faux sentiment - good luck!
