I am heading out to Aruba in a few hours with two of my best girlfriends 🙂
I hate to break it to you, but there will be zero blogging done during my week of bliss … so I thought I’d post some links to friends’ site’s who I like and think you should check out! Enjoy.

The new Converse site lets you completely design your own personalized pair of Converse.
You can pick what color/pattern/design you want for even the littlest details on your shoes.
Definitely a gift no one else will have.

This site will create a caricature of anything you’d like – just send in some photos. They have a great gallery with different ideas people have done.
This is what I gave to my girlfriends for High School Graduation, it was a big hit.

I know I am biased since I work in the magazine industry, but I really do think magazines are a great gift, especially for the holidays.
They are normally less than $15, keep coming every month and you can pick out of 2,000 different titles to perfectly fit anyone’s age/taste/interests.
Some great Hearst options – Marie Claire For Her, Esquire for Him, and of course… Good Housekeeping For Mom.

So not only am I officially obsessed with the new show, Glee, but I am also obsessed with the soundtrack.
Send it to someone on Itunes if they need a little pick-me-up.
You can’t help but be in a good mood after listening to this.

” Element Bars” let’s you customize your own ingredients (or elements) of a personalized nutrition bar.
You can literally pick every ingredient you do or don’t want in your bar on their web site, they will make them, and send them on over to you. The site is really fun to play around with and even changes the nutrition label as you are adding ingredients so you know exactly what you are eating.
It’s even cuter that you can customize the labels.
It’s a perfect gift for a health conscious friend or family member.
This was a great idea sent in from a reader – keep ’em coming! We are always looking for new ideas.

I don’t think I would have any ideas left for my site if it weren’t for my favorite place in the digital world … etsy.
This artist will recreate any custom memory you would like with 1/4 inch miniature people. They are made to go in a planter box or a moss terranium if you happen to have any of those laying around.

For $30 you can give your biggest vice loving friend a full deck of cards and $520 worth of drinks at bars around Chicago.
Each card in the deck is redeemable for $10 at different chicago bars. And it’s a pretty good list of bars too -English, Pops, Motel Bar, Redmonds and Sheffield’s.
It’s a great deal and a really fun gift. Imagine all the drinking games you could come up with?
Sounds almost too good to be true. Check it out for yourself.
