Custom Playing Cards
What it is: A deck of standard playing cards, with your photo printed on the backs.
Why we love it: We've spoken before about the parental joy of putting your kid's face on absolutely everything. It's a guilty pleasure of moms, dads, proud pet owners and others, and we thoroughly support it. By all means, show off those cute little mugs at any opportunity. We do, however, get a little tired of all the mugs and t-shirts, so we're always happy when we run across a more unique item that you can have imprinted with your own personal image. Enter custom photo playing cards, our most recent discovery in the world of things you can print your picture on. We like them for several reasons, not the least of which being that they have a use other than being decorative. They're also one of a small number of imprintable ephemera that are appealing to the manly set. They make a great gift for poker buddies and would-be card sharks, printed perhaps, with a shot of their game night pals, or their faithful hound dog, perhaps their pick-up truck (or even the kids, because many a manly man is quite a softie for his offspring). So before they run off to Vegas to fulfill their dreams of becoming a professional gambler, give them a little something to remind them of all they'd miss if they did.
Who we'd give it to: Poker and bridge players, gamblers and grifters, proud parents.
Where to get it: From Personalization Mall for a custom $28.95
