Anyone can run into a random store at the last minute and buy a generic, mass-produced candle for a present. However, those aren't the gifts you remember; they're the ones that linger on shelves, gathering dust. Today I've put together a collection of custom, personalized gift ideas that will show you really thought about the person in question. (Mom, perhaps? Mother's Day is a'comin'!) Here are some of my favorites.
