When a special occasion arises, I make it my mission to find a Personalized Gift. I’m always looking for the perfect gift, and personalization shows that thought went into my shopping and I didn’t grab any old thing off the shelf.

Letter Perspectives offers the best personalized gifts by way of photography of items resembling letters assembled to spell special name or meaningful word. What a great gift to design in a new baby’s name, or the title or a new graduate, or even just a cool piece depicting your family name for an entryway.

The art is really reasonably priced, too. My last name, matted and framed, is only $160!

So, my credit card information was stolen today, which is a pretty awesome way to start your day. An international charge for a gaming site hit my checking account via PayPal, with no record of the transaction on my PayPal log.

Both PayPal and Chase finally isolated the transaction, reissued my debit cards, and are disputing the charges on my behalf. Neither one will refund the money immediately, which is infuriating because $90 came straight out of my checking account.

It’s amazing that neither company flagged my account activity as fradulant considering I live in Chicago and the initial transaction was in Euros.

A good portion of bloggers and webmasters are looking for ways to monetize their sites. There’s paid reviews, banner and sidebar ads, and passive money makers, like affiliate marketing.

The newest surge in affiliate marketing is Dating Affiliate Cash. With the ever rising number of divorcees and singles, many are looking to find love online, and dating affiliate programs can be real money makers, especially when niche website and niche dating sites team up.

Singles Cash is the newest affiliate website, making it easy for webmasters to become affiliates and integrate niche dating sites with their websites. This July, affiliates earn $75 just for registering, plus cash for every referral.

According to Jared Remembered, Jared Fogel, “The Subway Guy” died yesterday from complications related to his 1998 gastric bypass surgery. Just last week, Subway celebrated Jared’s 10 year weight-loss anniversary.

Take this with a grain of salt, because this rumor has circulated before. If he’s not dead, how absolutely bizarre to be him and have a website dedicated to your passing!

I don’t know how this woman ever got the idea that this would work, because it never crossed my mind, but it’s quite clever and looks like a lot of fun! Maybe I’ll try it out on my next trip to the mall!
