Customizing a gift is a great example of exercising forethought, organization, and care when it comes to picking a gift for a loved one. It also adds a special meaning and sentimental value to the ordinary, while also providing this wrapped in a practical, useful product. The epitome of this can be found in customizing an electronic-protecting case for an iPhone, tablet, or laptop. Courtesy of the brand Caseable, I was able to test out my design skills and play around for a few hours with a bevy of fonts, colors, text, and add-ons in creating a unique iPad sleeve.

The interface was so easy to use that I switched colors and uploaded photos from my iPhoto albums with a swift click, that instantly showed me what the additions looked like from a variety of angles (see above)

Everything from runway photos to panarama view formatted to show up beautifully on the product, and I settled on a gorgeous photo I had taken of PNC Park in Pittsburgh from a Pirates game this past July. I added a set of handles at no additional charge. The total ended up at about $70, with the Caseable custom sleeve arriving in two weeks. Gift one to yourself to you that hard-to-please person on your list; use a memorable photo or their favorite colors and initials to give it a unique touch that is sure to make this holiday season an unforgettable one.
