Personalized Gift Cards

So I thought of a really cool idea the other day...and I think that this might finally be an idea that has NOT been invented yet. It seems like every time I think of a cool idea, it has already been invented. But this time I think I may have actually come up with an original idea.
Okay. So you know how there are personalized credit cards out there now? The ones where you can have one of your own pictures as the background? Well, I was thinking that there should be such a thing as a personalized gift card. Somehow (whether it be online or at a kiosk) there should be a way to make your own personal gift card. A gift card with a hand chosen picture on the front and maybe even a short message. That way when you give the card to a friend it will seem more like an actual gift instead of just a card with money on it. It will show that you care enough to put some time into their gift instead of just quickly picking out some random, pre-printed card. I don't know how easy it would be to create such a thing....but it sure would be cool.
Oh. And if you know of a place where you can create your own personalized gift card, please let me know.

That is a sweet idea! I was just talking to my sister about how gift cards aren't personal. I like giving something with meaning to it. I have not heard of a personalized gift card yet. You should start a company! =]

I predict that before Christmas of 2009, the personalized gift card will be HOT.

(Just remember, y'all heard about the idea first on Christi's blog.)
