Look all around you. Colorful and playful images and patterns bounce around us all the time.  From regal plaids and cabaña stripes to leopard prints and bandanna paisleys. Vivid colors and bold shapes can help you define a unique “look” for your one-of-a- kind piece.

You might also look to favorite people and hobbies and places as your inspiration for a commemorative gift.  Have a friend who plays the piano or travels frequently to Paris?  What about your co-worker who is obsessed with Barbie?  Maybe your daughter always manages to make you proud?  How about giving someone a present “just because”? Tickle them with a souvenir that celebrates their favorite things.
