Unique Gifts & Clever Ideas to Give Someone the Star Treatment and Make Them Feel Like a Celebrity!
Welcome to my lens, and thank you for visiting! Day in and day out, my priority is to come up with different ideas and unique ways to help people feel special, honored and loved. Maybe you know someone who deserves a little star treament. To come up with ideas on your own be can be somewhat challenging, yes? So I am here to help!
What do you do, what can you give, to show them how great you think they are? There are many ways to make a person feel special, so I will be covering certain ideas on how you make someone feel like a real celebrity!
Celebrities are regular people like you and me but they sure get treated differently. They have paparazzi taking their picture at the market; their own makeup artist, fashion stylist and personal assistant; they walk the red carpet in free designer outfits; they are featured on magazine covers and in articles and ads; and don't forget ladies...those HUGE sunglasses! Sounds pretty nice huh? What if I told you that ANYONE could live the life of a celebrity? Okay. Maybe not your WHOLE life, but for just a day.
Perhaps you or someone you care about is celebrating their birthday, anniversary, Sweet 16, or maybe you just want to treat them like a star for a day. Whatever it is that you have in mind, here are several ideas to keep while you are planning that special celebrity event!
"I always thought I should be treated like a star." -Madonna
Put Them On A Magazine Cover
Personalized Magazine Covers: there is one major difference between a celebrity and an Average Joe. THEY ARE ON MAGAZINES! Visit www.YourCover.com to personalize your own magazine cover! It's really easy. Just open a free account, upload your photos, and use the free design system to make every headline be specifically about the person you are trying to impress. The site offers suggestions of things to say (in case you get a case of writer's block), plus you can change the fonts and colors. It also can be used as a party favor, invitation or table centerpiece!YourCover Personalized Magazine Covers
Give Them an "Oscar" or Hollywood Walk of Fame Star
Maybe you've got the Best Mother or Best Boyfriend -so give them their very own Oscar statuette declaring their #1 status to all the world. Another fun idea is a personalized Hollywood Walk of Fame star. The one you love will feel like a true celebrity! Another fun idea: Pour some fresh concrete in the driveway and have them sign their name (just kidding!!).You can Google these items but below is a link to one firm who has all these items (no concrete though) plus lots of other fun "Hollywood" themed items.

Roll Out The Red Carpet
The Red Carpet: if you are holding an event for someone, this would be one of the key items to make them feel like a celebrity. "Red shows a meaning of great authority, a warm style of welcome and a preferred choice to enlighten and create an added sense of importance to an honored guest." What better way to make them feel important than to roll out that red carpet for them!Below is a link to a great site (www.RedCarpetRunway) where you can purchase your a red carpet for your "celebrity".

Take a Ride in a Limousine!
Hire a limousine for an hour or a day to really give someone the star treatment. Even if you are just picking them up for lunch at McDonald's or the local diner - riding in a big stretch limo will show the world that a real celebrity must be behind those tinted windows!Below is one suggestion for a limo company, but just Google limousine with your zip code and local firms should appear in the search listing.

Give Them Their Own Life-Size Cardboard Cut-Outs
A life-size cardboard version of your loved one is a fun way to get them feeling like a moviestar! Upload one or more favorite photos of them, and have it transformed into a life-size cardboard silhouette! Place it at the venue where you are holding your event or just put it somewhere in the house! Many celebrities have their own pictures, posters, and memorabilia from movies they have produced. So why can't you? Make-up & Hair - A Special Personalized Make-Over
Make-up & Hair: there is no way your celebrant will step onto the red carpet without looking good! Treat them to a stylish haircut or updo at a local salon or you can even hire a stylist to come to your house just like the real celebrities. Flawless skin, bright eyes and shiny lips - beautifully applied make-up can really make you shine. Take them to get their make-up professionally done or have the make-up artist make a house call. Gorgeous! What to Wear? A Personal Stylist or Shopper for Guidance!
What's next? Your own personal stylist! Give your loved one, family member or friend a completely new look! You can hire your own stylist on an hourly or daily basis(imagine that!). Or you and a bunch of friends can get together and do it for him or her! Many large department stores also offer a free personal shopping service. This would be a great hit for a man or a woman to get them looking absolutely fabulous! Flying High In Your Private Jet
Like most stars, you too can have your own personal jet! You might not have 1 million dollars lying around, but if you do...GREAT! If not, you can rent a personal jet ride for the day. Fly the one you love to a surprise location for a few hours or for a nice weekend celebration! It can be a bit pricey but will certainly make your favorite "star" feel extra-special. Step Out in Style at a Movie Premiere
I personally have never been to a movie premier, but I don't think anything can top seeing a movie surrounded by bunch of celebrities eating popcorn! Getting tickets to a movie premiere might be somewhat difficult, so if you have connections, use them! If you don't, you can always try your luck at winning them on the radio. If you end up getting lucky, you can use this as part of the special star treatment you have been planning. Favorite Female Celebrity
