Who hasn't heard The Police wail "Roxanne," or grooved to "My Sharona" or "Bobby McGee"? You can probably come up with a few examples that are a bit more recent.

These are clever pieces of sports memorabilia literally carved from the wooden seats salvaged from sports stadiums during remodeling or demolition.

Each pen is one of a kind, measuring 5.5 inches long by a half-inch in diameter, and comes in a cool presentation case with a certificate of authenticity. The makers have engraved the origin info right in the wood.

First off, what does it mean? How can art be personalized? Simple enough: it can be of things that appeal specifically to the person who receives it: in this case, your gift recipient.

Many might consider this to be art of a narcissistic nature, expressing images of the gift recipient him- or herself. And indeed, personalized art can take this form, though it doesn't have to. It can be art depicting their children, their family, their pets, or places they love... and the variety of formats available can be surprising.

Let's take a look at a few.

If you're familiar with video games, you probably already know that Legos have been a craze for a lot of years. And even if you don't play video games, you probably know about the blocks, if nothing else -- you may even have fond memories of constructing endless towers yourself.

But these days, Lego has expanded far beyond building blocks. There are lots of new Lego board games that bring a new dimension to traditional board game experiences and kids and adults alike find them fun and challenging.

It's funny, though, how the simplest things catch on. Pillow Pets are cute, cuddly, and wonderful toys, but the concept is deceptively dull. They don't light up, talk, glow, or walk. Nonetheless, kids everywhere have gone nuts over these cuddly creatures.

Pillow Pets, which actually go by the brand name My Pillow Pets, have achieved overnight popularity, so if you're stuck for a Christmas gift this holiday season, there aren't many kids who wouldn't welcome their very own pillow pet.
