We search high and low for top recommendations on the best, most innovative, and most creatively unique gifts and if you don't know UStar, you should put them high on your list for great gift giving ideas! Their novels are truly ideal for those Mr. and Ms. Impossible to Shop for people you know, because you can totally personalize stories. The latest edition to our personalization with UStar is the beloved classic: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. We have never seen anything like this and we wonder why no one has thought of it before?! The best gift ever, U Star Novels let you design the names and traits of the characters. Everyone loves Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion and you can name them all after your best buddies. You can even name Toto after your favorite pooch. Best of all, you can name the Wicked Witch after your most hated boss, or whoever the villain is in your life! You fill out everything online, and the paperback book unique to your liking shows up on your doorstep. Peachy received a customised first edition. Yes, customised is with an S here, not a Z because we are respecting the fact that this is an English, not American, company.

You have a chance to dedicate it, and the whole idea of this personalised (see, another s not a z) is genius. Whom You Know Highly Recommends U Star novels!

Previously, we recommended Peter Pan by U Star:

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
