Is your car vanitized? Soon mine will be. I’m joining the nine million Americans sporting a vanity license plate on their vehicle, thanks to an MBA graduation gift from my wife.
However, this gift isn’t the easiest surprise to pull off. Most state agencies require a driver registered to the vehicle to apply for the personalized plate. If you are not jointly registered with your gift recipient as the car owner, you still can present your suggestions, write a check to cover fees and complete any paperwork. Maybe a few states will follow the example of Texas, which offers a vanity license plate gift card.
Select the U.S. state for your giftee to learn more about applying for a personalized plate.

What’s your favorite Jelly Belly flavor? Very Cherry? Buttered Popcorn? Strawberry Cheesecake? If you haven’t heard of Jelly Belly, these are the uniquely flavored gourmet jelly beans that Ronald Reagan made famous. The 40th U.S. president kept jars of Jelly Bellys in the Oval Office and on Air Force One.
Starting this month at MyJellyBelly.com, you can personally mix the 50 official flavors. (Okay, 49 flavors — the spicy Jalapeño flavor overwhelms the other jelly beans). Select one flavor, two flavors or the standard 20-flavor mix. Then you customize the container with photos, logos and messages. Choose from several tins, including a bean-shaped tin, small bags, a 6-ounce glass candy jar, or an eight-ounce wooden barrel.
Give custom mixed and packaged Jelly Belly gifts as wedding favors, teacher gifts, graduation party favors or family reunion presents. Send Berry Blues to celebrate a newborn boy or pink Cotton Candy for a newborn girl. Jelly Belly ships your order within 48 hours to U.S. addresses.
