I really like the site Design-Her-Gals . It's great testimony to the power of personalization.  You create an illustration of yourself which you can use to personalize stationery, business cards, stickers and all other types of fun items. 

Creating your "gal" is cool. You start in a turban and bathrobe – a thinner version of your glam self.  Then, you can choose from a variety of hair styles and colors, eye colors, skin tones and mouths. The fun comes when you add your outfit of choice along with a prop to symbolize a hobby or obsession.

Also important is the fact that the site helps raise money for breast cancer and other women's health issues.  So, these people are not only clever, they're right-on.

My Design-Her-Gal has the maven's signature red hair and cool shoes. I wasn't quite sure what to put in her hand.   It was a toss up between a martini and a writing pad (although I am skilled at juggling both). 

I should add that I learned about Design-Her-Gals from a young woman who was interviewing with me. She got the job.
