3. For the celeb-obsessed: Cameo Video Message

We recently tried out the service and loved how easy it was to navigate the site and get your video message, but found that it's easier to search a category (like say "The Bachelor") than for a specific celebrity. Fees vary by person and can go up to $2,500, but the excitement on your giftee’s face will be priceless.
