A PHOTO MURAL

Imagine a larger-than-life tribute to your kid's greatest obsession. Pick a subject (Godzilla, say, or goldfish), take a digital photo and save it at high resolution, then e-mail it, along with your wall dimensions, to Murals Your Way. The company will send you a vinyl mural that goes up just like wallpaper. Thousands of ready-made images ($8 a square foot) are also available on its website.
