I have always been a fan of Psych. Believe me – it doesn’t end with just looking at Psych pictures on the internet and downloading tons of their wallpaper for my laptop. No, it takes more than that. And it takes more than knowing that the show is about a fake psychic who does detective services for the police department. Believe me, that don’t even cross the border between ho-hum and passive fan obsession. Being a true and genuine fan means knowing the characters by heart, and appreciating their uniqueness and contribution to the show. And believe me; the show really has a lot of quirky people that keeps it entertaining and fun. Here are some characters that make Psych a really good TV series to watch:

Shawn “Shawn” Spencer (played by James Roday). Yes, he’s the fake psychic who works with the Santa Barbara Police Department. And yes, those uber policemen who are expected to use their brains actually believe the dude is a true psychic (except for Lassie). However weird and stupid the badge wearers have become, it is still admirable how Roday gives justice to Shawn Spencer’s character. Not only does he uses subtle finesse in delivering his comic lines, but his tremendous charm actually makes Shawn Spencer look like he can get away with anything — and usually, he does.

Burton “Gus” Guster (played by Dule Hill). Yes, he’s the lovable sidekick of Shawn. What would the show be without the light-hearted banterings between the best of friends, right? Dule adds a freshness to his character, and his facial expressions really make the chemistry between Shaw and Guster really shine. Aside from that, I’ve noticed that Dule has tremendously proportionate facial features. So what does it have to do with his character? Nothing — I just wanted to point out that he really looks good on television.

Henry Spencer (played by Corbin Bernsen). Of course, there should be someone serious to ground Shawn, right? Well, enter “Daddy” Spencer. The strict, perfectionist, straight-laced father of Shawn is really a pain in the butt, and Corbin really plays his character convincingly well. What’s more, you get to see a lot of Hawaiian-looking shirts that looked like it came from a different planet altogether.

Juliet O’ Hara (played by Maggie Lawson). She’s the pretty, Barbie doll – like police detective who is also the apple of Shawn’s eye. The two have an amazing chemistry on screen, and it shows up all the time. Another thing that Maggie’s Juliet does is that it lightens the atmosphere in the police department. In a building where testosterone can reach pivotal levels, Juliet’s character makes the show more feminine and light.

Carlton Lassiter (played by Tim Omundson). The proverbial grouch who thinks he is better than everyone else, Tim plays Carlton convincingly well. If his goal is to garner hate mails and profanities from Shawn’s fans, then Tim should get an Academy award for outstanding performance…for the rest of his life.

Karen Vick (played by Kirsten Nelson). She is the captain who believes in Shawn. It’s quite strange — aren’t these kinds supposed to be the smartest of the bunch? Well, anyway, Kirsten plays the “chief” quite well, although sometimes, her character is overpowered by Lassiter’s angst over everyone who looks like they can breathe on their own.

So, what does it take to be a Psych fan again? Aside from what I said earlier, there is one last important thing — and that is you watch all the shows religiously. Try watching it sometime. You might become a fan and collect Psych pictures and download their wallpaper just as I do. Don’t worry – your secret’s safe with me.

When it comes to buying presents for that special lady in your life, it’s worth remembering that women love beautiful gifts – pictures, images, photos, decorations – and if these happen to be personalised gifts which also bear her name – it’s all the better!

With this in mind, why not check out the fantastic range of gorgeous personalised gifts now available online.

Personalised picture prints
One of the newest ranges of high quality personalised gifts is picture prints – bearing the name of your choice! There’s a fantastic selection of high quality glossy print options, all available in A4 or extra-large in A3, covering a huge range of gorgeous images for that special lady – her name spelt out in stars over a winter scene, in clouds in a summer sky, on the Hollywood Hills or even embellishing her very own superstar dressing room. For little ladies too, there’s some really funky kids print options – for example, sweetie boxes, building blocks or spooky Halloween pumpkins… something for famous household names of all ages!

Diaries and calendars
Personalised gifts now also include calendars and diaries. These are high-quality items which will look extremely chic and eye-catching on the wall – particularly when fully personalised with her name! Each page of the diary or calendar bears a different themed photo, again spelling out her name in a variety of objects, and with a huge range of themes to choose from such as hot air balloons, fireworks, starry skies, chocolate cakes, gardens – and even shamelessly romantic options bearing roses and champagne. It’s also worth keeping your eye out for new innovations in personalised gifts – for example, notepads will soon be available – your chance to be ahead of the crowd!

Cards
Personalised gifts can also include cards, and you’ve now also got the chance of adding that special touch of her name on a fantastic range of glossy greetings cards too! Again, there’s a huge range of artistic images to pick from – her name spelt out in flowers, in a Mexican Wave in a stadium, on a hot air balloon, on a blackboard…even written in Christmas lights! All you need to do is provide her name when you choose the card, and your message, and the technical whizz kids will do the rest! Your card will be guaranteed to stand out – and prove to her that you didn’t simply pick this one up from the local garage!

Photo personalised gifts
You can also personalise the latest gift ranges with photos of your choice! Why not select a gorgeous snap of that special lady (be careful at this point – humourous photos may be best avoided on this occasion!) – and then opt to have it transferred onto a number of great presents – a cushion, a tote bag, a make-up bag – even a deck chair. Otherwise, prove to your special lady that she really is the boss of the house with her own photo embellished director’s chair! Perfect for watching Eastenders if nothing else! You could also demonstrate your artistic awareness with a personalised Warhol style print – this really is something different, a pop-art print bearing your very own muse’s image! Arriving in A3, and in the classic Warhol coloured-cell style, the lady in your life will finally be the star of a real work of art!

The quirky and unusual!
Why not go for something really quite different when picking your fabulous personalised gifts – for example, a special mug with the lady’s name spelt out in an exploding firework! Just remember to get one for yourself too, so you don’t feel left out during tea time! You could also give her a starry boost with the personalised Hollywood ‘walk of fame’ Star – authorised by the ‘star of fame’ foundation, who will register the lucky lady’s name on their official database and produce a glorious commemorative certificate in high glossy paper, ready to hang in a smart black frame. It will certainly add a touch of glamour in Madame’s own personal dressing room, as she prepares to meet her public! Or you could treat her to a personalised spoof magazine cover print, again with her name borne on the front of ‘chic’ magazine – perfect for young budding journalists or writers, this may just inspire them to dizzy heights!

So with such a glorious range of personalised gifts on offer, why not let your imagination run free and pick something truly special and personal for the ladies in your life – of all ages. They certainly won’t forget your thoughtful gift in a hurry!
