How can I add gifts, icons next to posts, etc.

[tonyswifey]

1. I've seen several forums where users can give gifts to one another, I'd think this would be a fun way to get members to participate more in the community how would I add this? Is it something extra you have to pay for to use?

2. Currently on my main VB screen next to all posts is the standard notepad icon. I want to change it to flowers, or something else. Where can I do this in my Main CSS? Is this an option I can do myself without buying a template, etc.

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction, still learning
