Designergifts.com is a new online store that is owned by onlinestores.com. It think they’re trying to get a feel as to how people respond to the items that they are selling as well as the look and feel of the site.
Personally I’m very happy with the way the site has been designed. The menu system is easy to navigate, there’s a good selection of categories and sub categories in the menu that will take you to the sections that you’re interested in with ease.
Product wise I’m also pleased with the selection. I’ve visited some so called “gift stores” before that only have maybe 20 items to choose from. Designer Gifts is nothing like the other stores that I’ve visited and quickly left. No, it’s got a huge selection of items. They have a Cheap gifts section but there’s nothing cheap about the gifts displayed there. The items appear to be of high quality and I’m fairly sure that if I were to go into a department store and find a similar item it would be more than twice the price.
Along with quality gift items you’ll also find an area that sells deluxe greeting cards. There are cards for all occasions in that area and the cards are very nice.
Being a guy, I spent more time looking at the Gift ideas for men portion of the site. There’s some great gift ideas to be found in that section. You can buy personalized gifts like army knives that could be engraved, flasks, Bath and body gift ideas for men, and even gift baskets for men. I actually really like the look of the gift basket that I’ve shown above and wouldn’t mind one bit if someone wanted to get that for me as a gift. Hey, my birthdays coming up a little more than a month you know.
They do have some high tech gift items like the MP4 players and Digital picture frames, but I suppose they could stand to get a few more gadgety types of items in their lineup. In fact, I really do think that that would be my only suggestion.
The prices seem very reasonable, and as I said earlier the items look to be well made and of high quality so I’d be happy to either give or receive a gift from Designer Gifts. How about you? Why don’t you go visit the store and see what you think.
I think it depends a lot on the guy. Engraved knives and such are fine, if he is that type of guy. Gear head may appreciate a replica of an old car or cool neon car sign instead. I have to agree that they need some more high tech items in their line up.
Ya, your right on that one Las Vegas Homes. I know an old buddy of mind who is really into cooking and he might find think that’s a great item. Otherwise, most guys are not into it unless, their are addicted to BBQ’ing. I honestly wish that I was a lot better but something like this could spur me into loftier recipes, just ask my wife.
I do like their replica cars, what guy wouldn’t! I not into cars all that much but some vintage ones do catch my attention. I guess it’s a guy thing.
Thanx for your input!
Keep on Jammin'(or cooking)
