Out of this world gift idea

September 27, 2008 by Tricia

I’m sure by now you’ve heard that you can have new stars named after you or a loved one, even those discovering new species sometimes offer up the chance to have the new species named after yourself (ie Stephen Colbert now has a spider named after him!), but did you know that you can buy the moon too? Well .. a piece of it, I mean.

Uh huh .. I probably should have left this story for my husband Chris to write about on Odd Planet since it is weird news – in my books any way.

A company called Lunar International is allowing people to order a personalized Lunar land claim for real moon property.

Here’s the description:

Millions of people have purchased their very own property on the moon, and now you can too. Lunar International, Earth’s recognized leader in lunar real estate, has designed an innovative plan to return mankind to the moon. Through our program, anybody who wishes to own land on the moon can do so by purchasing an officially authorized lunar land claim from our organization. Whether it be a gift for a loved one, a reward for a valued employee or simply a treat for yourself, property on the moon makes a unique and affordable gift that anyone can enjoy.

It would certainly make a great gift for the person who has everything!

Natural Bath and Beauty products at the Best Bath Store

July 9, 2008 by Tricia

rose soap I love bath and beauty products, but often I have a problem using them as I’m allergic to the chemicals and artificial scents used in these products and other products for the home such as scented candles and air fresheners and even perfumes and colognes. So I’m always on the look out for companies that use natural ingredients in their products.

If you also appreciate using products that are made with natural ingredients then you’ll love the items at the Best Bath Store. As far as I can tell all of their bath and beauty products are made from natural ingredients like essential oils, extracts and dried natural ingredients.

I love their selection of natural soap. The one that I used in the photo above is their Rose Geranium body bar. It’s textured with rose petals and made with natural essential oils. Everyone that reads this blogs knows how much I like my roses so the idea of having a rose scented bath sounds delicious to me. They have several other natural bath soaps ranging from dead sea salts to cacao butter, orange, lavender and many more. There are even special acne facial bars.

One other thing that I like about the Best Bath Store is that they offer free product samples. you can visit their sample product page and request free items to try.

I liked the idea of being able to try their products before I made a purchase that I contacted them last week to request free samples. Unfortunately I haven’t heard back from the company yet (perhaps the holiday caused a slow down) so I’m not sure if they’ve sent me my free samples yet or not. Also I’m in Canada so it might take a bit longer than if I were in the US. If I do get my samples I’ll update this post and tell you what I got and what I thought of their bath and beauty products.

The Best Bath Store also has a point system. When you make a purchase you get points, rack up enough points and you can cash them in for a store credit. Now that’s a bonus for regular customers. Oh and they offer free USPS priority shipping on orders over $25!

If you enjoy quality bath products made with organic ingredients – items which are not tested on animals I should also say – then check out the Best Bath Store.

Personalized gifts, stories, songs and DVDs for kids

June 16, 2008 by Tricia

I’ve just come across a site that I think parents will love. The site is called Kids Personally and they specialize in personalizing kids DVDS, children’s book , kids songs, gifts and several other items that can personalized.

I’m not exactly sure how they personalized kids DVD but they can actually put pictures of your child in popular DVDs such as Spiderman, Dora the Explorer and other DVDs that are popular right now.

The companies premise is that a child using a book that’s been personalized or listening to a song that’s about them will pay more attention and likely learn more from the story that’s being told. Plus I’m sure it would make a child feel very special if they were to get anything with their name or image on it. I know when I was a kid I felt very special when I was given a name plate for my door that had my very hard to find name on it.

Kids Personally even has items like personalized alarm clocks that sings the childs’ name. How cool is that.

I don’t have any kids, but I do have young nieces and nephews. I think I just found a great site for Birthday and Christmas gifts for them. Visit the site to hear sample songs and view some of the great items. I’m sure you’ll like them.

Shop for the best deals at Shopping.com UK

May 25, 2008 by Tricia

I don’t do a lot of shopping online, but when I do it’s because I’m either looking for a hard to find item, something I can’t easily buy at a retail store or something that’s out of stock locally and of course, I’m looking for the best price I can find.

One of the sites that I visit when I’m looking for the best deal I can get is Shopping.com. You can search for just about anything on the site – clothing, shoes, handbags, jewellery, furniture, garden products, computers, cameras and many more items.

Shopping.com has product listings from thousands of online retailers. You can use the site to shop and compare prices and then once you find the best deal your taken directly to the online retailer’s website. I love it. This site saves a lot of time.

I know that a number of my regular readers are from the UK so I’m happy to let you know that there’s a United Kingdom branch of Shopping.com. Perhaps you already knew about it, but if you didn’t, visit the site and start shopping for some deals.

Saving money is always a good thing!

Free or premium business cards and other print products 25% off with promotional code

May 5, 2008 by Tricia

A few days ago I was introduced to a site where you can purchase quality custom-printed products such as business cards, letterhead, postcards, personal and greeting cards, checks, envelopes, labels and more.

The site is called GigglePrint and as you can see it has a long list of products that would come in handy for everyone from a small business owner, an entrepreneur or to a person who simply wants personalized stationary to use for the family newsletter.

GigglePrint would have come in really handy for me when I had my own small business. I used to be a trade jeweler and naturally I needed items such as business cards to promote my business. I also needed a variety of rubber stamps for my invoices. Did I mention that you can have rubber stamps made at Giggleprint?

Not only does GigglePrint offer a selection of pre-designed premium business cards, stationary, note cards, invitations, announcements, gift tags and other accessories, but you can also choose to custom design any of these items simply by uploading an image to the site to be used on the product of your choice.

Items such as their premium business cards start off at the price of 250 cards for $19.99.

GigglePrint also has a selection of free products. You can create and customize free business cards, free personal checks and free business checks. What better way to try out a service than to start out with free products and then perhaps select one of their high quality premium items on your next order?

Considering that I’m pretty much a full time blogger these days and I’d also like to promote my photography I picked out one of their free business card designs and began creating a card for one of my sites.

Unfortunately I soon discovered that GigglePrint only delivers to locations within the United States. Hopefully they’ll think about expanding their delivery locations to areas within North America such as Canada as I’m sure they would gain a number of new customers.

If I had been able to order my free business cards I would have only had to pay for shipping.

The site is easy to use. Just navigate through their product menu to find the item your interested in and then follow the directions in order to customize your business card, check, stationary or other product. You can choose the type of font you’d like to use on many of the premium products and as I said before you can personalize their products by adding your business logo, a digital photo or another type of image to your custom item.

If you’re interested in promoting your business or need personalized stationary, letterhead or even invitations take a moment to visit the site. I’d love to hear if you liked the selection and if you found it easy to customize the item you decided to order.

Oh and right now GigglePrint is having a special. If you use this source code GPWF80 when you make an order you’ll get 25% off the price! That 25% off is for all products on the site. Sounds like a great deal to me!
