HitFlip UK – exchange DVDS, CD’s, Games and more with others

by

I know that a number of readers of this site are from the UK and Europe, and it’s because of this that I thought that this might be the best site to tell you about a site called HitFlip UK that I’ve just visited.

HitFlip UK is a site where residents of the UK can swap or barter their various media related products. The site is very simple to use. Just register for an account, log in, list items you’d like to exchange and then begin to browse through the various category listings for DVDs, games, music CD’s, books and audiobooks. It’s that easy.

Everyone has items that they no longer want or need, and just the same, there are often lots of items that we’d like to have. This is exactly why HitFlip UK was created. Simply create your account and list all of the items that you no longer want and would like to exchange for other items. Every item that you list counts as a flip. A flip is a form of currency on HitFlip. Use the flips that you’ve earned by listing products to get the items that you want.

You can use HitFlip to exchange games, or perhaps to exchange gardening books and DVD’s with others. I know that if I lived in the UK I’d sign up for a HitFlip account and I’d definitely be searching for gardening related books and DVD’s to exchange with others. Ok, I’m a music buff too so I’d probably keep an eye on the music CD lists as well.

You can read more about HitFlip, the people that run HitFlip and likely some of the products being swapped on the HitFlip Blog. The latest post has a photo of a cute inflatable dolphin that’s so cute.

Please let me know if any of you sign up and what items you ended up swapping for as I’d love to know if you like this service.






Have a regular game night in your home

by

My husband likes to get together with the guys every now and then for a game night. One of our friends has a regular weekly poker game and my husband goes to our friends house regularly to participate in this mini poker tournament.

When I visited the Executive Gaming Monthly website a little while ago I discovered that they have a game of the month club. When you register and purchase one of their game of the month packages you’ll have a new game of your choosing sent to you each month. I was thinking that this might make a great birthday gift for my husband since he already enjoys participating in a regular game night at his friends.

We could have our own regular game night – and not only that, but feature different types of games each month thanks to the game of the month club.

The site offers a number of different types of monthly game packages. There’s the “Player level game of the month club” all the way up to the “custom game of the month club”.

There are a wide selection of games that you could select to be delivered to your home each month. For instance, depending upon what package you chose you could get a blackjack game one month, a poker game the next, and a roulette game the following month and so on.

If I got a gift like this for Chris we could set up some of the games in the backyard with our lovely garden for ambiance in the summer time, and then in the cooler winter months we could set up our hopefully soon to be renovated basement as a recreation and games room with, eventually, a variety of casino like games set up to play on game nights.

Now imagine having three or more different games that you could play on game night? Wouldn’t that be great? Check out the Executive Game Monthly website if you are interested in seeing all the games and gaming packages that they offer. Oh and they even have extra game supplies too.

Lovely Flowers and gift baskets for Easter

by

It looks like Easter weekend has arrived. Did you remember to send flowers to your mother or perhaps to another relative that you can’t be with this weekend?

If you are thinking of sending flowers to someone you love take a look at the fine selection of flowers at ProFlowers. They have some absolutely gorgeous Easter bouquets and gift baskets. You can pick and choose between a large number of Easter flowers such as tulips, iris’, lilies (Calla lilies, Easter lilies, and traditional lilies), orchids, roses and many other lovely flowers. They also have some wonderful Easter baskets filled with goodies.

When you make an order with Proflowers your flower delivery will be made up of flowers fresh from the fields. They guarantee that your flowers will last for 7 days or you’ll get your money back.

If someone were to send me flowers at this time of year I’d love to get a bouquet of tulips. My own tulips aren’t up yet, and for some reason I rarely cut my own flowers, yet I love having flowers indoors almost as much as I enjoy seeing them in my garden. Yes, a bouquet of tulips would be nice.

If someone where to send you flowers for Easter or perhaps Mothers Day what kind of flowers would you like to receive?

Don’t forget to send some flowers to your mother!
