Designer Gifts has quality gifts for every budget and occasion

by Tricia

I’ve taken some time to have a really good look at this website and my overall opinion of the site is that it’s a great place to get some quality gifts in a wide range of prices from under $15 and up.Speaking of prices and selection, you can browse through the site in several different ways – by price, by occasion, by category, by recipient, and even by upcoming holiday. I’ll give them an A+ for that feature because I love visiting sites that you can do a number of things in a number of different ways, preferably all easy and straightforward.

giftbasket.jpgOne section that I really like is the Cheap gifts section. You can find items in that category that are listed as being under $10, $10 to $20 and so on right up to items listed at $100 and up.

Since Fathers Day is the next major special occasion that’s coming up in the near future, those of you who are looking for gifts might want to have a look at the Gift ideas for men category. Once you visit this category page you’ll find male oriented gift baskets, personalized gifts such as a stainless steel Army knife that can be engraved, a Pilsner glass, or a flask among many other items that can be personalized. There are also MP4 players, Picture frames, BBQ and grilling type gifts and a whole lot more gift ideas that would be perfect for a man.

I like that the menu, on the left side of the page has pop out sub categories. You can get to the area that you want to visit very easily in that manner, or you can just simply see what’s in each section by hovering over it with your mouse.

There is nothing in particular that I don’t like about this site. The prices are more than reasonable and the quality of the gift items is outstanding. When looking through the site I found that if you take a look at the gifts by recipient section you can even find gifts for pets and military personnel. I don’t believe that there are many designer gift sites out there that also cater to pets and the military.

One of the sections that I got caught browsing in for some time was the Picture Frames section. Yes, picture frames tend to be a standard gift for all occasions aren’t they? The are of the picture frame category that most interested me was the Digital picture frames area. I don’t have one of these yet, but after checking out a few different brands and styles I really really want one.

With some online stores my complaints tend to fall into the area of purchasing and shipping. I can’t find a fault in this area either. Designer Gifts accepts all major credit cards and even mail order purchases. They also ship to Canada, they do not however ship outside of the USA, US Territories and Canada. I’m personally pleased that they ship to Canada because I often find items online that I’d like to buy but can’t because the stores don’t ship to Canada. This can be really disappointing once you’ve taken the time to find an item and perhaps even started the purchasing process. So Kudo’s to Designer gifts for shipping throughout most of North America. Now if they’ll start doing international deliveries I’m sure many of you reading this would be quite happy.

If you do decide to purchase anything from Designer Gifts you might be happy to know that shipping is free if your purchase total is over $75. Since shipping can really add to the cost of purchasing an item online I think it’s great that they offer free shipping on some purchases.

Do check out this online store. I think you’ll be pleased with both the selection and prices.

Great flight and vacation deals with Dial a Flight

by Tricia

Spring is just about here, and for many of us, thoughts of holidays and travel are starting to fill our heads. Yes, I know that many of you might already be vacationing this month since your kids might have a week off for March Break, but perhaps some of you are planning late spring or summer vacations too?

In the last few years my brother and his wife have become world travelers. Planning exotic vacations to Countries they’ve never visited before. Two years ago they went to Africa. A month ago they went to India. Now they are planning a trip to Nepal for next years holiday.

Now, I’ve visited a site called DialaFlight.com. It’s based out of the UK and mostly services the UK market, but I was thinking that even North Americans planning trips such as ones my brother and his wife have been on recently might take advantage of flights and travel packages offered by Dial A Flight.

Why? Well, I know that on many of my brothers recent trips they ended up stopping over in the UK and catching another flight from England. Why not use Dial a Flight’s offerings for that extra leg of the trip and save some money? More money in your pocket means that you’ll have more to spend when you get to your destination right?

If anyone is thinking of going to Asia you should take a look at the deals that can be found at Dial a Flight. For example a Bangkok Flight from London’s Heathrow Airport is going for only £250 (a little over $500 US) right now. I think that’s an excellent deal.

Other than the prices and great deals, you know what’s really cool about this company? They hire sales people who have been to the destinations that they offer flights and vacation packages to – nothing like talking to someone that’s been where you want to go.

If you are based in the UK or even if your flying through the UK to another destination keep Dial a Flight in mind. You could save some money.

Delicious cakes for the holidays

by Tricia

With the holiday season coming up – American Thanks Giving, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Christmas I know that many of you will be looking for food items to prepare or serve your guests during the holiday gatherings.

Well, I found some wonderful looking cakes and Thanksgiving Treats that you might agree, look simply delicious.

Think about it- yummy moist cakes with liquor glazes of bourbon, rum, whiskey or a sweet liqueur like the Spirited egg nog cake or the Drambuie Cake.

Wouldn’t they make great Thanksgiving Treats?

They look delicious.
