A few weeks ago, I got to try out Personal Creations. Personal Creations is part of the Red Envelops family of sites, and has hundreds of items that you can personalize with names and messages. They make great gifts that your loved ones are sure to enjoy. I went ahead and checked out the Mother’s Day section since my mom’s birthday was this month. I had already gotten a present for her, but wanted my daughter to look at the site to see if she could pick something out. She quickly saw the Garden FairyStakes and said that she wanted that one. We personalized it with ‘Love You Grandma’, like the one shown on the page. I also picked out an extra gift for my husband, the Summer Love Tree Print with our names & anniversary on it, and found a very neat retro diner sign to put up in my kitchen. The site was very easy to navigate and it was very easy to enter in the personalization info. The shipping is also good since its one price for everything; flat-rate shipping starting ...

Product Review – Red Envelope
I was recently invited to try out Red Envelop, another sister site to both Pro Flowers and Shari’s Berries which I have reviewed in the past. Red Envelope is a gift site that carries unique items along with several items from its sister sites. Like the other sites, the layout is the same and very easy to navigate. You can search for gift items according to who you are buying it for (for him, for her, ect…), and then break it down the type of item (outdoor, toys, ect…). There are a wide range of very unique item to choose from, including wooden watchers, electronic gadgets & personalized items. I browsed through the Anniversary Gifts for Him, since our anniversary is next month. It only took me a few minutes to find a very neat magnetic light that he can use on his grill. Normally, I would have a line to the item, but it has since sold out and I cannot find it on the site now. I received the gift about a week later, several days sooner that it was scheduled. I’ve hidden it the ...
Product Review – ProFlowers
I was recently invited to try out ProFlowers, a sister site to Shari’s Berries (which I reviewed last month). As the name implies, ProFlowers sends out a huge selection of plants & flowers…as well as many of the delicious items found on Shari’s Berries. The layout of the site is pretty much the same as Shari’s Berries, so it is very easy to navigate. You can search the site or go through the various tabs. I started my search with the Valentines Gifts for Him section and found both of my items quickly. I ordered the Charmed in Love Bamboo and the White& Chocolate Mousse Cake. Checkout was a breeze and I was able to pay via PayPal. I also took advantage of the free shipping offer from FreeShipping.com. (If you are not a member, you can also get coupons good for ProFlowers here: http://www.proflowers.com/coupon-codes.aspx.) I set up the shipping so that I would receive both items the day before Valentines (13th). I was surprised with a note in my email on the 11th ...

It’s Christmas time again, and that means it time for us to be catching Santa in the act with iCaughtSanta.com. iCaughtSanta.com has become a bit of a family tradition since my daughter loves it so much.

You can also add a border if you want as well. Once you are done, it only takes a few seconds to check out & pay.

NOVICA Gift Finder Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
A few days ago, I was asked to try out NOVICA’s new Gift Finder. I reviewed NOVICA earlier this year and found it to be a wonderful site where you can get all sorts of unique items and gifts. The Gift Finder basically breakers down everything on the site into categories to help you quickly find what you are looking for. For example, if you want something inexpensive, you just click on ‘Under $20’. There are dozens of sections to choose from, including ‘Gifts for Him’, ‘Jewelry’, & ‘Suggestions’. I wasn’t too sure what I was looking for, so I searched around in the ‘Under $20’ & ‘Gifts for Him’. Within ten minutes, I found a great gift for a good friend of mine and a neat gift for my husband. As always, check out was quick and easy, & I was able to pay with PayPal. Overall, the Gift Finder is a great addition to an already exceptional site. It cuts your shopping time in half & really has a great selection of times. You can try the Gift Finder out for yourself ...
Printcopia Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
A few weeks back, I was invited to try out Printcopia. Printcopia is a print service that lets you print out your pictures in a variety of ways, including standard prints & canvas prints. I got to get an 8x10 canvas print. The ordering process was pretty straight forward. I selected the canvas size and then uploaded my image. Unfortunately, I wasn’t unable to rotate the canvas…so what I originally wanted as a full body shot of my daughter ended up being an extreme close-up of her face. You are then able to adjust your image color and contrast. There are also extra color options as well that will cost extra. You also have to pay extra depending on how you want the canvas wrapped. I also noticed that you had to pay extra if you want the picture wire hanging stuff for it as well. I didn’t add anything extra to it and left it bare bones, and the price for just the picture was $56.78 before tax. They have several shipping options, ranging from free to $39.95 for next day ...
