Wedding Bitz
If you are getting married, you know what a lot of planning goes into it. I am not sure if it will help but if you Visit Wedding Bitz r Us Ltd, you might be able to get all your bits in one go. It will make so many things easier on you. They have a whole range of co-ordinated items and they are at a reasonable price.
Don’t forget to get a wedding cake top piece because a caterer does not automatically assume you want one, and if you are like me you will find that you have an empty cake. Thankfully our wedding favours were of a bride & groom teddy, and we placed one on top of the cake. Made the cake look co-ordinated and even saved the day!
Ballet Shoe Keyring
I bought myself this mini ballet shoe keyring. It is really pretty. It is made just like a real ballet shoe and even made by a ballet firm (Sansha) with ballet shoe materials. It was only 4 Euros. They will also ship anywhere. I am thinking of getting a second one just to make it a pair. It is so cute! Needless to say it also makes a really great gift.
ePuppets
Look at these cute puppets that I found on ePuppets. Apparently the puppets are inspired by nature and literature.
I love the baby and toddler range and wish I discovered them sooner as my son would have had a whale of a time playing with them. They also have finger puppets which I simply adored as a kid. Though I think I just might buy my son some animal hand puppets. He does adore animals and I won’t have to clean up after them. The only problem is to decide which one to get!
I guess I might get more than 1 as the prices are pretty good and the quality seems nice. And combined with the coupons, it will be worth it.
And if you spend over $99 you also get free shipping.

Marks & Spencer’s – M&S
Marks & Sparks as it is sometimes affectionately known is a well known huge department store. They are in my list of favourite shops.
You can say that Marksies is split into quite a few departments but mainly they do:-
- Clothing (Men, Women, Children & Babies) and Lingerie
- Footwear / Shoes (Men, Women & Children)
- School wear / uniforms
- Gifts & Flowers
- Books
- Toys
- Technology
- Garden, House & Home
- Furniture & Furnishings
- Wine
- Insurances
- Costume Jewellery
- Holiday Shop
- Technology
Both their quality and prices are really reasonable.
Their grocery section has a vast range of delicacies at reasonable prices. They also have ordinary food too. The biggest drawback is they generally tend to sell their own range only. For example they will only sell their own brand water, which is not particularly good. But over all the rest of the items are better than the average supermarket. However you cannot get groceries online presently. You have to go in store to buy them. Its well worth a visit. You can find an M&S on almost every high street.
They now offer Free delivery on orders over £30.00.
They have a loyalty scheme called the “& More”. It is credit card based. The more you spend, the more you earn in rewards to spend back at M&S. Its not a bad rewards scheme and you can use the card elsewhere to earn rewards for M&S.

Designer Gifts.com
DesignerGifts.com is a new online gift store that sells cheap gifts that are really cool too! I know you often get what you pay for but I think that here the price seems very reasonable for the quality. They currently only ship to the States, Puerto Rico, Guam, Canada and the Virgin Islands, but I think if you give them a call, they may be able to organise deliveries elsewhere. It would be really great if they added Europe to their website delivery. If you order over $75 US dollars worth of gifts, they will also ship to you for Free, even to Canada with any taxes paid. Though the maximum that shipping will cost is just $4.95 using economy shipping which is really good.
Their categories include:-
- Gift Ideas for Men
- Gift Ideas for Women
- Gift Baskets (including create your own)
- Frames & Digital picture frames
- Personalised Gifts
- Upcoming Holidays
- Deluxe Greeting Cards
- Sale items
You can also choose what to buy by price, recipient, occasion or even category! They also have a section offering gift giving advice if you need it.
I do like the fact that they will include a free card with the gift. However, for a nicer touch, you may wish to upgrade to a deluxe card for just $1.25 more.
As well as paying by credit card, you can also pay by Paypal, which is nice and reassuring.

Woolworths
Everyone has heard of Woolworths or commonly known as Woolies!
Â
Woolworths have recently released their Big Red Book. This is a catalogue of over 1000 products. You can order these in store or online. You do not actually need the book as everything is listed online and the online prices are more up to date including sale prices etc.
Generally Woolworths have great prices on all their products.
There is a delivery price per order for all orders, including those placed in store. So you might as well place the order online and have them delivered direct to your door.
I must say I do highly recommend them. Their prices are low and quality good. And if you get their offers, you are on to a winner.
They do everything including:-
- Party Goods
- Stationery
