What a great gift idea! eGifts a big hit (testimonial)

-
eGifts have been a staple at ShopAllThat.com for some time and they really caught on this past holiday season.



I have used them for a few years now...
The first time I used it was to send my dad a birthday present. The year before I had found a great gift for him at a craft fair. Unfortunately, this hard-to-replace gift ended up in thousands of pieces upon arrival and he never really had an opportunity to enjoy it.

The following year was the launch of the eGift so I decided to try it out. I shopped for lots of fun stuff in my budget and as I found things I thought he might like, I selected "add to eGift" and continued to shop. I even checked into some of the suggested gifts and added some of those too.

Right before I sent it I happened upon a wine goblet with a stained glass pattern. It looked really pretty so - BOOM - I added 2! Call it an impulse buy. ;-)

Well, that's the item he chose. And since it was sent from the company directly, it was wrapped professionally and delivered carefully. It arrived in one piece! It was so beautiful a set of goblets that I had to make him PROMISE he would use them - if only for special occasions!

I now use eGifts for all my long-distance family. And even use them for corporate incentives for customers, social media fans and team members.

Here's a testimonial from one of our recent 2013 Holiday Shopping Season customers:
“I had a great experience with eGifts this holiday season. I work nights in the emergency room, so I don’t have time to go to the store and shop because I sleep during the day. I recently went to a wedding in Maryland and on my way got stuck in traffic on the George Washington Bridge. No one likes sitting in traffic, but it actually worked out well because I had time to purchase an eGift for the couple and send it to them via email. Then, three days before Christmas, my boyfriend’s mom asked me if I had finished my Christmas shopping and if I wanted to go shopping with her. I told her that I didn’t have to go to the store because I already purchased AND sent my gifts to everyone via eGifts – including hers!
She was amazed at how relaxed and stress-free I was. She was very excited to receive her eGift via email. I was pleased because I didn’t waste any time going around to different stores to purchase gifts for everyone, not even sure if they would like it. By sending them an eGift, I am positive that everyone on my list got what they wanted or needed. Now I only go to stores during the holidays to look at their window displays!”

13 Ways to Stretch Your Dollar Further

-
Times are tight so you want to find ways to stretch your dollar farther. Coupons are great - so is buying when things are on sale. Here are some other great ways to stretch your dollar further in 2014 and beyond. Baby It's Cold Outside! Save on heating you home this winter with some great tips from US News . Things like the obvious (Bundling Up) to the not so obvious (Get a Humidifier) will help you save on heating fuel. In addition, turn the thermostat down. Your body will aclimate to the temperature and a lower temperature will start to feel normal. If you don't believe me, ask anyone in Florida what cold is ;-). We keep our heat at 64 during the day and 50 at night. I don't recommend starting that low but you can work your way down a few degrees and watch your body adjust. Open for Business! Start a business and keep more of what you earn. Start a home-based business and you don't need to lay out a huge sum to launch. Did you know that if you are an employee, ...

An Inspired Plan - Gratitude Creates Success with Ease

-
Do you know that feeling you get when things are going right? Where do you feel it? For me, it's in the pit of my stomach. This buzzing excitement that extends to my legs and arms and all the way to my toes. My eyes are shining when I think about the possibilities around me. My heart swells. Is it just me or does this happen to you too? Success has a physical feeling - a physical response. And that response, like adrenaline, spurs more from inside giving you courage and  gumption to do more of what got you that first taste. I have noticed that it's not just action that can create this feeling. A great plan that inspires you will have the same reaction. This morning I sat down and thought out the next 3 months of my business. Planning, strategizing, writing...what can be changed, what is possible, what is available ...how can I make it all work? I also wrote a GRATITUDE - GRACE - INSPIRATION list. Because you can't have more until you are thankful for what you have now. ...

But I'm Not Tired!

-
It's been an amazing weekend. The 4th of July! Independence day! Once again declaring my financial independence...holed up in my house covered in poison ivy. All of our plans of sailing, hot air balloon launches and road trips took a back seat to scratching, itching and calamine lotion. When looking for the #onpurpose of things, I find myself wondering if this was the calm before the storm. The eye of the hurricane... I spent the last 6 months working toward a goal. A goal I was SURE I would reach. A goal I worked toward each day with commitment and dedication. A goal I fell short of achieving. I knew a few weeks ago it wasn't going to happen. The gap between where I was and where I needed to go was farther than my brain could imagine achieving in the time left. So I set about looking for the "what happened" of it all. I took an opportunity to review where I was, how far I had come and what I had accomplished - even in the falling short of my goal. I'm proud...
