Shopping for gifts online is convenient and quick. But one of the major drawbacks of online shopping are shipping costs. No one wants to have to pay an extra fee for buying something on the Internet– especially if you’re buying it from a store you could just drive to. Here are three places to look that will help you find free shipping for your next gift purchase.
FreeShippingOn.com
FreeShippingOn.com is for people who love shopping online, but hate paying shipping costs. Through this site you can search for listings on Amazon or Ebay that have free shipping. You can also search specific online stores like Best Buy or Office Max and find out which items they are currently offering free shipping on. This site has listings from over 500 stores.
FreeShipping.com
One way to get free shipping is through FreeShipping.com. You must pay a membership fee, but that entitles you to always receive free shipping at over 1,000 online retailers. Use the site’s directory to find a site you want to shop at and then just shop like you normally would. Because you have a membership at FreeShipping.com you won’t pay shipping. You can try the site for free for one month.

UPDATE: FreeShipping.org
At FreeShipping.org you can find free shipping by Store and by Category. For your convenience, Free Shipping is also categorized by “soon to expire” and “most recent”. They have a feature that I like very much: free shipping alerts! Needless to say, they offer coupons and promo codes to over 800 stores.

Today we are all about being “green”. It makes perfect sense to incorporate this green trend into gift giving. The Eco Picnic Basket for Two is a beautiful choice for both giving a great gift and for helping the environment. An ideal choice for someone who likes enjoying the outdoors and who will genuinely appreciate the handcrafted design of this willow basket.
You will be letting someone dine in class with this basket. Included with the basket are bamboo plates, 2 wine glasses, embroidered natural cotton napkins, cutting board and utensils are made specifically for two. Impressive that such a striking picnic basket would come with so many included items. All that’s missing is the food!

Some of us call them collectibles, some others call them handcrafted toys.
But no matter what you call them, they have the same effect on you: they make you smile!
About the Artist
The creative mind behind all these unique products is Ms. Heidi Kenney. She finds inspiration in ordinary objects of every day life or nature and turns them into extraordinary pieces of art. Ms. Kenney regularly participates to Craft Shows and Galleries; you can check her upcoming shows on her BLOG.
About the Artwork
They are all made by hand; the main material is soft and colorful plush. Most of them are intended as toys; however, there are a few pieces of furniture (pillows), too! What I love the most about all these products is the character and colors.
I have to say that I had a hard time trying to decide which pictures I wanted for this post as they are all cute and special. You can see the whole collection and read more at MyPaperCrane.com. You can even BUY some of them. MyPaperCrane Store is updated every month with new, ingenious items.
And because they are so cheerful, I would recommend them as GET WELL gifts! Also, I would recommend the unique pillows as a perfect gift for a FIRST TIME HOMEOWNER.

Between birthdays, graduations, and weddings greeting card costs can really add up. Many of them can cost $3-$4 each. Throw in Christmas cards and the whole process might be setting you back far more than you think. But you can still be thoughtful without those high costs.

Head to the craft store and pick up some supplies to make your own. Not only will you add your own special creative touch to the cards, you’ll save money too. Check out Michael’s for supplies and have fun.
Go Electronic
These days there are lots of options when it comes to electronic greeting cards. Send your message straight to your loved ones’ inbox and you don’t have to worry about forking over 42 cents for a stamp. Some to check out are HipsterCards.com, Hallmark.com and Someecards.com.

I have night lights throughout my house and I hate to throw one away when the light cover breaks, which happens often 
. I have had drawers full of broken night lights that I simply couldn’t bring myself to throw away. I started looking for ways to recycle the broken ones so that I could reuse them. I had a ton of shells laying all over the house and I remember seeing a shell night light before. So, DING! a light went off in my head, I bet I could make my own. I did just that and it was so cute. I found they make wonderful gifts, my mother in law still has one I made her over a year ago. It’s very easy to make and you will be surprised how beautiful they are. Here’s how I did it: Read more »

Nylabone Large Puppy Teething Keys are specifically designed for teething puppies to encourage non-destructive chewing. Not recommended for powerful chewers or puppies with any adult teeth. These chews assist in the growth and development of teeth and jaws, while the irresistible Bacon flavor encourages non-destructive chewing habits.
Ingredients: Nylon, Inert thermoplastic polymer, Natural Flavor.
Chew products can be used safely and are an important component of a pet’s dental care. Chew products also satisfy a dog’s natural inclination for gnawing and chewing. When selecting a chew product for your pet, know your pet’s chewing habits and make sure the product is the appropriate size and made of an appropriate material or ingredient. For example, a large dog that has a tendency to chew and swallow large pieces should only be offered a large bone with medium to hard density that is digestible. Likewise, a small dog or puppy should also be offered size appropriate chews that are of a softer material. Pet parents should always observe their pets when offered a new chew for the first time. If the pet is able to chew off and swallow large pieces, that chew is not appropriate for that pet.
WARNING: Pet parents should monitor what and how their pets chew-regardless of the type or brand of chew or toy. It is possible for a pet to choke on anything that is swallowed whole.
Large Keys measure approximately 7.5″L x 3.5″W.
Price: $10.49. 15% discount is available online till July 14th, 2008.
