Advantages: Lovely gift ideas

Disadvantages: Overpriced

This site is great for last minute gifts, which are sent direct & most within a few days.

A friend recommended this site to me, she said her order arrived exactly when said, no problem.

The site is bright, and easy to use, with so many nice gifts...it starts you thinking `who can I send a gift to`

It has Flowers, Chocolates, Hampers, Balloons, Fruit Baskets, Herbal Baskets, Jewellery, Magic Sets, Teddy Bears,
Cakes from Cornwall, Cards.....

First I Took a look at the cards, they are hand written & sent by first class post...the cards are nothing overly special, just the usual ones you get in card shops. It was £2.95 which sounded ok, but then I thought I could go to the shop myself the next day, get one & post it for less & it wouldn`t take any longer.

Next I looked at the Cakes, what a nice idea to send to mum I thought..different...the cakes looked lovely, the prices..well they averaged at £10, I liked a large one at £18.50 , thought mum was worth it. So I clicked to purchase, I could then add a message, next I found delivery was £6.50 !!! Sorry mum...but £25.05 for a cake! I could get one for £2 & send it myself.

You can also send a humerous personalised Front Page of a Newspaper, but that was £24.95 !!!

This is a good site, fast, and the gifts are so nice, but sorry I personally thought the prices were over the top.

They also have a reminder service you can register with & they will send you a reminder of special occasions 2 weeks before the date & you can register as many dates as you want.

It is worth a visit & if you have plenty of money, I am sure you will find loads of gifts to send.
