Use our Personal Shopping Service for Free

I really enjoyed doing the podcast for my last minute Mother's Day Gift Ideas post. So, I'm planning to do some more podcasts over the next couple of months. In my next podcast I'm going to give a preview of That Perfect Something's Gift Shopping Companion Service. And, I'm looking for someone to volunteer to be a part of this podcast. Basically, I'll accompany you on a gift shopping trip and help you find the perfect gift for your gift recipient. The volunteer must live in the NYC area and must be available for 1-2 hours on a Saturday or Sunday in late May. The volunteer must also agree to be audio taped and to have the audio published on this blog. It's a great opportunity for someone to get the benefits of a Gift Shopping Companion for FREE. And, it will be tons of fun. Anyone who is interested in volunteering please email us at Blog Submissions.

Perfect Little Somethings - Shop It To Me Sale Alerts

I'll be attending the second of three weddings I've been invited to in a couple of weeks and once again I need to find something to wear. For the past couple of months I've had my eye on this gorgeous fuchsia dress by Laundry by Design. I've been patiently waiting for this dress to go on sale because I refuse to pay full price for it. Each week I either make a trip to Bloomies or Saks or visit each store's website to check if the dress is on sale. I have to tell you it's been kind of tiring trying to keep tabs on this dress. Well, you can imagine how happy I was when I recently learned of a new service called Shop It to Me that searches websites for sale items. Shop It To Me emails you a daily, weekly, or semi-weekly sale alert when items from your favorite brands go on sale on various websites. All you have to do is create a personal profile and select your favorite brands and sizes. I love this service so much that I signed up for daily email alerts! You know what else I love about this service - it's FREE! I can't wait to learn when my fuchsia dress goes on sale. What are you waiting for? Visit Shop It To Me to create your free account and start getting your sale mail today!
