Shopping for girls can be a challenge and especially when they are just entering the stage of developing their own style and wanting to select their own clothing.  I can shop for my daughter and for the most part know that I am getting her what she likes, however sometimes I can be off and she would have certainly picked something different.  It is also a challenge for her Grandparents or other relatives to by clothing  as they may not know her style quite as well.

This Christmas the solution to came to us in a wonderful Gift Card for my daughter from FPGirl.com.  Fashion Playtes is a great site where girls can go and design her own clothes.  They can select from an a huge variety of  tops, bottoms, dresses, lounge wear, jewelry and accessories in a variety of styles.  Clothing sizes range from size 6 to 16.  After selecting their item they  chose the size and basic style and then begin their unique design starting with the color and then adding their own embellishments and even a personalized label. The design choices are endless and the design process is fun from start to finish.   What I love as a Mom is that  girls can create appropriate and fun clothing that is uniquely their style.  I also love the quality of the clothing and designs.

Fashion Playtes offers gift cards you can have mailed and personalized with a special message or send an emailed gift card and select from a variety of designs with personalization.   Be sure to check out Sunshine Rewards for  Fashion Playtes coupons and discounts online!

Current Deal: $10 off on orders of $50 or more with code FP10 until 12/31 at FPGirl!

I’m a pretty simple girl when it comes to jewelry. I like a few basic pieces I can wear with different things. My daughter is the exact opposite. She likes a different necklace or pair of earrings with every outfit. We’ve come together when it comes to Gloss Jewelry. Gloss Jewelry features hand crafted jewelry at affordable prices that you can mix and match.

I purchased a thick beaded necklace that can be worn by itself or with different baubles and charms. I purchased 3 different ones to start with because I knew my daughter would want to wear it, too. They have everything from cross charms with little crystals to big chunky colored baubles.

Gloss Jewelry also runs some really fantastic deals. When I bought mine I was able to use a 25% coupon. Deals have ranged as high as 50% off (for Green Monday). Be sure to check out Sunshine Rewards for the latest Gloss Jewelry coupons.

We are fortunate today to be giving away a $50 Gloss Jewelry gift card. Simply watch the video below and then enter on the Rafflecopter. We want to make this a quick one so that you can use your gift card for the holidays! Contest will end Thursday night, December 13.

Do you ever wonder when you order a gift online if it is actually going to look like what you saw on the website? I know that I do. When I send a gift I want to be sure that I am getting what I pay for and that the recipient will love it.

That’s one of the reasons that I love ordering from The Fruit Company. I have sent a number of gifts from them and have always gotten glowing feedback on the quality and presentation of the gifts. This week I was lucky enough to receive the Grand Holiday Tower from them (pictured above) so that I could show you exactly what it looks like. Since it was Jillian’s birthday, I let her help me out with the review and shared some of the tasty treats with her (except the chocolate salted caramels).

As you can see in the video below, what I got was EXACTLY what was pictured on the website. The tower was bundled with the beautiful ribbons and blue and silver packaging. The boxes were completely filled with fruit and other snacks. That is the case with everything that The Fruit Company sells.

Their website makes it incredibly easy to shop by occasion or price (we all have budgets, right? The tower that I received is usually $79.95 but is on sale for $59.95 plus free shipping! You’ll even find towers as low as $29.95 right now including shipping.

And I couldn’t do a post about them without mentioning the fruit. They sell everything from fresh fruit to dried fruit to covered fruit. I love it all. The fresh fruit is just flawless. Juicy pears and crisp apples. The covered fruit is a chocolate lover’s dream (and it’s healthy because it’s fruit, right?).

Did I mention that we are giving away one of these gorgeous towers??

Check out the video below and then enter on the Rafflecopter form for your chance at the gift tower. And don’t forget to check Sunshine Rewards for the latest Fruit Company coupons, deals and cash back!

Sending gifts online can be tricky because you never know exactly what the recipient will receive. You can rely on 1) the pictures on the merchant site, 2) possible reviews on the merchant site, 3) your own experience, or 4) external reviews. We are happy today to be able to show you via video just what you will be sending when you send a gift from GiftTree.com.

The gift that I tested was actually for another site that I am a partner in. The great thing about it is that we are giving away one of these over there! (GiftTree Wine Gift Review and Giveaway).

The box that the gift came in was a gift unto itself. I know that I will reuse it for Christmas ornaments or photos or some kind of storage where I want a nice sturdy box. It could also actually be displayed. Shipping for this gift and the one that I sent my mom were super quick. I think I could have actually had it shipped for delivery the next day but even with the basic delivery charge I was still able to get it there within just a few days.

GiftTree has a lot more than just wine gifts as well. I sent my mom one of their coffee gift towers this week for her birthday and she reported back that she loved it. You can shop at GiftTree by price, recipient, type of gift, or occasion.  Or just jump to their Best Seller list and choose from a tested favorite.

Ashleigh was on vacation this week, so I was fortunate to have back my mom, former Sunshine Rewards Marketing Specialist Cindy Ballard, like the “old days.” This time, she is sitting on the other side of affiliate marketing as an Outsourced Program Manager for Greg Hoffman Consulting. We talked about one of her programs, Designer Shoes.

Notes:

• Designer Shoes originally started for large shoes sizes but now has all hard to find sizes from 4 up to 16, including various widths.
• The site allows you to shop specifically by size as well as by type of shoe.
• If you are looking for deals, start first with the “On Sale” Clearance tab with prices up to 80% off. The deeper the discount, the less sizes that will be available to grab them if you see your size.
• The Daily Specials tab has new markdowns up to 40% off each day.
• Combine the on-site deals with coupons and free shipping for even better deals.
• What’s hot in shoes right now? Check the New Arrivals tab. For fall and winter, boots and dressy shoes are big.

Don’t forget to check Sunshine Rewards for the latest Designer Shoes coupons. Right now we have 10% off of a couple of different collections and free shipping on any purchase.
