We took a look at “The Shopaholics Top 1000 Websites” yesterday. Today it’s the turn of “The Gift Book” by Patricia Davidson.
This book is very much a focus on gift occasions, with a little background on each followed by some sage recommendations of where to make your purchase online.
I found the wedding section particularly handy…. There are also gift recommendations under themes like “Bookworm”, “Boy Racer” and “Pampered Princess” under which you could probably pigeon hole most people.
There is also a “special occasion reminder section” that provides details of websites that do just that. Handy if you’re a bit of an airhead like me.

Struggling for gift inspiration?
It might be worth checking out a copy of “The Shopaholic’s Top 1000 Websites” by Patricia Davidson.
Nicely presented and compartmentalised into handy categories. Each recommended online destination includes a summary of pricing levels, gift wrapping options, where it delivers to and whether it offers express shipping. Handy if you’re in a hurry to find an appropriate, online gift resource.
Given that Christmas is fast approaching. I particularly liked the section on recommended Turkey sites…
Pick up a Kelly Bronzer from Daylesfordorganic.com, Eversfieldorganic.co.uk or Healfarm.co.uk for example…....
