SUPER MARKET SMARTY REVIEW

I was headed out shopping for what I needed for my next investigation. And I found this really really neat item that needed investigated.

THE SUPER MARKET SMARTY!!

Super Market Smarty sent me the Super Market Smarty Package!! Super Market Smarty is VERY VERY helpful. It has a place for coupons it has a magnifying glass to look at small writing on cans and such etc. The super market smarty package includes :
"The Smarty package includes:

• Supermarket Smarty reusable dry erase grocery list
• Retractable refillable dry erase marker.
• Free magnetic clip (to hang on your refrigerator) "

The Super Market Smarty looks like this...


If you go HERE you can watch a video that shows you all the features of the Super Market Smarty.

It is really helpful.


There is a pocket for your coupons and/or Notes card...


There is a magnifying glass so that you can read smaller print easier...

ProFlowers Review - REALLY GREAT COMPANY!

I was heading out to a Anniversary Party to investigate. I (of course) had my Trench Coat and Briefcase. There was one special gift that I was going to investigate. That gift was from...

PROFLOWERS!!!

And that one special Gift was...

The Deluxe Love and Cuddles Gift Basket from ProFlowers. I have pictures below. This gift basket is absolutely great! The Love and Cuddles Gift Basket (not the deluxe) includes :
"

3.5 oz. Hard Candy or Taffy in decorative tube

2 oz. Jack Allen Snickerdoodle Cookies

1 oz. Walkers Shortbread Cookies

Plush Bear with Pink Sweater

Gift arrives in pink and brown box"

Mine was the deluxe so there were a couple more things.

Here are the pictures with what I like about it...

The gift came wrapped up in a chocolate pink box with a brown lid and a pink ribbon. It is really cute.



Here is the top as you open it...


My Mom loves bears so this was also perfect!


Here is what is inside the Gift Box...



You can buy the Love and Cuddles Gift Basket for only 29.99 at ProFlowers. This would be a great anniversary gift. Or a just because.

NOVICA REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!

I was at the Cafe eating lunch when one of my agents rushed in. There was a new product to investigate!

THE INVESTIGATION WAS ON!!

NOVICA!! I was given a $30 GC to order something for my review from Novica. I ordered the Fancy Frogs Ceramic sugar bowl and creamer set below...



Here is Novica's Mission : "We want to give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents and to spur their creativity. And, we want to provide you with access to unique, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow.

At the deepest essence of our philosophy, we want to create a bridge between you and the many talented artisans across the globe.

We want you to know about who you're buying from. We want you to feel that attachment to the product and to the hands that created it.

In the spirit of the Internet, let us bring you together.

NOVICA. The World is Your Market."

You can see some Testimonials Here. You can shop by Animal. That is neat! Then here is Handmade Jewelry. I think ANY woman LOVES Jewelry. If you need to find a gift for the woman that has everything (not quite!) shop here. I am sure she does not have some of these.
Then for anybody that it seems like they have everything you can shop here! They have some of the most Unique Gifts I have ever seen.
If you want to : "Discover unique fair trade corporate gifts for your organization.The largest online collection of handcrafted fair trade corporate gifts, including items for client gifts, conference gifts, sales incentives, employee recognition and awards." Go here! And then the last thing for now

Then Microfinance :
"

Novica has impacted the lives of thousands of artisans by connecting them to customers around the world.

Now, on our 10th anniversary, we want to continue helping artisans expand their businesses by providing access to microcredit.

For many years, Novica artisans have asked us if we could help them get loans so they could expand. We tried everything. We connected them with financial institutions. We introduced them to local banks. We even introduced them to microfinance institutions. But, unfortunately, most artisans could not obtain loans, and when they did, the interest rates were very high. In the Novica spirit, we cut out all the financial middlemen and took the matter into our own hands!

We're launching the first-ever microfinance website where customers can purchase products and lend money directly to artisans.

And with no middlemen involved in the process, our Artisan Loans will carry 0% interest.

Yes - artisans will not be charged any interest. This revolutionary concept is possible only because Novica has offices in developing nations working directly with artisans and fulfilling customer orders. Now, our offices will also serve as disbursement centers for Artisan Loans, providing artisans access to the credit that they need to grow. We're very excited about this effort."

You can go look at Microfinance Here!

The set I received is sooooo cute! People keep telling me how nice it looks. I put some pics below with what I think. Have fun reading and keep reading because there is a giveaway!

The creamer pitcher is really nice. The design is soo detailed also.

Here is the sugar bowl. It also is really nice. The frog is on top for the handle of the lid.

And the spoon is wood. It looks great in the sugar bowl.

PHOTACULAR REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!

I was sitting at my desk when the email came in. Another Product Investigation.

PHOTACULAR

Photacular is another great photo company. My parents anniversary was coming up and I had gifts for my Mom already and a gift for both of them. I did not have a gift for my Dad though. So when I was given a $25 Gift Certificate with free shipping I decided to get him a Photoaular Photo Travel Mug.



Here is a little bit about Photacular :
"

About Photacular

Photacular lets you create fun, unique products from your photographs with safe, secure, 24/7 online access. Our range of great products includes T-shirts, mugs, coasters, jewelry, holiday ornaments, ceramic tiles, and more — all custom-made and printed right here in the USA.

We want to be your gift headquarters, whatever the occasion. Visit us for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's and Father's Day, Graduation, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the Winter Holidays. We're always adding new gift ideas, so please come back often.

Our Best Customer...

Is just like you. It's anyone who has great photographs that are destined for more than life in a box or on a hard drive; anyone who wants to make unique keepsakes to rekindle those precious memories. Our customers give gifts with meaning, gifts from the heart. Gifts that will be appreciated and treasured for a lifetime.

We love our families (pets included!) and so do our customers.

• Show off how cute your pets are or create heartfelt memorials. Who doesn't want to show the world how great their cat, dog, rabbit, bird, horse, or reptile is? Turn that great shot into a heartwarming necklace, a photo coffee mug, a beautiful ceramic tile, a special holiday ornament, or any of our other unique gift items.
• Create family fun. Creating gifts with your children using our easy online tools is like a day at a craft fair. But you get a real mug with a great photo, not a cracked one out of the kiln.
• We're all about making terrific products from your photos. We have our own favorite photos of our pets and our kids — and we especially love the images of them together. We want to share that feeling and joy with you.
• We make it fun and easy to take your priceless photos one step further. So why not create something very special to share with others? And maybe create a nice keepsake for yourself, too."
