Brand Name Shopping Mall

Highlights From Brand Name Shopping Mall (11/02/06)

I would like to see everyone stand up and clap to welcome five brand new stores (count them - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) to The Brand Name Shopping Mall.

Please welcome the following:
Appetizers To Go
Gift Baskets
Lucky Brand Jeans
Overstock.com

Appetizers To Go:

I'm embarrassed to say that I found myself drooling while I was designing this page. I'm trying to decide which made me drool the most - the Seu Mei Shrimp and Pork Dumplings or the Cream Cheese Chocolate Puffs. Appetizers To Go's motto is "For the Hard to Gift-Give Gourmet Appetizers." I cannot think of a more appetizing gift. Yum.


Gift Baskets:

Gift Baskets' motto is "For any reason...or no reason at all." It's always nice to be remembered by your friends and relatives for no reason at all...that is really a special gift...but we've got lots of reasons to give Gift Baskets with the Holiday Season upon us.


Lucky Brand Jeans:

Now this store is a treat just to go window shopping. If you're into Rock'n Roll, you're going to love these clothes. The two owners of this store, Gene and Barry, not only have a terrific sense of humour, but are very unique in their stylings and presentations. They are also the culprits who came up with the idea of wearing black tie, tux coats with jeans to their Lucky Brand Foundation gala charity balls for disabled children. You can't miss out on seeing their presentations of the Lucky Brand Jeans Show on their Lucky Brand Jeans website.


Overstock.com:

This is your "outlet store online" where the prices are a real discount and supported by a flat rate shipping fee of $2.95. As you know, shipping and handling charges are a real drawback to online shopping and I am always on the look out for free shipping. A flat rate of $2.95 is a huge savings in online shopping. They also have an Overstock Auction Store which you can enter from their main store at the Brand Name Shopping Mall.com.


Things Remembered:

Now this is one of my favorite stores. Even the name is attractive to me. (Especially at my age-grin.) My best friend, Darlene, bought me the most beautiful clock for my retirement at Things Remembered, and everytime my daughter comes over, she stands there and gazes at it. Do you think my daughter covets my beautiful clock? It's been engraved with the date of my retirement and a beautiful sentiment-which is personal. A really treasured gift. Things Remembered's motto is "Things Engraved Are Things Remembered." And I'm sure the "Things Remembered" include great friends and great memories. What a great idea gift. My motto is "A small gift that's engraved, is long remembered."
