Online Home Shopping

The Best Online Shopping Sites Reviewed

Archive for April, 2009

If your family is anything like mine, it’s not uncommon to have one kid in soccer, another kid in basketball, and baseball season looming just around the corner. I have spent countless hours driving around town to find soccer cleats, baseball gloves and athletic clothing for my kids, and that’s not even mentioning all the shopping I’ve done for my husband’s sporting activities or my own running. You can imagine how excited I was when I discovered Eastbay.com.  All the stuff I needed for my family in one place online, available when it is convenient for ME to shop, not based on brick and mortar store hours.

Eastbay.com has every name brand athletic gear you can imagine, like Nike, Adidas, Asics and Reebok.  Not only do they have shoes, which seem to be the item I purchase the most, but they also have athletic gear, everything from baseball gloves and bats to basketballs and helmets.

There is a WIDE variety of clothing for men, women and children and tons of name brands, too. Boardshorts, Polo shirts, running clothes, Nike Pro, track jackets, hoody’s and lots more.  They even offer college tees with the school name or mascot emblem at an incredibly low price: two shirts for $19.99. I know when I’ve gone to the local college store to buy tees I’ve spent over $20 just for one!

The site is super easy to use. You can search by sport or by category and find whatever you need very quickly.  I even bought my daughter’s birthday present from Eastbay: a Reebok Cheerleader Gift set that included a cheerleader outfit, pom-poms, a megaphone and stickers all for under $20.

So trust me, save yourself the gas money and the time and visit eastbay.com to shop for your family’s athletic gear.  Who doesn’t want to make their life a little easier?

We all remember the days of browsing through a home shopping catalog, marking pages with products we liked and calling in our orders, anxiously awaiting their arrival on our doorsteps. When I was a little girl, my mom would hand the big fat Sears Catalog to my brother and I, give us a spending limit, and tell us to mark up what we wanted for Christmas. I remember pouring over those toy pages for hours, carefully deciding exactly what I wanted and hoping I wouldn’t regret my decision come Christmas morning. Somehow Santa must have gotten word, and all those products magically appeared under our tree each year. Maybe these memories and the excitement I felt unwrapping those gifts is exactly why I still love catalog shopping; you place an order and bam! 3-5 business days later it appears on your front porch, sorta like Christmas morning all over again!

Even though Fingerhut has been around since 1948, I don’t remember seeing their catalogs until I was in my early twenties. I was amazed at the amount of name brands they had as well as the HUGE variety of products. I could literally buy my daughter a stroller, my husband a new flat panel and myself a new necklace all in place and without having to leave my house!

Since I prefer to shop online, and am sometimes frustrated by the difficulty of many shopping sites, I was excited by how easy their site was to use, and apparently I’m not the only one as they have over 900,000 visitors to their site each month! They also offer tons of web exclusive deals and products that you can’t find anywhere else.

Okay, maybe I’m the only one that gets excited about name brands, but I have to give you a SHORT list of just some of what they sell:

Skechers
Maidenform
Sharp
Graco
Emerson
Pentax
Fisher-Price
Conair
Revlon
Liz Claiborne
IPod
Sansa
Reebok
Apple Bottom

A few added reasons I love Fingerhut: they offer 30-Day Home Trials on purchases as well as SafeLine Account Protection, so I know my information is secure. They also offer monthly credit options and you can make low monthly payments.

I find the online store totally easy to use, but if you still like the feel of a catalog in your hands, you can easily order one by visiting: http://www.fingerhut.com/RequestCatalog.aspx

You can also place an order by calling 1-800-233-3588.
You can reach customer service at 1-800-208-2500 or by emailing customerservice@fingerhut.com

Profane, vulgar and obscenely funny, Louis C.K. insists on telling the truth, whether you like it or not! Join the Emmy Award-winning stand-up comic and TV star (Lucky Louie) as he shares his thoughts on the stuff everyone thinks about — male bodily fluids, the joys of being white, the difference between women and girls — but never has the nerve to say. It’s Louis C.K. at his risk-taking best: fearless, honest and totally outrageous!

TEXT FROM THE FRONT COVER OF THE seasons DVD
Long ago in a land across the great waters, our ancient father had a dream.
In his dream the Great Spirit came to our father and carried him away on wings of fire.
The Spirit told our father he would lead him to a new land—
A place of bounty, a promised land—
For father had walked in truth and in light in all seasons.

So begins the legend.
It is the story of the seasons of a people:
Seasons of faith and prosperity, pride and war, forgiveness, and rebirth;
Seasons known to all people, in all nations, from the beginning of time.
We invite you to journey with us through this timeless legend.
It is our story.
It is your story.
