Site Review: Dream Direct

Web address: http://www.dreamdirect.co.uk

Brief Rating: A good site.

Here is just the place to find that something for someone who's either got everything or a friend that's notoriously difficult to buy for. Not only can you find those novelty talking clocks, but also cd players and radios, games, items for those who have particular hobbies and interests, and gifts for all occasions. They are all here!  Don't be put off when you first look at the site, particularly if some of the top links aren't readable, just look a little lower down below the search field and you'll be able to view, either the whole range, or browse by category.  Product information is good and if you need more information you can always contact the Company directly by phone.

Now, here is the place to go, for that gift, for that someone who has everything, but not one of those! You will get as much pleasure browsing the site, as you will buying the gift.

Site Review: Potty Puzzles.

Web address: http://www.pottypuzzles.com/

Brief Rating: A good site.

Something different for adults and children alike which will keep them occupied for hours.

Choose from the easy to the more complex.  Puzzles are made from wood, metal and wire, not forgetting the brain teasing word based and colour co-ordinating types plus the mathematical.

Order by phone or online, Pay Pal being the chosen secure server for this Company.  Customer service is excellent and they are happy to answer e-mail  queries.
