Below you'll find Merchants and Products which speak to the topic of this site and which, in keeping with our mission as The Web's Concierge, have been carefully chosen and individually screened for your shopping ease and pleasure. They are not paid ads, but rather companies with whom we have selectively chosen to partner. We do earn a referral fee if you find something you like or need and purchase it. We have striven to bring you the "best in breed" companies ... those that: we like, our friends like, have great sites and service, have good online reviews, positive consumer reports, and are family friendly. Keep us posted with regards to your own personal experiences with them.
You may be surprised at companies that have not been included. The "noisiest" in the marketplace are not always the best. We have chosen 1) newer innovative companies that are performing well and garnering respect in their respective niches as well as 2) "Main Street" companies that have been reliably getting the job done for decades ... in some cases centuries. Our oldest partner, thus far, has been in business since 1819! That's staying power.
Rest assured, if we've included a certain vendor in a site's line-up, there's a very specific reason for it. You may have to hunt and poke a bit, but it'll be well worth the effort. Enjoy the adventure!
Merchants
Customer Favorites:
Brookstone: A specialty retailer offering an assortment of consumer products that are functional in purpose, distinctive in quality and design, and not widely available from other retailers ... just the coolest place to find the neat, the unusual, the pragmatic, and most importantly, the innovative! (They have long been "the" leader in the "travel comfort and preparedness" column ... it sure helped sell their wares in all those airport stores.) Always a satisfying shopping experience.
Canvas on Demand: A leading provider of canvas photo reproductions ... they can give any photograph, digital or print, the look and feel of a real "oil on canvas" painting.

Makes a special and unique gift for adults as well. May not be too practical. But it will be loved and cherished.

A. T. Cross: For generations, Cross pens have always stood out as a sign of distinction and success. Receiving one's first Cross pen/pencil set when you graduated from high school or college was almost a rite of passage (I know I considered it as such when I received mine!) and your Cross pen was used to sign any and every document where the signing needed to make a statement. The same goes for all the Cross wares ... for over a century and a half, Cross has been producing fine writing instruments, timepieces, and professional and executive accessories. Always the perfect gift. (And ... if you're a germaphobe when it comes to "passing the pen" ... try out their new copper pen with antimicrobial properties ... very cool ... looks great!)
