Catalogs are out. Driving through traffic to a crowded store is out. Online shopping is the next big thing, and as it becomes increasingly popular there’s millions of sites out there to find what you need. You just have to know where to go, and I’ve taken the guess-work out for you. Here’s my most recent reviews.

www.catalogfavorites.com

 I give this site an eight out of ten. Catalogfavorites.com is a compilation of the most popular products found in various catalogs all listed in one place.

 I like this site primarily for gift ideas, but there are products listed that I would actually buy for myself. What’s great about the site is that you can find something for everyone. They have the whole “gimmick-y” thing I.E. “World’s Best Grandpa” etc. , but you can also find garden accessories, clothes, and jewelry.

 I noticed several Celtic themed products, an abundance of humor themed products, and lots of products that are customizable.

 The prices here are fairly reasonable for most everything and there’s an outlet sale link. Returns are accepted.

Here’s item numbers to three products I like: p8-611 r81-141x v65-571

www.whateverworks.com

 I give this site a four out of ten. It reminds me of a paid advertisement. They do have some products that would make life easier, but I doubt it’s anything you couldn’t live without. Some products here are entirely ridiculous like ” Night Vision Driving Glasses”, but I suppose someone could use them.

 The site is divided into four categories: Home Solutions, Shop by Room, Whatever Works for…, and Seasonal Solutions (although I don’t see why some of these products are seasonal).
 There are products at whateverworks.com that one might find handy like dry-wall hooks or bathtub cleaner. What’s good about that is it keeps you from having to go to the store to get those sorts of things.

What might sell some people is the Dogs and Cats section. Most sites don’t have sections devoted to pets.

 Here’s item numbers for three products that I kind of like: k8309 K9276 k7268

www.expressionscatalog.com

 I rate Expressions at seven of ten. They really do have nice things. It’s just a tad more expensive.

This site is good if you’re re-decorating or if you have a themed room in your home. You could surely find something here.

 Their products range from Asian to coastal to Victorian and everything in between. I love their Home Expressions department.

 As far as apparel goes, it’s not my style, but I totally get the idea; comfort. They list a lot of robes and Caftans. A plus size gallery is included.

 The Specialty Shop offers products I have yet to see anywhere else. For example, the” Personalized Story of a Lifetime” product is a journal designed to help you write your memoirs. It comes complete with questions acid-free pages, and your name on the cover. It sales for fifty five dollars.

 I can honestly say Expressions has some of the better looking products, so I understand why their prices are a little higher.It’s hard to pick my favorites here, but here’s three I like: e93077 r20185 e3476

See you for the next review. Happy shopping.
