Up to 25% off Science Museum Products at Eddies Essentials

Alex — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 00:16:31 +0000

About a week ago we started our Giftaholic recommends series with an article about the Science Museum and how it makes some really fun and also educational toys that are perfect for those most difficult to buy for – children.

Well we always strive to not only find you the best gifts on the internet, but also where to find them at the best prices. So whenever we find more than one store selling the same gift, we show you so that you can compare prices and decide where you would most like to buy from.

In that spirit we thought that we’d shout from the rooftops that Eddie’s Essentials is having a sale on a selection of Science Museum products, including our favourite the Virtually Indestructable Plane, which we have reviewed as one of our top ten gifts.

So to get a 25% discount on a range of Science Museum products, hop on over to Eddie’s Essentials right now!

Alex — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:30:59 +0000

In order to celebrate the launch of Giftaholic.co.uk we are running a competition. The journey to gift perfection is a long and perilous journey that most never reach meaning that you have probably received some truly terrible gifts in the past.

But even with all the pot holes along the road you may have been lucky enough to receive some amazing gifts that you have never forgotten, gifts that show how much that person really knew about you. Maybe it was something as small as finding something in your favourite colour or something as extravagant as whisking you away to a private island just because they could sense that you needed a break.

So we want to hear all about them, the highs and the lows, what Christmas presents have left you believing that Father Christmas must really exist as no one could possibly know you that well? What birthday bombshells have left you questioning whether it really is the thought that counts?

With giftaholic.co.uk here to help, the era of hit and miss gifts is over but you owe it to gift givers everywhere to share you experiences. To give you that little extra incentive this month we’re offering a £10 amazon gift voucher to the giftaholic who shares the best story. With the winner announced in time for them to benefit from a little extra spending money for the January sales. So what are you waiting for? Leave us a reply below to be in with a chance to win!
