Do you read Lucky? Have you already finished reading this month’s magazine and you are still need your Lucky fix? Then you should look at www.luckymag.com.
It is chock full of everything you are looking for and your three year old niece wouldn’t have a problem navigating around the pages. You can order discount subscriptions (obviously as a gift because you already have one), look up what is hot in your area, learn how to perfect that smoky eye look and so much more. For instance just today I was able to go to the Lucky Style Spotter where you can upload a photo and other people can rate your look. And as exciting as I know that sounds my favorite find of the day was a link to The Curiousity Shoppe’s website.
The description on their website states “Crafts, Kits & Curios for the Creatively Inclined”; and since I like to consider myself creative I decided to proceed and I am so glad I did! I could easily spend my rent check looking for quirky items that I never knew existed but now I don’t know how I ever lived without them. I invite you to check out all of these sites but proceed with caution because you may never want to leave.

Emaze Grafix is a provider of high quality web templates and graphics based in the UK. Upon first visiting the site the message is very clear… Unlike many sites where you are unsure what exactly they are trying to sell, Emaze Grafix is instantly recognisable a resource for webmasters. The yearly cost of membership at Emaze Grafix is just £1.99. Quite how they can be making profit at this price is beyond me!
The site layout is clear and concise. Members have an easy to locate login box, while new members are prompted to sign up with a very clear call to action header. I like how each section is seperated as it makes the site easy on the eyes. Although one thing I would be critical of is the amount of information on the homepage. The site could possibly increase conversion rate by having smaller blocks of texts so that visitors are not scared away from having to read so much.

Curiosityshoppeonline.com is a very unique and fun website. They have the oddest but yet neat things there! Very unique items for yourself or as a gift are found here.
Want a hand knit jacket for an apple? How about a real porcelain to-go coffee cup that looks like a to-go cup from your favorite coffee cup? Now that would be eco friendly! I personally think my office needs the wooden stapler and the sling shot pencil. This site is very easy to navigate. The pictures are good. The descriptions of the items sold are witty and humorous! The only thing in my opinion that could make browsing the site better would be the ability to zoom in and see a larger picture of the items sold.
A real neat feature of this site is the “live chat”. Have a question about an item they sell or need help with an order? If so just click on “live chat” and you can actually have a typed conversation with a live person.Now in my opinion that is excellent customer service! They even have a picture and a little information about the creative minds behind this unique website in the about us section. Go check this fun site out!

The ShopModify.com website is a great site for a few reasons. The first reason being that this is the go-to spot for anyone looking to green-ify their lives. The company prides itself on being environmentally conscious and its products are for the environmentally conscious consumer. The website itself is very chic and the products are divvied up on the top of the page.
They also offer “green tips” for each page you visit in order to give you ideas and ways to be more environmentally friendly. They have a great sale section and another section that is full of new items. They have photos for all of their products which are always a plus and each product seems beautiful and in great condition. I love that they have a section for home décor, which many other green-shopping sites don’t offer.
They also offer a sign-up account page to become a regular shopper. The downside to this site is that you must be willing to spend a lot of green to become and live green according to Modify.

The appearance of the website is very clean but a little plain. It is very easy to navigate and the photos of the products are very warm and playful. I love the selection of tights and children’s dancewear. They have an interesting combination of products of available like shoelaces, gloves, and fishnet bodywear.
The color selection for the products is amazing. The color guide that is located on the left side of the page is really helpful, and I don’t think you could find a better color selection for tights anywhere if you tried. Ordering is as simple as it could possibly be. For anything that is one size only all you have to do do is click on the colored box that you want and click add to cart. This is nice considering there are so many color choices. Scrolling through all those colors would be a hassle.
They also offer care instructions and some good tips to preserve the bold colors of their products. This is a great to keep the shopper informed before ordering, rather than having them order and having to find out on their own.
