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:
Amazon: One of the planet's most mind-boggling arrays of goods. First came the books. Now they've added every other product on the planet. The ultimate in selection and convenience across multiple categories.
BJ's: Probably America's favorite wholesale shopping club. Great for individuals, families, and small businesses (actually big ones too!). Not much you can't find here. And at great prices.
CrayolaStore.com: The official online store for Crayola® products ... offering a huge range of Crayola® brand name items, from crayons to markers, drawing and craft kits, school supplies, Silly Putty® and even Crayola® Custom Boxes. What would childhood be without Crayola?!
DiscountSchoolSupply: Just about the lowest prices online for school supplies for young children and arts and crafts supplies for kids' crafts.
Indigo Books & Music: No question ... A favorite - that is an understatement - Canadian destination for books, toys, gifts, entertainment, and electronics and much more ... they've been doing it for a good while and they just keep getting better.
Jack & Jill: A fun magazine for kids 6-12 ... filled with entertaining stories, interesting kid profiles, hands-on activities, recipes, crafts, and more!
KMart: Offering a wide range of merchandise from appliances, electronics, and toys to apparel, home decor, and sporting goods ... and much, much more. It would be hard for us to calculate the goods we've bought here over the years. Great stuff, great prices ... every once in a while the online customer service gets a bit flukey... What's neat ... they've still got their great layaway plan available online!
Kohl's: One amazing department store - if you put it in your home, on your body, or if it involves sports, play, or toys of any type, they've got it. (A hint ... if you are looking for counter or bar stools, this is probably the most extensive selection on the planet!)
Melissa & Doug: These guys are heroes when it comes to the design and manufacturing of quality toys for kids of all ages. They've been at it for over 25 years. You'll find 1,000s of well-designed quality toys that translate into hours ... years ... of fun and learning. At a minimum, you'll find games and toys ... including classic favorites, play food sets, arts & crafts projects & supplies, baby toys, etc, etc. What they also have that is very special and unique is a selection of Special Needs Toys ... toys that help children develop and gain control over their respective "exceptionalities" through PlAY. You'll find toys that specifically address: fine and gross motor skills; cognitive skills; speech, language, and oral motor skills; social, emotional, and life skills; sensory awareness issues; and even picky and finicky eating habits! Quality toys for fun and learning. A parent's dream come true. A big build-up ... but deserved.
Office Depot: The online store of one of the biggest office supply box stores ... not much they don't have. And - they are now "one" with Office Max ... the merger is complete.
Sears: What started as your favorite catalog store has survived to become a giant retailer - 2,300 Sears branded and affiliated stores across the US and Canada - of all your "home, hearth, and garden needs" including apparel, appliances, tools, and automotive products. We may take them for granted, but there isn't much they don't have across all niches ... all displayed across an organized, easy to navigate site.
Staples: Everybody's favorite (it would appear from the feedback we receive) and reliable office supply and "essentials" store. See Staples Copy Center for copy and print services.
Target.com: This favorite shopping destination has become one of the Web's 5 top favorite places to shop ... the company has worked its way into the Fortune 50. They've really covered all the bases when it comes to customers' "wants and likes".
