Great Websites for Christmas

For this edition of Great websites, we thought we’d take a look at great websites for Christmas.  For the first time, EuRApean readers have come up with some great tips – thanks to Angela Lochner of RightMove for her tip of Fabstuff.net.  Please let us know of any websites that you have found that may be of interest to our readers.

FabStuff

Fabstuff has a really intriguing range of presents sorted into easy to search categories.  Angela Lochner from Right Move in France put us in touch with them;

“These are gifts and “stuff” for him, her, the children, the house and even pets!  It is so hard to find original gifts and on this site I was spoilt for choice.  I have ordered goods on several occasions and have been happy with the purchases and service.  They even wrap the presents for you!  This sounds like my style of Christmas shopping!”

Fabstuff deliver across Europe and can be found at www.fabstuff.net

I Want One of Those Dot Com

This is another brilliant gift site, with an amazing range of things you never thought you wanted, but just cannot live without!  With a diving trip to the wreck of the Titanic (€50,000) to a flight into space aboard the MIG 25 Space Explorer (€25,000) even the hardest person to please will be happy to open their Christmas gift!  With a range of gifts starting at under €10 and a range of novelties unavailable in the shops, I Want One of Those.Com has become one of the most successful retail sites online.  Delivery across Europe is usually within 2-5 days.

The Animation Factory

If you want to make your emails or e-cards really stand out, then this website is worth looking at.  The jumping “Seasons Greetings” lettering on the EuRApean came from this site. With a huge range of downloadable animation, from things to help with powerpoint presentations, to web graphics and Christmas animations, the Animation Factory offers a cost effective one-stop shop.  The graphics are very easy to download and come complete with licences for use.  This is a subscription based website, with prices starting at $25 for one month.  A year can be purchased for just $49. 

They can be found at www.animationfactory.com

Northpole Dot Com

If you think Christmas is for the children, then send them to this website.  Northpole.com is the mailroom for letters to Santa and much more.  You can send your Christmas wishes to Father Christmas, explore Santa’s village and send holiday postcards to friends.  Kids can even start a “Good Deeds” calendar, to let Santa know how good they’ve been all year.  You can even watch Santa dancing.... should you wish to.

Santa can be found at www.northpole.com

LastMinute Dot Com

Want to escape Christmas altogether?  Then Lastminute.com is the best place to search for last minute flights, cruises and holidays.  The company are specialists in searching for the very best deals in travel and have some really fantastic deals to places where the sun is still shining.  They currently have a 5 star holiday in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt for just €450 for seven days over Christmas.  They also have deals to the Gambia, the Dominican Republic and Kerala in India over Christmas starting at just €700.
