Advantages: Range of Products
Disadvantages: Review lists them

... Review of www.find-me-a-gift.com Just before i start writing this review, the first thing which i want to tell you is that i hate their URL !! Its such a difficult one to type once you have lost your Browser history or deleted it intentionally. It makes no sense putting up hyphens and making the name so long. The URLs should be user friendly, should not be chosen in a way where the user keeps on guessing about the way to write it. How i came to know about it No strange way but just by surfing thorugh Google to find a one. I needed it because i wanted to send a on time Birthday present to my Sister living in Poole. It never remained a Birthday present by the kind of delievery they offer. It reached as a toooooo belated birthday gift :( Design of the Site The site has a poor mix of colours. Just imagine...

Advantages: You get to say you've got a smart kid, and it won't be just parental subjectivity
Disadvantages: Smart kids can be a pain in the a** sometimes, since they're sometimes smarter than their parents!

...First of all let me remind everyone that I live in Israel where the school system is quite different from those in the USA and the UK. I know this because I am a product of American schools, and I have many friends who have had children in both school systems (and some in England as well), and am drawing on their experiences as well as my own. Here in Israel, gifted children are tested regarding their thinking patterns and not regarding their academic knowledge. The tests here are able to discover gifted children who may also have learning disabilities - so just because a child doesn't read well, or can't get the hang of math, doesn't mean they might not be discovered to be gifted. My oldest son, now 18, was diagnosed (and I don't use that term lightly) as gifted when he was in 2nd grade. I was shocked when I got the news... Read review

Advantages: There were a good selection of stalls
Disadvantages: The prices charged by NEC were too high & there was no atmosphere

...INTRODUCING THE FESTIVE GIFT FAIR The gift fair runs in November and this year it ran from the 16th November till the 19th November. I am sure quite a few of you have never heard of this event as I certainly hadn't until last year, when a relative told me about it and had a stall there this year. The Festive Gift fair has in fact been running for 10 years at the Birmingham NEC would you believe! This is one of the largest and most busiest exhibition centres in Europe and they host well over 150 events a year. The Festive Gift Fair is situated in hall 12 and has to be the least advertised exhibition there is. After finding out about the show I thought I would notice it on the TV and in the newsletters like The Clothes show etc but I never did. THE AUDIENCE THE GIFT FAIR RECIEVES The Festive Gift Fair boasts over 26,000 visitors... Read review

Advantages: a new soul vision
Disadvantages: falls short of perfect just

...Conceived by a thriving Weller as a new direction in pop,on The Gift he aspired to perfection ,sometimes reaching his goal ,sometimes hitting the post ,but nearly always on target when it came to passion and integrity, and keen to capitalise on The Jam,s status as Britains best loved band as indeed they were when this L.P was relesed in 1982 shortly after "Town Called Malice "became their fourth number one single ,he promised something new and fresh and and pretty much kept his word . Not relesed as an intended farewell of course ,but it somehow seemed tinged with finality from the off set,the band looking both unified and divided on the multi colured cover shot and would part company just six months later and never see each other again to this day ,on "The Gift" the band pushed their abilities and ambition and nearly suceeded...

Advantages: People know who it came from
Disadvantages: People know who it came from

...Okay, so we all do it. We agonize over what are we going to get whoever for whatever reason. "They have everything" "What do they NEED?" "What do they WANT?" "Where can I find it?" and of course -- "CAN I POSSIBLY AFFORD THAT WITHOUT PUTTING A SECOND MORTGAGE ON THE HOUSE?" So, here is the Quint guide for what to give: Your significant other: Okay, you have been with them HOW LONG? and you STILL don't know what to give? What do they do? What do they like? What are their hobbies (if any, besides football, even though that is a GIMME for gift giving -- WHO IS THEIR FAVORITE TEAM? Duh!) If you don't know the answers to these ever important questions, are they REALLY your significant other? and for that matter, what are you waiting for? FIND OUT! Okay, that was easy. Next, your kids, grandkids, etc.: TOYS! Video... Read review

Advantages: Neither overblown, nor underdone - done in a rush, but just right...
Disadvantages: Short, some parts overrepetitiveness betrays a wish to simply fill vinyl space.

...And now for someone more concise! "Gift" (in English, 'a present'; in German, 'poison'...) was a hastily cobbled album by Eldritch and some cohorts in order to beat the renegade Sisters Of Mercy around Craig Adams & Wayne Hussey (then under a court injuction after doing several gigs as the Sisters Of Mercy in breach of the agreement with Eldritch & Marx - the groups founders - not to use the name again) from using a variant of the name instead (as they'd boasted they would do in the music press) which just so happened to be a nickname for Sisters of Mercy fans. So much for titles & office politics. What about the music? This was an album done not only with legal problems attached to it, but physical - Eldritch having wrecked his B-Movie Soviet spy voice with vodka & cigarettes, and his body with amphetamines. In came both James... Read review

Advantages: acting
Disadvantages: plot is a bit 'seen before'

...- who plays Joey in Dawson's Creek) who seems to be the local…(how do I put this politely?!) ‘sexpot’ (as I read in one review) who seems to not be too serious about the prospect of marriage to the principle. The story does not follow Jessica though, it mainly follows Annie Wilson, (Cate Blanchett) a widowed mother of three young boys. Annie has this psychic gift (hence the title of the film surprisingly) which she uses to tell peoples’ fortunes. It is mainly the troubled locals that go round to her house to see Annie play with some cards, lay them out on a table and tell the future. What she sees are purely for other peoples benefit, and so she only accepts donations from them, rather than a payment. Annie’s best friend seems to be Valerie Barksdale (Oscar-winner Hilary Swank), who is repeatedly hit... Read review

Advantages: tense and thrillig, but gripping
Disadvantages: mmmm........?

...Annie Wilson is the Good-hearted woman, who bears "the gift" of psychic vision, is a recently widowed mother of three young boys in the rural town of Brixton, Georgia. Scorned by some of the narrow-minded town citizens, Annie struggles to support herself and her sons by giving psychic readings to a few of the members of this small community. Annie advises one of them, Valerie, to leave her husband Donnie, a macho town bully. Her visions begin to unravel the town’s dark secrets, and she finds herself in increasing danger as the drowned body of a woman is found. Her "gift" becomes her only hope to save herself and her family. How do I describe this movie? This woman in a small town has the gift of psychic vision and does reading for some of the town folk. A woman turns up missing and she "sees" clues to the disappearance. That... Read review
