This site is a one stop shop for gifts for all occasions. From the sentimental, to the practical, to the just plain weird, you will find some great options for your mom. You will find gourmet chocolates and other gourmet delights, home decor items, gardening gifts, jewelry, gadgets, apparel and many more interesting options at this site. Do not limit yourself to browsing the Mother's Day sections, or even the "gifts-for-her", as some of the other shops (such as "gadgets and tools") offer a really cool and unique selection.
One great thing about the site is that you can search by a variety of criteria. The homepage currently has a large section devoted to Mother's Day. You can also search by "gifts-for-her", price range, and type of gifts. There is even a section devoted to last minute gifts for the procrastinators out there. These items can be ordered Monday's through Thursday and be shipped overnight.
The customer service department is friendly and helpful via email and phone. Items come well packed, and a variety of shipping options are available.
A downside of the site is that many of the items are overpriced. You certainly pay for convenience and variety. Many items are exclusive to redEnvelope, but it is worth a price comparison for the items that are not. Just run a quick web search with the item name to check prices and make sure you are not paying for the very pretty website at www.redenvelope.com.
The site runs specials on shipping periodically, so be sure to scan to home page for discount codes.
The best thing about this website is that it is geared towards gift giving. Once you have settled on your purchase, you can choose to have the gift wrapped in the charming redEnvelope gift box (for an additional fee, of course). The order form makes it easy to differentiate between the giver and the recipient. Tracking your order is user friendly, and updates are given periodically over email.
Despite some high prices, www.redenvelope.com is the site to go to for unique, high quality gifts for mom. You will save time, and make a big impression.
