Well its A level Results time! All of you must be so nervous, excited, scared, worried the emotions are endless hoping you get the grades you need for University!

I have been there believe me so I know how you all feel even if it was what feels like a lifetime away!

Gifts4Gifts Improve Delivery Charges.... Take Advantage Folks!

We have been 'Live' for nearly 2 months now and when we first launched our website we wanted to make sure we were covering all costs and for anyone who is in the business of retail negotiating delivery charges especially with us being Brand New is a tough task!

We have some great news though and have acknowledged that £4.95 maybe a little steep for a standard delivery charge, especially if you just wanted to pick up a few little bits.

So, We are now offering Free Standard UK Delivery on orders over £20 and even better we have reduced our UK Standard Delivery Charge to £2.95.

We still have the Gift Wrap Option which is an Extra £1 and Next Day Delivery of course is there if you've left your gift purchasing to the last minute!

Go and visit www.gifts4gifts.com and see what fabulous gifts await! 

Thanks Pep's
