[Freestylextreme]

Cool idea, put us down for clothing

 

[Blush]

Great idea

 

[cycloneuk]

Great idea, when buying stuff for Christmas, i would prefer to support members here with small/medium sized businesses.

 

[Blush]

I can offer the dancewear too via my other site
www.blushdance.co.uk

 

[flatpackuniverse]

What a nice idea, we'd like to join in

 

[FunkyBears]

Excellent idea, and let's not forget. A shopping guide is not just for Christmas!
I'm in. With all the talent on this forum we should be on page one Google for about 1000 specific keywords by next Friday!

[ginnyscards]

Great idea, out me down for cards and gifts, crafts, jewellery

 

Great idea

We can add to the gifts side of things too with our Chess set site

 

[AndyP]

Yes.....very good idea.....happy to offer 10% discount to UKBF members. To obtain this go to our site by clicking the link in my signature, click the login link on the toolbar and follow the instructions:

username: vipcustomer
password: style

Retail prices will continue to be displayed but 10% discount will be applied at checkout.

Happy shopping and seasons greetings!

 

[Blush]

Is someone going to compile an official list with discounts offered etc?
I am happy to offer discounts to UKBF members.I am sure there will be something for everyone on there.

 

[borobabe]

I am happy to join in too, have a small selection of toys and gifts on the site now.

 

[Fuzzy]

Fuzzy happy to join in too

 

[bobgentry]

Dee's Fancy dress are only to happy to offer a 10% discount to all UKBF members.
With all the Staff Christmas Costume parties coming up this idea could be quite popular.
Just PM me for your own personal discount number.

 

[deniser]

I'll compile the list if everyone wants to let me know if they want to join in and if so what discount they want to offer (if any) and if so, what discount applies, what the code is and when the offer expires.

And what section you want to go under to save me having to look up each website.

Do you think we should limit this to existing members with a reasonable amount of posts to weed out the spammers and fake goods? Should we have editorial veto?

Thanks for your support!

 

[ginnyscards]

I would love to take part in this. It's nice of you to compile it yourself.

I sell handmade cards and gifts and so, if possible, could I be listed under gifts, jewellery and crafts. I think these three sections cover my products. If you are restricting entries to just one, I think Gifts will be ok.

I am willing to offer the following deals until the 24th December 2008, so everyone can benefit while they are Christmas shopping:

10% off all handmade cards - reduced price on site
Buy 4 get 1 FREE - state on paypal form UKBF member and your username to get the FREE card

25% off all jewellery sets - reduced price on site
Buy 2 and get a FREE jewellery gift - state on paypal form UKBF member and your username to get your FREE jewellery item

If you require any further information, please feel free to contact me.

My website address is: www.ginnyscards.co.uk
My text link title is: Ginny's Cards & Gifts
My website description is: Handmade cards and gifts for all occasions. Something for everyone. Unique gifts to make gift giving even more special.

Thank you

Ginny

Hi, I'm very new here to UKBF but if I'm allowed to join in my site is at
healthcatalog.co.uk and offers toxin free eco friendly health and beauty products.

 

[cycloneuk]

It needs to be limited to members with a set number of posts or fully paid members if post counts are low, otherwise there will probably be some spammers signing up to get on the list or inactive members.

 

[Spency]

Hi,

I am not sure if I can add mine :

http://www.buy-products-online.co.uk

But we offer a lot of products from Merchants and also a discount blog :

http://buy-products-online.co.uk/online-shopping-blog/

With discount codes for many of them.

Might help this Christmas.

Ian

I have approval from the administrators (for which many thanks).

What do you think is the best way to do this?

A sticky at the top of UKBF offers - so the thread stays at the top, and then people could post inside it and I could update the list at the top of the thread?

OR

Another idea is that we create a sub folder in UKBF offers - for example called 'The UKBF Christmas Gift Offer Thread' (or something snappier!) and have sub categories which people could post their offers in - for example Children's Toys, Accessories, etc.

What do you think?

 

[who_me]

Help!!!... not sure how you giftwrap a website... whe says selotaping up the screen :|

That option sounds good to me.

 

[David P]

If allowed to join in will be happy to offer 10% off any items in our ebay shop. We sell leather bags and purses.
stores dot ebay dot co dot uk / Tandale-Leather
Members can just tell me they are UKBF members and their usernames when they pay.

 

[Jamest]

You can put us down on that as well

www.1770.co.uk

Happy to go along with the consensus on discounts to UKBF members

J

 

[lesliedocherty]

brilliant idea, will look at categories and discounts we can do later

 

[cycloneuk]

I think that perhaps members with less than 50 posts need to be fully paid members of UKBF in order for them to have their website listed, otherwise the list would grow huge and its only fair that active members are listed and not fly by night people signing up to to list their website.

 

[deniser]

Thanks for all the comments so far. Keep them coming and I will start compiling the list tomorrow.

 

[Jay08]

Great idea!!!

If you want UGG boots, Sandals or you want to get it for your wife this winter check us out www.onlyoz.co.uk/index.cfm

Drop me a PM and can sort out discount onto your account.

 

Happy to offer a 10% discount off everything on my Boho site for ukbf members just use ukbf xmas in the checkout box valid until Dec 25th 2008.

 

[bobgentry]

This is a great idea but what is happening?
If we don't get this set up soon we will be looking at Easter not Christmas.

The list is compiled. Just waiting for a few stragglers. There's another thread running about this.

 

[movietub]

I'll give £500 off any of anything ordered from this site to any one on this board!

Everyone needs a water feature - come on.

The guide is a great idea. Where is it going to be published?

I hope tonight as it's on my computer at home. It's a little sparse but we can always add to it.

Sounds good but I actually asked where it's going to be published.

Sorry Dan, it's one of those days! I had trouble deducting £11.40 from £20 earlier. Now I can't even read!

Not hundred percent decided but in Offers probably - it needs to be editable so it can be updated. Is there anywhere I can put it and edit it regularly? It will be in table form rather than a series of posts to make it user friendly. Any ideas?

 

[deniser]

Update
It wouldn't let me post as it was too long. Paula is seeing whether she can override it.

 

[deniser]

More technical problems as it doesn't like tables either.

Trying something else.....

 

[Paula Barrett]

Yep we're going to put it up in UKBF offers and make it a stickied thread.

Let me know when you've got it Denise, sorry the forum didn't like your lovely presented tables!
