Retailer Spotlight: Planet Shoes Makes Getting Your Kicks Fun and Easy

Sunday, December 5th, 2010 by monkeybed

Whether you’re looking to go Vegan in a comfortable pair of boots or snag a pair of walking shoes made in the good ol’ U.S.of A, Planet Shoes has something unique and special that a store like Zappos can’t boast. You can even sort eco-friendly shoes based on what material they are made from and find shoes based on how much they contribute to their community or charity.

PlanetShoes is also one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States; as they have been selling active, comfortable, earth friendly-products out of Waltham, Massachusetts for the past decade, they really know their shoes.

They also know great deals. For all orders over $49, customers can get their shoes shipped for free. They also have a cozy holiday “gift shop” that makes finding that special pair of shoes for a loved one super easy. Just be sure that you know their shoe size before you shop!

Oh and while you’re shopping for that perfect pair of shoes that meets all your urban and eco-needs, be sure to snag a Monkey Bed bag while you’re on the site. That’s right, they carry bags, too, which you can sort based on category, price range and if their eco-friendly, one of a kind, made in the USA, vegan, or whether the company who makes the bag is philanthropic.

Go get your holiday shopping on at PlanetShoes.com!

Gifting Savior, I Mean Gift Genius!

Thursday, June 10th, 2010 by monkeybed

For me, gift shopping is painful. Not because I wouldn’t love to get the perfect thing, for the perfect person, at the perfect time, but because that never seems to happen! Instead, gift shopping turns into a panicked sprint to the wine store where I inevitably buy a bottle of red I’ve never tasted for a person I’m not sure even digs wine.

Where-o-where can a guy find the perfect gift for the occasions we know are coming up each year as cruel reminders of how bad we are at gift giving? Enter my new savior, Gift Genius. They’ve gone through the trouble of breaking items into what’s perfect for different occasions…baby shower, father’s day, graduation, etc. The list is long with this monkey counting 37 different categories including my favorite, the “anti-valentines” collection.

Check them out next time you’re looking for the perfect gift, especially that elusive gift for the person who has it all. If you’re on the hunt for a Father’s Day or wedding gift this summer, you guessed it, we’re honored to have the Urban Blanket Bag listed as a Gift of the Day and several other categories! Thanks for the love and keep up the awesome work Gift Genius!
