Memorial Day = Big Sales!

Hello boys and girls,

It's Memorial Day weekend here in the US, and officially the start of the summer vacation season! Memorial Day started out as a day of remembrance for US soldiers who died while in the military service. Now it is also a long weekend for people to get together with the family, have fun, and go shopping!

Memorial Day weekend is also the first big sale season since Thanksgiving/Christmas, which happened a gazillion years ago as far as we are concerned! So we're really looking forward to the great discounts and special promotions that the stores are putting out for the Memorial Day weekend sales!

You don't have to live in the US to enjoy the great deals here. Check out your favourite stores online and see what promos they've got! Or you can also let us know if you have a wishlist of items, and we will go to the stores and see if they're available! Whatever floats your boat (or pulls your trigger as we say here in Texas), simply drop us a line at your.us.shopper@gmail.com. Remember, our shipping is the same price as vPost, except we ship much much faster than they do!


Good sales to check out:

Neiman Marcus Last Call - Extra 40% off entire purchase from May 24-May 25
Victoria's Secret - Semi-Annual Sale ('nuff said!)
Gymboree - Everything $12.99 and under

Foot Petals... Sole Savers

Hello folks!

I've come back to my homeland to exercise my constitutional right in the upcoming General Elections. I also took the opportunity to walk around the shops and see what's new and glitzy in Singapore. It was then I reacquainted myself with a very old friend that has saved me from many a blister - Foot Petals!

If you love your new shoes but find that (a) they're giving you blisters (b) you're slipping forward in your shoes cos they don't fit perfectly (c) the straps are cutting into your toes or heels, then you will definitely appreciate these little gems. Foot Petals are cushioned inserts that you stick onto the problem areas of the shoes, and voila!

I've tried several other brands before, but this one works the best for me. They adhere well, come in different colours to blend in with the insides of your shoes, and they really take away the pain.

Best thing is, Your US Private Shopper can help you save up to 20% compared to store prices here! Check out the range at http://www.footpetals.com/, and we're standing by to save your soles! Simply email your.us.shopper@gmail.com :-) Have a great day everyone!

Best regards
Your US Private Shopper :-)
