12 Days Of Xmas (Gift Ideas)! - Day 9 - US Gift Cards Part 2

Day 9 - US Gift Cards

(For Jocks & Geeks)

Howdy y'all,

Today we're going to feature some gift cards that the guys in your life will love to receive, whether they are a jock or geek or both.

You can choose the denomination of the gift cards you want. They all come bundled with a USD2 gift voucher from Your US Private Shopper as well, so your recipient can simply use our private shopping services with zero hassle!

So how do we do this? The steps are very simple:

1) Tell us the denomination of the gift card you would like to get, and which retailer you would like.

Minimum purchase is USD 15 for most retailers, and you can order in USD 5 increments.

2) We will send you the physical gift card, together with a simple guide for your recipient on how to use it.

Remember, you are also giving them a USD2 voucher from us, to start them on their shopping journey!

Gift cards are also redeemable in the US physical stores of the retailers, if your recipient intends to use it when they are visiting the US themselves.

How much does this cost? Refer to the table here:

Wanna know which retailers you can go to? Scroll on down.... your.us.shopper@gmail.com is always at your service :-)

XOXO,
Your US Private Shopper :-)


For The Jocks

Academy - Great place to pick up sporting equipment and outdoor gear. If you fancy a new set of fishing tackles or sports gear that are difficult to find, you may just locate it here. Note that you can only purchase items that are permited for import into Singapore, i.e. no firearms, no flammables etc.

Columbia Sportswear - For sportswear that defend you against the elements, there are few places with a better selection than Columbia. The mountain-climbers or hikers in your life will probably thank you for saving their skin.

Golfsmith - With 76 stores all across the United States, Golfsmith is one of the largest retailers dedicated to the dedicated golfer. You will find a full range of equipment, golf wear and accessories to support your golfing passion.

Nike - Like they say... just do it :-)

REI - This place is heaven for the avid outdoor fan. Cyclists, campers, paddlers alike will go crazy in this place. Don't just take our word for it though, go see their stuff for yourself!

For The Geeks

Barnes & Noble - With Borders gone, B&N is probably the largest chain of bookstores across America. We love them for their endless selection of titles, and your gift card recipient will probably too!

GameStop - If you have a player in your life (electronics game players we mean :-)), they will love you to bits for this gift. With the widest selection of games for the major platforms like Xbox360, PS3, Wii, PSP etc, your player will be entertained for a long time to come.

iTunes US - The piece de resistance of all gift cards! With a simple setup, you can now access the content on the iTunes US store - music, movies, TV episodes. Always download your content legally - it is the only cool thing to do :-)

Still More Apple Stuff... Apple TV!

Hello everyone again!

I'm posting rather fast and furious because I'm just dying to share all the cool and wonderful stuff with you from the good ol' US of A!

Our discovery of Apple TV really started out with a desperate need to watch Mad Men Season 4. We'd missed the recent TV run, and the DVDs will not be out for another few months. The husband especially is a huge fan and was suffering from Mad Men withdrawal symptoms. So what to do??

I started researching online to see how we could download the episodes without waiting for the DVD launch, and there were certainly plenty of options. You could buy a Bluray play with internet options, or a Roku box (quite a fascinating gadget!), but in the end, we went for the Apple TV because it synced with our iTunes collection.

How It Works

Basically the Apple TV is a device that lets your iTunes collection connect from your Mac/PC to your home entertainment setup. In other words, you no longer have to squint at your screen to watch a TV episode or a movie.

Once you hook up Apple TV to the HDMI input slot of your TV, you can begin streaming your movies and TV episodes from your computer to the TV. Now you can really watch them like they should be watched!

You can therefore also stream music to your home theatre setup, if you have one that's already connected to your TV. So you can also listen to your music from a proper audio system instead of your computer speakers. Let's face it guys, even if you have a pair of kick-a** computer speakers, music will always sound better from your home theatre system!

The Apple TV 2nd gen is purely a streaming device with no memory storage, so the media files remain on your computer. In my opinion, this is much easier than the way they designed the 1st gen version, which involved transferring the files to the Apple TV etc etc.

This is my layman's version of how it works. If you want all the tech descriptions, I've provided a link below so you can do your research.

http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/apple_tv?mco=MTM3NTM1Nzk

This little baby is also a space-saver, with a footprint only slightly bigger than my palm. So no clunky boxes to mess up your living space! Only thing is that it comes with a US plug, but that is easily overcome with a simple converter to fit into our 3-pin socket. You'll also need a HDMI-HDMI cable, which is easily available. Lastly, get some iTunes US gift cards so you can download content to stream to your TV and home theatre!

Anyway, long story short, we're hooked on Apple TV as you can probably tell. Best advice is to make some supper, feed your dog and say goodbye to your friends for a while. You'll probably be glued to the TV for quite some time I'll bet :-)


Hot Deals!

Apple TV 2nd Gen (Black only) - SGD 188

Note that Apple TV is not available in Apple Store Singapore.


Delivery Date

We have stocks available in Singapore so you can collect on the same day as you place your order!


How To Order

Simply drop us a line at your.us.shopper@gmail.com, or sms to +65 9687 0770 to place your order. Payment can be made through COD or to POSB Savings 060-52028-3, and you can collect your set as soon as we receive your payment. How's that for simplicity! :-)


Alrighty folks, y'all have a wonderful day ahead, and look forward to hearing from you.


Best regards

More Apple Stuff.... - iTunes US Gift Cards!

Dear everyone,

With iPhones, iPads, iPods all over the place, you can surely use some music/movies/TV episodes from iTunes!

The only problem is that the iTunes SG store does not carry any paid entertainment at all (something to do with copyrights), so you need to get into iTunes US to download these content. With prepaid iTunes gift cards, you can get your favourite TV episodes and movies, often way before they even show in Singapore :-)


Hot Deals!

USD 15 gift card - SGD 24
USD 25 gift card - SGD 38
USD 50 gift card - SGD 75

You can order basically any denomination you like, as long as they are in increments of USD 5. The minimum order is USD 15. Send us a mail to get a quote if your denomination is not stated above.


Delivery Dates

We deliver your iTunes gift card codes electronically, so you can start downloading your favourite shows and music right away!


How To Order

1) Send us an email at your.us.shopper@gmail.com, or drop an sms to +65 96870770 to let us know what amount you would like to get.

2) Make payment to POSB Savings 060-52028-3 right away

3) We will send you the codes by email or SMS (your choice!). If you place the order during US daylight hours, you will receive the code usually within the hour :-) If not, you can definitely look forward to it within 12 hours of payment received.


Just as a word of precaution, there are a huge number of sites/pages out there advertising unlimited downloads, usually for a percentage of the value of the downloads. Be very very careful guys, because these are usually operated by scams who hack illegally into iTunes US accounts. Always download legitimately and safely!

Ok boys and girls, y'all have a great day now!

Best regards
Your US Private Shopper :-)
