Hello Shoppers,

Oh yes, that’s right, we have another survey for you! This week we at Letsbuyit.co.uk would absolutely love to know, (so please tell us), how much you normally spend on clothes each year. If you are anything like us, you might not want to address exactly how much of your hard-earned money has been waffled away on that must-have bag or those items of pure ‘necessity’, but do not fear, our survey is completely anonymous!

So here is our question:

How much money do you spend on clothes each year?

This week's survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

- At least 4000 £! It’s expensive to be trendy!

- Between 1500 and 2500 £.

- About 1000 £.

- I only buy to suit my needs. I’m not interested in fashion at all.

Visit us at Letsbuyit.co.uk where you can find the survey on the bottom right-hand side of the homepage, so get voting!

Last week's survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Now, the results you have been waiting for. Last week we asked, “When spending quality time with your family, what do you normally do?” The results for this one were somewhat unexpected and we found that the only thing you don’t do is play video games with your family with 0% of you going for that option. However, 33% of you play boardgames, 33% play outdoor games and 34% of you do none of the mentioned activities. Some interesting results indeed!

Thanks for reading and remember to come and visit us at Letsbuyit.co.uk where we have all the hottest deals and products to suit your needs!

This week we are proud to introduce two new amazing shops to our already booming LetsBuyIt family !

Today, RoxyUK and QuiksilverUK have joined our ranks, two of the biggest surfwear fashion retailers in the world!

Quiksilver was created in the 1970’s by designer and founder Alan Green. The brand was designed to reflect a wave of surf-loving youths who wanted to be able to dress the part when moving in surfing circles. From the 1970’s onwards the brand has become world-renowned for its quality products which are both fashionable and young.

In the early 2000’s Quiksilver created a sister company called Roxy which caters for the young, female surfer. Both brands have reveled in much-deserved success.

There comes a time when a home needs a bit of TLC. The sofas are getting a bit mangy with stains from TV dinners and the cat pawing at the bottom of them. The once beautiful hardwood floors become scratched and scuffed with age and everything just starts to look a bit dated. We at LetsBuyIt feel like this happens all too often! It feels like you’ve only just redecorated but then when you think back, it was actually quite a while ago! Luckily for you, we have a solution that won’t break the bank. This week in our spotlight we are showcasing 15 of the best furniture pieces and homeware accessories to revive your drab home and give it just the uplift it needs without having the spend a fortune on a full refurbishment!

So please feel free to peruse my selections this week and take a look below at how I would put some of the pieces together!

Minimalist chic Ensemble at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Featured in the montage above is a gorgeous sofa from Habitat. In a beautiful, grey marl sort of colour, this sofa fits in well with most colour schemes and looks modern and chic to really bring your interiors up to date. We also love the union jack cushion from Barker and Stonehouse which again adds a very contemporary twist to the ensemble!

Sheepskin Rug at Letsbuyit.co.uk

We adore this sheepskin rug at Letsbuyit.co.uk and really feel no home can be complete without one. It’s soft, luxurious fur feels delightful under foot and really is versatile enough to be placed in any room! We especially like this for a bedroom so that when you get out of bed, the first thing you feel is pure luxury! And it’s a bargain price too!

Boho Ensemble at Letsbuyit.co.uk

We adore this collection of pieces for a more boho style or for a bedroom as the colours and patterns create a warm, relaxed ambiance. This chair by Orla Kiely for Heal’s if one of our favourite pieces as it contrasts a wacky pattern with a rather stiff posture. The 70’s inspired legs also keep this chair up to date as the 70’s is a big trend for homeware this season! We also adore this crackle vase light. Essentially it is a large, cylindrical, glass vase filled with hundreds of fairy lights, but the effect is amazing! It gives off that warm glow which is so essential for a peaceful ambiance in a bedroom.

Dolce Vita Chest at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Oh wow. How we adore this Dolce Vita Chest from Barker and Stonehouse at Letsbuyit.co.uk. It’s old-fashioned elegance contrasted with its funky, striped pattern makes this piece bang on trend and very boho-chic! We have to have one and take note, these are selling out fast!

I hope you’ve enjoyed my run-down of my favourites of my favourites. I’ve only featured a small few so be sure to check out the entire spotlight! To see more of the pieces I have featured on this week’s spotlight check out our Furniture Frenzy spotlight HERE.

We hope you will come and visit us very soon at Letsbuyit.co.uk where you can find all the best deals on the hottest products!

We all had high hopes for this summer. Summer clothes were being squeezed back into, Pimms was being knocked back and paddling pools were out. The joyful summer sounds of children playing in the garden and cars with their windows down belting out summer songs filled the sweet, freshly-cut grass smelling air.

Snap back to reality people.

If you haven’t already noticed, summer has most definitely been a flop. We in the LetsBuyIt office are back in our jeans and jumpers again after what feels like barely a week of sun! What a disappointment. But as we have to do every summer, we need to find from within ourselves some British resourcefulness! Even when the children are tearing around the house, bored out of their brains and your flowers are getting ruined by the freak august weather, do not despair! When it’s miserable outside, we have got the perfect form of entertainment!

Have a look below at a few of the best family movies of all time to keep mum, dad, teenagers/toddlers and grandparents happy this summer!

Wall.E at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Wall.E is a brilliant, disney movie with that all too predictable but nonetheless heart-warming Walt Disney plot! This is a great one for younger children but also the use of clever humour by Disney makes it also funny for adults and grandparents!

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe at Letsbuyit.co.uk

A more touchingly poignant, heart-warming tale you will not find. Fried Green Tomatoes beautifully contrasts life in Georgia in the 1930’s with the stresses of modern-day life in the 1980’s. From Evelyn’s (Kathy Bates) and Ninny’s (Jessica Tandy) story-telling of their separate and entirely different lives an unlikely yet fiercely loyal friendship occurs giving both women fulfilment and love. This film is perfect for all the family (apart from the very small ones) but do be warned there are references to traumatic incidences and violent racism so proceed with caution with very young children! In my view, a rainy day only serves to enhance this fiesty yet romantic tale of the deep south.

Ratatouille at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Disney Pixar’s Ratatouille is another not to be missed! With the use of cutting-edge graphics which make all of the food in this film look utterly irresistible, you will be enthralled by the witty storyline and the at times very realistic portrayal of a bustling restaurant kitchen! A perfect, uplifting film for all the family, no matter what age!

Spirited Away at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Get swept away into a world of fantasy in the most breathtaking animation Japan has ever seen. The highest selling box-office film ever in Japan, it is easy to see why. Spirited Away involves complex themes of love, friendship, abandonment, loss and acceptance all encapsulated in the plot of a fairy tale with goodies and baddies, but like you have never seen before! This is a definite must-see and we can guarantee anyone of any age will fall in love with it!

The Secret Garden at Letsbuyit.com

You’ve guessed it, The Secret Garden is yet another heart-warming family film! A favourite of many of ours, this film deals with many poignant issues such as death, abandonment, mental illness and depression! That sounds very dark you may say, but there you would be wrong. The Secret Garden tells a magical tale of friendship and love and how such human emotions can overcome times of sadness. This film is suitable for all ages and will be enjoyed by all!

We hope you’ve liked our run down of a few of our favourite family films from over the years! Take a look at our vast selection of films HERE at Letsbuyit.co.uk where you are guaranteed to find something for everyone!

In years gone by, video games had a target market of teenage boys, with messy rooms and bad attitudes. Luckily, video games have moved on a great deal in the last few years, not only with the graphics and technology used but also with the broad range of games on the market, guaranteeing there really is something for everyone.

For this week’s spotlight, I compiled the ultimate list of games on the market at the moment. I handpicked these games based on reviews, sales and most importantly what I thought of the game.

So today, I want to share with you my absolute favourite out of those that I found.

Let me set the scene…

Screenshot from Alan Wake, for sale at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Alan Wake is a supernatural thriller novelist and has just finished an especially haunting novel. Him and his wife Alice, head away to a small town in Washington, Spring Falls, to relax and take a little holiday. When they arrive, there is an ominous feeling in the town. The small-town residents are charming but there is a feeling of unease that hangs in the air and many of the residents say, if you stay too long in Bright Falls it can start to play with your mind a little. With this sense of unease already beginning to set in on Alan, his wife Alice disappears. As he desperately searches for her, things start to deteriorate and the world of the supernatural that he created in his most recent novel starts to come to life immersing Alan in a world of evil which he may never be able to escape from.

Gripping stuff eh!?

In this interactive game, your character is Alan Wake and you guide him through the small town of Spring Falls to look for his wife. Not only is the storyline gripping but the graphics are magnificent. Playing the game immerses you in the world and feels like you are right there due to the amazing 3D graphics and realistic soundtrack, with echo noises and running water sounds.

Overall, you can clearly see in this game, the attention to detail Microsoft has put into this game has really paid off and if you are to buy one game this year, make it Alan Wake!

LetsBuyIt.co.uk head office has had an absolutely scorching summer with what seems to be a heat wave every week! So, during those hazy, summer days, we thought what better way to take our minds of the heat than to ask you, how you spend your holidays! With one question being asked per week over a three week period we had a huge response from you with over 500 of our diligent shoppers participating, providing us with some fantastic results!

Where do you normally stay on holiday survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

By the number of participants eager to tell us where exactly they are going on holiday this year we can most definitely see you are all very excited about your holidays! Whilst there is no obvious forerunner of where you most like to spend your holidays, we can tell you that 32 percent of you in fact chose a hotel by the sea, putting this holiday location in the lead by 2 percent. 30 percent of you then chose at a campsite. Many people are opting for staycations this year due to the economic crisis and we say why not! Across England, France and Germany there are some fantastic camping locations to be found and you can find all the products you could possibly need to relax and enjoy your staycation under our spotlight ‘the staycation’ at Letsbuyit.com! Coming in third was staying at a holiday cottage with 19 percent of the voters opting for that choice and lastly 18 percent of you haven’t decided yet! What is crystal clear however are the favourite holiday hotspots for each country! Evidently the Germans and the English enjoy their camping whilst the French would rather opt for a hotel by the sea… perhaps in the South of France…we wish!

How much money do you normally spend on holiday survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Now onto how much money you like to spend on holiday! The winner of the splashing-the-cash prize goes to Germany where over 50 percent of the Germans like to spend upwards of 700 Euros! In second place is France where 31 percent of you spend over 700 Euros on your holidays, a far-cry for the German 50 percent! And scraping into third place with 30 percent of the vote is England where evidently, we are not big spenders this year! 50 percent of the English and over 55 percent of the French prefer to spend between 300 and 700 Euros on their holidays whilst the Germans prefer to spend upwards of 700 Euros.

How do you cool yourself down when it's hot outside survey at Letsbuyit.co.uk

Now onto the survey we probably had most invested in, how do you cool yourself down when it is hot outside! We really wanted to know!! The Germans lived up to their stereotype of being super-efficient with 50 percent of them battling the heat by trying not to move around too much and thus not burning any energy, whilst the ever-practical English tried to stay cool with a fan or air conditioning unit with 50 percent of you voting for that option. It would appear however that the French have monopolized the situation by doing a little bit of everything! Those frenchies indulged in some ice-cream eating, wearing skimpy clothes and using a fan/air conditioning unit in a bid to beat the heat! Inspired idea if you ask us!

So, to summarise, the Germans are going camping this year for upwards of 700 euros and cooling down by staying sedentary! The French are of course sunning themselves at a hotel by the beach with a budget of between 300 and 700 euros and are cooling down by indulging in all of our favourite summer activites; eating ice cream, frollocking in skimpy summer clothes and letting cool air wash over them with an air conditioning unit or fan. Last but by no means least, this year the English are economizing at a campsite with a budget of between 300 and 700 euros and staying cool with an air conditioning unit!

We hope you have enjoyed our rather interesting survey comparison, and don’t forget to vote each week on our surveys at Letsbuyit.co.uk!

Social Networking….what can I say! It is both a joy and a horror, and definitely inescapable.

We at Letsbuyit.com like our social networking sites because it means we are able to connect with our happy shoppers more easily and it enables us to give YOU the low-down on the most exclusive, covetable products before anyone else! We think that part is the coolest!

However, at the same time social networking sites can indeed be a huge invasion of privacy. Quite often sites will automatically connect to each other and your facebook status will end up on twitter or your latest upload on youtube will be your status on myspace! All very confusing if you ask us!

We at Letsbuyit.com understand no-one likes to be hassled online, which is why we have a no-bugging, no-annoying, no-hassling/heckling policy on our Social Networking Sites! Meaning, we won’t bother you! How nice!
However, what we will post and give you access to are the very best deals on our site and the hottest products everyday, allowing you to get the most out of shopping online!

Hello all!

This month, we have had some rather exciting news at Letsbuyit.com and I feel…it’s time to share it with you! I’ve been bursting with excitement for months and now I can finally break my silence…drum roll please…This month, Letsbuyit.com have finally released our Brand New and hugely exciting MerchantPlace! I know you’re probably thinking, Billy, what are you talking about?, but don’t panic! I’m going to explain everything and when i’m finished i’m sure you will be just as excited as I am!

So what is the MerchantPlace?…

The MerchantPlace is an idea that had been in the pipeline for months and months which has finally, after a lot of hardwork from the technical team, been put into place! Essentially, the MerchantPlace is a platform for smaller businesses and merchants who want to have their products featured on the site without having to go through a costly affiliate platform!

So, what does that mean in English?…

When a shop wants to feature their products on a price comparison site such as ours they normally go through an affiliate platform. An affiliate platform is simply another company who handle all the product feeds of a certain shop and put them online. Whilst there are obviously advantages to going through an affiliate company, for many smaller businesses this option  is simply not feasible due to the expensive fees you are required to pay which are too big for small companies.

So what does the MerchantPlace mean for smaller shops?…

Letsbuyit.com have created a unique and potentially highly lucrative opportunity for smaller companies wishing to be featured on a price comparison site.  The MerchantPlace requires no costly registration fees, and no obligation for renewal after the first installment! Prices to be on the MerchantPlace are affordable for all kinds of small businesses and guarantee maximum exposure for minimum cost! Registration is done on a month-to-month basis and what’s more is that Letsbuyit.com is a completely non-biased site and therefore will not favour one merchant over another depending on how much they pay!

Fantastic, you say! You’re right, I say!

See below for the comprehensive list of prices:

Pack 1 – Up to 1000 products – 20.00 EUR
Pack 2 – Up to 10000 products – 40.00 EUR
Pack 3 – Up to 100000 products – 100.00 EUR
Pack 4 – Unlimited amount of products – 200.00 EUR

Have a look at our press release for more information HERE.

If you’re interested in our MerchantPlace as a prospective subscriber, or you are just curious to see what it is that i’m actually talking about, click HERE to be taken directly to the MerchantPlace where you can learn more about it!

I hope you found that as interesting as I did and remember don’t hesitate if you have any questions or comments!

In recent years we have seen technology soar, providing us with all kinds of electronic devices that aid in the living of our day-to-day lives. None, in my opinion has been so influential as the mobile phone. Since the first mobile was released in the early 1970’s, mobile technology has advanced to an extreme. The once brick-like phones that had to be carried in brief cases are now so small and light that they can be worn on a belt, in your jeans pocket or in a dainty, evening clutch-bag with no bother and we at Letsbuyit.co.uk never fail to be impressed!

In the last year, we have seen this amazing technology progress even further. The introduction of social networking on the mobile phone has exploded! Now when you’re sat on the bus, at a friend’s house or pretending to send an ‘important email’, you can be tweeting, facebooking, myspacing, and all the other ings from your mobile! And with the introduction of android technology, whereby you can install apps on your phone, you really can take procrastination to the next level! We love it!

So, as a homage to the mobile Gods of Samsung, Motorola, Apple and many more we have put together 15 of the very BEST smartphones you can get your hands on to have you kitted out with technology that has literally just been invented! Pretty cool eh! And what’s more is that Letsbuyit.co.uk is an entirely impartial site meaning these products have been hand-picked on their merits to ensure you that you get the best brand rather than the brand who pays best!

Get Smart with your Smartphone Spotlight at Letsbuyit.co.uk

We at Letsbuyit.co.uk LOVE the iPhone 4. Its technology is so advance that without trying to sound like I am completely pre-historic, it astounds me! However, for those of you who would rather not shell out 500 quid plus for the brand new iPhone 4 or who would just prefer not to buy into the craze, we have plenty of other options. With smartphones from the top phone companies beginning to rival the iPhone’s technology, no-one has to miss out!

Make sure you pay us a visit at Letsbuyit.co.uk for the BEST prices on the HOTTEST products! And don’t forget to get your SmartPhone before it goes HERE!

Feel free to comment on this blog to let us know what you think of the iPhone or any of our other products!? Do you like how far the technology has advanced or are you happier with a phone that simply calls and texts?

Happy shopping!
