Shipping Rates

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We’ve had to make a few adjustments on our shipping rates, even though we still feel our economy rates can’t be beaten. Unfortunately, postal rates keep creeping up on all of us and we haven’t been keeping up. Thanks for understanding.

Affiliates and a Giveaway!

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Did you know that Speakable Gifts is an affiliate of three organizations whom we know and trust? You probably didn’t, so we’re telling you now! The three companies are Amazon, Christianbook, and DaySpring. What this means is that we have partnered with these companies so that we may provide links to products that we recommend or to special deals at their websites and we receive a commission if you happen to purchase something after clicking over. It doesn’t have to be the particular item we recommend, but if you were to buy something within twenty-four hours at Amazon, four hours at Christianbook, or ninety days at DaySpring we would get credit for the referral.

If you know us, you know how much we love to help people give Christian gifts, and we feel this is just another way to accomplish that. These three organizations all have plenty of good Christian literature and gifts that you would like having for yourself and for your gift giving. Our newest partnership is with DaySpring, and to celebrate that……we’re having another giveaway! And needless to say, it will be one of DaySpring’s gift items, a framed wall art with the message of Micah 6:8, a favorite of many of us. Here is a quick peek:

How do you enter?

1. Just make a comment to this post. And while you’re at it, let us know if you would like to have it for your own home or will be saving it to give as a gift. We’re just curious.

2. If you want your name put in again, link back to this post from your blog. Then comment again to tell us you did.

3. AND, as an added bonus, we have another small gift (click here to see it!) for the first person to order from DaySpring or Christianbook after clicking from our website page. You would have to be the first to email us and tell us so. You can buy whatever you want. Remember, though, you would have to actually place an order after clicking on one of the affiliate links on our home page or special offers page. Actually, it would be a win/win situation: You get a nice Christian product, we get a commission, and you MAY even get an extra gift (if you’re first).

We’re not sure how long we’ll keep this giveaway open; we’ll see how it goes. Sure do appreciate your working with us!

Note: This giveaway is only open to people living in the continental US. Thanks!

UPDATE: Drawing will be on Monday, March 1, 2010.

Changes

SnowstormFeb6

We’re making a few changes to our website, so if you see anything askew, you might be able to attribute it to that. Stay with us; we have other changes coming as well. Hope you think they’re good ones.

It’s been a pretty tough winter for much of the country. We’re wondering how things are in your neck of the woods. Hope you’re staying safe and warm.

God bless,

Maxine
