Blue Planet Film Fest - Phoenix

The Blue Planet Film Fest is coming to Phoenix, from May 12th through the 15th, held at MadCap Theatres. If you're on the east coast, you have an opportunity to attend in June. Dates are still being worked out for the event in Santa Monica.

An array of environmental films will be shown, based around four themes: Land, Water, Future, and Animal. This is a great opportunity to learn, and meet people with a passion for animals and the environment. The event is created by Mira Tweeti, animal advocate, writer, author and winner of a Genesis Award.

PJ Publications is a proud sponsor of the event.

PJ Publications and Gifts Now on Facebook

We set up a Facebook company Page within the past week. Until now, I didn't even have a personal Profile. I know, dinosaurs, you say.

I'd been thinking about setting up a company Page for awhile and for various reasons, resisted. I can see how valuable a company Page is; namely it's another way for us to reach out to our customers.

We would be thrilled if you would Like us on Facebook. We plan to share news, insights, coupons and updates on new merchandise.

8 Days Left to Bid

Just wanted to post a quick reminder that the Angel's Wish online auction ends in just 8 days. They currently have 380 items in a number of categories, including handbags, jewelry, art and for the home.

PJ Publications and Gifts donated several items for our animal lover friends. These include an Espe cat tote, which is a limited edition design; a Laurel Burch bag, a Far Fetched chihuahua necklace, a pair of Sienna Sky beagle earrings; and a pair of cat on moon earrings.

You still have time to win and maybe even snag some bargains. It's also for a great cause. Angel's Wish is an all-volunteer animal welfare organization located nearby in Madison.

Happy bidding!

Free Shipping: Is There Such a Thing?

As a retailer, I'm very much aware of how sensitive buyers are about shipping costs. We've always kept our shipping costs low, and several months ago lowered them even more - US buyers will pay no more than $5 for shipping for their entire order, and will continue to receive free shipping with purchases of at lest $50.

Some stores - not all, mind you - may want you to believe you are getting free shipping, when in fact they may be grossly inflating the prices of their merchandise to compensate for the satisfaction of seeing that $0 for shipping at checkout. We are able to offer reasonable shipping while still offering our merchandise at affordable prices.

With that said, many fellow merchants - including PJ Publications and Gifts - are always looking for ways to reduce shipping costs. And it's not all that simple. With ever-rising carrier rates coupled with wanting to offer the highest-quality packing materials, shipping remains a challenge.

My best advice to you, and if you're the smart shopper I think you are, is to simply do the math. When all is said and done, which merchant is offering the best value? And by value I don't mean just price. Superior customer service, expedient shipping and integrity are all part of the equation.

Still time to Shop in Time for the Holidays

If you're still looking for a gift for the animal lover in your life, there is still time to shop. Although we are sold out on several items, there is still fabulous merchandise available. But please don't wait too long, as the window of opportunity to still receive your gift on time is getting shorter.

We can ship your order directly to the recipient if you'd like, and will even include a gift card at your request. Most of our jewelry comes presented in an attractive gift box. These are free services and we are happy to do this for you.

We've lowered our shipping rates

We've lowered our shipping rates even further. The most you'll pay to have an order shipped to you from PJ Publications and Gifts is $5.00! And of course, shipping is still absolutely free with orders of $50 or more.

You will receive the same quality packaging, much of it from recycled materials. And we will continue to ship your orders fast.

Take a look at our new shipping rates.

Improvements to the PJ Publications and Gifts Website

We've made it even easier to shop for your favorite animal lover gifts and accessories. Now when you go to the PJ Publications and Gifts website, you will see a more streamlined category section on the right side of the page. You can search by Animal, Special Collections, or Sales and Outlet.

If you click on Bird Themed Gifts under Gifts and Accessories by Animal, for example, you will be directed to a page where you can look at Bird-themed handbags, jewelry, socks, home decor items, or DVDs and CDs.

I hope you enjoy this new feature and welcome your comments.
