Greetings Prezzybox Army!

It’s finally February and we’re a little closer to springtime!

It’s a bit quiet at Prezzybox HQ today, our Marketing manager, Ben left last week and 2 more of us have left the miserable UK in search of some summer sun in Oz! We’re all very jealous, but we hope they have a fantastic time.

If you haven’t checked out our fantastic Valentine’s Day competition, do it now. We’re giving away some amazing Valentine’s day goodies as well as an Edible Arrangement!
Before I leave you this week, take a look at this video to make you smile this Friday. Have you ever seen a death metal chicken? Well, you have now…

We’ve been celebrating at Prezzybox HQ this week!

Our trophy-shelf groans out in protest as we win yet another prestigious award – the first ever Shopsafe award for Customer Service!
“This award recognises the superb levels of customer service given to Shopsafe customers over the last 12 months. In particular, the levels of service given to customers over the busy Christmas period were second to none.”

Shopsafe said – “We’ve never given this award before, but felt the high standards set by Prezzybox deserved some recognition.”

A great big “thank you” to the staff and customers at Shopsafe, we couldn’t be happier with our shiny new award. It’s great to receive some recognition after our small but dedicated team battled with the busiest Christmas on record. We’ve proven once again that we can provide customers with unbeatable service even under pressure!

But enough ego stroking, we have some more great news for you all!

Valentine ’s Day is coming up, so we’re giving you an opportunity to win a Valentine’s Day you’ll never forget. We want to hear the story of how you and your partner first met. Was it love at first sight, did you fall in love with your best friend or was there a funny, clumsy set of circumstances that drew you together? Either way, write your story in the box on the competition page to be in with a chance to win!

If you win first prize, you’ll receive some fantastic Valentine’s Day goodies including a £50 voucher valid at Edible Arrangements!

You’ll also receive a 2 for 1 Spa Day at one of the spectacular Bannatyne’s Spas nationwide to enjoy with your partner and a whole host of other Valentine’s Day goodies!

Second and third place will also receive an amazing Valentine’s Prize Pack to share with their partner. If you don’t win, you still might receive a small token from Prezzybox,

So what are you waiting for? Get yourself over to the competition page and enter!

Lastly, as it is Friday, I’ll leave you with a video to get you ready for the weekend! Wouldn’t it be cool if you could commute like this…

Have a great weekend!

I think it’s fair to day that Slankets are amongst the best inventions ever made!

If you haven’t heard of them, where have you been?! They’re gorgeously soft and fluffy fleecy blankets that are fantastic at keeping you warm and cosy on the sofa (or wherever you happen to be. But these are no ordinary blankets, Oh No; the Slanket is brilliant because it comes with sleeves!

Great big, baggy, fleecy sleeves that let you hold your cups of tea, read a book or use your computer whilst enjoying delicious warmth and comfort!

We’re not the only people who love Slankets. We’ve had so many great reviews from you, the Prezzybox army, that there should be no question about it – the Slanket is King!

We gave a couple to our good friends at Affiliate Window and they’ve sent us some pictures of themselves enjoying Slanket Time.

Proof, if ever it was needed, that Slankets can make everything comfortable!

Enjoy the Slankets, guys…

Wow, it’s been a while since we last updated.

But it’s been a great Christmas for Prezzybox. We’ve been completely rushed off our feet! I hope you’ve all had a great Christmas and that 2010 is shaping up to be a great year for you all.

Unfortunately, the snow has been wreaking havoc across the country, and being that Prezzybox HQ is in the middle of the countryside, most of the Prezzybox crew have been working from home this week.

It would be easy to let the ice and snow get us all down, but it’s even easier to wrap up warm & safe in our Slankets and hot sox. If you’re chilling at home, why not check out the Winter Sale with loads of bargains across the site!

Also, send us your best Snowman pics and, you never know, I might post them up here.

So, until next week, enjoy the snow and have fun on the ice, this little kitty will show you how…

Til next week,

Kat

It was a day just like any other when, whith a fizzle and a splutter, the juice stopped flowing at Prezzybox HQ.

So what does an internet company do when the power’s off?

At first, we just hung out in our Slankets waiting for the power to come back. After a while, we decided to give the office a jolly good tidy.

The power came back about an hour later and now the office is fresh and clean, we’ve recycled all of our boxes and cyper-cleaned our keyboards.

So what do you guys get up to when the power goes out?

Also, since we haven’t said it before, I’d like you all to give a big Prezzybox Welcome to our newest member of staff, Deena. She’s our new techie and is very lovely indeed.

As it’s Friday, and as I haven’t given you a video in a while, check out this example of epic cuteness. You’ve probably seen it all before, but it’s still cute!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Well, Prezzybox Army, we have a new commander-in-chief.

I present to you, miss Hello Kitty!

All hail her royal cuteness.

She’s the latest addition to the Prezzybox team after our new techie, Deena, who joined us a few weeks ago. Kitty has already made quite an impression and even launched a full-scale haddock heist this afternoon. She’s gonna go far here for sure.

She and her big sister, Polly, have been getting along very well indeed and have already formed quite a formidable team!

Oh yes, Prezzybox Army, we’re celebrating today!

Our trophy shelf is now groaning under the weight of our brand new shiny award, the Retail Systems Retail Website of the Year 2009 award!

It joins the 5 other trophies we’ve won over the last 3 years for our wonderful affiliate marketing work and is surrounded by the many WOW customer services awards we’ve won over the years.

This award proves that for internet retail, Prezzybox is the best!

We couldn’t be happier with our shiny new trophy and the prestigeous title that comes with it. The award is truly deserved by all our staff who work tirelessly to make sure Prezzybox is the best it can be.

So thanks to everyone; staff, affiliates and customers for helping Prezzybox to become the Retail Website of the Year!

Hello!

Are you carving your pumpkins ready for the big night on Saturday? That’s right, Halloween is just around the corner and while you get yourself ready for a monster halloween party, I’d like to share some fantastic party tips with you all.

Firstly, get yourself some Gelli Baff…

And one of the fantastically scary Horrid Henry Mega Mischief Sets…

When you’ve got your goodies, fill a basin with water and use the Gelli Baff to turn it into a deliciously gruesome goo. next, take the wiggly worms, spiders, teeth and other nasty things from the Horrid Henry Mega Mischief Set and drop them in the goo. Give it a good stir and bring in your contestants.

Blindfold them and then you can either assign a score to each nasty thing in the goo (the worms would score highest as they’re gooey too and a little more difficult to find)  or you can see how long it takes each contestant to find and remove all the goodies from the basin of goo.

The Mega Mischief Set is also great for playing pranks on your halloween guests, and if you have more Gelli Baff left over, it’s a great way to give your kids a new, fun bathtime experience for Halloween!

Don’t forget, there’s still time to enter our Halloween competition! write a spooky poem or story to be in with a chance of winning a copy of ‘Drag Me To Hell’ on DVD and loads more Halloween goodies inclluding some Gelli Baff and a Horrid Henry Wicked Trick.

More fantastic Halloween party tips coming soon…
