Shopwiki.com window shopping without sore toes
As some of you know I have a severely disabled child, with any member of your family disabled you have the usual problems, and then some more.
My son is very destructive so furniture does not tend to last very long and sometimes even a few of the more imaginative solutions I come up with end up being off little use. (For example instead of breakable vases we use washed out 2 litre coke bottles cut just as the neck widens for flowers). This idea stops breakage but it does not stop him throwing them if he managed to get near them. His behaviors are the problems that we deal with and try to improve for all our well being but the severity of his disability sometimes leaves us exhausted and thinking we’d be better off living in a padded cell with absolutely no furniture.
I may think that but it does not stop me shopping and I came across shopwiki.com. This is an interesting and absorbing site. It has 225,017,596 products from every store on its directory so there is a good chance that you’ll find what you are looking for here. Or maybe even find stuff that you are not looking for!
I was checking out the tumbledryers (not that I need one) in the housewares, homes and maintenance section of the site and discovered that they include a buyers guide which I think is a good idea. The directory of shopwiki.com lists just about everything that you’d be interested in buying online and gives you links to interesting shops. It also has a best sellers list (if you don’t trust your own judgement).
I went online today to check out the price of dining room tables so far I have checked out humidifiers, organisers, floor cleaners and can crushers, haven’t quite gotten around to tables! There is time enough for that My son has broken three dining tables in the past six months so I am in no rush to replace them. But, I have noticed that shopwiki.com has in its directory a gifts section and an accessories section. I think its time I bought a handbag!
