Website removed...

Lamplust.ca is a site that carries very unique portable, rechargeable glowing lights that will replace the candles on your table. For some reason, not only have they decided to stop offering Canadian pricing on their site, but they no longer even ship to Canada! Yet another company that's abandoned us Canadians. For this reason, we've removed them from our website. Should they start shipping to Canada and offer Canadian pricing again one day, we will reconsider adding them to our website at that time. If you wish to express your disappointment in Lamplust, send them an email at info@lamplust.com. I've sent them a copy of this newsletter!


In closing...

The goal of GiftFinder.ca is to make it easier for Canadian shoppers wanting to purchase goods online to find everything they want from our site, including freebies, contests and discounts. THIS SITE IS FOR YOU! If you know of a reputable Canadian website that has products listed in Canadian dollars, or if you find cool freebies, contests or rebates, please send us an email at webmaster@GiftFinder.ca and we'll post it online or in our next newsletter. Thanks.


Forward away...
