New section added...

International Gifts is our newest section featuring merchants from around the world offering unique products originating from their countries. All these sites offer prices in Canadian dollars and most will ship to Canada. The ones that do not ship to Canada allow you to purchase in Canadian dollars and send a gift to friends and family within their country. We already have 10 sites listed featuring merchants from Ireland, Scotland, England, Asia, Africa, United Arab Emirates, middle Europe, and Madagascar, and plan on adding several more in the very near future. Enjoy!


One website removed...

Perfumes.ca offered a wide variety of fragrances in several different brand names. We're not sure what happened but when visiting Perfumes.ca now, the website does not load. It says the page cannot be found. As a result, we have removed the link to Perfumes.ca from our website. Should Perfumes.ca return at some point and they offer prices in Canadian dollars, we will consider adding them to our site again.


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...

Do you know someone that would benefit from the information in this Newsletter or the contents of our website!? If so, feel free to forward them this newsletter and spread the word about our site. And, thanks for your support.
