2010-10-06

LONDON, ENGLAND, October 06, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Handpicked Collection is delighted to announce they have won the award for Best Online Gift Store in the SheerLuxe 1st Annual Online Shopping Awards.

SheerLuxe, the definitive guide to luxury online shopping, held their 1st Annual Online Shopping Awards this year and readers voted in various categories to discover the best in luxury online shopping from gifts to maternity.

The Handpicked Collection is an online and catalogue gift business which offers a highly edited selection of unique and inspiring gift ideas which have been vetted and endorsed by a panel of lifestyle journalists and trendsetters. Based in Battersea, London, it was founded in November 2007 by Jo McGivern when, after having children, she got tired of never having enough time to go shopping and find what she wanted, liked or needed. The Internet or mail order shopping was the solution, but when it came to gift buying especially, she found there was too much choice available.

The Handpicked Collection's expert panel of entrepreneurs, trendsetters and journalists review all the products ensuring all products are chosen for their originality, charm, quality and value. This aims to save customers time, make shopping fun and offer customers the kind of buying confidence they find in their favourite newspapers and magazines. Instead of sifting through thousands of websites and trawling the High Street, the expert panel have done the hard work and picked those products that stand out for being special.

On the winning of the SheerLuxe Award, The Handpicked Collection's Founder, Jo McGivern, said, "I am thrilled. It is a huge compliment to us that SheerLuxe readers voted for us as they are a discerning group who recognize quality."

Managing Director, Natasha Cubitt, says, "This is a great endorsement of three years of hard work and constantly striving to improve our website, to ensure it is stylish, user friendly, good value and filled with inspiring gifts."

The Handpicked Collection's catalogue and website features gifts for men, gifts for women, children's presents, travel gifts, garden gifts, cooking gifts and much, much more. It differs from other websites in that every product is endorsed with helpful editorial explaining what makes it special from the independent panel of experts, including journalists, entrepreneurs and trendsetters. Including both classic gifts and hidden gems, the site aims to give customers the confidence to shop knowing that they're getting something special.
