The warmer months bring with them many special occasions, such as Father\'s Day,
weddings, graduations, and anniversaries. Gonicofish.com offers suggestions for
planning and purchasing spring and summer gifts to celebrate these events.


Press Release Body = Detroit, Michigan. June 9, 2007. Americans approach the holiday
season with a mindset of gift-giving. They plan and budget in order to make this
family time a special one.

However, many do not realize how many opportunities for gift-giving arise during the
late spring and early summer. This quarter of the year brings with it Mother's Day,
Father's Day, graduations, weddings and anniversaries, a number of births and
birthdays, and end-of-the-year teacher's gifts.

Consumers naturally want to honor their loved ones on each of these occasions. Just
as during the holiday season, a little creativity and planning can help shoppers
find special gifts without breaking the budget.

One way to start summer gift planning is to visit Gonicofish.com, a free resource
for online shoppers. The company, which was founded by Gina Bassman, offers the
web's latest discounts and coupon codes from over 1,000 merchants. Bassman founded
the company to help Internet consumers find the web's best bargains.

"I love working with Fortune 500 companies and quality boutiques to bring consumers
savings on line," Bassman says.

Bassman's site is simple to navigate, which allows visitors to comparison shop with
ease. Consumers can shop by item, by merchant, or by choosing one of twenty-four
categories. Six of the categories are specifically related to gifts. For example,
shoppers who are looking for ideas for Father's Day can click a link entitled,
"Gifts for Him."

Gonicofish.com offers the following tips to help consumers find the perfect gifts
while at the same time saving time and money.

1) Think through each season as it comes and jot down any gifts that might be needed
during the next three months. It is easy to tie down calendar occasions, such as
Father's Day and birthdays. People usually have a heads-up when it comes to other
events, as well. For example, you can usually predict if you will be invited to baby
showers or to anniversary celebrations. Use your list to create a budget for each
present you would like to buy.
2) Set aside a small portion of your budget each month specifically for gifts.
3) Unforeseen occasions will pop up. Set aside a shelf or a drawer where you can
store a few gifts that might be appropriate for a woman, a few for a man, and a few
for a child. Watch for cute and useful items at sale prices. Visit sites like
Gonicofish.com regularly so that you can snap up bargains. Then, if you need a
last-minute present, you can simply dip into your stash and be on your way.
4) Keep wrapping paper, scissors, tape, gift bags, and cards on hand, as well.
5) When shopping on the net, use central sites -- such as Gonciofish.com - in order
to comparison shop. When you've found a quality item at the right place, check the
site for additional savings through coupon codes.
