There are few things that make me silly happy.
1. Finding an old tube of lip gloss in a rockin’ shade.
2. Winning anything on a scratch ticket.
3. Searing the perfect scallop.
And… the realization that SHOP.CA is about to launch!!!
SHOP.CA is the Canadian Shopping revolution. It’s the end of cross-border Shopping and the beginning of friendly, hassle-free online Shopping – created for Canadians, by Canadians. In other words, behold: Shopping Nirvana.
To celebrate it’s upcoming launch, the savvy mompreneurs at SavvyMom.ca welcomed some of Toronto’s most loved writers, bloggers and social media folk to clink glasses (SHOP-mopolitan glasses, that is!) and share in the excitement. We had a chance to hear about why SHOP.CA will be completely awesome (ahem, FREE shipping on EVERY order, what!), which goodies they have in store us (they’re totally on top of the shoe category, ladies) and why online Shopping will never be the same again for Canadians.
Before I take you through some of the pics from the evening, I wanted to give you the heads up about another epic Twitter Party! Join SavvyMom and SHOP.CA on Thursday, June 8th at 8:00pm EST for the #SHOPsavvy Twitter Party.
RSVP here to be eligible to win prizes (your share of $1000 worth of SHOP.CA Rewards!) Then, I’ll see you at the Twarty next Thursday!
On to the live event – here are a few snap shots from a wonderful evening spent among friends!

SHOP-mopolitans! These went down well.

We are all connected. My six degrees of separation above.

In case you’ve been living under a rock – or haven’t read my blog over the past few months (which is actually more offensive to me, tsk tsk), here’s what you need to know about SHOP.CA:
1000s of Stores, 26 Categories, One shopping cart. One checkout. Now that is convenience! No more duty, customs or return hassles, just 100% transparency throughout.
(You had me at “1000s of stores.”)
SHOP.CA is all about sharing. When you visit SHOP.CA and log in, you’ll find share buttons all over the site. Click and share with your friends! Every time a friend signs up on SHOP.CA from your share link, you’ll get one referral credit. Then, when they make their first purchase, you’ll receive a credit of $5 SHOP.CA Rewards to your account.
(So by shopping, you’re actually doing a good deed. #nobrainer)
Shopping has never been so splendid! Pictured right – me and my partner in SHOPPING, Carly – SHOP.CA’s Digital Media Content Manager.
Oh sigh….thousands of stores, brand names and delivery to your door. I am ready!
