Oh Happy Day — One Year Ago Today…

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I hope your day is filled with fun experiences with family & friends, a focus on the things you’re thankful for, and fabulous food!

In addition to Thanksgiving, we’re celebrating our blog’s first
birthday. ) One year ago today, our blog was born. TheFind.com was a mere 3 weeks old when the blog came to life. Ahhh, it’s amazing how fast they grow. Okay, I’m being silly, but it is crazy to think that a whole year has passed already!

We’ve been really busy over here responding to user feedback by refining our site, improving functionality, and increasing the number of products and stores. The coolest thing, in my opinion, are the tabs at the top of the search results. Have you checked them out yet? The first thing you see is all the results that we can find for your search, but you can choose other tabs to see only the results from boutiques, department stores, Rodeo Drive, 5th & Madison, mall stores, and eBay/Markets. My favorite is the mall stores tab. I like to get an idea of where I might find a specific item if I wander into a mall. It can be an incredible time saver!

Tomorrow’s "Black Friday" which marks the official first day of holiday shopping. What will you be doing tomorrow? Shopping online in the comfort of your home in your toasty pajamas or bundled up and ready for "war" with the crazy crowds?!? It seems that some malls and stores are opening at midnight tonight,
while others are opting for the more traditional "Black Friday hour of 5:00am. Although, I have heard about several 4:00am openings too. So, what’s it going to be? Chaos or using TheFind.com’s "sale" filter to bring up only sale items (check the box next to the "sale" icon on the left side of the search results).

As you can tell, I’m all over the place today. It’s an exciting day! It’s a big family & friends day. A great eating day. A day to reflect and be thankful for your life and the wonderful blessings in your life. Our blog’s a year old today. And tomorrow, will be shopping madness no matter where you do it! Black Friday has got to be one of the most exciting days of the year. The sales are unbeatable!!!

Happy Thanksgiving/Searching/Shopping,
