The first time I tried Amazon.com was when I had a gift certificate I had won from another website. I thought since I had some "free" money, I would go to Amazon.com and see what they had to offer. I was surprised to see the many items for sale at this website. They have books, toys, and small appliances for kitchen and bath just to name a few.
When you register at Amazon.com they ask the basic questions of name, address, email address, but they also ask your interests and your birthdate. With your interests, they can suggest products you might like. Having your birthday allows the website to alert friends and family of your wishes if you specify to have Amazon do this. I made a wish list of books I wanted and had it emailed from the site to my mom so she would have some things I wanted for Christmas.
The subject headings to look under are books, dvds, health and beauty, toys, electronics, computer and video games, kitchen and housewares, and travel just to name a few. The list of items to buy at Amazon is endless! There is a search function which allows you to enter by general subject or specific item name what you are looking for.
I have purchased items from Amazon.com three times and have been pleased with the quality of the products and the timely manner in which I received them. The first item I ordered was a book. Even with shipping and handling charges, the price was reasonable and arrived in a well padded envelope in good shape. The next item I ordered was an action hero for my nephew. I had a gift certificate which made the toy cheaper than buying it at the store. Finally, a few days before Christmas this year, I bought a Conair product which heated shaving cream in the can. I checked the Conair site and was surprised that Amazon.com had the product much cheaper! I ordered the product from Amazon.com and was pleased to have saved money. Amazon.com did not promise delivery before Christmas since it was so close to the holiday, but this was fine with me. I was glad they were at least honest and didn't promise what they couldn't deliver.
I would definitely recommend Amazon.com to anyone. You do have to watch that an item doesn't become more with shipping and handling than what you would pay at the store. However, sometimes for items you can't find in the store or simply for convenience, this is a great website. The Conair product I bought was something I couldn't find in any store, but Amazon.com had it. I recently checked the site for some border for my sister's baby's room. Yes, Amazon.com does have baby items including borders. There's not much you can't find at this site!
