An investigation has found that some major high street stores have been selling real fur labelled as acrylic. One mystery shopper brought a coat from TK Maxx which has a no fur policy. It was later found that the coat had a real fur collar trim. The RSPCA has urged shoppers to double check any items that have a fur trim. As a guide if skin or leather can be seen between the hairs at the base when they are pulled apart, the fur is real. If a weave, or material, can be seen at the base, then it is fake.

As someone who has both a BA and an MA I am familiar with the stress involved in getting a last minute essay completed. One service that I came across recently allows you to buy essays that are basically custom papers written for you. Their essays help service cover anything from term papers, research papers, coursework and dissertations. They can even match your own writing style by looking at your past work. It’s a very interesting idea, although personally I like the sense of achievement I get when I finish a piece of work, so its not really for me.

I have been trying to get all my Christmas shopping done early this year so I don’t have a last minute rush. So far I have done most of it online which saves quite a bit of time. One website that I came across that has a really good range of gift ideas is Optics Planet. They sell cameras, binoculars, Ray Ban sunglasses, microscopes and MP3 player, just to name a few items. They have a useful gift guide where you can filter by price, category and occasion which is great if you want some ideas. They also offer free shipping within the US on an order of more than $29.95.

I read this article that suggests some parents are so desperate to get a Wii console before Christmas that they are paying up to £500 for the console on ebay. The console is priced at £179 but is currently unavailable in most UK stores. When stock does become available it has been selling out as soon as it hits the store. The Wii is a great console but I don’t think I would pay £500 for one.
