Creative Market is a business that has digital products you can download -- especially graphics & fonts. They used to give 6 free goods every Monday via email that were for personal or commercial use. Now they are just personal use & they want you to pay $9.95/month to get the "Drops" they call them all at once. However, even if you pay the Drops are for personal use only. I have a graphics design business (store). I could possible use mockups for personal use, but there's no use in personal use otherwise if you have a business. You can only get commercial goods full price it seems. At least, they don't seem to have many sales.

Tip for consumers:
This site is a good place to find graphics. But, years ago when I signed up (I paid with my email address), there were more perks. It doesn't really "cost" anything to give goodies to long time customers. They've gone backwards in that department. One plus: they stopped posting uncredited creations by designers from Colourlovers dot com.

Products used:
Fonts, graphics (jpgs, pngs, some svgs)

This site has digital purchases for creative artists and designers--or people like me who want fonts and images. I signed up because you can get 6 Free Goods a week. I mostly download free fonts--usually handdrawn--and jpg or png files. There are also brushes and stuff for Adobe Illustrator and instagram themes and mockups which I don't use. Everything downloads fine. And, it's nice to get free stuff. Most come with a license to use it commercially up to 50 or 100 times. Some of the free stuff have unlimited commercial licenses which is great.

I made a business page & put in my phone number as required. Now, I've only gotten cold calls from businesses trying to sell me client software which I don't need. I can't remove my phone number now. And, there terms now say you can't delete your business page. My page has been useless so far, but I haven't paid them any money which is a good thing.

Tip for consumers:
Don't sign up for Yelp ads. It's a waste of money based on the other reviews here. Don't use a personal number for your business page.

You can buy PDFs of her patrerns. She has free crochet instructions and tips, including a great tip on how to do an Easy double crochet chevron pattern without having to DC2TOG which I don't like to do. It's just DCs and chain spaces. I am. subscribed to her free email newsletter, too.

Tip for consumers:
She has lots of tips.for.beginning crocheters and video tutorials.

I ordered from here once. Like the products. Have started another order. Has a membership fee, but each paid member covers a low income one for someone else, including elderly ones on Medicaid which I love.

Tip for consumers:
There is a free ahipping threshold, so I save up till I need several things on.the same order.

Products used:
Dang! Caramel Coconut snacks

I have bought yarn and crochet hooks from Joann's. I signed up for the emails because I read you could get good deals that way. I don't live anywhere near a Joann store, so online is the only way to go for me (and, I wouldn't risk shopping in-store anyway -- they have a curbside option). I have ordered 2 times from them -- yarn and crochet hooks. The orders arrived in good condition and quickly enough.

  • LoveCrafts

I have ordered twice from Lovecrafts. They have a $60 free shipping threshold. Website is easy to navigate and I like how easy it is to filter results.
Everything arrived in excellent condition in pretty organza bags. I ordered Lion Brand Landscapes in 2 colors, both of which I loved. I also ordered Cascade Yarns (from Washington State) Swaddle bulky yarn in 3 colors, which I also loved. I have made 2 shawls with that. I got Lion Brand Shawl in a ball which was thinner than described and returned it. They gave me a refund minus a $2 "adjustment" -- I don't know what that is but it was basically hassle free.

Tip for consumers:
Sign up for emails to get discounts.

Products used:
They sell yarn and other craft stuff. I do crochet; they are an excellent source of yarn.

The site is easy to navigate. The beautiful pictures of the products! I have gotten 2 skirts and a tie. I got a pair of earrings with pink stones with rose gold settings for my sister. The products are beautiful! Erika and her team do a great job fulfilling my orders!

Tip for consumers:
Right now, September 2020, the site offers free shipping on all orders.

Products used:
Erika makes skirts, masks, headbands, caps to cover your hair completely, ear protectors, and also jewelry--earrings and bracelets. They all are great!

They have very useful products--underwear that you can wear instead of pads and tampons for your period. I ordered the hiphuggers in "forest" which was out of stock a few months ago and because of that they gave me a 30% discount on the purchase. I love discounts! They also gave me free shipping and have a 60 day return policy for any reason.

  • Better Life

I have purchased different products from them many times, since before the founders were on Shark Tank, and they have good products, good customer service, and gave me a really good coupon. I appreciated that when I gave a less than stellar product review (one of their products made me sick from an "allergy" attack--I'm sensitive to even all natural products) they posted my review. They have a $25 free shipping threshold which is easy to meet if you buy their floor cleaner (works on all floor types!) and all purpose cleaner. I didn't like the kitchen cleaner and am unimpressed by the granite cleaner.

I ordered the magnetic badge card holders and they were perfect for the convention this year. I normally order pocket calendars and used to order the yeartext banner and plastic book covers, bookmarks, pens, and return visit binders. Everything always arrives when they say and exactly as ordered. I like that they give discounts for special service and large orders.

We bought a fountain for the cat. It came in quickly. The cat loved it. Later, the motor stopped working and the customer service people answered questions about how to fix it. A toy we ordered didn't work out--it was not bendy and flexible as advertised--and they issued a refund.

  • Stage

6/18/18

The last thing I bought was workout clothes. I love using ship to store with stage. Free shipping doesn't kick in until you spend $75 which I never do, but ship to store (which they call BOST in store) is free. I always get what I order; making returns is easy because it's free in store. However, descriptions on the actual site are often lacking--only one picture, no measurements, generic size charts--so that holds me back from ordering some things. I mostly order clothes from them.

Tip for consumers:
Use site to store. Return in store.

I love the unique prints and the unique silhouettes... I'm not just saying that--I wear a lot of dresses. I do love the variety. I have ordered knit dresses in the past because I hate ironing. I decided to try the crepe and georgette on my last order. They were both gorgeous and I got a lot of compliments. One dress came later than first indicated, but they emailed to tell me of the delay which I appreciate. I had no deadline to wear it anyway. I wore the off shoulder floral crepe maxi dress to one day of my "Be courageous!" regional convention and it didn't seem to wrinkle at all... LOVE! I wore the georgette floral tiered (knee length) dress to the meeting and it seemed to wrinkle just a little.
