Popular Pug Face T-shirt

 Pug Face T-shirts by The Mountain®

New for 2012 is the Pug Face T-shirt and it was an instant hit when it was first brought out earlier this year.

June saw Pug Face as the top seller and with UK Celeb Jodie Marsh tweeting a picture of herself wearing one of our tees and OK Magazine picking it up, it looks like Pug Face will be the best seller for July too!  Thanks for the tweets Jodie!!

Don't worry if you don't have a pug, we carry other dog breed designs too!

Pet Urns by Angelstar®

Pet owners know their beloved furry friends are like family. They show us unconditional love, and if we're lucky give us many years of happy memories. It's a very sad event when our pet dies and these pet urns by Angelstar® make a lovely tribute to that special member of your family.

These high quality polystone urns are suitable for outdoor use and contain cavities that are accessible from the bottom that can be used as traditional urns or to hold keepsakes. Some of the urn designs have a photo area so you can add a picture of your cherished pet.

Designs range from rocks that will look lovely in a flower bed, or boxes that can be placed on a shelf inside your home. Angelstar® produce quality memorial gifts so your pet can be beautifully remembered.

When Imitation Isn't Flattery

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but in some cases, especially on the internet it's not always the case. With the world-wide web accessible in most countries, there's bound to be unscrupulous people willing to steal your hard work. We face it quite often with our site.

People setting up websites thinking it's an easy, quick way to make money, and frankly too lazy to do their own work. I've lost track at the number of times I've seen someone come along and copy and paste product descriptions in minutes, that I've spent hours working on.

The Mountain® came across another despicable imitation by an Indian website selling knock-off Mountain® t-shirts. While we're only a supplier and not the manufacturer of these wonderful t-shirts, it's still frustrating and does make me angry to see this going on.  I won't give the website the satisfaction of a free link to their site by giving you a link to it here. However; I will say be very careful who you purchase The Mountain® t-shirts from.

It's not only The Mountain® that suffers from these poor quality imitations, it's the artists who get royalties for their amazing designs, the customers who purchase in good faith getting t-shirts fit for dust rags. It's also affects  the genuine retailers who sell them, as it makes customers weary of purchasing them online.

There's a few ways you can check to be sure you're getting a real Mountain® t-shirt,  first before you place an order do a little homework. It's always best to check out the site you're looking to purchase from.  Do they have contact details, including a phone number you can get a hold of them on? Check the age of the website, this can be done by doing a search for domain age checker tools online.  Do a search on the website's address and see how many other sites are linking back to them. If it's an established site there should be quite a few links back to them. If you still worry then contact the Mountain® themselves www.themountain.me and ask if the site you're looking to purchase from is a genuine reseller.

Here's a picture showing the poor quality knock-off, would you be happy receiving this?

There's many websites out there selling The Mountain® t-shirts and most of the legitimate sites will use the stock photos The Mountain® provides for their retailers. These will include The Mountain® logo on the bottom right of the t-shirt. In the case of the above photos you can see they have removed them from the stock photo on the top left and replaced the tag with their own.

Summer is nearly here and it's t-shirt weather, so be sure to buy your shirts from a reputable seller. Ask questions if you need to, and if you're buying from us we only sell authentic products! 

 Fiore d’Oriente Incense

It's been a cold, wet Sunday and I'm sitting here burning incense while working on the website. Which is why I decided to have a second blog about this wonderful, unique incense.

I've always loved burning candles and incense but I'm also pretty picky about what I burn myself. I don't like scents that smell overly of perfume.  Fiore d'Oriente incense sticks are all natural and smell amazing.

Fiore d'Oriente is an Italian company that founded a partnership with a group of families in India that make traditional incense. They use raw materials such as honey, incense oils, spices and rare wood powders. 

The traditional practice of making the incense is over 400 years old and takes about 3 weeks to create.  The burn time is about 65 to 80 minutes however; our supplier burned and timed one at 1 hour and 9 minutes. That's quite a bit longer than regular incense sticks. 

Many companies selling incense are able to sell them cheaply because they use synthetic fragrances and petro-chemicals which reduce their product costs. So while they're cheaper and may smell nice they can't possibly be great for your home environment.  Which is why I love Fiore d'Oriente they're all natural.

Our Fiore d'Oriente incense sticks come in beautiful packaging including angels, fairies, chakras and reiki making them suitable for anyone. You'll find these wonderful incense sticks on our website with Free UK delivery.
