New Online Shopping Directory Launches with Free Gift and Competition

A UK-based site has started up to try and help online shoppers find the best deals on the net. To celebrate the launch, they are holding a competition and giving away a free eBook as well.

Manchester, UK  -  August 1, 2007 -- Online Shopping can be a somewhat long-winded task, as the user trawls through site after site of offers looking for the best deal, and for a company they can trust. What can start out as an easy mission to buy a gift can end up taking up precious time. Now a new site has launched to give shoppers a quick reference guide to the best sites and offers over a multitude of categories.

http://www.top5picks.co.uk is now open for visitors and features a superb range of reviews of many of the best online retail sites out there. As you may be able to tell from the name of the site , Top 5 Picks, the site narrows down the sites so that it just displays what the panel of expert online shoppers feel are the best five sites in that category.

The categories are as diverse as home and car insurance, laptops and computers to toys and games, florists and even as specialised as a guide to where you can pick up the new Harry Potter book on the cheap.

The aim of the site is to always be adding new categories so that the content is always evolving, and there are plans to put into place customer reviews of all the featured shops in time.

Also to celebrate the launch of the site Top 5 Picks is giving away a free eBook, and holding a competition, both themed around poker.

Online Poker is growing fast in the UK as more shows are on the television, and people are eager to try and emulate their new heroes by playing online.

Top 5 Picks have teamed up with well known online poker player 'The Drifter' to offer his eBook for free on the site. Previously available online for £16.99 'The Beginners Guide To Texas Hold'em Poker ' is a great way to get into online poker, as it explains all the rules and strategies to the game that you need to get started, and also has some fine tips on how to move your game on to an intermediate level, as well as mange your cash while you are playing.

As well as this the site is also holding a competition with a £25 fully funded poker account as the prize, to get a newcomer started on the way in poker.

The competition is free to enter and the details of the competition are at http://www.top5picks.co.uk/competition.html
