Early Trends in High-End Gifts That Last, Cataloguer Reports BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers are paying top dollar for gifts they perceive as having quality construction and which last longer, especially in the category of home furnishings. Homeowners are showing a growing trend in making key purchases for their homes as opposed to buying multiple, less important items. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20031028/NYFNSM13 ) Catalog Company Spirit Elements, Inc. is seeing a rapid increase for large items such as sheds, gazebos and kids' playhouses. According to Seth Chernoff, co-owner of Spirit Elements, these are items that have been transformed in recent years by updated design technology. They can be assembled in hours by almost anyone. See http://www.spiritelements.com/ . "People don't want to make a poor investment in a major purchase," says Chernoff. "They want beauty, quality, and ease of assembly. Homeowners demand that kind of product, and we offer exceptional furnishings in each category we represent." Gifts such as handcrafted pellet stoves, indoor wall waterfalls and designer pet homes are popular this year. "We bend over backwards for our customers, and we also provide value in the process," says Chernoff. Spirit Elements is offering customers free shipping and no tax throughout the holiday season. This is important because Chernoff says, "Some of our larger items weigh over 2500 lbs, such as large cedar garden sheds, pool tables, or gazebos. We take the mystery and headache out of shopping, and we make our customers feel special." Spirit Elements' business began several years ago when co-owners Seth and Stacey Smith Chernoff merged Stacey's retail consulting business of 11 years with technology from Seth's interactive development agency of six years. Spirit Elements quickly became one of the largest catalog and Internet retailers of high-end home and garden products in the US. Spirit Elements is a Catalog Company selling unique home furnishings. The company specializes in exclusive large and small, hard to find high-quality items such as cedar cabins and gazebos, indoor and outdoor fountains, artisan doors and designer pet homes.
