Never forget the birthday of a god-child, grandparent or sibling with free Birthday Reminder Service
(03/08/2009)

Most of us fail to remember the special days of people closest to us. Anniversaries, birthdays, Mothering Sunday - the list is so long that it’s not surprising diaries get in a muddle. Whether you’re too busy, or simply too forgetful, help is at hand.

The Handpicked Collection’s Birthday Reminder Service allows you to register the birthdays, and other special events, of people important to you. It's free, takes seconds to set up, and you’ll be emailed a reminder shortly before the big day (and can choose whether you need a couple of weeks, a week or day’s notice).

What makes it different to other reminder services is that you can input information about the significant person: their age, sex, and amount you might spend on a present for them. In your email reminder, you’ll receive eight great present suggestions uniquely tailored to the recipient - and to your pocket - that are guaranteed to score brownie points (and make it look like you have really put some thought into it!).

If you like one of the suggestions, add a gift message and address, and the job is done. It could not be simpler - and presents are delivered within 48 hours of ordering.

You can even request to be alerted by text (also free), so that if you are not at your computer for a few days, you won’t miss the alert and can hop on-line from your Blackberry or iPhone or nip down to the shops.
