Feel22 – Self Pampering Gift Ideas for Valentine’s Day

By Rami on February 8, 2017 in Shopping

Valentine’s day is in less than a week, and to those looking to get their significant other a self pampering product, Feel22 is a new Lebanese e-commerce website to help you with gift ideas of that spirit.

From make up, to skincare, perfumes, and other beauty products, Feel22 has it all, and the reason I’m posting about it is mainly because my wife was quite impressed with their products selection, in addition to the fact that they have some brands that are pretty rare to find in the Lebanese market such as Sephora, so their catalogue is definitely worth a look.

I personally tried ordering from Feel22 and found the website to be very responsive. At checkout, you only need half a minute to create an account before you place your order, and they offer free shipping all over Lebanon within a day or two. You can also order items through a WhatsApp number if you like to with a cash on delivery option, and there’s a live chat support available throughout the day if you have any inquiries.

For those interested in trying their service, the awesome people at Feel22 were kind enough to provide me with a promo code for the blog readers to benefit from a 10% off any order. All you have to do is input the code PLUS961FEEL22 to get your instant discount.

Happy shopping!

Yamammy.com

By Rami on August 4, 2013 in Lebanon

My wife and I recently had a gorgeous baby, and if there’s anything I really agree on with Darine Sabbagh, the founder of a new website called “Ya Mammy“, it is that your house will quickly be filled with baby gear that were sometimes used for a month or less and you no longer need.

And that’s what Ya Mammy is trying to solve by serving as a parent to parent network for exchanging baby gear and toys and getting great bargain deals.

I’m sure it will be of good use for you whether you’re already a parent with some items you no longer need, or even a parent to be and looking for some good deals. So make sure to keep on checking the website or the Facebook page as it will be launching soon.

Group buying websites in Lebanon

By Rami on June 2, 2011 in Lebanon

Have you noticed the rise of group buying websites in Lebanon?

In case you don’t know what group buying is, it’s getting good deals at discounted prices on condition that a specific minimum number of people would make the purchase. For example, one of these websites can offer a discounted dinner at some restaurant (say $20 instead of $40) on condition that a minimum of 20 people purchase the deal. And usually you won’t be charged unless the minmum number of buyers is attained.

You might also be wondering how do these websites make money. To my knowledge, it works like referral programs, which means they get a small amount of money for each customer they refer to the deal.

While not all the discounts might seem tempting, but some deals are really good, I personally bought two entrance tickets to Laguava resort for $22 instead of $44 from one of these websites!

Here’s a list of the websites that get deals in Lebanon:

Any other one I forgot to mention?

By the way I’ve noticed that you don’t necessarily have to use a credit card on websites that use Bank Audi’s payment gateway, you can actually input a debit card number on condition that it is issued from Bank Audi. It worked for me on goSawa.

ArabNet goes live, and global!

By Rami on March 26, 2010 in Events

The long awaited and highly anticipated ArabNet conference kick started today, with over 500 participants attending the opening ceremony, including internet and tech leaders from around the world, investors, media, entrepreneurs, bloggers and professionals from the tech industry.

The opening ceremony and the conference activities that followed were broadcast live online, giving an opportunity for everyone who couldn’t attend to be part of this unique and first-of-its kind event to ever happen in the Middle East.

Under the direction of Samer Karam and a dedicated team of geeks and coders who worked 24 hours a day for the past week, a custom-designed, cutting-edge system was developed that allows for live broadcast of video, illustrations and tweets directly from the conference. The platform also integrates a voting mechanism to allow attendees to vote for their favorite startup or idea via the live website – live.arabnet.me

Throughout the past couple of months, ArabNet has been able to nurture a grassroots movement, an online community of enthusiasts through an outreach program intended to engage young entrepreneurs and techies across the Arab World. In less than two months, we have gathered over 1,000 followers on twitter and more than 600 fans on facebook.

40 top-notch speakers, 11 supporting partners, 18 media partners, 35 startups, 50 ideas, 25 ambassadors, 12 official bloggers, and over 300 decision makers, investors, and entrepreneurs from across the MENA, Europe, and Silicon Valley have come together gather today at the Habtoor Grand Hotel to network and discuss emerging opportunities in Arab web business. Even before the conference started, the #ArabNetME twitter feed was overwhelmed with tweets from all over the world from people who believed in ArabNet’s mission. And just a few hours later, following the opening ceremony, ArabNet was trending globally on the site!

A huge thanks goes to Beshr Kayyali and Mohammad Saleh Kayali from hyperlinkpodcast.com, an ArabNet media partner, who have helped in setting up the live micro-site, as well as Maya Zankoul, the famous Lebanese illustrator who is live illustrating the conference, as well as to official ArabNet bloggers and ambassadors, and the millions of tweeters and enthusiasts from the world over who tweeted, messaged, and voiced their support in more ways than one.
Without them, ArabNet could not have gone global!
