Many couples get engaged every day and, unfortunately, some of them fail to even make it up to the marriage. This leaves couples with unused engagement rings, for which they are offered very low prices when they try to return it to the shop they purchased it from. This might come as a disappointment to them, but there is a unique online store that deals with these types of situations. I Do, Now I Don’t purchases unused engagement rings for a higher price than the one offered on the market. After cleaning them up, they resell it to customers looking for cheap and good products. Thus, both seller and buyer get a good deal. Having started with engagement rings, this business now deals with other jewelry items as well.

With retro scalloped trim and wood paneling to add to the vintage look, this mobile store came into effect in 2010.

Thanking someone for a favor or any other reason is common, but expressing your thanks is kind of hard to achieve without a card or some other type of prop. There is an online business by the name of Thankster that allows you to create personalized “thank you” cards with unique handwriting and other neat features. Many business owners have employed this service to send personalized notes to their partners or customers, which Thankster sent out as letters after the desigining phase was completed.
