CYBER-BOUTIQUE SPEEDS GIFTS TO MOM FROM
A FRENCH PRINCE AND EXCLUSIVE SPAS

(ALEXANDRIA, VA - April 1998) For those short on time who want to send mom a unique Mother's Day gift, the Netique® Gift Boutique has just published its 1998 special collection of elegant Mother's Day Gifts on its internet site (http://netique.com).

From a Prince in France, Netique offers a new line of gardening accessories inspired by finds from one of the Prince's castles, sure to please the gardening enthusiast. With a gift of bath oil, potpourri, mineral salts and incense like those used in exclusive spas, a grateful son or daughter can turn a mother's home into a pampering, luxurious retreat. For the artistic, chocoholic mother, Netique offers a gilt-framed chocolate bar that looks like a Monet painting and chocolate-framed Victorian edible pansies. These and other unusual gifts from around the world are featured throughout Netique's online catalog. Netique also offers gifts for graduation, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other special occasions.

Netique caters to those who enjoy giving unique gifts but who lack the time to leisurely browse boutiques looking for the perfect gift for a special loved one, client or employee. Within minutes, gift givers can select, purchase, gift wrap, and ship gifts from the comfort of the home or office. As one grateful customer wrote, "You just saved me about 4 hours worth of work, when you consider driving, selecting a gift, wrapping, mailing...."

Each gift on the Netique web site has been carefully selected for its uniqueness and quality. Netique's first priority is customer satisfaction, providing rapid responses to inquiries, confirmation of orders, and a satisfaction guarantee. The site is easy to navigate, and all gifts are displayed in clear, professionally photographed images. Same-day delivery services are available on weekdays in the Washington, D.C. area.

Equipped with a secured server for credit card purchases, Netique also offers both a toll-free phone number (1-800-WEB-GIFT) and a fax number (1-703-689-3703) for those hesitant to submit credit card information online.

Netique was founded in 1995 by attorney Dianne Mayfield, co-author of the award-winning business book, The Entrepreneur's Road Map to Business Success. Ms. Mayfield says "In starting Netique, I wanted to create an environment where everyone is happy. The gift givers are happy about sending tokens of their love or respect. The gift recipients are happy to be remembered through thoughtful gifts. The creators of the gifts are happy that their exquisite products are being enjoyed. And we are happy to be a part of the process. For me, Netique is truly a business with heart."
