Give the gift that keeps on giving … and don’t break the bank while doing it!

Dec. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- From choosing paint colors to picking furniture, we’ve all been there – frustrated, overwhelmed and over budget!  This holiday season pay it forward – with an online Style File design gift certificate.  In varying denominations starting at just $15 USD, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.

What's a Style File? It's the perfect blend of an interior designer + a beautifully decorated room ...without the hassle of booking appointments, spending gobs of money on furniture, paying an hourly design fee and waiting 12-16 weeks for the furniture! Users pick the room pay a flat fee for the online design package and communicate online with a designer showing them pictures of their space; within days, this design roadmap to the room is back in the user’s inbox. From window treatments to flooring and layout to exactly what furniture you'll need to recover or purchase, users can then execute it at their leisure.  Better yet, Users can even purchase the products through RemoteStylist.com at a steep discount to what they would pay retail.  All they need to do is meet the delivery man at their front door for installation.

In whittling down “The To-Buy For” list, a Style File Gift Certificate is perfect for:  

THE FRAT BOY
Your brother/son/boyfriend/friend is still living like a frat boy and it needs to stop. Show him that having a well-designed, fresh space doesn’t mean having to grow up. It just means that he’ll be able to find things…and actually have girls over without scaring them off.

THE SUPERMOM
She works hard, she plays hard, and in between she does everything for everyone else. It’s no surprise her living room looks like a bomb just went off, and her escape from the world (aka her bedroom) surely could use a major update.  Show her how it feels to take a little time for herself.

THE GRADUATE
For the son or daughter living on their own for the first time – start them off right! Instead of just passing along the old furniture in the basement that was marked for the next garage sale, knock their socks off with the gift of affordable design and re-working that furniture to suit their style!

THE CO-WORKER
Although your relationship only takes place during the hours of 9 to 5 each day, you can just tell by the state of their cubicle that they could probably use a little design direction at home. Think beyond the coffee-mug-full-of-Hershey-Kisses at the next office gift exchange!

THE NEW HOMEOWNER
They are ecstatic to finally own their very own home! Little do they know, opening that door leads to one expense after another. Ease the pain by making a dent in their décor and furniture budget. Guaranteed they will be so grateful for the direction, they’ll surely give up the master suite when you next visit!

THE SECRETARY/ASSISTANT
They arrive at the office before you’ve hit the snooze button, and stay long after the dinner hour. They don’t technically have to feed your dog, pick up your dry cleaning, or be your shoulder to cry on when the universe is against you; but they always do. They manage your life, your work, and your coffee intake so why not show them you care about their comfort and happiness outside of the office too? An RS gift certificate to spruce up their home will make their limited days off that much sweeter.

THE EMPTY-NESTERS
Your parents are still living in your childhood home; yes, the one with the rotary phone, the owl figurines, and the wallpaper you once tore in protest because they wouldn’t let you go to the “best” party of the year. You may not be able to convince them to go on the next HGTV reality reno show, but you can get them started with a fresh new space, and a new lease on life.

THE DESIGN GURU
The Style at Home junkie in your life – yes the one who drags you to furniture stores, design showrooms, antique markets, and freaking church bazaars – will die when they open the gift that shows you have been listening to them all this time! Working one on one with a design team, getting up-to-the-minute décor tips and tricks, and scoring designer pricing on thousands of items will be the gift that keeps on giving!
