This giveaway is sponsored by Luvocracy. Thanks, Luvocracy!

You all know how much I adore Pinterest. It’s such a great place for curating inspiration, crafts, and recipes. The one thing it is NOT great for, however, is shopping. I get really bummed when I go to purchase an item I’ve pinned, only to find out that the item hasn’t been in stock for months.

Luvocracy is a new social sharing site that is all about shopping and sharing the products you love – basically, Pinterest for shopping! Once you sign up, you can create different collections with items from all over the internet. Just about anything you find online that’s available for purchase can be added to your collections. When you find something you want to purchase (either through something you’ve added to your own collection, or something you just found when you were surfing Luvocracy), you can buy it directly through the site.

The possibilities I’ve thought of are endless. I have collections for kids’ clothes, the house, and hair goods, to name a few. I also have a collection of all the things I bought for James’ nursery, and I’m going to start creating collections for all of my party themes. I start coming up with ideas WAY in advance, and it will be great to be able to handle all of my transactions in one place. I’ve been working on a school collection for Annie since she’s starting preschool soon, although I might have gotten a little carried away and started adding stuff for her and James that they won’t need for several years…

Back to School

I also really like that they have a dedicated team of “shopping assistants” that will search the internet for the best possible price for an item. So for example, if you saved a pair of Nike running shoes to a collection, a shopping assistant will look everywhere to make sure you’re getting the lowest possible price. Plus, Luvocracy takes care of that annoying “out of stock” problem by not displaying items that aren’t currently available for purchase. YAY.

As if this wasn’t enough, if someone else buys an item from one of your collections, you get a small commission. Considering how excited I get when someone repins something I’ve posted, this pretty much pushes me over the edge.
