It was nearly 7:30 pm by the time Emma was able to leave work on Friday evening, and she was looking forward to nothing more than
going home, changing into her favorite pair of sweat pants and slippers, and relaxing in front of the TV with a steaming cup of
espresso.
As a veterinarian at a regional animal clinic, Emma loved her job, and even with the long hours she often put in, she wouldn’t
trade her profession for anything. Still, days like today made her especially thankful for lovely times called “weekends”. And this
weekend, she intended to relax until she got tired of relaxing!
As she slid into the front seat of her car, eager to put the day’s work behind her, she suddenly remembered that tonight was the
night she had intended to go shopping for a gift for her friend Kayla’s housewarming party. Although the party wasn’t until the following
Friday evening, she hated fighting the weekend shopping crowds and tried to avoid doing so at all costs.
Emma frowned as she pulled out of the clinic’s driveway. Should she battle her fatigue tonight and go select a gift for Kayla? Or
should she relax this evening and fight the crowds tomorrow. Neither option was appealing, but a strong yawn convinced her that
anything other than complete rest tonight was out of the question.
Arriving home, Emma brewed herself a cup of coffee from the espresso machine she had bought for herself her first week on the job.
How she loved it! Bypassing the television, Emma sat down in front of her computer to check her e-mail before settling down for the
evening. Suddenly, she had an idea. If she loved her own so much, why not purchase one as a gift for Kayla? In fact, what could
be a better housewarming gift?
Emma had bought her own super automatic espresso maker online from the
comfort of her own home, and she remembered how easy it had been to research the various makes and models and select the perfect one for
her.
Excited about her idea, Emma quickly typed in the website addresses for two of her favorite sites, EspressoZone.com and EveryEspressoMachine.com. She remembered that these sites carried a wide array of Saeco, Capresso, and DeLonghi
models. Knowing that Kayla preferred user-friendly appliances that are not too complicated, Emma determined that a pump-driven one would be
perfect for her friend.
Looking through the online selection, Emma realized that she had forgotten how many choices were available! Wanting to ensure that
she selected the best one, Emma decided to read through several customer reviews. She also remembered that Kayla, always the planner, was
meticulous about product warranties, so Emma took extra time to research the best warranty.
Taking the final sip of her own small cup, Emma paused to get a refill. Usually, one cup in the evening hit the spot, but tonight,
her excitement over buying this gift for Kayla had whet her taste buds for a second serving!
As she returned to her computer after a refill, she suddenly realized that with only one week left until the housewarming party,
could she be sure that the present would arrive in time?
Quick Delivery Options
Clicking on the shipping info link, Emma read with relief that priority shipping was available and she could have it delivered in
as few as 2-3 business days. She also saw that if she placed an order of $99 or more from EspressoZone.com and chose standard shipping, she would pay no shipping fees and her product would arrive in 3-7
business days! Although for this order, Emma decided to go with priority shipping, she tucked away the free shipping information in her
mind for future use.
Eager to place her order using the secure online connection, Emma settled on a beautiful automatic espresso machine with stainless
steel accents. Although she had only seen Kayla’s new home once, Emma knew that its design would fit perfectly not only with the
kitchen decor but also, more importantly, with Kayla’s fun but classic personality.
After clicking “submit” on her completed order, Emma sat back in her chair with a smile. She was happy with her purchase and
eager to see the look on Kayla’s face when she opened the gift next Friday. Satisfied that she had been able to avoid the crowds of
weekend shoppers, Emma saw that she still had time to curl up and watch her favorite DVD before going to bed. She popped the DVD into
the player and sat down in her comfortable, overstuffed lounge chair.
As she settled down into the chair’s softness, she thought with anticipation of the following Friday. Now all that was left
was to pick out an outfit, and Emma wanted to look especially nice, not only for Kayla’s sake but also because Kayla had mentioned that her
friend Hayden would also be attending. Kayla had been trying to set her two friends up for several weeks. Drifting to sleep,
Emma smiled at the thought of seeing Hayden again…maybe next weekend would be at turning point for them, too!
