As the BBQ season takes shape, Twenga, the open shopping
platform with the largest selection online, offers the most convenient accessories for onthe-
go barbecue fans.
Portable and folding grills are an ideal option for grilling when away from home, as they
are light and easy to carry. Grill lights are a must-have for those late night barbecues and
some models can even be clipped on a table or mounted directly onto the grill. Midnight
grill addicts will also appreciate using light-up tools to be sure to master their technique,
even in the dark.
A successful barbequer requires a variety of tools, which is why barbecue sets come in
handy when travelling since they are composed of all the essentials. To be sure they are
within reach at the crucial moment, these tools can be slipped nicely into the pockets of a
BBQ apron-a classic accessory for any serious griller.
Finally, cooking aficionados who seem to have it all when it comes to barbecues will
appreciate receiving a branding iron as a gift to add a personal touch to their steaks.

The French Open, proudly referred to as Roland Garros by the French, is the only one of the four Grand Slam tournaments played on clay courts. All eyes are on number two seed, Novak Djokovic, who this year is entering the tournament with an unbeaten record of 37-0, while the number one ranked player, Rafael Nadal, will be fighting to win his sixth French Open championship. Twenga has over 8,000 tennis rackets to choose from including the professionals’ choice of brands, such as Nadal’s Babolat racket and Djokovic’s Wilson K factor racket.

Last year, the women’s title went to the Italian player Francesca Schiavone, making her the first Italian woman to win a Grand Slam, but this year there is no clear leader. As the Williams sisters dropped out of the tournament due to injury, their shocking fashion statements will be missed. Fortunately, Twenga has a wide range of tennis skirts and dresses to feel like a pro and dress to impress on and off the court. Men and women alike should complete the tennis look with a spacious tennis bag and tennis cap. Federer fans in particular will be happy to know that the star’s signature hat is available in a variety of colors.

As May 8th is approaching, Twenga celebrates American mothers by offering online shoppers the largest selection of Mother’s Day gifts. Boxes of chocolates, perfume and greeting cards are classic Mother’s day presents and are always appreciated by moms. But for those who truly want to impress her, here are some out of the box ideas.
If she likes nature and gardening, a potted plant is an interesting alternative to traditional fresh flower bouquets. Carnivorous plants like the Venus fly trap are fascinating and unexpected gifts! If she enjoys relaxing in the garden during those Spring days, she will be delighted with a new hammock.
Home-loving moms will be fond of useful household presents, such as mood-lifting light therapy lamps or an ultrasonic aromatherapy diffuser to create a serene atmosphere. A raclette grill or a terra cotta tagine would make ideal gifts for cooking aficionados who love to experiment with international cuisine.
Moms who like to pamper themselves will definitely appreciate a facial sauna or a foot massager. If she spends a lot of time in her car, a massage seat will help relieve her from back pain and stress.

Over 19,000 Offers to Celebrate Easter

Finding Easter decorations will not be a problem with more than 11,000 offers including rare finds such as an Easter Bunny topiary or chocolate-free Easter baskets for dogs.
American Easter traditions revolve mostly around children and involve dying Easter eggs, participating in an Easter egg hunt, and offering an Easter basket full of chocolate bunnies and Easter candy. Kids will never be disappointed upon arriving to an Easter brunch and greeting a relative dressed in an Easter bunny costume, which is also available on Twenga.

Easter Sunday around the world shows a myriad of traditions, some of which might even be considered bizarre from an American standpoint. In 1991 there was a successful campaign in Australia to replace the Easter Bunny with the Easter Bilby, an animal native to the country, as the rabbit is viewed in a negative light for destroying crops. German towns traditionally have a bonfire, referred to as the Easter fire, the Saturday before Easter Sunday to welcome the warmer months. American children might be less intrigued with the traditional Polish Easter baskets, which are full of hard-boiled eggs, sausage, ham and bread instead of sweets.
