Sheeel.com is celebrating their 1st year of success by giving away a special one-year anniversary gift to 365 customers! 200 gifts were already ‘Sheeeled’ at midnight and there will be 165 more for tomorrow between 11am – 1pm. All you have to do is place your order and just pay KD1 delivery charge.

Compared to all the other local deals websites that opened up past year, Sheeel.com is by far the best overall. In their first year of business, they had a deal for each of the 365 days and about 28,000 deals were ‘Sheeled’. So this is a very thoughtful way of giving back to your customers.

Sikkaa.com is a Kuwaiti social network website that targets local amateur football players. A user can open a profile as a football player, create a team or join another, challenge another team, play in real life and much more.

This website looks like a pretty good concept for the football players in Kuwait.

I just found out about an American R&B artist called JoBee who lives in Kuwait and began his music career from here. He is ex-military and last week he released a 19-track Deluxe Mixtape EP called Irresistible Me that features a lot of different music genres. In his interview he said that his experience and the culture in Kuwait inspired his music and made him push a little harder and become a better writer and singer.

He has been touring throughout the Middle East and Europe and is quite successful. His debut album Vocal Stimulation will be releasing early next year.

[Watch] JoBee’s “After the Club” ft. Dalivaa produced by Vybe Beatz, or you can support the artist and [Download] his Album for $7.95.

I spotted this website several times on Google and Facebook ads and today I got it in my email so I finally checked it out. Shalay is a local online marketplace where people can trade or rent chalets, jet skis, boats, yachts and gears for water sports and fishing.

The website is new and in its Beta version but there are a lot of listings for chalets and yachts for rent and quite a lot of boats and jet skis on sale.

There are a couple of things that could be improved though, for example, the site navigation is available in both English and Arabic but the listings are all in Arabic which could be a drawback for the majority of non-Arab folk here. They could also mention the price and availability of the chalets which would make it easier to book, rather than calling each listing to find out the price and whether its available on certain dates.

Overall it’s a good start, check it out [Here]
