The kimono at www.japanesegifts.com are all fake - made for tourist to take home a cheap gift. If you want authentic kimono here are some of my favorite places to shop:
http://www.ichiroya.com/ - These people are wonderful and will work with you to get what ever you want/need, and the prices are wonderful. Check out their ebay shop to find most gorgeous formal and wedding kimono for average price of $98.
http://www.yamatoku.jp/classic/ - sometimes I can find better deals here, they don't have as big of a selection as Ichiroya though.
locale antique stores and thrift shops can have treasure finds on a rare occasion, but be careful of price and quality. I find most of my informal cotton kimono at thrift stores in the bath robe sections. I hope that helps.
