To me, it’s not really Christmas unless there’s some lip balm in the very tippy-toe of your stocking. I’m pretty sure that’s in the bible, somewhere.
It’s even better if the lip balm is holiday-themed, like these ones from Avon. And what do you know—right now you can ship any size order from Avon for free with coupon code MSNANY22.
(You don’t even have to use it on lip balm if you don’t want to.)

Alright, here’s the deal: I’m going to be in meetings most of the afternoon, but I wanted to give you a head’s up on some scuttlebutt I came across.
Supposedly Amazon is going to be releasing a new shipment of wii consoles
today (October 31st) at 1:00 pm Eastern. Is it true? Well, I’m not sure, but I did read it in several different locations, so I think there’s a decent chance that yes, it is.
If it is true, that there link above should take you to ‘em. And then you can be a much nicer parent than I am, because my children are going to be remaining the only children on the planet (so they contend) who are not getting a wii for Christmas this year.

I don’t usually repeat a deal from just the previous day, but as several folks complained yesterday about the price going back up, I wanted to point out that the price on the Fisher-Price Jumperoo has dropped back down to $49.99 shipped, again. Go go go!

I realize this is the sort of deal that isn’t for everyone, so just skip along to the next thing if it’s not for you. But given that it might be of interest to some folks I’m going to go ahead and post it and hope that it doesn’t lead to a discussion of religion. Pretty please. Thank you!
Anyway! Through November 3rd, 2007, there’s two specials to note over at Family Christian: First, that there’s a big $5 bin of kids’ stuff, and second, that there’s also a big bin of books marked down to $7.97.
Right now they’re also featuring $.99 shipping for a limited time.
I’ll mention, too, that Family Christian tends to carry a nice assortment of Willow Tree ornaments (which I luuurve), always at reasonable prices, and often ones that are sold out elsewhere. Santa has been known to put those in our stockings, ’round here….

Don’t forget to check out the JC Penney Wednesday Deals, if you’re so inclined.
This week seems to feature mostly pajamas and dining room furniture. Because… ummm… okay, I’ve got nuthin’. I have no idea why.

As we’ve discussed before, Kohls is one of those sites that always has some sale or other; it’s just a matter of hitting the right sale with the right available coupon codes.
Several of you mailed me yesterday to point out that one of their big 50% off events was going on, and then I checked over and saw that there was a pretty good assortment in the clearance section, too, but I couldn’t find a shipping special, which to me pretty much killed the deal because their regular shipping is outrageous.
But this morning I found that coupon code MVC1563 will give you free shipping on any size order if you use your Kohls card. So there you go. (FYI: You can use two codes per order. There aren’t any other coupons around that I’m allowed to share, but if you were able to find a percent off coupon, you could use both.) Sorry, I’m a dummy… the code is expired. Whoops.
Prices are good through tomorrow (November 1st, 2007). Happy shopping!

Dunno how long this one will last, but here you go:
If you’re in the market for a stationary entertainer for a baby, you can’t go wrong with the Fisher-Price Jumperoo
(it’s like an Exersaucer, but bouncier). And you really can’t go wrong with $49.99 delivered.
Great reviews, great way to let your little one work out some energy, and as the MasterCard commercials say—not having to lug it home? Priceless!

I think a taco only cost a buck or so, anyway, but apparently you can get one for free at Taco Bell today. Just in case you feel the need to stop for a taco but are broke. Or something.

Hey, Shutterfly is running a sweepstakes and you can enter once a day through November 4th, 2007. Win some dough or win some free photo stuff. It’s worth a shot, right?

Before anyone says it, I’m pretending it’s still summer. Shut up. Actually, if you can buy ahead on things like this, you already know that off-season is the way to save the bucks.
These What’s What Women’s Tankerchief Slides
will be $14.89 shipped from Endless, but the very same shoes
are $55.95 over at Zappos, which means that on a pricematch (remember to make sure both places have the size/color you want) you’ll end up getting them for under $11.
It looks like plenty of colors and sizes are in stock, too.
(Yes, this is what I do for fun.)
