The extent of my Transformers knowledge

October 23, 2007 | For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!

My son could tell you which Transformers dude is which, how many maneuvers each one requires to be changed from one form to another, and which ones are good and which ones are bad.

All I can tell you is that this here Cybertron Primus guy is half off at Amazon and finding him under the tree on Christmas morning just might cause the Transformers lover in your life to faint from joy.

For the cube-dwellers

Hot Hot Hot!

When I still worked in an office I absolutely loved the “demotivators” series from Despair, Inc. And look! Right now, all of their inspirational lithographs are on sale!

Makes a great gift for the not-so-hardworking person in your life, or as a great addition to any gift swap (white elephant, yankee swap) where you want to watch people fight over it.

Save on personal care organics

Hot Hot Hot!

In theory—you know, in a world where money is no object—I would go completely natural/organic in a heartbeat. It just seems like a good idea. In reality, I have to pick and choose where to spend the extra money on products I suspect are both better for my family and better for the earth.

Through the end of October, you don’t have to choose.

Right now you can take $10 off your qualifying $49+ organics purchase at Amazon, choosing from amongst a variety of products from Tom’s of Maine, Kiss My Face, Burt’s Bees, and more. Most of this stuff is already marked down, so applying the coupon on top of the reduced prices (and don’t forget that free shipping) is just the icing on the cake.

By the way—if you have a baby, or a baby to buy for? The Burt’s Bees Baby Bee line is amazing. Just sayin’.

Are you feeling lucky, punk?

Hot Hot Hot!

It’s Thing Fling’s one year anniversary, and to celebrate, they’re offering an Almost Mystery Box for $2.99. You’ll get a box with three items (what three items? who knows! it’s a mystery!), plus a $3 coupon good towards a future order. It’s practically risk-free!

It ought to be good for some stocking-stuffers and/or gag gifts, at the very least….

Indestructible backpack for under $10 shipped

For the kids, Hot Hot Hot!

Okay, this is probably not my favorite fabric ever, but still, it’s an LL Bean lifetime guarantee backpack for under $10. That’s pretty hard to beat.

Free candy at Kmart

Hot Hot Hot!

Several folks sent this one in to me (thanks, everyone!), and I guess now I have to go to Kmart. Just print out this coupon and you can go redeem it for a free bag of candy up until Halloween.

I suppose the idea is that then you give the candy away to trick-or-treaters. But if you kept it for yourself I doubt they’d come take it away. Just so you know.

Get free shipping at J. Crew

Quick Tips

Here’s a handy little tip via my good friend Susan, who happens to be a slave to J. Crew: If you go register on their site, they’ll email you a one-time use free shipping code.

That seems like a handy thing to know. Thanks, Susan!

Cheap make-up even cheaper

Hot Hot Hot!

Lots of you have been emailing me coupons for E.L.F. lately, and I keep filing them and meaning to post them and never getting around to it, with the result that now I have a whole list to share in one post. In other words, I totally meant to do that. Yes. Ahem.

If you’ve never done the E.L.F. thing, they’re a great place to get decent make-up, with most of their products costing just a buck. You could totally restock your make-up supply for less than a lipstick would cost you at a department store counter!

Anyway, here’s the codes:
EGRUSBK — brushes for half price (expires October 25th, 2007)
EPOL311-07 — free nail polish remover pads with nail polish purchase (expires October 31st, 2007)
EGASCW — $2 shipping on orders of $25+ (expires November 15th, 2007)
CAROLINA — half off orders up to $15 (expires January 1st, 2008)
NEW2ELF — 5% off any order size (expires January 1st, 2008)
SHIP45 — free shipping on $45+ (expires January 1st, 2008) (dude, I have no idea how you could spent $45 there, but enjoy if you do)

Dress your dude

October 22, 2007 | Hot Hot Hot!, What to Wear

Honestly, I don’t know how it could be possible that you read here and your husband or significant other (or yourself, if you’re a guy) is still in need of some nice dressy clothing, but assuming that this is somehow the case, you should check out the Two Day Sale over at Jos. A. Bank. Through tomorrow (October 23rd, 2007) they’re taking up to 60% off of, well, just about everything. (Cashmere’s 55% off, people. Think Christmas.)

Target is messing with me

Hot Hot Hot!

Hmmmm.

So I got this email from Target, saying that select clearance items now ship for free (through October 27th, 2007), but after ten minutes of poking around I haven’t found anything that has free shipping.

I mean, I assume something has free shipping. It’s sort of like a scavenger hunt, I suppose. Or maybe I just need more coffee.

(If you find something in the clearance with free shipping let me know. I’m not sure whether that will confirm or refute that I’m losing my mind, but I’ll take whatever clues I can get.)
