Archive for November, 2007
I have this thing I do; I generally don’t buy anything in December. You could say it has to do with taking a stand or just avoiding the melee during the holiday frenzy, but that’s not true. For the most part it’s just because I’m done with my holiday shopping and I need a break. But I do think it was awfully nice of Amazon to have their last Friday Sale of November on the very last day of the month. I do like to go out with a bang, you know.
Got a Christmas baby? Wait, let me try that again. Got a drooly Christmas baby? How about some Christmas bibs
? A 2-pack for $6 with free shipping is pretty good.
I need a miter saw setup like I need a hole in my head, but even I can appreciate that that’s an amazing deal if you did want such a thing. (Now… umm… go miter something.)
Likewise, my husband would be thrilled to find this pressure washer under the tree, but unfortunately, he’s married to me and I am not interested in finding out how many squirrels we can blow off the roof.
Need a sewing machine? Sometimes that whole “price too low to display” thing is a crock (I particularly liked the item I looked at yesterday that was a whole 2% off when I clicked the magic link to display the price), but this machine is actually about half off. (Or, if you’re all fancy-like, this serger is 57% off.)
Tis the season for flannel sheets; lots of sizes and colors from which to choose, and great reviews. (Also, that rhymes, which makes it even better.)
I have seen this Cuisinart food processer cost more in a refurbished version; this is the best price I’ve even seen it at. (Also? I lurve my Cuisinart. I whisper sweet nothings to it occasionally. It ties for favorite kitchen gadget with my stick blender.) (Please don’t tell the stick blender.)
This Corningware set is only $14.99 after rebate! Too bad I already spent all of my money on Pyrex storage. (Speaking of Pyrex….)
I’m still tempted by the unbreakable french press. For $9.99, it’s hard to say no.
That’s a big Christmas tree.
Geez, even Rachael Ray’s knives are cheerful-looking.
Have a happy Friday, everyone!

The current Amazon Gold Box deal is for a bluetooth keyboard for your PDA. 81% off!
Personally, I just remain chained to my computer 24/7, so I don’t need such a thing. But maybe you do.

Pretty reader Aubri let me know that right now you can get free shipping at Victoria’s Secret through December 2nd, 2007, with coupon code FRSHIP.
Of course, I titled this post “ship your dainties for free” and then clicked over to the site and my retinas were burned by those neon polka-dotted pajamas on their splash page. Not quite the daintiness I was expecting. Ahem. But to each their own.
[Edited to add: My bad, I think I typoed the code originally. Try it now.]

Is there a special someone in your life who is, you know, nuts and therefore looking forward to either a nice romp in the snow or climbing a mountain or somesuch foolishness? I bet you could find them something great over at Eastern Mountain Sports.
(Me, my favorite winter sport is sipping cocoa by the fireplace. Feel the burn!)
Right now their Friends & Family sale is on, and you can take 20% off of almost everything with coupon code SP4FF through December 4th, 2007. That’s in addition to their closeouts sale currently going on, and the current GearBucks promotion ($20 card for every $100 spent). It’s a veritable savingspalooza, even if looking at their site does just make me tired.

I’m not sure I want to buy anything edible from a place called The Graveyard Mall. Just sayin’.
Nevertheless, I’ve ordered (non-edible) things from them before, so if you find yourself desperately in need of a dozen giant Hershey’s kisses I guess they’re your guy.

Through December 19th, 2007, you can get free shipping on your $100+ order at Nordstrom
by using coupon code HOLIDAY.
And just because I love you that much, here’s a direct link to the clearance items 70% off or more
. Lots of cute stuff in there for normal people prices rather than typical Nordstrom prices. Heh.

Okay, this is a deal only in the sense that it’s 50% off, not in the sense that it’s actually cheap. Still, if you are as charmed by this Lego holiday train
as I am, now would be the time to grab it… it’s marked down to $44.98.
I’m done shopping for my kids, but if my son found this under the tree I’m pretty sure he would become delirious with glee.

Oh, wait. Maybe it’s that I can always use some therapy. I’m always getting those two confused!
Regardless, if you’re feeling like you could use a little hairapy, go get some free Sunsilk.
They’ll send you a trio of Hydra TLC products, which sounds like an extra-caring version of a monster from Greek mythology, to me, but what do I know. (Clearly I need hairapy.)

Whoops, I somehow missed this one when it came out a couple of days ago. Through today only (November 28th, 2007) ship your entire J. Crew order for free with coupon code FS1126. No minimum necessary, so if you had your eye on one little thing this would be the time to snap it up.
Sorry for the late notice. The deals! They’re overwhelming me! Can’t… keep… up…. (Oh, okay. You caught me—I have been having a life on the side, here. It won’t happen again.)

Tandem bikes are one of those things I always look at and think would be kind of neat to have, but it seems like a ridiculous extravagance.
Today I’ve been looking at this Kent dual drive tandem bike, which is down to just $199 with free shipping. That’s less than you can get a regular bike for, most of the time. The reviews are mixed (the main complaint seems to be difficulty putting it together), so definitely read through them if you’re considering it.
My nearly-eight-year-old seems determined to never learn how to ride a bike. I wonder if we could do family rides if I put him on the back of one of these? On the other hand, maybe I should save the $199 for further therapy for him. Decisions, decisions….
