Our favorite family game on sale

Gonna post this one quickly before it disappears—Amazon currently has the Apples to Apples Party Box available for just $14.

This is our favorite game to play as a family, hands down. Good clean hilarious fun! And this version of it usually sells for about $25. Get it quick before they raise the price!

Changing Cyber Monday to Shoe Monday

I’ve got your Cyber Monday shoe deals right here, my pretties. Those earlier Reebok and Piperlime deals were just the warm-up.

Today at Famous Footwear it’s buy 1, get one half price; plus free shipping; plus coupon code CYBER20 takes another 20% off it all.

It’s 20% off nearly everything at Shoes.com and Shoebuy, today, too, with coupon code CYBER at either site.

And as for my perennial favorite, 6pm, there’s a new deal every hour, and that’s on top of today’s discounts on things like Reebok, Tsubo, New Balance, and more. 6pm is also currently giving free shipping on all orders of $100+.

Time to stock up!

In case there’s anything left at Children’s Place

It seems unlikely that anyone didn’t already hit the Black Friday sale, or the Black Friday Weekend sale, or (my favorite) the Fleece Frenzy event, but if you somehow missed all of those, or if—and I’ll admit, I’ve done this—you find yourself going back for “just a few more things,” today at Children’s Place you can use coupon code CYBER to celebrate Cyber Monday and take an additional 25% off your purchase. Coupon code FSHOLIDAY is still working for free shipping, too.

Not quite as good of a deal, maybe, but you know how I love them, too: If you spend $50+ at Crazy 8, today, they’ll take 20% off and give you free shipping. (Though I’m still a little miffed with them; they had the absolute cutest elf pajamas earlier this month and they sold out in the blink of an eye. Yeah, I’m bitter.)

Put a mouse in your stocking

This one claims not to be shipping for a couple of weeks, but stocking stuffer or not, it’s hard to beat $5 for an optical wireless mouse. I’m tempted to pick one up just to have a spare. (Or to have a mouse that travels with my laptop, so I can leave my regular one at home on my desk.)

Somewhat related: I could tell you how many order I’ve placed at Amazon in the past week, but then I’d have to kill you. Sorry.

Happy Cyber Monday!

It’s hard to imagine that today can top last Friday, but we’ll certainly try. Amazon started their Lightning Deals for the day at midnight Pacific, which is just unheard of and also, hi, a little crazy. (Don’t worry. I don’t see any must-have deals you missed. Yet.)

Let’s start off with this:

The Amazon Gold Box holds a 47-inch VIZIO HDTV for just $600 shipped. Great reviews on this model and a really nice price.

Take 40% off your order and get free shipping at Reebok today with coupon code CYBER40.

$99 refurbished NOOKs are back in stock at Buy.com (limit one per person).

Everything (well, almost everything; some exclusions apply) is 20% off at Piperlime today only with coupon code LUCKY20.

That should keep you busy long enough for me to get the kids off to school, yes? (Also: Whose idea was this school thing? I rather enjoy the almost-week of sloth….)

Another chance to NOOK

If you missed any of the recent NOOK deals and are still hoping to find one on the cheap, here you go: Right now Buy.com has refurbished 3G NOOKs for just $99 and free shipping.

You’ll probably have to pay sales tax, because the seller is actually Barnes & Noble. But you can save $5 if you pay via Google Checkout.

And unlike the recent Kindle deal, I’m pretty sure they have more than one of these available. Heh.

Charge up those wiimotes

We have an induction charger for our Wii remotes and I love it; it isn’t hard for the kids to fit the remotes into (lining up perfectly isn’t an issue), and the jackets needn’t be removed. Plus, it saves buying new batteries all the time.

Of course, I have it on good authority that Santa is bringing a couple of new Wii Remote Pluses, and then I don’t have enough recharging capacity anymore. Hrm.

So I went looking for another induction station. I found this one at Kohls, which is currently marked down from $40 to $16. Coupon code CONTACTFR is still giving free shipping on any order and code EXTRA20 can be stacked for another 20% off. Not a bad item for $13ish shipped if you’ve just gotten a Wii or expanded the number of remotes you need to charge.

933-piece kingdom of awesome

Target just marked this down, so Amazon went ahead and price-matched it: Get the LEGO Kingdom King’s Castle right now for just $70 shipped (30% off).

If you haven’t yet done the free Gund Bear deal, this is a great chance to pick one up. Just add a qualifying item to your cart with the castle to get your total up to $75—perhaps this little LEGO Knight’s Showdown set—and then the bear is yours, free. Just don’t forget to add it to your cart.

Alternatively, if you want just the castle and you live in a state without sales tax, you may be better off ordering the castle directly from Target and using coupon code UZXPI33P for an additional 10% off (shipping is free). The discount and sales tax are kind of a wash, for me, but maybe not for you.

Either way, it’s a heck of a deal on a really cool LEGO set.

You’ve got the cutest little BabyLegs

I have completely and utterly fallen in love with BabyLegs, well after they would’ve been useful for my own children. They’re adorable! They’re versatile! They’re the perfect baby gift, because they work for years and years, and are a quick fix for chilly legs or arms.

Go visit BabyLegs right now and search on CM. That will bring you to a page of Cyber Monday bundles (get in early, before tomorrow’s frenzy)—each has three pairs for just $10. Shipping should be free, too.

Pick ‘em up now, for the gift closet, and look like a big spender later. I won’t tell anyone you got them on sale.

Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion, please

This deal is hugely popular every time it comes around, so I’m posting it again (even though, yes, old-timers, I know you’ve seen it before): Right now Amazon has the complete Firefly Blu-ray set available for just $25 shipped.

It’s Joss Whedon. It’s Nathan Fillion. In short: It is yum. And as a bonus, you can buy it for your guy and be all “I know how much you enjoy science fiction!” and then just quietly drool over Nathan Fillion while you watch it, pretending that you bought it for him.

It’s true, I’m an evil genius.
