Because nothing says awesome like Threadless

If you’ve been around here for any length of time at all, you know my love affair with Threadless runs deep. Their shirts compose a large segment of my kids’ wardrobes, and I occasionally get something for myself, too. Love ‘em.

Right now they’re offering free shipping on orders of $25+ with coupon code SHIPSHIPHOORAY. While they’re not having a “hey, just about everything is $10!” sale at the moment, if you go into the sale section, there are plenty of $10 and $12 options to be had.

If you are new to Threadless, please do check the size charts before ordering. I think most of their shirts run small, and would recommend going up a size (or maybe even two), depending. The hoodies seem to run more true to size.

Heads up for mama-related savings

If you have young kids and buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, you might be interested in this offer of theirs: Right now if you buy a qualifying parenting book you’ll receive an exclusive coupon book with purchase, good for up to $100 worth of savings on Amazon on various baby, mom, and home items.

It’s a bit of a gamble, of course. There’s no telling what the coupons will be, and it’s doubtful you’d use all of them (saving the full $100). On the other hand, it looks like the qualifying books start at around $8, and I’d bet good money that there’s some significant diaper/wipes coupons in that coupon book, so you may recoup your purchase pretty quickly if you’re buying those sorts of things. Just a hunch.

Now all I need is an offer where I buy a book about teenagers and then get $100 worth of coupons on food.

Woot makes me laugh (again)

Hey, if you’re a die-hard Wootaholic (yes, that’s totally a real thing), check out today’s Woot offering—it’s Woot-opoly! I can’t stop giggling over the fact that one of the tokens is a Bag Of Crap. (No, really, they call it that. I’m not being offensive. I mean, not intentionally.) Sure, it’s $20, which isn’t cheap, but maybe the humor is worth it to you.

If you want an actual deal over there, today, check out Kids.Woot for an assortment of coordinating beach towel/tote options. Perfect for heading into the warmer weather, and maybe even a great birthday present option (hello, gift closet!) if you’re dealing with the tween/teen set.

Wackiness for less

Tell me it’s not just me… those slippers that are animals that pop up while you walk are kind of terrifying, yes? The commercials scare me. But both of my kids (teens, no less) think they’re awesome.

Well, I can tell you that there is no slipper on the planet that’s $35 worth of awesome to me. But with Wacky Walkers (a knock-off of the As Seen On TV brand, I think) just $10 shipped today at Tanga, I could probably get over my phobia and grab a pair or two.

If you’ve never seen these before, prepare to be disturbed. You’re welcome.

Skylanders expansion with a shrunken price

I… do not really understand Skylanders. I admit it. When it became the “hot thing” I steered my video-game-loving child in the other direction and may have been known to randomly shout “Hey, is that a Minecraft mod??” to distract him. I have no shame.

Nevertheless, my understanding is that it’s the Greatest! Game! Ever!! and you need various characters to expand your gameplay. Pretty tricky of the game inventors. And each character is normally at least $10, which seems… well, a little much.

Right now Amazon has many of the Skylanders Single Character Packs marked down to just $5.99, like Sprocket here. You can click through to find other reduced characters, like Whirl Wind, Stump Smash, Sonic Boom, Drill Sergeant, and more. If you have to buy ‘em, you might as well get ‘em for 40% off.

FABulous LEGO storage

The ROOM COPENHAGEN boutique is back once again at Fab.com (registration required to view their boutiques—use a junk email address if you’re leery), and that means LEGO lovers can rejoice! Use their brick-shaped containers to store actual LEGOs, or use ‘em for anything else.

I especially love the minifig head containers, but then again, I’m a little warped.

A good deal if you can get it

I’m not going to lie; I find the ever-increasing restrictions on coupons for Gap a little tiresome. “Hey, here’s a coupon! But you can’t use it on jeans! Or baby stuff! Or a million other things!” Still, if you want something that qualifies for the coupon, it’s nice to have.

With that in mind: Today (Wednesday, February 20th, 2012) only, use coupon code GAPGIFT to take 20% off your order of qualifying items. The good news? Most of the stuff that’s already on sale qualifies, and you know there’s nothing I like better than a sale on sale stuff.

(Don’t forget—orders of $50+ ship for free, automatically, or add anything from Piperlime to your shared basket to get free shipping on any size order.)

And again, because why not?

Did you miss it last week? Did your kid grow a couple of inches overnight? Never fear, Children’s Place isn’t about to let a holiday slide by without a sale! In addition to their markdowns, use coupon code JACKSON today for an additional 20% off, plus every order ships for free today because Lincoln would’ve wanted that. I mean, I assume.

If you have a Kohls charge card, save 30% on your purchase with coupon code CUPID30, plus you can get free shipping on any order with coupon code LUV2BMVC. No Kohls card? You can still save an additional 10% with coupon code NEW2369.

Check out the Bonus Buys—if you can use that 30% coupon, this could be your perfect opportunity to get that big-ticket item like a Keurig, a Dyson, new cookware, whatever.

Me, I’m livin’ large. I think we’re getting a new shower curtain. I know. It’s all crazy up in here.
