Leave it to 6pm
Well, 6pm.com already offers free shipping on every order, so how could they possibly step it up for Free Shipping Day? By offering a free shipping upgrade on orders of $100+, of course—get it in time for Christmas.
Plus, today’s Holiday Blitz item is a super cute polka-dotted Betsey Johnson flat in your choice of four colors for just $17.99. That’s 80% off! And 100% adorable! Plus they’ve got their other daily specials, too. Get rain boots for under $35, 75% off Jones New York, and more.
Really, the only problem here is finding stuff you want to buy for others instead of for yourself.
A brief interlude about curly hair
I get sent a lot of sample products in the mail, and most of them I never tell you about because… meh. Last week I received a bottle of Cashmere Curls Leave-In Conditioner, and I tried it because I will try pretty much anything that promises to tame my frizzy hair.
[Fellow curly girls: Determine your curl type here. That site is filled with great information, by the way. For reference on the following, my hair is type 3B.]
I normally use a “cocktail” on my hair—I mix together a curl creme and some Moroccan Oil and often another leave-in product—in my endless quest to find a mixture that fights back frizz but doesn’t leave my hair crunchy. I tried the Cashmere Curls this weekend and didn’t bother mixing it with anything because I wanted to see how it worked on its own. The results were surprisingly good! I had good curl definition and zero frizz, and my hair was super soft. (And this stuff smells… I don’t know what it is… something citrusy, maybe? It smells amazing, though not overpowering.)
Now, it’s December. Would this hold up for me during a Georgia summer, in the heat and humidity? I suspect not; I’d need a styling product as well. But I’m going to add the Cashmere Curls to my arsenal… just as soon as I find it on sale, of course.
Ergorapido back in the Lightning Deals
Are you still watching the Amazon Lightning Deals? Those of you who were intrigued by my mention of the Electrolux Ergorapido earlier this month should get on over there—they currently have the orange Ergorapido on lightning deal, though it’s $10 more than what I paid for mine. Still a decent deal.
And yes, I am a little embarrassed about how much I love that stick vac. I’m okay with this.
Happy Free Shipping Day!
Let’s kick off the day with one of my favorite places to buy random adorable things—Cost Plus World Market. Get free shipping on every order and an additional 10% off with coupon code FREESHIP12, plus there’s still time to get your items via standard shipping in time for Christmas.
Does World Market carry Nutella, on sale? Why yes, yes they do. Do I know why? No, I have no idea. But how can you not love a place that carries Nutella…?
Final stretch: Under $5 toy deals at Amazon
You’ve got about a week left to get your Christmas shopping done, my pretties! Are you ready?
Amazon has an entire assortment of under $5 toy bargains you can still get in time for Christmas, you know.
A few other random things I saw (over $5):
Nascar #24 Drive to End Hunger Car Building Set for $6.44 (60% off)
Eric Carle’s Very Hungry Caterpillar Match and Munch Game for $7.36 (71% off)
The Orb Factory StoryCraft The Frog Prince for $7.87 (61% off)
Plenty of toy deals yet to be scooped up, is my point.
Got Prime? Get cars!
It’s baaaaaack… if you have Amazon Prime (or want to order a whole bunch to get free Super Saver Shipping; maybe for donations?), you can snag a 5-pack of Matchbox cars for just $3 right now.
Get ’em while the getting’s good.
All things X-Men
If you’re still looking for a few movies to stuff into stockings and/or enjoy over the holiday break, you might want to check out the X-Men Trilogy on Blu-ray over at Amazon—it’s down to just $17.99. This set is actually nine discs, though that seems like technically it would have to be more “extra features” than actual movies.
No Blu-ray player? You can get the DVD set for $16.49, instead. But that one is only three discs, so the Blu-ray seems like a better deal. (Just to clarify: Both sets have the same content. Now let’s wonder why the Blu-ray felt the need to have all those extra discs.)
Would you believe I’ve never seen any of these three movies? I might need this set.
Also, more stocking stuffers
You know that the clothing at Urban Outfitters is one of those things that makes me go “hmmm” (and by “hmmm” I of course mean “What the…??”), but I do like some of their “Apartment” stuff, and they’re a great resource for goofy stocking stuffers. This weekend they’re offering automatic free shipping on every order, and you can combine that with coupon code PURPLEWISHES for another 10% off. Get those last minute stocking goodies taken care of!
But don’t look at the clothing. Seriously. You can thank me later.
Amazon toy markdowns, part I’ve lost track
(I closed my computer yesterday and took the rest of the day to spend with my family. It feels crass to resume normal goings-on in the wake of senseless tragedy, but I don’t know what else to do. Hoping and praying for peace for everyone, truly.)
So this is me taking my mind off the hard stuff, okay? If you need a distraction, great, and if you don’t, I get it. But the toy markdowns continue, so here you go.
