And a little something for upcoming parties
Do I seize upon any excuse to shop at Boden when they have a sale? Yes. Yes, I do. I’m okay with that.
Right now they’re offering 25% off and free shipping, automatically through my link. You know you’ll have a party or three to go to this holiday season, so why not get yourself a new little something? I won’t tell.
Heads up, Kinect-wanters
If an XBox Kinect tops your gift list this year, make sure you’re ready and waiting at the Amazon Black Friday Countdown Lightning Deals in about 20 minutes—at 11:00 Pacific, 2:00 Eastern, there’s going to be a deal on an XBox Kinect Bundle with a $100 Amazon credit back.
My guess is that it’ll be $300 with the $100 credit back, but there’s always a chance it’ll be lower, I guess. Regardless, this will sell out quickly, and while I know a certain Big Box Retailer Who Shall Not Be Named is advertising a Black Friday $200 deal with a $50 gift card back, this may be a much lower-stress way of getting a decent deal.
Me, I’m just curious to see how quickly it sells out. I’m betting about five minutes. So be poised and ready if this is what you want. May the quickest clickers win!
Worth a try for cheap paper
This is almost certainly a price mistake, but if you feel like gambling, here it is:
Office Depot currently has single reams of recycled envirocopy paper available for just $.49/apiece with free shipping.
I, uh, wouldn’t order a million of ’em, but if you only ordered a few maybe they’ll honor the price…? I guess we’ll find out.
Calling all Trekkies
What do you give your favorite nerd for the holidays? Star Trek, of course!
Specifically, you find a great deal on the original motion picture collection, because nothing says “I love you and your nerditude” than a great deal on Spock. So go on over to Amazon and pick up the Star Trek: Original Motion Picture 7-disc Collection either on Blu-ray for $40 or on DVD for $23.50. Either way, it’s the perfect gift for anyone who’s ever wanted a pet tribble.
(Tribble not included. Though that’s probably a good thing.)
You know I love Lands’ End codes
The only thing better than a coupon code for Lands’ End is… a coupon code for Lands’ End that also works at LE Canvas.
Voila! Your wish has been granted! (That was my genie impression. You like? No? I… shouldn’t quit my day job? Alrighty, then.)
Through November 28th, 2011, use coupon code DRUMSTICK with PIN 1121 for 30% off and free shipping on any order, valid at both Lands’ End and Lands’ End Canvas. Knock out a few gifts while you’re waiting for Black Friday, and save some dough, too.
Wiggles earworms, for free
My kids are well past the age when The Wiggles were the height of musical excitement, but if yours are still little, maybe you’d like to grab this free sampler of Wiggles music at Amazon to keep them occupied.
Of course, if your kids are older, don’t let that stop you. My kids just love it when I start crooning Wiggles tunes in the car. Especially if their friends are around.
Tango over to Tanga
Ostensibly I am writing this post to let you know that today over at Tanga, you can pick up a year’s subscription to ESPN Magazine for just $4—it’s listed at $30, but applying coupon code ESPN knocks it down to just $4.
That’s a pretty smokin’ deal, but the real reason I am writing this post is because they’ve also got a t-shirt featuring the infamous lamp from A Christmas Story, with the caption “It’s a Major Award!” And I think we can all agree that that’s pretty much made of awesome.
6pm is pretty, and so are 20 of you
Lately I seem to have struck up a bit of a friendship with the folks behind the 6pm Twitter feed, which is fairly amusing in and of itself because it began with me ranting on about peep-toe shooties. (Hint: Shootie is not a word. And boots shouldn’t have peep-toes. And get off my lawn.)
Anyway, we all love 6pm.com, am I right? Of course. They have been looking especially pretty lately with the free shipping, I must say.
Well, here’s a little treat from them, courtesy of friends made while ranting about fashion on Twitter: The first 20 people to place an order with them using coupon code 6PMFB112111RYR get an additional 10% off. The coupon expires after 20 uses or at midnight PST, whichever comes first. (I’m guessing it won’t last an hour, but who knows? You might want to shop fast, is all I’m saying.)
Thanks, 6pm! As always, I love those shoes.
A week of free shipping
Listen, full disclosure, here: I find Urban Outfitters a little… well, weird, sometimes, and definitely overpriced, most of the time. But. They often have good sales, and they have tons of little bits and bobs that would make, say, perfect stocking stuffers, but that I don’t feel like paying shipping to get.
So. Now through November 28th, everything ships for free, no matter the size of your order. This is the time to grab those mustache wall decals and the “What Happened?” bandages (love those!) without worrying about shipping remorse.
(I vote for Ninja Fight, by the way. In case there was ever any doubt.)
Muppets mania
Man, I am loving all of the Countdown to Black Friday Lightning Deals at Amazon this week. Too many awesome choices!
Right now they have a Muppet Five-Pack that’s going fast, three seasons of the TV show and two movies, for $50. Go quick if you want it!
