Both intrigued and horrified
So it’s possible that I’m, uh, shopping for my dog. Stop laughing. I mean, Christmas is coming, and Santa always brings a few things for the dog’s stocking (yes, the dog has a stocking, hush), and I just thought I’d do a little bit of browsing around.
Which brought me to this platypus. At first I was all, Great, she loves stuffed toys, and a platypus is kind of amusing, so that’s fine. But. But. Apparently this thing is… filled with squeaky eggs? Which the dog is supposed to extract from an elastic opening “on the bottom”…?
I feel dirty.
And yet, I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t have one in my cart.
More iTunes for less dough
If you missed the last deal at Best Buy on iTunes gift cards, this one is almost as good (or maybe even better, if you’d rather have multiple stocking-stuffer cards rather than one big card): Right now you can buy two $10 3-card packs and you’ll automatically get $10 off your total, so $60 cards for just $50. (Shipping is free.)
Just click on the “$10 off iTunes… find out how” link in the product description to get the deal.
It’s not a huge savings, but if you were planning on buying a bunch of iTunes cards anyway, why not save the ten bucks?
Feeling fleecy
Winter has finally arrived in Georgia, and I could not be more… whiny about it. I’m cold, y’all.
Right now at Reebok, buy any fleece or microfleece item and apply code FLEECE to bring the price down to $20. Shipping is free on all orders, right now. [Edited to add: Eagle-eyed reader BB says he thinks it’s only hoodie fleeces that this works on.]
Alternatively—if you’re not buying fleece, in which case I’m guessing you live somewhere tropical and I would really like to come visit you—you can use coupon code TAKE30 for 30% off your entire order.
More video game savings, now with accessories
17 days of video game savings might be enough for some retailers, but not for Amazon. No! They’re also going to throw in a Buy 1, get 1 half off promo where you can choose from a huge assortment of games and accessories and save big.
This is a great way to save on wiimotes (or motion pluses, if you want to add on to existing remotes), or nunchucks, or even just a few games. I spy… DanceDance software and mats sold separately, discounted when bought together. And lots of other things. Definitely worth a look. (And like the BOGO book promo they recently had, I think it’s one discount per order, but you can place as many orders as you like.)
Don’t forget your vitamins
‘Tis the season… to catch every random bug floating around, unless you eat right and get plenty of rest. Hahahahaaaaaaa! I’m sure that you—like me—are really finding this time of year incredibly restful and relaxing. Hee. Sorry.
In lieu of a break, maybe just make sure you’re taking your vitamin every day. (It’s better than nothing, right?) And right now, all One-a-Day vitamins at Soap.com are buy 1, get 1 free (no code needed).
Shipping is always free on your $25+ order. And not having to hit the store in this Season of Shopping Frenzy is always, of course, priceless.
(Pssst! Don’t forget, if you’ve never ordered from Soap.com before—though I don’t know what you’re waiting for, if you haven’t—you can use coupon code WANT4632 for an additional 15% off your first order.)
Get your Hero on
It’s Day 8 of the Amazon 17 Days of Video Game Deals, and today the theme is Heroes. Specifically, various music Hero games. Get the brand-spankin’-new Warriors of Rock Super Bundle for just $120, for example, today only.
Me, I think I may be too old and stodgy for this one. I’m looking at the product images, and… is that a pig playing the drums? I’m so confused.
These are not the LEGO you’re looking for
It’s Totally Toy Tuesday over in the Target Daily Deals, today, but that’s actually not the good thing, because the five featured toys today are kind of expensive.
No, the good thing is that the headline toy is the LEGO (whoops! not LEGO!) Legacy Millenium Falcon—MSRP of $179—and Amazon decided to pricematch today’s $130 price.
So if you live in a state where Amazon isn’t going to charge you sales tax, that’s definitely the better bargain; plus it’ll ship faster.
Do you drop this kind of money for a little kid and/or casual enthusiast? Of course not. But do you do a little dance of joy if you have a die-hard Star Wars fan and collector on your list? Yes, you do.
Sweaters just got better
Right now at Old Navy, it’s buy one sweater, get one free. Woo! What a great excuse to get two colors. Er, I mean, to buy for everyone on your list. Of course. Ahem.
Just use coupon code ONSWEATER for the BOGO. It’s on through December 11th, apparently, and they’ve also got a slew of holiday deals besides.
Shipping is $7, or free on orders of $50+.
This just seems like a bad idea
On the one hand: Oh, look! Buy.com has the Nerf N-Strike Elite Bundle for Wii available for just $19 shipped, which is a full $10 less than the current price at Amazon. Yay for sales!
On the other hand: It’s a game that comes with a Nerf gun that both, y’know, works as a Nerf gun and can have the Wii remote inserted and used in conjunction with the video game. And it shoots Nerf dart things. Yay for having your awesome flat-screen TV smudged or maybe even broken with darts!
So, uh, yeah. Good luck with this one.
Whoa, $9 day at Threadless
Um, didn’t they just have a sale? I think they did. Nonetheless, for the next 22 or so hours, every t-shirt at Threadless is just $9.
(Which means I will likely be headed back there for a second order. Their nefarious plan is clearly working.)
