Shoe-fly
It’s true; you shop at 6pm.com, and then shoes magically fly into your house. I swear!
Today’s deals include XOXO and Haiku bags, Adidas shoes, Fitzwell gear (loving those $8 yoga pants!), and more.
I could stop shopping at 6pm, but I’m pretty sure my life would cease to have meaning. It’s true; I’ve converted to the church of 6pm. Our credo is Cute Feet Are Available To All. Also, we have enough money left over after shopping for more cookies, so there’s that.
Bucket o’ fun
If you’re looking for a regular ol’ bucket of Lego, you could do a lot worse than this Ultimate Building Set of 405 pieces for $20 from Amazon. It ships for free with Prime, or get your order up to $25 for Free Super Saver Shipping.
It’s probably about time for me to buy another one of these. I suspect that approximately 300 pieces of the one I bought for my son a few years ago have since been vacuumed up.
I will use it by the pool, I will use it like a fool
I love cordless phones because they’re so convenient and because I’m clumsy enough that a phone with a cord is an invitation to disaster, for me. But I hate cordless phones because occasionally I can’t find any of them, on account of my children have left them all in a pile in a bathroom, or something. I also sometimes hate them because they tend to die spectacularly, and then we’re stuck using our lone corded phone until I replace all of them.
Anyway, a while back I replaced our set with one a lot like this Uniden DECT cordless answering system currently on sale for $60 at Buy.com. Mine isn’t exactly the same, but I do have that same waterproof handset it comes with, and it is my very favorite part. I can take it outside by the pool or I can have it out in the driveway while washing a car or I can put it next to the bathtub without worrying that if I drop it in my bathwater I’ll have an embarrassing obituary. (“Beloved wife, mother, bargain-hunter. But kind of a moron.”)
For reference, the waterproof handset alone goes for $40-$60 at Amazon, so $60 for an answering machine and four handsets is a great deal.
Plus that whole thing where you don’t electrocute yourself in the tub. Really, can you put a price on that?
You could cover the whole fridge
Alert and pretty (er, handsome) Want Not reader Chris tipped me off early this morning that Snapfish is offering 100 free prints today only. Just spend at least $5 on anything else, then use coupon code FREE5 and get your freebies.
In other words, today would be a good day to organize your photos. (Thanks, Chris!)
I’ve got the whole moon, in my room
(I’m hearing that to the tune of “Whole World In His Hands,” just so you can share the earworm joy.)
I love this: Get a moon in your room from National Geographic for just $15—use coupon code EM111509B6 for free shipping. [Edited to add: The code appears not to be working; some folks are having luck with calling in, some not. Sorry about that.]
It’s currently $19 at Amazon (but check out those great reviews).
I kind of want one for my room….
Time for Disney
Through the holidays, the Disney Store is offering a Deal of the Day every day, and today it’s 30% off and free personalization on watches. While I’m not a huge fan of licensed character stuff, I love that you can pick the colors, character, even choose to put your child’s name on the face of the watch. What a great gift these would make either for the kid getting his first watch or someone who’s got a favorite Disney character. The price is certainly right.
And if you end up spending $89+, your order ships for free with coupon code SHIP89.
Happy Swedish children
They’ve just taken another round of markdowns over at Hanna Andersson—which, as we all know, is Swedish for “unbearably cute”—and my purchasing finger is feeling mighty itchy.
40% off is pretty hard to resist, especially for my very favorite children’s clothing maker. (Sample conversation with myself: “Self, $28 is crazy for pajamas. Except that they’ll last for years, and they were originally $42. And I can sell ’em on eBay later for $20. But still, $28. But, c’mon, they’re Hannas.”)
Sigh. It’s hard being me.
Wii will wii will save you
Been waiting for just the right deal to get your Wii on? Feeling like the last person on the planet without a Wii?
Today’s your day, baybee!
Right now at Amazon you can buy a Wii and Wii Fit, get a $50 gift card! And they’ve marked down the console, too, finally—you’ll pay just $200 for that, and $90 for the Fit. Once you factor in the gift card, you’re pretty much getting the Fit and balance board for free, compared to retail pricing.
If you’ve been considering getting on the Wii bandwagon, this would be a pretty bargain-minded way to do it.
Say cheese!
It’s that time of year again—it’s nearly time to order your holiday cards. Which—here in my house—means it’s time to wrestle the children into cute outfits and try to capture them both smiling at the same time. Their joy is palpable, as I’m sure you’d imagine.
Let me take away some of the pain for you: Right now you can save big at Kodak Gallery when you go to order your cards; going through that link there will either give you $15 off your order or a flat 40% off (I think it’s random, which one you get). Either way, it’ll make ordering the cards a little easier to handle… even if the actual photo session is still a little stressful.
Saturday deals
Gooooood morning! Today I came to the inescapable conclusion that my coffeemaker has reached the end of its life. And then I spent over an hour being overwhelmed by different coffeemaker models and choices, and now I’m here wondering if I should just switch to tea. (Seriously, I love shopping for you, but apparently can’t handle shopping for myself. This is how the shoemaker’s children end up barefoot, people.)
Anyway, enough about me! Let’s see what you’re going to save on, today.
Target’s Daily Deals run the gamut today, from a LED temperature indicator shower head (that’s a brilliant idea for the kids’ bathroom) to a voice-activated remote control. Don’t forget—their daily deals always ship for free.
Many of you asked me to let you know when $40 Danskos returned to 6pm.com, and today’s the day! Check out those Annie shoes for just $6, and the Romantic Soles ones for just $7, too. (I love those cheapie specials; it keeps my fast-growing shoe fanatic in hip shoes without breaking the bank.)
Check out the deal on this Fisher Price Amazing Animals Spinnin’ Around Musical Zoo at Amazon—it’s currently just $24, and ships for free with Prime (or find a filler and get free Super Saver Shipping). And while it’s not on sale, if my son’s ceaseless pining is any indication, this Bakugan Maxus Dragonoid is going to be a very hot item this holiday season, and my guess is that it’s going to be hard to find in another few weeks. Just sayin’. (Also? I don’t even like Bakugan and I have to admit that thing is incredibly cool. It’s like Transformers! But with Bakugan!)
It’s that time of year—the big winter sale is on at The Company Store, plus they’ve added tons of items to their clearance (thanks, Laura!) this week.
80% off at Restaurant.com has been extended through the weekend; just use code ENTREE to pay just $2 for your $25 dining certificates, and suddenly date night is affordable again.
I may have to stick one of these Miccus ChargeBlocks from Buy.com into my husband’s stocking this year—it charges your iPod or iPhone on the go, and is just $20 today. (Comparison: The direct-from-Amazon price is $35 right now, though you can go through them for the Buy.com deal if you prefer, for some reason.)
I’ll be back a bit later on with a weekend contest, because really, who doesn’t want a contest? That’s right.
