Not to alarm you, or anything
I don’t know if you’ve noticed this or not, but… um, well, it’s already mid-December. Yeah. I said it. Do you know where your holiday cards are? No? Well, let me see if I can help you out.
Right now at VistaPrint you can order 20 custom holiday cards for just $1.99. At that price, you won’t feel too bad when you have to upgrade to express shipping.
And go ahead and make the shipping worth your while—browse around their other winter clearance items and pick up a few other things, while you’re there.
But do hurry up and take care of the cards. Otherwise people will wonder if something happened to you. Or if you just don’t like them anymore.
Get your daily deals here, hot off the griddle
(I don’t really put deals like this on my griddle. They would get singed. I am just craving pancakes.)
Some dailies for you:
Today’s video game deal at Amazon is $30 off if you buy a PSP and a game together. Meanwhile, today’s Gold Box Deal is the Band of Brothers set for just $25.99, which is way less than what I paid for it last year, thinking I was getting an awesome deal.
Today’s holiday deal at Endless is 30% off Chooka rainboots for women and kids. These things will make you wish for rain, they’re that much fun.
Today’s St. Nick’s Pick over at Lands’ End is the women and girls’ angel down vests again. If you regretted missing them the first time, here’s your second chance (and free shipping, to boot)!
Over at Kohls, check out the microbubble throws in various colors for just $9.99. If you’re a Kohls card holder, stack codes HOLIDAY15 (for an extra 15% off) and MVC5131 (for free shipping), too. Or anyone can use code HOLIDAY2473 for an additional 10% off.
Time to reap the rewards at Macy’s
It’s Friends & Family time at Macy’s, now through December 15th, 2008. Shop all you like, and every order will be shipped for free, plus enjoy 20% off apparel and 10% off electronics with code MACYSFRIEND.
I hear that Santa buys all his cashmere at Macy’s. No, really!
Stop looking at me like that.
(I know that clicking through takes you to a page that features a coupon with a minimum order amount necessary for free shipping. Don’t fret! The Friends & Family coupon should give you the free shipping with no minimum.)
Hold me
I’ve been looking at these for half an hour, and I can’t decide if they’re brilliant or just completely frightening. I’ll have to let you be the judge.
See, apparently K’Nex makes some Sesame Street sets. And many of them are on sale! Which is awesome. Sort of. The prices are definitely awesome, but I really am a wee bit afraid that several of these sets look like what would happen if the zombie animatronic muppet army took over the earth.
Choose from the following (if they don’t freak you out):
Ernie Set for $4.61 (58% off)
Oscar Set for $5.10 (54% off)
Super Grover Set (he’s my favorite) for $6.27 (58% off)
Cookie Monster and Hooper’s Store Set for $12.99 (59% off)
They’re a little creepy, right? It’s not just me…?
Free shipping and more savings
It’s been a while since Crazy 8 offered free shipping, but they’re doing it right now (for a limited time). There’s tons of stuff on sale, plus coupon code FREE10 takes $10 off your $30+ order.
Crazy 8 is owned by the same folks who do Gymboree. Only (in my opinion) this stuff is cheaper and cuter. And you know I’m all over clearance stuff and free shipping when it comes to The Small People Who Refuse To Stop Growing.
These are a few of my favorite books
Longtime readers here know that I list these every single time I catch them on sale, and this is for several very good reasons:
1) I love books.
2) I love these books.
3) The prices are phenomenal.
4) These make awesome gifts.
and
5) Did I mention that I love books?
More price drops may be coming, but for now, check out these tiles at Amazon for 80% off:
Pirateology Guidebook and Model Set for $3.60
Castle: Medieval Days and Knights (A Sabuda and Reinhart Pop-Up Book) for $4.00
Return to Fairyopolis (Flower Fairies) for $4.00
And for the big (teen+) kids, check out Life of Pi: Deluxe Illustrated Edition for $4.60, too!
Sharper Image at sharper prices
Hey, remember how cool Sharper Image was? You know, before they went out of business because who could possibly pay those prices? Remember that?
It turns out that Boscov’s is carrying a bunch of Sharper Image gadgets at normal, real-people prices. Hooray! This may just help you finish up shopping for the gadget-hound on your list. (Free shipping on $50+ orders, automatically.)
They have:
The Sharper Image Touch Panel Remote Control for $7.97
The Sharper Image Digital Photo Keychain for $14.97
The Sharper Image Mini Digital Camera for $9.97
The Sharper Image Digital Photo Album Keychain for $14.97
Hey, if you’re a big spender, these would make great stocking stuffers, too. (And if you stuff stockings with gadgets like these, would you like to come to my house this year? Just sayin’….)
Rice is even nicer for less
Once upon a time we had a nice talk about rice cookers. And that was… over two years ago and I still don’t own one, because I am cheap, and I have been waiting for the best bargain.
Well, I think today’s the day I get my rice cooker. Woo!
Pick your size and pick your bargain; what you want (if you want a top-notch machine) is the fuzzy logic that works the magic of the rice never sticking or overcooking, but always staying warm. (Magic!) All of the following have fuzzy logic and hugely positive reviews.
The Sanyo ECJ-D100S 10-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker/Steamer is the one I want, I think. At $89.99, it’s nearly half price.
Don’t need one that big? Check out the Sanyo ECJ-HC55S 5-1/2-Cup Micro-Computerized Rice Cooker and Slow Cooker instead, for $99.99 (not as good of a sale, and more money for something smaller, but there you have it).
Want the very best, and don’t need one that’s very big? Then you want the Zojirushi NS-LAC05 Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer for $99.99 (41% off).
I’m just giving you your options. And also trying to feel more justified about grabbing that first one. Heh.
Check your deals of the day
Here’s your friendly little reminder to check those daily deals that might net you big savings for today only….
Today’s St. Nick’s Pick over at Lands’ End is down vests. Cozy! (Free shipping through the link, too, regardless of what you buy.)
Today’s holiday deal at Endless is some extremely sexy Nine West boots. Rowr!
And today’s video game deals at Amazon are a bunch of Playstation 3 things I don’t understand because I am old.
You’re welcome!
Hello, Dolly!
In my never-ending quest to find all of the ridiculous markdowns at Amazon, this morning I went looking for dolls. Why? I don’t know. Everyone loves dolls! Heh.
Here’s what I’ve found so far:
Chou Chou Mommy Make Me Better Doll for $14.99 (59% off)
Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle & Coo Doll for $8.99 (58% off)
Playskool Dressy Daisy Brunette Doll for $6.99 (53% off)
Madame Alexander Pink Check African-American Huggums for %18.17 (55% off)
The best part is that when you get tired of these, you can just stick them in the closet or whatever. That tends to cause problems if you do it with your kids. Or so I hear.
