Ad-free e-cards
Love e-cards, but hate the ads plastered all over the sites that let you send them, or the pop-ups that sometimes go along with the cards?
New e-card site Month2Month is not only completely ad-free, it allows total customization of the cards you send—right down to the logo. They have some cute Halloween cards, so you might want to check them out. Surely someone you love needs some holiday greetings that include a cartoon zombie about to snack on a severed leg!
(Or, you know, not. But they do have all sorts of cute cards.)
Gorgeous savings at Liz
I’ll confess to being a sucker for all things Liz Claiborne; their regular prices don’t thrill me, of course, but they have frequent sales and so many of their items are just so pretty. (Their customer service is also amazing. One year I ordered some pants before Christmas and sort of lost track of the box in the holiday shuffle. By the time I found it and tried them on, I realized the pants didn’t fit—and I was well past 30 days from purchase. They took them back anyway.)
Today (October 30th, 2008) only, save an additional 30% on everything at Liz Claiborne—just use coupon code END30. Combine that with the already-reduced sale and clearance items and you’ve got the makings of a great deal. Don’t forget that orders of $125+ ship for free, too.
But, um, you might want to open the box and try stuff on right when it arrives. Just a friendly suggestion.
The name’s Man. Bat Man.
(You know, it’s been a while since I saw a movie for grown-ups. It’s possible I’m confusing the Batman films with some other franchise. I just can’t think of what. Hmmmm.)
Have a Batman fan on your holiday list? I’m thinking that Batman Begins would probably be a great stocking stuffer… particularly when you can pick it up for just $4.99! Free shipping with Prime, or get your order up to $25 for free Super Saver Shipping.
Heck, I might even grab one. Seeing as how I completely missed this in the theater….
Want Not loves The Fish Atlanta!
Here’s a little shout-out to my local peeps: Tomorrow morning (October 30th, 2008), tune in to hear my chat with Kevin and Taylor of 104.7 The Fish at 8:10. Why? Thrifty Thursday, of course!
We’re talking Christmas shopping, Amazon Prime, the importance of a gift closet, and I swear to you that I told them they were pretty, but for some reason that part got edited out. I wonder why.
Many thanks to the kind folks at The Fish for having me, and I hope some of you will be able to tune in for the segment. (Alternatively, it looks like they offer live streaming on the web site, though I’m having trouble getting it to work at the moment….)
Chilly? Get fleecy!
For a limited time, DisneyShopping has reduced select hooded character fleece to just $10 each. (Scroll down on the main page to where it says $10 fleece to get to it—Disney does this incredibly annoying thing where the girl items and boy items are separated, so I can’t give you a direct link to everything, only one or the other.)
There’s adorable hoodie sweatshirts for the boys and hooded fleece ponchos for the girls. Cozy and cute!
Reminder: DVD contest
(Sorry for the lack of posts this morning… I’ve been spending some quality time at the orthodontist with my kid. You know, bonding time. They bond the brackets to his teeth, I bond my bank account to the orthodontist’s yacht… etc.)
Don’t forget that you only have until 3:00 Eastern today to enter to win either the Global Wonders DVDs or the Ozzy and Harriet boxed set. If you haven’t entered yet, what are you waiting for?
And just a reminder: Enter on the contest post. Not this one. Please.
For your Indiana Jones fan
As long as the girls are getting their hearts’ desire in the last post, I figured a bit of equal time for the boys was in order.
So, does your little guy fancy himself the next Indiana Jones? Check out this deal at Amazon. Theoretically, the idea is that you purchase both the sound FX whip and the Lost Temple of Akator Playset and save $25 on the pair—which is a nice deal, don’t get me wrong—but it actually works on just two of the whips, too.
And let’s face it, not only does that work out to be a better deal (2 whips for $18.98 shipped), but the whip is the coolest part of the whole Indiana Jones phenomenon. Obviously.
This would be a good one for the gift closet, too. Especially for a birthday party where you really don’t like the kid’s parents; while boys will love this toy, I imagine it’s extremely annoying for parents. That makes it a perfect passive-aggressive gift. You’re welcome!
It’s the most American Girl time of the year
American Girl fans know that they offer discounts just a couple of times a year, so it’s always exciting when they do. Get ready, because it’s that time again: Right now at the American Girl Store, take $10 off your $30+ order with coupon code 153302.
Now Coconut can get that collar he’s always wanted. (If you have no idea what the foregoing sentence means, consider yourself lucky.)
Because there’s no such thing as too much Crayola
Sometimes the best deals turn up in unexpected places.
Like this: Right now, Kohls has some great prices on select Crayola items (argh, having trouble with direct link… go to Kohls and search on crayola, if the other link is busted). Because when you think Crayola, you think Kohls. Or not. (Perhaps that’s why they didn’t sell…?) Anyway, shipping is currently $.99/item, which still makes for some decent prices, but Kohls cardholders can ship their entire order for free with coupon code MVC9750, and take an additional 15% off with (stackable!) code FALL15OFF. Not a cardholder? You can still use code NEW5127 for an extra 10% off.
Show me a kid who doesn’t like art supplies, and I’ll show you… ummmm… I’ll show you a day when Kohls isn’t running a big sale. Ha!
Maybe I should call it Free Shipping Tuesday
And the free shipping hits just keep on comin’….
I know we’ve had a few of these lately, but just in case you went hunting for a code and realized the last one had expired: Here’s a new free shipping code for Lands’ End! Because I care! And because Murphy’s Law dictates that a child will always outgrow everything just moments are all good deals and/or codes expire, because you were smugly believing you didn’t need to buy anything!
Through November 4th, 2008, use code SLED and PIN 3785. Because paying for shipping is for suckers, man.
