The ultimate Easter basket (for someone else)
I happen to hate Play-Doh with a burning passion. I know it’s not logical, and I know that kids love the stuff, but on the rare occasion when I tried to quell my instincts and let my kids play with it, I would find little Play-Doh balls all over the house for what seemed like weeks on end. Sorry—I’m just a little too uptight to love it.
That shouldn’t stop you, though. Why, I’m sure it’s just that my kids are much more disgusting than yours. Yes. That’s it.
Anyhoo, check out this Play-Doh Super Craft Caddy, currently $10 at Amazon and free Super Saver Shipping eligible. That’s a heckuva lot of crafting potential, all in a handy carrier with a handle. Why, I bet any craft-loving kiddo would be more than happy to receive such a thing for Easter in lieu of a basket filled with candy. Just sayin’.
What’s better than savings?
Why, savings and free shipping, of course.
There’s lots of new items in the Lands’ End Overstocks, plus many items which have been further reduced. And through February 22nd you can ship your entire order for free using source code PREVIEW and PIN number 528652865.
(There’s plenty of Rash Guard separates available, by the way—these are awesome for kids who burn easily in the sun, but balk at “regular” clothing to cover up.)
A small shoe consolation
For those of you in mourning over the recent shoe shopping changes, I can offer you a small consolation:
Use coupon code PRESDAY08 today at Shoebuy to take 20% off your total purchase.
(Hey, it’s something, at least.)
Celebrate Presidents Day. . . in your kitchen
Hey, Amazon is having a Kitchen and Home 48-hour sale
For example, this WaveStation blender is 40% off and perfect for margaritas smoothies!
And the Rick Bayless stuff I posted last week has gone down again—the bean pot is down to $9.99 and the pepper roaster griddle is down to $14.99. If you were waffling, it might be time to buy, and if you already bought, be sure to submit for your refund.
This Matfer Exopat baking sheet is down to just $8.99, plus it’s eligible for the 4-for-3 promotion. (That’s a whole lotta cookies that will never stick to your pan. Just sayin’.)
I sort of love these urban picnic dishes. I don’t know why. And they’re only 25% off, but they’re part of the 4-for-3 promotion. That’d be a really cool wedding gift for people whose tastes run to the quirky, though.
The reviews are very mixed, but if you’re willing to chance it, there’s 410 thread count king sheets for under $13.
Ready to start shopping for summer? No? But… but… gazebo!! (You know that’s one of my favorite words to say. Try it. I swear it’ll cheer you up.)
Free shipping is back at American Girl
Now that Christmas has come and gone, American Girl has released a new free shipping code. Through March 16th, 2008, use coupon code A382024 to receive free shipping on any size order.
And before you ask—yes, they realize you just placed an order. Apparently Mr. Murphy works for American Girl.
A moment of silence, please
I’m afraid that the worst has finally happened.
As of February 14th, 2008, Zappos has completely removed their price protection policy. This means you can no longer pricematch with them. They have also discontinued overnight shipping.
You can still get free overnight shipping and a 110% pricematch at Endless, but the $5 back (negative $5 for overnight shipping, I think they called it) has ended as well. Shoebuy is also still offering 110% pricematching.
Of the three online shoe stores mentioned above, I still believe that Zappos has the best customer service, and I will continue to patronize them when I can afford to do so… but the deals of yore have come to an end.
What? No, um, there’s just something in my eye….
The ultimate kiddie art table
I am actually feeling a big of a pang that my children are probably too big for this. Then again, I realize they’re also too big to “accidentally” draw on the walls, and suddenly I’m much better.
Anyway, check out this Alex Super Art Table that’s half-off at One Step Ahead. (Great reviews—albeit a much higher price!—at Amazon.) Their sale price is $89.95, and shipping will run right around $22, but you can use coupon code BDAYFBRY for 15% off to help offset that.
Certainly nothing to pick up on a whim, but if you’d been wanting such a thing, the price is right.
Saturday deals
A few suggestions to keep you busy shopping smart this Saturday (the alliteration is just another service I offer)….

Remember: Friends don’t let friends pay full retail.
Friday at last
Oh my pretties, I know I haven’t done all I could for you, this week. Perhaps next week I shall tell my family and other obligations to just leave me alone! I have bargains to find! Or maybe not. But possibly I’ll be less busy, and we’ll have more deals. We’ll see.
In the meantime, we’ll always have the Amazon Friday Sale.
Need some cheap CD-Rs? Or—at a slightly less impressive price, but probably a better item—some DVD-Rs?
Personally, if I’m going to spend $95 on a tool, I expect it to come with a nice whirring sound, but supposedly this Leatherman is the cream of the crop (and a decent price). Whatever.
This Rubbermaid Closet Kit keeps going on sale, and it has a 5-star rating. This may be the lowest I’ve seen it.
This is something like the 7th week in a row that this musical cake cutter has been in the Friday Sale. I am afraid.
Get organized! These Rubbermaid products are all 77% off and have free shipping regardless of order size: the Wrap N Craft gift organizer ($6.99), the ribbon holder ($3.49), and the horizontal wrapping station ($4.49).
This Waring double coffeepot would be perfect for a small office. (Or a home office. One pot for each hand!)
There’s multiple varieties of these Weil bars
Enjoy your Friday, everyone!
So wrong, and yet so right
Imagine my delight and surprise to get back to the computer and decide to check out today’s Amazon deals… only to discover this awesome Valentine’s Day Gold Box deal
I first saw those sets a year or so ago and I still love them entirely too much.
