Digital scrapbooking buys

I’m not a scrapper, unless we’re talking about my propensity to automatically eat whatever’s left over on my kids’ plates after a meal. But I think the proper word for that is something else.

However, this looks like a pretty good deal to me: 99 items at just $.99 each, all adorable and cute and scrapalicious. (Totally a word.) It looks like all the sale stuff is downloadables like fonts and printables, which means you don’t have to pay a shipping charge, either. Buying a whole bunch? Use coupon code NC596 to take 5% off your total. It’s not much, but every penny counts.

Just a heads up

This is for everyone who got in on the crazy toy deals at Amazon yesterday. I’m reading on several discussion boards that inventory was off and some items are being canceled from orders. These things happen, and that’s fine.

What you need to know is that if they remove something that causes your order total to fall below $25, shipping will be added back to your order without your notification. Check your order status in the “Account” section of the site, and if this happens to you, do contact Amazon to have the shipping removed. You can reach them through email or by calling them at 800-201-7575.

There’s nothing you can do if they claim to be out of stock of an item or if they say the price was incorrect. But you don’t have to pay shipping retroactively because of an adjustment they made after you ordered. They’re counting on you not noticing or not caring; make sure you’re not overcharged.

More Memorial Day savings

Far be it from Amazon to let an opportunity for a sale go by! Oh heaven’s no. Memorial Day is a chance to relax, reflect, and get good deals on housewares. Obviously.

So, through May 28th, 2007, you can score some deals at their Kitchen and Home Sale. You’ll have to wade in amongst the hand-blown glass birds (what the…?), but there’s goodies to be had, for sure. There’s cheap silverware, a kiddie organizer, a deeply discounted Springform pan (now go make me a cheesecake)… all kinds of stuff. Too much to list. Including all of the usual Friday Sale suspects like Scoobas and Roombas and bears, oh my.

(Okay, maybe not bears.)

And a little something for you, too

I know that many of you are big Coldwater Creek fans, so you’ll be happy to know they’ve released another awesome coupon. Use code WLP1582 for 40% off your entire order, including stuff in the outlet.

These coupons are the only way I ever buy from them, even though their clothing makes me feel all warm and fuzzy because it runs very large. It’s like getting a little boost of body image self-esteem with every purchase!

Father’s Day is coming up

And nothing says “thank you for raising me” or “thank you for raising our kids with me” and “you don’t know how to dress yourself” like some nice dress shirts. It’s a win/win situation, really.

So here’s the deal: Shop Jos. A. Bank now through May 28th, and most of their stuff is buy one, get the second one free. (I’m looking at shirts, but it goes for pants, suits… just go look around, will you?) It applies even to shirts in the clearance section, making some of them just $20 each for that awesome Jos. A. Bank quality. Plus, you’ll get free shipping on your order regardless of size.

And we all know that nothing says “I love you” like a really sweet deal.

Did someone say camping?

Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching, and if you’re like me, your thoughts may be turning to how you keep promising to take the kids camping, but you’re not really sure you have everything you need. Or that you want to sleep with sticks and rocks poking you in the back. Whatever.

Anyway, EMS is having a big Memorial Day Sale right now, and the best part is that if you spend $125+, you’ll get a $25 gift card with your order. Then you can go back and buy whatever you forgot the first time.

But, um, then you’re probably going to have to get off your butt and go camping. Do they have campsites with free wireless?

Gold star for Laura!

Pretty, pretty Laura just emailed me that she’s been browsing the Amazon Toy Sale and that this Plan Toys Dollhouse has just dropped to nearly 90% off!!

If you have been thinking about buying a dollhouse, RUN and grab this. Plan Toys make gorgeous, sturdy stuff and I have never seen such a deal. Laura totally gets two cookies.

[Psssst! Need some other stuff to get your order up to $25 for free shipping? Check out these other Plan Toys deals! These are all quality wooden toys, and many of them marked waaaaayy down.]

[Edited to add: Can’t. Stop. Looking. Check out this castle for just $4.72! My brain is melting from the amazing deals!]

If you’re looking for a good ovary-ache

Sometimes I look at adorable little things for tiny babies and my ovaries start to hurt a little, which is peculiar because I no longer have ovaries. Huh. All I can tell you is that somewhere along the way, we evolved such that looking at teeny socks and hats causes us to want to populate the earth. It’s Darwinian, really.

Anyway. Have a baby, or a baby for whom you’d like to shop? Check out the Amazon Baby Sale going on now. Alert (and funny) reader Stephanie has been regaling me with her picks all morning, and I have to agree with her assessment that the Kiddopotamus stuff is particularly adorable. But I also think these bibs are sheer genius.

Just two days left for flowers with your cheap food

You only have until May 24th, 2007, to make your purchase at Restaurant.com and receive a free $15 De La Flowers gift certificate along with your order. And now you can use coupon code GRAD to take 60% off that order, getting you $25 certificates for just $4 apiece!

Code expires May 31st, but if you want to combine it with the flowers offer, you’ve only got two days.

Don’t forget to check back to see if they’ve added restaurants in your area. My little corner of the sticks is up to 4 choices. Woo!

Mayhem now shipping for free

It’s another beautiful day here, after a weekend of rain. My thoughts are turning to those halcyon days when I can kick the children out of the house for hours at a time. Ahhhh, summer!

So, there’s too many deals to list amongst this week’s deals at eToys, but allow me to direct your attention to the verrrrrry last item at the bottom of that page on the left, there.

That’s right. Free shipping on Super Soakers.

You’re welcome.
