Snap it up quickly—great Vidster deal
I am running in here to post this because I suspect it’s a price mistake and/or that Amazon will raise the price pretty quickly.
Grab a Vidster for just $26.99 right now; that’s 66% off! This is a digital camcorder/camera intended for children, and it garners favorable reviews everywhere I looked.
I’m putting this one away for my daughter’s birthday, and the best part is that it gave me the excuse I needed to grab the Hot Wheels Radar Gun I was waffling over yesterday.
Hahahaha. . . they said “coochie”
Just fill out a short—if somewhat risque—survey, and receive a free sample of Commandos, “soft cotton comfort without the panties.”
(Personally, I’m rather fond of the soft cotton comfort of, well, actual panties, but I’m a little old-fashioned.)
Free shipping at Clinique
*taptaptap* Is this thing on? You all must be sleeping in today.
If you’re a Clinique devotee, save yourself a trip to the mall: get free standard shipping or discounted expedited shipping through December 15th. You also get a free cell phone charm, which would be good, I guess, if you want one. Personally, I find the charm confusing (is my cell phone not annoying enough? now I want dangly things on it?), but I am perhaps not the hip target audience for such things.
Last day to get regular shipping by Christmas
If you’ve been thinking about ordering anything from Ty’s Toy Box, be aware that today is the last day for guaranteed shipment before Christmas with standard ground shipping.
Several of their product lines have just been marked down, too. Teen Titans, Strawberry Shortcake
, and Atomic Betty
stuff is all reduced right now. And they’ve just gotten an exclusive deal on the new-to-the-U.S. Test Tube Aliens
, which I am predicting is going to be my son’s favorite gift this year. (Shameless cross-promotion alert: I wrote about the Test Tube Aliens on the Ty’s blog, and you can go there to watch a video and learn more about them.)
Remember: The thing about Ty’s is that you’re never going to get the deal of the century in terms of a veritable steal, money-wise. But you will often get a fair price on something that no one else carries. I would shop there even if I didn’t work for them, because sometimes you just have to say, “An alien? In a test tube? Right on!”
Towels on the cheap
Here’s a good one if you—like me—are using towels you may or may not have purchased when you went away to college. Ahem.
Linens N’ Things has their Aristocrat towels and Prestige towels
on sale right now. Maximize the deal as follows:
Put $30 worth of towels into your cart. Go through the regular LNT checkout, using coupon code FS09 for free shipping. Before you get to the end of checkout, click the logo up top to go back to the LNT homepage. Now click the link to use Google Checkout; you’ll get your $10 off of $30 Google discount, and the free shipping to boot.
It’s a little sneaky, which of course makes it difficult for me to resist.
Like a tattoo, but weirder
I had to order this one just out of morbid curiosity.
Get your free sample of TanArt (if you live in the U.S.) and try it for yourself. It’s a colorful sticker for your skin! It turns the area a lasting tan color after removal! After a few days it fades, but the bizarre memory is a lasting one, I’m guessing.
Mr. Bear, do you know how fast you were going?
Sometimes I hate it when I finish my Christmas shopping early.
One of the hottest toys this season is the Hot Wheels Radar Gun, and it’s 40% off at Amazon right now. Free Super Saving Shipping, too, if you get your cart up to the minimum.
My children do not need more toys, my children do not need more toys….
Big sale at DisneyShopping
For two days only—today, December 13th, and tomorrow, December 14th—you can take 40% off your total order at DisneyShopping.com. Just click through and use coupon code SEASONSALE.
Remember: At Disney, you have to be logged in to apply and use coupons. Also, their coupons have lots of terms and restrictions, so read the fine print before purchasing. (Off the top of my head, I recall that coupons are generally not valid on video games, for example.)
Check out item number 51612P. If that came in larger sizes, Otto would totally want them for his bed.
Paging Dr. Elmo
Do you have a reluctant tooth-brusher on your hands who still thinks Elmo rules the world? Tell your little one to do a good job brushing his teeth, and then he can have Elmo sing him a song about it!
(Yeah. I know. Sometimes we do things for our kids, you know?)
Call 1-866-356-6847 to hear Elmo sing his special holiday-themed song about brushing. It only made my eardrum bleed a little.
Last day (night) to get free shipping + discounts
Hey, if I’d had internet today, I would’ve posted this earlier. Sorry about that.
If you catch this post tonight, you may be in for a great deal. Check it out:
If you order through midnight Eastern time, tonight (December 12th), there’s free shipping on select gifts at Linens N’ Things.
Make it even better: Google Checkout gives you $10 off of $30, and you can also use coupon code DEC0106 for 20% off a single item. (Most stores which accept Google Checkout do not allow you to use a coupon at the same time; LNT does, which can make for a heck of a deal.)
The free shipping is good only through tonight; the coupon expires December 15th.
