Shipping Your Christmas Gifts for Free

I love shopping online for Christmas gift because it is so convenient. I can do my research, shop at different stores, find all of the deals and never have to deal with cranky kids and crowded stores. Well, at least if the kids get cranky, I can give them a snack and send them down to the playroom, something I can’t so when I shop at the actual retail stores. There is one thing that I don’t like about buying Christmas gifts online and that is the shipping costs that may be associated with them. Of course there are ways … Continue reading →

Christmas Showdown: Parents vs. Toy Packaging

Some call it “wrap rage,” others call it a nuisance; I like to refer to it as a parent’s worst nightmare. Moms and dads with young children, you know the pain I am describing: The agony of liberating new toys from their plastic packaging. It used to be that on Christmas morning all a parent needed nearby was a camera, a pad and pen to jot down who gave what to whom, and maybe, maybe, a single pair of scissors to release a few stubborn pieces of tape. (Though, if someone in the family had sharp teeth you could skip … Continue reading →

The Christmas Shopping Blues

Is anybody else having trouble finding gifts this season? Living out in the country already means shopping is limited, but this year, it’s even worse. With early predictions that it would be an unremarkable Christmas shopping season, retailers seem to be playing it cautious. Simply put, they aren’t ordering enough of anything to keep shelves stocked, apparently afraid that they’ll get stuck with merchandise that will have to be sold at huge post- holiday discounts. Of course, I do love a good after Christmas sale, but right now, I could use a little pre-Christmas help. I guess I’m going to … Continue reading →

Musician’s Friend – Free Gifts with Purchase

My husband, Paul, is a musician. No, he doesn’t do it for a living. As a matter of fact, he gives away the majority of his music. It’s his passion. And it’s expensive.

Fortunately, Musician’s Friend is going much higher-end! Buy a Kay Chicago Blues Harmonica, get a free Monitor Stand. The harmonica’s are on clearance for less than $3. The monitor stand retails for $79.95, but is really … Continue reading →

Toys ‘R Us Lego Sale with Free Shipping

I’ve loved Legos since I was a kid. Yes, they had them back then. Of course, at that time, they were mostly red, white, and blue bricks, without a lot of the fancy things they have now. My boys have crates full of them, from Star Wars-themed ones, to a half-finished scale model of the White House. It’s one toy that they don’t grow out of. My dad is a Lego collector. His passion for them only grows every year. There’s no end in sight as his room fills up more and more with cowboys and Indians in various displays, … Continue reading →

For the Coffee Lover in Your Life

Staples is clearing out their coffee gift sets. Right now, they have Harmony Bay Gourmet Collections on sale for $2.90 per set. Each set contains five 1.75 oz canisters including Belgian chocolate, eggnog, vanilla crème, holiday roast, and cinnamon pecan. My husband is a coffee drinker. For me, the occasional cup of instant is fine (if only it tasted as good as it smelled!). Not so with his palate. He really enjoys coffee, especially the flavored kind. During the week, it’s more a wake-up juice, but I try to have the good stuff for him on the weekends. It can … Continue reading →
