Merry Christmas!

by Bargain Briana on December 25, 2008

on sale

Hope you are having a Merry Christmas!

It may be too early for some people to start thinking about next year’s Christmas BUT the after Christmas sales are a great time to stock up on all your holiday needs. Most stores will have all the Christmas decorations, wrappings, holiday sets at least 50% off on December 26th. The discounts keep continuing until it is all gone. Don’t wait too long as the selection will just keep dwindling.

Also, if you have a few extra bucks, keep checking Amazon.com’s Mover & Shaker’s List list as this is also a good opportunity to stock up on upcoming birthdays and even for the holidays next year. Subscribe to the Mover & Shaker’s list of your choice to get the best deals right away! (I subscribe to the Toy Mover & Shaker list!)

Last Minute Gift Idea

by Bargain Briana on December 21, 2008

Purchase an Amazon.com Gift Card for those last minute gifts or those who are impossible to buy for. Don’t we all have one of those on our list! There are so many amazing deals & items to choose from that anyone who knows how to buy on the internet would be happy to receive a Amazon.com Gift Card.

Two days left to receive your items by December 24th with 2 day shipping from Amazon.com. Have a lot of gifts still left to buy? Consider purchasing Amazon Prime and you will receive 2 day shipping FREE for a year with no minimum shipping size. You will also be able to upgrade to next day shipping for a mere $3.99 per order. Not all items sold on Amazon are eligible for Prime but most are eligible. Items sold by 3rd party sellers are excluded. I’ve found most items sold by Amazon.com directly are eligible - even larger items like the Rose Petal Cottage and Garment Steamers. This is something I invested in last year as I was doing my last minute shopping. It has saved me a ton over the past year but also keeps me going back to Amazon. Buy it only if the benefits for YOU will outweigh the cost - $79/year.

Receive 1 Amazon Exclusive Bear by Gund ($19.99 value) free when you purchase $60.00 or more of Qualifying Items offered by Amazon.com. It looks like most toys are qualifying for this!

Here’s how to Receive your Amazon Exclusive Bear by Gund ($19.99 value) free when you purchase $60.00 or more of Qualifying Items offered by Amazon.com:

To receive the Bonus with Purchase discount:

Add all products described in the promotional offer message to your Shopping Cart one of two ways:

b. Via the Add to Shopping Cart button on each respective product information page.
The value of the Bonus item will be reflected on the final order checkout page and will be allocated proportionally to all participating promotion items in the Shopping Cart, including the Bonus item itself. For example, if the promotion offers one Bonus item worth $10 for free when you purchase 2 items worth $20 each, the value of the $10 item will be divided proportionately between the three items, so that the Bonus item will appear with a $2 discount, and each of the two other items will appear with a $4 discount.
