Free Shipping Friday

I still have a couple of edible gift ideas to share with you, but I wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of this week's Free Shipping Friday. If you click the link, you will be taken to a website listing over 2,000 online merchants that will be offering free shipping on Friday, December 16th only, with guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve (keep in mind that some stores may require a minimum purchase)! If you have any remaining Christmas shopping to do (let's face it, I haven't even started!) this is a great incentive to do your shopping online this year.

Here are just a few of the many merchants participating:

I recently sent Shari's Berries strawberries as a birthday gift, 

and they were very well-received! 

Basically every store you can think of is participating, along with quite a few etsy & ebay sellers! Be sure to check out the current list of participating merchants here (full list will be revealed at 12:00 am EST 12/16). Happy shopping!

(Thank you Mrs. Jansson, for posting about this amazing deal!)

Possible Christmas Gift Ideas

This is a random post, but I've come across some deals today, and I wanted to share! I have holiday shopping on the brain so I hope this helps some of you with your own gift-giving.

Mud Pie is at Zulily! This is another daily deal website geared more towards moms so the majority of deals are for kids items. But there are a good number of women's deals as well. There are some cute items from Mud Pie at discounted prices that would make great gifts (the sale ends 11/21 at 6am).

Set of 3 Aluminum Water Bottles - $17.99

Set of 3 Photo Albums - $13.99

Lounge Pants & Boxer Set - $21.99

I'm really excited about this one. This weekend, Old Navy is having two 5 Hour Doorbuster Sales! 

Saturday, 11/19, from 12pm-5pm, all adult outerwear will be 75% off! 

Sunday, 11/20, from 12pm-5pm, all adult sweaters will be 75% off! 

This is a great deal and perfect time to stock up on some winter clothes or gifts for your family and friends! I love to give my girlfriends a nice sweater and add a cute scarf. This is a great way to keep it budget-friendly. Keep in mind that this sale excludes clearance items and is IN STORE only.

Mamapedia is a daily deal website for moms, but even if you are not a mom, there are usually some good deals that you will enjoy. I have purchased a Pro Flowers deal for Mother's Day and a voucher for a monogramming website as well. Currently, there is a $40 voucher to Bloom.com for only $20 (offer expires 11/23). This website sells a bunch of top brands like OPI, Burt's Bees, CoverGirl, and Sally Beauty products that would make good stocking stuffers or additions to gifts for your girlfriends.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! We are taking it easy and getting in our last minute training sessions before the 5K on Thanksgiving! I'm so ready for a break from work so Las Vegas can't come soon enough.

Online Deal @ Paper Coterie!

One of my favorite coupon bloggers, Hip2Save, posted about a deal on Paper Coterie for $30 off any purchase through November 13 (not including shipping)! I've only read positive reviews for this company so I decided to check it out. Awhile ago, I thought of this great idea to make a recipe book for Chris' mom for Christmas. We exchange recipes fairly often so I thought a compilation of my favorite baking recipes would be a perfect gift for her. I was delighted to see that Paper Coterie offers custom-made recipe books for only $17.

It was really easy to personalize the book with my own pictures and text. I was able to add 15 recipes to the book, a personalized message, a table of contents page, and 4 full pages of color pictures. Once I added it to my cart, used the promo code, and selected the shipping method, I only paid $6.95 out of pocket! 

Here is an example of one page out of the recipe book:

Paper Coterie has so many other options to purchase, most under $30, so you could be getting a free product(s) if you take advantage of this deal by November 13. With the holidays coming up, I am trying to save money/get deals on everything so I wanted to share this awesome deal with my readers. Hopefully this will help some of you out, too!

I wanted to share a positive experience I had with my blog readers.
