Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shopping Deals

I do more and more shopping online these days, and have found some really good bargains.  Not to mention, no crowded malls, fighting for a parking space, and no kiddie meltdowns.

I have put together some of the deals business owners of online shops are having for Black Friday and Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving).  Some of these store owners I know from Twitter, and they have beautiful and creative items in their stores.  If you are thinking of shopping online, check out the deals they have.  You will probably find that perfect and unique gift, and save money at the same time. 

Ambajam– (a sponsor of A Mama’s Blog as well!)-Baby clothes, hip & cute onesies, baby blankets, quilts, and more. I love these adorable Mini Cuddle-up Baby Blankets.  Ambajam is offering 25% off the ENTIRE collection, Black Friday weekend: Friday-Sunday. Use promo code: BF25

Kajeet Phones-This is a mobile phone service w/parental controls that kids will still really like.  The phones have a GPS locator, no contracts or termination fees, and parental controls to help parents control how much money is spent, what times the phone can or cannot be used, and who can or cannot text your child.  Janie, one of members of the Kajeet Mom Team is having a special that starts on Thursday for an additional  15% off the cost of the Kajeet phone (which is already on sale), when you sign up through her blog here.  If you sign up and leave her a comment or e-mail her at: scarytwins [at] yahoo [dot] com, she will give you a promo code to save an extra $10 when the phone is activated. 

Land of Nod– I love this quirky children’s store.  Think Pottery Barn kids, but a little more funky. They have Classic Toys, Wooden Toys, Kitchen & Grocery Toys, Stocking Stuffers, Toys for Baby, gifts specific for Hanukkah and more!  They are offering FREE SHIPPING on ANY order (excludes furniture), through Monday, December 1st.  Use promo code: PRESENTS.  You can click on the widget below to start shopping.

MyChelle DermaceuticalsFor one day ONLY, Friday November 28th, their ENTIRE line is 20% off. This is the only skin care line I have been using, and this is an excellent deal.  MyChelle’s products are always free from phthalates, parabens, propylene glycol, ureas, EDTA, fragrances, encapulated nano particles, and artificial colors.  Their products actually work, and do what they say they will.  They are made in Frisco, CO and are great for skin in dry climates.  I have super sensitive and dry skin, and after using the Honeydew Cleanser, and Deep Repair Cream, my skin feels like butter.  This is the best skin care line I have ever used, and they have so many wonderful products- from the honeydew cleanser (my favorite) to their incredible pumpkin peel– I just can’t say enough wonderful things about their products.  Any item from MyChelle would make a wonderful gift, or a treat for you.  Don’t miss this special one day sale!

T-Shirt Outlet.com Site wide sale on novelty T-shirts.  ALL shirts are $12 or less!  Designs include House M.D, The Office, and Green Designs.  The sale starts at midnight, Thursday (Thanksgiving Day,) and ends December 1st.

Tyme2dream is offering FREE SHIPPING with the purchase of any three items, and this includes international shipping.

Little Pumpkin Sweet Pea Designs– (shameless plug) This my Cafe Press store, and I offer stylish, fun, and trendy designs for baby, children, women, and maternity.  I also offer breastfeeding and birth designs, and designs for Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma.  One of my best selling items, which is a very unique gift, is this design available for onesies, kids shirts, hats, and adult shirts, “My Grandpa (or Dad) Can Fix Anything“. I also carry bibs and bumper stickers.  Since Cafe Press is in charge of what specials they have, I am not sure if there are any Black Friday specials, but I keep my prices low every day.  I am sure you can find a cute shirt or bib for your child, or that perfect maternity shirt for your friend at a reasonable price. 

I hope this guide helps you find that perfect gift on your list.  Have fun shopping from the comfort of home, and I’d love to hear if you end up finding a gift, and which one it was, from this post.  Please leave me a comment if you do.  Happy Shopping!

    Global Giving

    BlogHers Act: Donate Now to Save Women's Lives

    BlogHer has announced that it has teamed up Global Giving in an effort to save as many women’s lives as possible between now and Mother’s Day. 

    We are so very fortunate to live in an area in the world, where we as women, have access to world class health care.  Unfortunately for many women across the globe, just basic health care, let alone specialized maternity care is not available.  Consider some of the statistics hundreds of thousands of women (and their babies) have to face (as posted on BlogHer):   

    * Every year, 529,000 women die from pregnancy-related causes.
    * Children who have lost their mothers are up to 10 more times more likely to die prematurely than those who haven’t.
    * Most maternal deaths (61 per cent) take place during labour, delivery or in the immediate post-partum period. Some 3.4 million newborns die within the first week of life.
    UNFPA

    From the Mother and Child Clinic in Nepal, to helping mothers safely birth healthy babies in Afghanistan, (where a woman dies of pregnancy-related causes every 27 minutes), the Global Giving projects can help save women’s lives in these desperate areas. 

    BlogHer has joined forces with Global Giving to make a difference in maternal health, and help save lives. BlogHer wants to find out how many women’s lives can be saved from donations between now and Mother’s Day.  

    I am joining Amy from Crunchy Domestic Goddess, and will donate 50% of the sales from my on-line store, Little Pumpkin Sweet Pea Designs,  for the rest of April until Mother’s Day to the BlogHers Act/Global Giving project. 

    If you have browsed my store before, and have had your eye on something, now is a perfect time to go for it.  Obviously you will have a cute shirt, but more importantly you will be helping to make a difference in maternal health for women who greatly need it. 

    If you have never browsed the store before, click here (or at the above link,) or on the store button in the right hand sidebar.  This isn’t a post to promote my store, only a way to help raise money for this great cause, so I am only providing the link to the store, and not showing any pictures or links to any of the items. 

    You can also make a donation directly to the Global Giving project, by clicking here (or on the button at the top of the post).  Please consider helping out in anyway you can.  After reading what some of these women have to endure, it puts it all in perspective how very lucky we really are.
