Great Deal: Secret Sale time at Vera Bradley

Love all things Vera Bradley? The Secret Sale is on, and that means savings of up to 60% on all of the things you love—everything from purses and duffels to watches and other accessories.

And how cute are their shopper totes (pictured here)? Seriously adorable. I’m thinking that at the sale price of just $4, it could be time to stock up for teacher gifts.

Hooray for a great deal!

Bodum Teapot

I’ve become a tea granny (again) in the last year. Tea was my warm beverage of choice growing up and then once I had kids I switched to coffee in the hopes that it would give me a little extra energy. After a bout of “sensitive stomach” last spring, I switched back to tea, preferably green. I realized last week that steeping it in a tea pot (as opposed to in my mug) would be great, but … I don’t have a tea pot. I mentioned this on Twitter and immediately had four recommendations for Bodum.

Great Deal: PowerCapes for everyone!

Categories: Great Deal, Great Gift Ideas, Kid Stuff

You know there’s little I like more than a great deal on something the kids are going to totally love, and so a price break on PowerCapes fits that bill nicely. Right now at Mamasource Deals you can snag a $40 voucher to PowerCapes for just $20.

Choose from three different cape sizes, customize by color, design, even logos and/or initials. Go whole hog with the coordinating shirt, wrist cuffs, and mask, or just do the cape. The possibilities are nearly endless.

What kid doesn’t love being a superhero? And what parent wouldn’t love to make it happen for half price? That’s a great deal!

A Must-Have: An Illuminated Makeup Mirror

A friend and I were talking about some of the gadgets we had growing up and one that came up was the lighted mirror I had. It was rectangular, with “doors” that were extra mirrors when opened. The mirror had different settings for “day”, “night”, etc. I used it DAILY back when I was single and … I don’t know whatever happened to it. Currently, I do my makeup under fluorescent light, and while I know what I’m doing, I often find things I need to fix once I hit daylight. I think this mirror will keep me from frightening small children, mine or others.

Great Deal: The early bird gets the discount patio furniture

Categories: Great Deal, Home Style

While I’m always a sucker for the Target Daily Deals—one-day discounts on various items, plus free shipping—today I’m really digging ‘em, because they’ve extended the deals to an entire category. For one day only, they’re offering free shipping and an extra 10% off any one Home sale item. The free shipping alone is a huge perk (furniture is heavy!), but today they’ve also got most of their patio furniture marked up to 40% off, so altogether you’re looking at huge savings if you’re willing to plan ahead.

Can you see past the snow and imagine those lazy Summer days, lounging out back on the furniture you were smart enough to buy on the cheap in January? I can!

It was my birthday this past weekend, and two of my girlfriends went together to buy me an apron. Practicality aside (I’m always wiping my hands on my clothes), it’s cute and stylish. Kitsch N’ Glam has a great assortment of fun aprons, tote bags, and other attire.

Great Deal: Sonic Pro Toothbrush

Maybe your New Year’s resolutions included better oral hygiene—don’t laugh, I’m forever vowing to floss more often—or maybe not, but either way, you may want to take a look over at the Mamasource Deals today to scoop up a great bargain on a sonic toothbrush.

$69 gets you the 32,000-sonic-strokes-per-minute toothbrush, extra brush heads, and charging stand… all with free shipping. That’s a savings of over 50% off retail! And you can buy up to five for yourself and more for gifts, so even if you have a large family, you’re set.

They say you can’t put a price on great health, but all the same, I’m calling this one a great deal.

Fashion: Saphire ring

My husband surprised me at Christmas with a beautiful ring full of sapphire stones. Upon looking at Etsy, I think that he spent more than what would be an “affordable” luxury. This ring is pretty cute, though, and is definitely affordable.

Fashion: Bright colors

Our very own Susan posted about how to wear color this spring. I was looking for a few items of clothing for my daughter and this tote caught my eye (I need a new one). I tend to wear a lot of dark/neutral colors in the winter and this would be just the thing to brighten up my often dreary ensemble.

Great Deal: Everything Star Wars, lowest price ever

Head on over to Amazon today and you can pick up the complete Star Wars saga on Blu-ray—that’s all the movies, plus extras, on 9 discs—for just $70 shipped. That’s the lowest price it’s ever been!

It’s a perfect family gift if you’re of the geeky persuasion, and hours of entertainment for all. Even better, if your kids have never seen the “old” movies, you get to relive your youth while sharing Ewoks with your offspring. Perfect.
