Great Deal: Bed in a Bag!

Categories: Great Deal, Home Style

No Comments

You are checking the Target Daily Deals every day, right? Four different prices-slashed deals, all available for just one day only with free shipping? Of course you are.

But just in case you happened to forget to check today, they have—amongst other things—a Maui Flowers bed-in-a-bag set starting at just $37 for twin size. Get your order up to $50+ (either with the queen size set or by adding other items to your order) and you can click through this link here to activate a $5 off $50+ coupon, too.

But I do love a brightly-colored bed ensemble as an easy way to feel like you did a room makeover, for not a lot of cash. I suspect many a teen would feel the same way about this set, so go on—be the hero, and don’t tell her what it cost.

Home Style: Modern Twist Placemats

I absolutely adore these stylish and incredibly practical placemats. The subtle, pretty patterns are hand silk-screened on non-toxic silicone that can be wiped down after use. Yes, this means that these are good enough for company and for family meals where spills are common.

Fill each with small branches of early-spring blossoms, a spray of colorful wildflowers, or even dried glasses or quirky-looking twigs.

Scatter a field of flowers or a flurry of dragonflies on any wall in your home. Designed by Marion Lanktree and sold by Umbra, the tiny sculptures have special snap-on connectors that allow you to hang them with just a thumbtack.

Choose from stark white, deep pink, black, kiwi green, or chrome; they’re perfect for a hallway, foyer, teen’s bedroom, or even a bathroom. The brushed-nickle dragonflies also come with several sizes in a set, and are striking by themselves or arranged around other artwork.

Great Deal: Home Decorators Outlet

You’ve been looking at finding that perfect chair for the corner or a TV stand that isn’t collapsing in the middle (don’t laugh, I’ve been there). But most of us are hardly in a position to waltz into a fancy furniture store and pay what this stuff tends to cost, right now; on the other hand, who wants to buy cheap, crummy stuff?

The answer, of course, is The Home Decorators Outlet, where quality home furnishing overstocks go to be sold at rock-bottom prices. And through the end of October, you’ll get an extra $25 off your $150+ order, automatically.

It’s all the same stuff from the fancypants stores, at Recession-friendly prices. I love that you can browse by “Price Cuts,” too—I always start with the 80% off section. Of course.
