Deals of the Week

      I had so much fun scouring the Internet for deals last week that I decided to do it again. I hope that this helps with finishing up your Christmas shopping. There's pretty much something for everyone. 

     Again, I recommend signing up for Ebates if you plan on doing any online shopping. You basically get paid to shop online. Here's the low-down.  

• Register (for free) with an e-mail address and click on one of the 1,500 retailers listed on the site to shop. If you buy something, you will get an e-rebate on your total purchase (for instance, 6 percent cash back at Macy's.) 
• There are no fees or forms to mail in - they just send you a check in the mail! Now is a great time to sign up because many stores are doubling and even tripling the amount of cashback you can earn while holiday shopping. 
• I have already earned more than $35 in two weeks since I joined last week by shopping through Ebates at Clinique, The Disney Store, and Old Navy. Join HERE. 
• Today only, receive double cash back at more than 500 stores. For example, 8 percent back at Sephora, 10 percent back at Harry and David, and 10 percent back at Sears. 
• Free $10 giftcard of your choice when you sign up. (I chose Target).

      
    And here are some of the deals I've found for this week. Some are only valid for today, so act fast!

1. Discounted Umba box subscriptions

Although their limited edition holiday subscription is sold out, Umba Box still has several gifting options available. Umba Box is a monthly subscription box that includes handmade jewelry, accessories, home decor, and other items. Their regular gift subscriptions can be purchased using several discount codes through Wednesday (Dec. 12) and the subscription will begin in January. Use the code HOHOHO5 for $5 off a three-month subscription, HOHOHO10 for $10 off a six-month subscription, and HOHOHO20 for $20 off a 12-month subscription. Or if you want to give an Umba Box for Christmas, they still have a small number of December boxes available for sale in their Online Shop.  These will ship the next business day via USPS Priority shipping, and must be purchased before December 17 to ensure pre-Christmas arrival.

2. 30 percent off at Land's End + 6 percent cash back at Ebates

The Ebates 12 Days of Deals deal of the day is 30 percent off at Land's End, plus free shipping on orders over $50 and 6 percent cash back if you shop through your Ebates account. The promo code DASHER gets you the free shipping. 

3. 30 percent off gift sets at Starbucks 12 Days of Gifting

Through its 12 Days of Gifting, Starbucks is offering 30 percent off on gift sets today. Also, if you look at the bottom left side of Starbuck's main webpage, you will see a place where you can sign up for e-mail updates and receive a 10 percent off coupon. Sign up and shop through your Ebates account and you will also earn 7 percent cash back today only (normally 3.5 percent cash back). 

4. $40 Best Buy giftcard with purchase of two video games

For a limited time, you can receive a $40 Best Buy giftcard with the purchase of two select  video games. Be sure to sign up with and shop through Ebates to get 1.5 percent cash back on your purchase in addition to this deal. Some games that are part of this deal include: Halo 4, Madden NFL 13, Just Dance 4, Far Cry 3, Assassin's Creed 3, and several others. Just go to Best Buy's website through your Ebates account, click on the video games tab under products and the deal is one of four listed in a ticker at the top of the page. Also at Best Buy today, you can receive up to 15 percent off on ITunes gift cards. 

5. MomAgenda and MyAgenda planners for up to 51 percent off

Fab is offering MomAgenda and MyAgenda desktop planners for $25 and mini planners for $20. That makes the planners between 42 and 51 percent off. I love these planners and used them for three years before I bought my Erin Condren planner. Other than not having tabs, I still really like this planner. It is nice and thick like a book and the patterns and colors are really beautiful and vibrant. They come in red, scarlet, violet, tangerine, python, and leopard. I love that leopard print one! This sale ends this coming weekend. 

6. Citrus Lane 2-month subscription for $40

Use the code HOLIDAY10 to receive $10 off a two-month gift subscription to Citrus Lane. This offer expires December 10 (today) so act fast! Just click the link above and look under the Gift Tab for a 2-month subscription listed at $50. Once you use the code, you will get two months of surprise goodies for your favorite baby or toddler for just $40. Try it for yourself or give it as a gift. 

7. Join or make a purchase from The Honest Company and get a $10 credit

      If you join The Honest Company subscription or sign-up with their site and make a purchase from their store using a referral link, you will automatically earn a $10 credit in your account. This deal is only good for the month of December. I love the company and you can read more about them and find my reviews HERE and HERE. Last week, they released three new products: bathroom cleaner, floor cleaner, and toilet bowl cleaner. I am excited to try them out when I get my next shipment. I have pushed it back eight weeks because we have tons of diapers left from our last shipment. I don't know about other people, but a month's supply from The Honest Company always lasts us more than a month so although the price might seem high for their diapers, we don't have to buy them every four weeks. Their gift kits are also available through December. To receive $10 off a purchase of $40 or more, use the code TOTL$M50MHM. 

8. Amazon Book Deals

Amazon has a great daily book deal each day from December 3-14. They put one hardcover best-selling book on sale for 75 percent off or more from noon to 4 p.m. EST. There have been some great books featured typically for between $2.99 and $4.99. And they sell out super fast, so you need to check right at noon or else you might be too late. Some of the books that have been part of the 12 Days, 12 Deals special are: "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn, "Killing Lincoln" by Bill O'Reilly, "Winter of the World" by Ken Follett, and "Recipes You Can Trust" by Ina Garten, aka The Barefoot Contessa. Also, they have a daily giveaway called The 12 Days of Books Giveaway on the same page where you can enter to win a $250 Amazon giftcard.
