Great Prices Here

It’s going to be Valentines Days soon and I was looking for unique, unusual Valentines day gifts that don’t cost the earth. I have done many posts about valentines day in the years past, About My Plans for Valentines Day, about DVD Gifts for Valentines Day, about Fine Wines for Valentines Day, about some of the usual (and cheesy I admit it) Valentines Day Gifts, and I even did a post about some Free Valentines Day Gifts which can be put together with little or no monetary cost but which will fetch you lots of brownie points for time and effort invested.

Now one idea that I had was these Flying lanterns which I can launch for Valentines day. These symbolize knowledge and wisdom and are traditionally used by the Chinese to celebrate their new year; but who’s to say I cannot use them for Valentines Day! They fly up into the air and last about 20 minutes traveling several miles and then the flame blows out and they descend to the ground; quite safe. So perhaps I could write something meaningful on each of them and l could launch several! They cost less than five dollars each.

I think that our sense of smell can be very evocative, and can take us back to a time and place in the past or can recall minding a particular happening or person unerringly. Perfumes can therefore be a very important part of the whole process of dressing; more particularly dressing up! I for one don’t feel ready to go out for the evening until I not only look but also smell good! There are certain fragrances that I absolutely love and thought to look for the best prices available on the net.

I have loved this fragrance Paris since I was a little girl and it epitomizes romance for me. Here, I found each of the package sizes on a discount. The 1.7 oz eau de toilette spray is on a 32% discount, available at $32.80 down from $57.

Pieces of furniture, wall colors etc ., even if not very remarkable, can be offset by a few individual and even quirky touches here and there to make a interesting and unusual whole. A few interesting home accents can enhance your home by making it unique and giving it your own personal stamp. A little wall art here a whimsical garden ornament there, can do a lot to give your home character.

I think it is a great idea to have some greenery inside the home or perhaps on the porch, for this it is a good idea to get a matched set of planters, such as this one here; a metal planter set of three for just $50. I also liked this set of two planters, tall and elegant for $79.

My favorite time of year is coming soon; Christmas. I still remember the excitement of going to bed on Christmas Eve when I was a child; the almost breathless excitement in the anticipation of Santa Claus coming with his bag full of goodies while I slept so that when I woke up there would be all these lovely surprises waiting for me! After all Christmas is all about giving and sharing and gifting, so go forth and shop! If we can find discounts, all the better! And No! It is not cheap to buy discounted gifts, it is merely smart!

Last year, the most popular Halloween Costumes for kids were Princess, Spiderman, Witch, Disney Princess, Star Wars characters, Pumpkin, Ghost and Power Ranger. For adults is was witch, vampire, cat, princes, fairy, wench/tart, clown, angel and nurse. Here I read an interesting post about what may be the hot and happening trends for this year’s Halloween. So let’s go bargain hunting for Halloween!

People, I just bought me a new cell phone: it is this really sleek and smart Nokia, from their XpressMusic series. I will freely confess that it was not a discount or anything of the sort that convinced me to buy it, just the fact that I thought that the phone I got was good value for money and feature packed and so pretty! I can’t help it; I love red, and the phone felt really nice in my hands! Besides I am brand loyal to Nokia, I have owned a Nokia for the past 4 years, and love its logical and easy navigation.

Hi All, I have now been blogging for most of this year and this is a landmark 100^th post for this blog! I feel some sense of achievement and also wanted to mark the occasion with a post about some stylish looks for under $100. So read on and tell me what you think:

I loved these Boyfriend straight jeans in stretch for $39.50 in dark blue (the best color for denim ever). Team the jeans with this banded tank top for $11 from Go Jane, (visit this page to take a look at some really affordable but smart items for under $25) and then add a smart pair of shoes such as these stylish red shoes for $39 and you have a pretty stylish, go anywhere ensemble which can take you clubbing, and intimate dinner date, or anything.

Now jewelry is not something that you and I buy routinely or casually, usually it is a rare buy for a special occasion or a special gift for a special someone. Certainly an excellent gift if that special someone is a woman! After all jewelry (not just diamonds) are supposed to be a girl’s best friend. If for instance a very good friend or close relative is getting married, or expecting a child or turning 25 or whatever, it behooves one to make a pretty substantial gift on the occasion.

Silver earrings or a silver ring would be a very appropriate for someone turning 25 (silver jubilee, 25 years get it?). Overstock has some beautiful designs on sale here, and I loved this Silver Filigree ring at 52% off for $23.99. The sales page has plenty of really pretty designs of rings, earrings, pendants, bangles, bracelets etc. Really worth a look see.

Those of us who have pets know that a pet is pretty much a part of the family and as part of the family we want what is best for our pet. A pet’s needs are not many: food, immunization, accessories etc (for which we shall attempt to find good discounts) and of course lots of love (which cannot be bought and for which therefore we cannot go bargain hunting).

Pet smart.com is a pretty comprehensive site which deals in all things pet related and is conveniently divided into categories: dog, cat, bird, fish, reptile, etc. Within those categories you can find the sub categories for feeding, habitat creation (even habitat décor), grooming related products, toys, treats etc. They have a store locator which will help you see what are the in store discounts or specials that are available within your area. Here you will find discounted items like a tortoise play pen, light dome, backgrounds for pet cages etc.

I’ve talked about celebrity look alike items (or knock-offs if you prefer that term) before, and touched on the topic of handbags, but those among us who feel passionately about hand bags would agree that several posts and not just part of one post can be devoted to the topic of bags, bags and more bags! Since we are all about discounts or at the very least good value for money, let’s talk about designer ‘inspired’. Let’s face it, if you want a smart, current look and don’t want to do that at the expense of a second mortgage, then you have to consider this option.

Style in the bag is a good collection of bags which has a selection of evening bags and clutches and a good designer inspired section. This classic black clutch (Calvin Klein inspired) would be great to grace any occasion with but will set you back by $19.94! [Read more →]
