10 Gifts Under $10.00

December 11th, 2008 |

Author: Candace

I love Christmas shopping. Call me crazy, but the hustle and bustle, the crowds, the decorations, the Christmas music, the fighting for a parking space…it all screams Christmas and makes me so happy. Now before you get upset with me, I truly do know the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus is my Lord and Savior and I am so thankful for his birth. But I still love shopping.

My husband thinks I am crazy – why fight the crowds when you can shop from home with the convenience of the internet? Well just in case any of you are on his side, I’ve found some great gifts online. Best part? They are all under $10.00!

Men: Men’s Contrast-Yoke Waffle-Knit Tees - $9.00

With a contrast color yoke and exposed stitching, this standout waffle-knit tee doesn’t need to hide under button-front shirts or hoodies. But it will if you ask nicely.

Other colors available: Heather Gray, Dark Sea Blue, and Bright White.

These are regularly $16.50!

Personalized Snowman Family Ornament – $8.95

This cute ceramic ornament is perfect for a family of 5. Or a family of 4 with 1 dog. Or a family of 3 with 2 cats. The 5 snowmen are personalized with family member names, making it a memorable ornament that will be cherished for years.

Leather Utility Case – $10.00

This brown leather utility case makes a great gift or any man who travels, or needs a place to keep his toiletries.

Blank Mini Journal – $5.95

I happen to be of the belief that you can never have too many journals. That is why this is the perfect gift! It is the perfect size for your purse, and has blank pages to fill in with whatever you want.

Magazine Subsciption - $10 and under

There are a lot of great magazines you can get subscriptions for that cost less than $10.00: Field & Stream, Family Fun, Good Housekeeping, Women’s Day, Parenting, Outdoor Life, Motor Trend, Shape…and so many more!

6-piece Screwdriver Set - $7.99

This 6-piece set ensures you will have the right screwdriver, when you need it. The set features comfort grip handles with chrome vanadium steel blades, and precision black oxide tip to securely grip fastener. All of which I am sure are really great features!

Snowman and Two Green Trees Candleholder – $9.99

This darling winter wonderland scene doesn’t need to be packed up after Christmas – it can be used all winter long. The snowman and 2 trees warmly glow with the use of a single tealight.

Corsair 8GB Flash Voyager USB Flash Drive – $9.99 (after rebate)

This USB drive works with most operating systems including PCs and MACs. The rubber casing makes it easy to hold, and water resistant. And with 8 GB of memory, it is a great solution for transporting MP3’s, pictures, digital files, presentations, and so much more!

Shanghai Blossoms Write Away Stationery- $9.00

Let’s bring letter writing back in style! With an overall kimono-style pattern of chrysanthemums and exotic blooms, Shanghai Blossoms comes in tones of heathery lavendar and blue and in pink and apricot hues. Perfectly adaptable for warm or cool moods. 10 melon, 10 heather envelopes to mix and match. 20 5-7/8 x 8-1/4″ letter sheets, 2 complementary designs, 20 matching envelopes with interior designs, 20 colorful seals. Sturdy string-fastened acetate case.

Silpat Nonstick Silicone Baking Mat – $9.99

In case anyone is taking notes, this is high on my Christmas list this year! This baking mat works wonderfully as baking pan liner or as a working surface because of its silicon and fiberglass non-stick surface which makes it very easy to clean. It is completely safe in freezers or microwaves. Up to 3,000 uses or more per mat.

So what great gift deals have you found this season? Tell me all about it ’cause I love hearing about deals and ways you’ve saved money!!

Black Friday Deals

November 26th, 2008 |

Black Friday

It is such a strange name isn’t it? Since about the 1960’s, the day after Thanksgiving has been known as Black Friday, and is touted as the biggest shopping day of the year. The term began in Philadelphia because of all of the traffic that was out that day each year. Also, since Black Friday signals the official beginning of the Christmas season, many retailers refer to it as the time when they will be in the black, instead of the red. So the name Black Friday stuck.

Save Money!

What does Black Friday mean to us? Deals, deals, and more deals! For us frugal shoppers, Black Friday can be one of the best days of the year to get our Christmas shopping done. My advice? Save gas, save time and shop online! Here are some deals that I’ve found on the Internet. In the interest of full disclosure, I will tell you that these links have an affiliate code in them. What that means is if you buy something through the link, you are helping to support Frugal Mom. Just keeping it real.
