Just curious, what has been your best holiday deal or score so far?

So far, my best deal has been 75% off a case for my new kindle. :D

Playmobil Asian zoo for 50% off! For DS2 from my parents.

I was already pretty happy to get the main zoo for 25% as DS2's big present.

I was happy to purchase my holiday cards at Snapfish with 20% off through ebates, and then 25% and free shipping with bigsave as a code.

199 kinect bundle with xbox 4g, with a 50 dollar amazon credit, bringing it to about 150. Super happy about that one.

Scored DD a bitty baby starter set (no baby, she has one already) for half off of 90 bucks, so 45. THat doesn't get the best reviews but she really wants the backpack carrier thing.

Does she have the orange/pink set? I've never seen it IRL but the set up now has kind of poor reviews for style. I am not too concerned at half off. Crossing my fingers. We are going to the AG store on Friday as an early bday present, so I'll get to see it in person. I think some of the sets in the past have gotten better reviews.

That's not the one we have, ours is solid. Hope it works out!

So far, an M&D shopping cart from B&N for $24.98 - somehow got them to honor the 50% for that... then of course was worried that they would cancel and hedged my bets by getting another one from yoyo.com for $29.39 :bag

I got a Canon 60D for $664 a couple days ago through the Chase Ultimate Rewards program. Currently it's going for $999 at Amazon (3rd party), and CCC says the lowest price EVER was $870, so I'm pretty thrilled with the price I got! I'm a bit nervous because it still hasn't shipped, so I'm crossing my fingers that the transaction will go through without a problem!

I think probably the M&D unit blocks that some of us got from JCP for $11.xx - but that was a pricing error, so maybe that doesn't count! They're on Amazon for $49.xx.

Pricing errors totally count.

I am pretty jazzed about the Magic Treehouse books from YoYo.com....I think they ended up shipping for $18 for books 1-28.

I am also thrilled about snagging three of the Abe's Market vouchers. With my first one I bought DH some organic wool socks for his stocking, 6 pack of organic socks for the girls and organic leggings for me....and the total was $12.50 I think because I had Plum bucks for whatever.

Ooooh and yesterday I got two of the Kidorable vouchers and ordered two umbrellas and mittens for the girls. I believe I paid about $15 total for that because of referral credits. I wasn't planning on buying those but I think the girls are actually going to be thrilled with the umbrellas they are always trying to open them at the store.

Those Rainboots from Target that I got for the girls wound up being SUPER CUTE! Those were what, $3 or $4 each? I bought something else with them and it took an additional random code off making them more like $2 from what I could figure. Very cool.

I just wish I could find something good for DH....he is so tricky!

I was pretty happy with the $84.99 I paid for the 3-user Office 2010 from Amazon on Black Friday. Also, the Thames & Kosmos Chem1000 set from Barnes and Noble with a 40% off coupon.

So far my favorite are the $1.50 gift card holders I ordered from CampfireDesigns on Etsy. They are so cute! And what a fun way to give a gift card...

And from the same shop, the Starbucks card notepads. Cutest. Idea. Ever.


Seriously, check them out - http://www.etsy.com/shop/CampfireDesigns?section_id=5628096

(PS, I don't know the owner of the shop. I am just obsessed, obsessed, obsessed with Etsy and plan on doing 99% of my holiday shopping there.)

And again, for the kids (under 3 crowd) - this shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ScribblerCrayons?ref=ss_profile

It might have been the Melissa and Doug unit blocks - that was a fantastic deal.

But I was even more excited by the ecomom deal - I managed to order the Hape Solar Powered Bamboo dollhouse, the living room set, and the kitchen set for the house. After discounts I got it all for about $80, and grandparents are going to buy the other rooms of furniture. I love that dollhouse and can't wait to give it to dd!

So happy I got the Hanna red velour twirl dress for $15 from the outlets- thanks to you all who updated about the sale. I was right- DD absolutely LOVES it- we are having friends over to help trim our tree on Saturday and the first thing DD asked was, "can I wear my Christmas dress?"

Probably the $54 Cook's Corner Kitchen from Yoyo, but I already have waaaay too many Christmas presents so I think it will sit in the basement until her birthday in March!
