3 Tips for Using Discount Deals to Be the Hit of the Gift Swap

Posted by Janelle Harris

GrouponIf there are two things I absolutely hate giving for the holidays, they’re 1) gift cards and 2) money. Even if that’s what the person asked for, I still feel defeated sidling up to the ATM for a $20 bill or slapping some predetermined denomination onto a little plastic card. It’s so uninspired. 

I want to play with the possibilities of what the people on my list will like. I want to test how well I know their tastes. I want to see their faces light up when they open the bag or tear apart the gift wrap and see whatever fantastic piece of imaginative thoughtfulness I’ve come up with to make their season bright. 

Deal-of-the-day websites have made that holiday cheer-sharing easier. One might argue they’re not much better than a gift card or a wad of cash. But if you’re quick and a little creative, they’ll open up a whole new avenue in your gift-giving greatness.

The LimitedWell, hello late-day shoppers!

Frankly, the Presidents' Day sales have been nothing to shout about -- unless you count the one going on right now at The Limited.

Today only, everything on the site is 40% off, plus free shipping on orders over $75.

That makes this pleated full '50s skirt -- the look we've been craving that's strangely all but impossible to find in stores -- just $35.94.

LOVE.

The Limited has looked a little frumpy over the last few seasons, but things are looking up for the spring season.

Take a look at some of my top picks after the jump -- and if you like them, order quick, because this sale ends after today!

ShoeWoo Shutting Down -- Get a Few Last-Minute Deals Before It's Gone!

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier
on Jan 28, 2011 at 12:50 PM

ShoeWooWe all thought ShoeWoo sounded too good to be true, right?

Do you remember those FABULOUS deals so many of us scored off the site a few months ago? I think I got about $500 in shoes for around $100!

Well as it turns out, there was a reason for the unbelievable sales.

ShoeWoo.com is shutting down.

Sad face.

The good news? You can still score a few last-minute deals before it's gone. Right now, all shoes that are left are deeply discounted and if you buy 2 or more pairs, you get an additional 20% off! That would make these $139 Rachel Roy sandals just $44.48!

Fantastic Kate Spade Sale: Get Your Handbag On!

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier
on Jan 3, 2011 at 3:50 PM

Kate SpadeI drool over Kate Spade handbags. And Kate Spade shoes. And Kate Spade clothing. And Kate Spade accessories.

It's infuriating, really, because Kate Spade gear isn't outrageously expensive. It's just expensive enough that I have no hope of affording it, even when it's on sale.

Today, however, there's finally some good news for Kate Spade fans. Right now, KS is taking an additional 25% off of all its sale merchandise, with the code NEWYEARS25. Factor in free shipping and you might actually be able to afford a fabulous Kate Spade bag. WHOOPEE!

Take this MacDougal Alley Small Damien Bag, for example. Ordinarily, it's $325, but with your additional discounts, it's $170.25!

ShoeWoo: My New Obsession

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier
on Dec 28, 2010 at 9:50 AM

ShoeWooI suspect I'm about to part a lot of you with your money...

Late last night, I got an e-mail from a friend about a great sale at a website called ShoeWoo.

I'd heard of ShoeWoo before- plenty of fashionistas swear by it- but somehow, I had never gotten around to visiting it.

BIG MISTAKE.

Right now, everything at ShoeWoo is 50-70% off. PLUS, if you buy three pairs of shoes (not hard at this site, trust me), you get an ADDITIONAL 30% off. Plus, there's a $5 flat shipping rate, no matter how many pairs of shoes you buy.

That means, for example, that this stunning pair of Bandolino boots, originally $129, are just $36 if you buy three pairs of shoes. SQUEEEEEEEEEE. Read on to see more great ShoeWoo picks!

Finally! A Great J.Crew Sale!

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier
on Dec 14, 2010 at 5:50 PM

J.CrewI adore J.Crew, but only when I can get its clothing and accessories on sale -- and it has been a while since J.Crew's had a good one.

Right now, though, J.Crew is offering an additional 30% off all its sale items with the code MUSTHAVE, and free shipping on orders over $150.

This Chevron-pleat solid shirt (J.Crew, $19.99 on sale), for example, is regularly $89.50. With your discount, it's just $13.99! It's so cheap you can get one in all its colors: white, black, and periwinkle!

Keep reading for more great deals!
