Easiest Sure to Please Gift for Tween Fashionistas

Posted in Easy Gifting, Gift Cards, Shopping Tips, Teens and Tweens at 2:11 am by Deb Savvy

If you’ve got a middle school fashion diva or your gift lift this year, don’t bother trying to find the perfect thing.  She already knows exactly what she wants.  And she knows that it’s going to be on sale in a few very short weeks.  Let her make the most of your gifting budget and save yourself some time.  Go for a gift card.  Yes, I know, I’m usually writing about what you should give INSTEAD of a gift card.  But this is one of those exceptions. 

 

Duncan, Ketchy and Peanut are always thrilled by gift cards – especially when the gift cards are from their favorite shopping spots.  I generally choose gift cards that can be redeemed online or at bricks and mortar stores, so the girls can take maximum advantage of all shopping opportunities.  They are always thrilled with a card from  Gap , Limited Too or Old Navy .

UPDATED 8/8/2008 WITH NEW COUPON CODE INFORMATION! 

Lynne turned me on to the concept of downloadable sheet music. She and her band are devoted users of Musicnotes.com. Digital sheet music is a great idea. Quick. Easy. Inexpensive. And the selection far exceeds any brocks and mortar alternative.

I’m usually not a huge fan of gift cards, except when it’s specific enough to be perfect for the recipient. A gift card for downloadable sheet music is exactly that. Practical and perfect for the student, ameteur and professional musician. 

They even offer Free Sheet Music Downloads and, of course, we’ve got the inside scoop on holiday coupon codes.

UPDATE AS OF 8/8/2008:  We are now indcluding coverage of Musicnotes.com in the the savvyshoppingblog.com deals blog.  That means that we’ll always have the inside scoop on their latest coupon codes and special offers.  Which means that you’ll have the inside scoop too!  Musicnotes is currently offering $2 off digital download purchases of $10 or more.  Click here for details and the current coupon code.

In Praise of Fragrance Gift Sets

Posted in Bath and Body, Cologne, Discounts, Easy Gifting, Gift Baskets, Gifts for Girls, Great Ideas, Last Minute Shopping, Mother's Day, Perfume, Shopping Tips, Valentines for Her at 9:05 am by Deb Savvy

Perfumania.com - Private Sale! 

Whether shopping for yourself or for a gift for someone else, fragrance gift sets are an a terrific option, especially when it comes to getting more for less.  Even when purchased at full retail price, fragrance gift packages represent an excellent value.   A gift set generally includes at least one full sized item (body lotion, soap, bath gel) along with a full sized Cologne or Eau de Parfum – and generally sells for the same price as the fragrance by itself.  You’re usually saving about 25% to 40% off the retail value of the products.  A really terrific gift set might also include a couple other small items like a purse spray or some travel size bath and body products.  In general, you’re getting something for free – even if you’ve paid full retail price.   

StrawberryNET Women's Fragrance  

And, of course, savvy online shoppers can do even better – there are quite a few online fragrance outlets offering 100% authentic designer perfume and cologne and fragrance gift sets at discounts of up to 70% – sometimes even more.  Always comparison shop your fragrance of choice at several different places - and always expect to find a wide variation in prices between sites.   It’s well worth a few extra clicks - prices can vary by more than $25 for a single, identical item.   If you’re shopping for more than one fragrance, don’t be at all surprised if a site that was the most expensive for one product offered the best price by far for the other.   

Early_Shopng_468x60
15% Off Instant Coupon on Your Desired Fragrance 

Fragrance gift sets make a great gift for any occasion – holidays, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day.  Pick one of her all time favorite fragrances and go to town.  And if the pre-packaged gift sets don’t seem quite bountiful enough – add a few more products and create your own gift box. 

Free Next Day Shipping on all Orders!  

A do it yourself fragrance gift set is an easy gifting option and an excellent choice for last minute shoppers. Overnight delivery is generally available. A quick trip to your corner Walgreens or CVS for a decorative gift bag, coordinating tissue and the perfect card and you’ve created a thoughtful and luxurious gift with no stress at all.

Another Great Last Minute Gift

Posted in Easy Gifting, Last Minute Shopping, Valentines for Her at 4:52 am by Deb Savvy

You can literally wait until the last possible moment and still give a gift that thrills. What woman doesn’t love a spa day? The gift of spa is the perfect luxurious and romantic gift. gift certificates are available in just about any amount you choose – gift her with a single service or pull out all the stops with a half or full day spa package. Certificates are redeemable at literally thousands of spas nationwide – for whatever services she chooses. With electronic gift certificates and instant printable gift cards, it’s never too late to come up with the perfect gift. She’ll be so thrilled with the gift, it won’t even occur to her that you haven’t planned ahead. (By the way – this can be a great last minute gift for a guy as well… I didn’t mean to sound like a cliche.)

The Universal Gift of Spa

HELPFUL HINT: If you find yourself in a last minute gift bind, put a little extra effort into the presentation. Forgo the direct e-gift card for an instant printable gift card. Stop at the supermarket or drugstore and pick up a small box, a romantic card and some beautiful wrapping paper and ribbon. Your last minute gift will make a lasting impression.
