Sisterly Savings

If you didn’t get out on Black Friday, don’t worry! You have have plenty to be happy about with Amazon.com’s Monday Cyber Deals ! There are a LOT of huge savings that you can score all day today, all in the comfort of your home and without all the crowds!

Be sure to check on all the lightening deals too! They have some incredible ones coming up. Some deals are in limited supply and all of them will go quickly, but don’t worry if you miss one because they’ll keep adding new ones all day.

If your a person that loves jotting down everything down, then this free sample offer is for you!

If your looking for an inexpensive gift idea, why not give a Restaurant.com Gift Certificate this Holiday Season? These gift certificates make affordable for gift giving and are they last up to one year!

And if you act now, you’ll be able to save 80% off when you use promo code SAVE at checkout! You’ll only  pay $2 for a $25 GC, now isn’t that a bargain worth giving!?

I myself love these because they provide my family an affordable option when eating out and most act as savings coupons meaning you can get a dinner at half off, now that’s a treat worth saving for!

And don’t forget, these GC’s are valid for one year, so if you happen to print your GC and then lose it, you can always go back and reprint it (yes, its happened to me a few times!). Another idea is to buy the GC’s when they go on sale and you’ll always be prepared for any gift giving that arises throughout the year. And who doesn’t love the thought of not having to cook dinner for an evening!

Better hurry, as this offer ends today!

Before you head out on Black Friday at 4 a.m. to stand in those ridiculously long lines, I have some advice. Many times you will find the same deals shopping online on Black Friday or shortly thereafter. Plus, you won’t freeze or get trampled! The truth of the matter is that many online stores have much lower overhead than the Brick & Mortar stores and can pass that savings along to you. So if you are looking at a Black Friday ad and the cheap TV or other electronics device keeps calling your name, do a quick search online and you may be very surprised with what you find. Many times I have found the same price, or even lower, especially if you can combine it with an online coupon.

Also, last year I noticed that many people that shopped the “door-busters” would try and turn a quick profit and put the merchandise up on eBay right away. I found this to be a great way to get an awesome deal. Maybe not as great as if you stood in line for 2 hours and then fought the crowd, but still really good. Definitely worth a try.

Here are some related online coupons that you may be able to use to save money. If your favorite store is not listed, please contact me and I will do my best to personally find you a coupon.

Thanks Jennifer for once again letting me contribute to your terrific blog!

I had the wonderful opportunity to review some popular toy items from of the most recognizable and trusted names in toys and games -Hasbro! For generations, families have enjoyed Hasbro toys, and I don’t know of a single child that hasn’t experienced the magic that Hasbro brings on Christmas morning!

Below are a just few of some of their popular toys that any child will love and spark your child’s imagination as well!

Baby Alive Whoopsie Doll by Hasbro:

This cute little doll is adorable and my daughter had really enjoyed taking care of a “little sister”. This is a very interactive doll that drinks juice from her bottle and then let’s you know when her diaper needs changing by crying and wiggling her arms- almost like a real baby! Talk about adorable! My 4 year old son really thought it was a real baby at first, and kept cooing at her which we all thought was pretty funny!

When I asked my daughter what she thought of the doll, she gave it 5 stars out of 5, and that’s from a 12 year old! You never really are too old play with dolls!

Doll comes with bottle, 2 packets of doll juice mix, 2 doll diapers, rattle and t-shirt.Includes 4 “AA” POWRFUEL batteries. For ages 3 and up. Retails for $29.99.

Play-Doh Burger Builder by Hasbro:

What child doesn’t like Play-Doh? Some of my fondest childhood memories include Play-Doh. My favorite were those little guys that you grew their Play-doh “hair” and got to cut it!

This toy my 4 year old could NOT wait to get his hands on! My son is a huge fan of Play-Doh and we always keep a few cans around and for the last 2 years we made sure to get something from Play-Doh to add to his presents for Christmas.

With the Play-Doh Burger Builder, which he named it “Sonic” (since that seems to be favorite place to eat burgers), your child will have plenty of fun creating mini sized , colorful burgers! It even includes molds for lettuce and my son’s particular favorite- french fries! After about 2 hours, I think we were all kinda tired of my son trying to make us order and eat his burgers & fries, lol!

Each set comes with (5) 2 oz cans of PLAY-DOH compound, molds, press, plate, plastic knife, rolling pin, and TWIST-A-CHIP tool. Ages 3 and up. Retails for $14.99.

Play- Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe by Hasbro:

Ah, this was by far my favorite (and oh,um yes, my kids favorite too… lol) to review! The Play- Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe was so much fun and such a delight to play with!

All 3 of my children got in on the fun as we swirled “Ice Cream” from the special soft serve style dispenser. It is such a cute set! They even included a “toppings” station to decorate your creation with sprinkles or whipped cream. The set also comes with dessert themed molds to make strawberries, cookie crumbs or a cherry!

Playset includes 4 three-ounce cans of PLAY-DOH compound and over 40 molds and accessories! Ages 4 & up. Retails for $14.99

Any of these toys will make fun and affordable gifts that are sure to inspire a memory of fun and imaginative times!!

At Marriott, we’re always looking for ways to serve our guests better. That’s why the new Marriott.com was developed through a two-way dialogue between Marriott and thousands of our customers. The results? Search front and center. Improved navigation. A more modern and elegant look and feel. And, of course, enhanced functionality overall.

It just goes to show that only good things can happen when a huge organization like ours takes the time to listen to our individual guests to find out how to better serve them. They helped us create something better. It’s also the reason why we’re calling our new campaign, “You asked. We delivered.”
