There’s something so magical about children’s books.  The illustrations, the poetic rhyming, the learning, the snuggling…  I’m always so overwhelmed with anticipation of how much fun we’ll have reading our new books, I can’t think of an occasion where I was able to limit myself to buying just one!  Amazon knows, and has a bevy of children’s books as part of their buy 3, get the 4th free promotion.  I highly recommend one of my favs, Peas and Thank You!  Find all of the books on sale here!

I adore my Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag.  I also adore sample sales and charitable giving.  Could they all possibly intersect??  You know it!  PPB just started their online sample sale and is donating 25% of the proceeds of sales on 1/19 and 1/20 to Haiti relief.  You’ll find plenty of bargains, including the Society Satchel (my fav!) as second for $199 (39% off the original $325) or new for $229.  These hardly ever go on sale, so get ‘em fast!

Merry Christmas everyone!  Mama’s taking a few days off to make a boatload of cookies and enjoy some quality family time.  Join me in taking a few days off and enjoying the fruits of all your bargain-hunting labors!  We’ll be back the day after Christmas with an excellent post-holiday bargain.  Happy Holidays friends!!

There’s hardly a little boy that doesn’t appreciate a good Thomas toy and hardly a little parent that doesn’t appreciate a good bargain on a Thomas toy.  The Spin & Fix set is originally $50, and now just $19.99, 60% off!

So I’m still impressed with the quality of the Plan Toys cutting fruits we ordered a few days ago.  You may ask, “why did you order it a few days ago and you’re already playing with it- just a few days before Christmas?”  Well friends, the answer sadly lies in my inability to deny BabyBargain the satisfaction of opening a cardboard box.  Am I setting him up for a lifetime of psychological issues resulting from this instant gratification?  Probably.  But we’ve had a heck of a time cutting wooden fruit.  Anyhow, I was looking to see what else Plan Toys made and stumbled upon this great bargain- the “Miracle Pounding” toy, originally $35, and now just $9.99.  Why play with a regular ol’ pounding toy when this miraculous one will deliver them right back to you?  Ahh, instant gratification strikes again…

In case you missed the Buy 2, get the 3rd Dr. Seuss book free promotion at Barnes & Noble, Amazon is repeating it!  There’s 181 books to choose from.  I had no idea Dr. Seuss was so prolific.  Big book, little book, what else begins with B?

Hurry, hurry, hurry!  The Amazon lightning deal for the highly reviewed VTech Sit to Stand Alphabet Train just started!  Regularly $54.99, it’s just $19.99 (64% off!) until they sell out!  I know these are two of BabyBargains favorite things: letters and trains! (When you click on the link, look for page 5 in the “Holiday Lightning Deals” section!

Lose the fancy electronic spelling toys (and associated fancy sounds) in lieu of classic wood.  Amazon has the Melissa & Doug See & Spell on sale for just $9.99, 50% off the original $20!

One Step Ahead is also having a great sale today, with lots of coupon codes to add!  The activity center above is regularly $160, on sale for $120, and add coupon code 25100 for another $25 off, making it just $95 for the table and chairs!  Check out the rest of the sale here, and use codes 1575 for $15 off a $75 order, 25100 for $25 off a $100 order, 50175 for $50 off a $175 order, and 75250 for $75 off a $250 order- awesome deal!

Happy Cyber Monday everyone!  I anticipate finding myself browsing online quite a bit today (it’s practically a national holiday!) and am planning on doing multiple posts today to encompass all of the amazing bargains I come across!  It’s sort of Twitter-style- if you don’t already follow me on Twitter, join the 920 friends that do and get in on my stream-of-consciousness bargain hunting there!  Anyhow, my first fav find of the day is this telescoping Pipsqueaks (LOVE that name) tower with 50 of the cutest little markers you’ve ever seen for just $14.12, 53% off at Amazon!  BabyBargain loves these markers!

Happy Black Friday everyone!  Hope you slept in and are cozied up on your couch with credit card in hand.  I thought I’d compile a list of the best Black Friday online sales I’ve found so you could browse at your leisure!  Enjoy!

Sometimes I check out the Amazon “Bestsellers in Baby” list to see what everyone else thinks is cool.  It never ceases to amaze me that Sophie the Giraffe teether is always on top.  I mean, it’s a teether.  Plus, I’ve never seen it on sale.  Except today!  It’s 25% off today, which is a good deal for something that’s always full price.  I’ve taken a little time to ponder its popularity too, and I’m going with unique design as my personal top reason.  Why chew on a watery circle when you could gnaw on a cuddly giraffe?  It’s also eligible for free shipping on orders over $25, so here’s another bargain to get you on your way: a cute little carseat toy, Lamaze Fly and Chime friends, 56% off, just $6.60!
