Looking to trim your budget? Little boy hair grows at astronomical rates, and I’ve always been a fan of DIY!  The problem with clippers in general is noise- I mean, who wouldn’t freak out with something that sounds like a swarm of bees coming near their head?!  But the reviews are in on this clipper and the sound is totally manageable!  It’s Target’s daily deal today, so don’t dawdle- the Philips Norelco Kids Clipper is usually $40, but today it’s just $19.99 with free shipping!

It’s that time of year when retailers are making way for aisles and aisles of freshly sharpened pencils…easily forgetting that there’s still plenty of hot summer days ahead of us (ugh.)  Now is definitely the time to stock up on summer essentials, like this too-cute Aqua Leisure water buggy.  I love that the ultra-functional shade on top actually has an aesthetic purpose, and not just a “my mom is a sun-scared loon” feel.  It’s originally $17 and now just $7.98 at Amazon- 53% off and eligible for free shipping on a $25 order!

Alright, we bought this little gem for WAY more than it’s current astounding $5.98 price, and even then thought it was worth every penny!  It’s one of BabyBargain’s absolute favorites- he uses it to gas up all of his little cars!  I LOVE Duplo, and everything Lego for that matter, so for almost 80% off it’s original $25 price tag, this little Tanker Truck is a sure thing.  With sounds, plenty of moving parts, and Duplo’s interchangeability (even this set can become two different trucks!) it’s a great bet for a birthday gift or an amazing donation to your local shelter.  You’ll love it!

Hey Thomas fans!  I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t even know they made remote-controlled versions of the Trackmaster trains, but what a great idea!  I think this would even be fun for a non-Thomas fan around a Christmas tree- who doesn’t like trains around trees?  Anyhow, Thomas and his remote are usually $20, but on sale at Amazon today for just $12.73!  It’s eligible for free shipping on orders over $25, and is also a part of their one-day toy sale, so browse around a bit while you’re there. (Oh, if you do just want to put this around your tree, you’ll need the Trackmaster tracks, something like these here.)

P.S.- If you’re planning a trip to Target in the next few days, be sure to walk through their toy department (which shouldn’t be hard if you’re bringing a child along!)  It’s time for their twice-yearly toy clearance, and LOTS of toys at our store were already marked down to 50% off!  No R/C Thomas, but a few other Thomas trains and accessories.  And baby toys, dolls, play food, cars…WAY too many to list!

All the lollipop, none of the guilt! Amazon has an amazing bargain on YummyEarth’s organic lollipops- a 150-count (easy-store!) bin is just $10.48- 50% off the original $21!  If you sign up for subscribe & save delivery, the price drop to just $8.91 with free shipping! I hear they’re pretty tasty and may just have to pick some up for myself!

I love this!  It’s adorable, affordable, and has amazing reviews- and it’s a super choice for a soon-to-be studious preschooler.  Originally $110, the two-piece set (desk and chair) in pecan is just $51.44 (53% off!) at Amazon with free shipping!  Seriously, how cute would a room full of these with tiny toddlers sitting at them be??  Anne Geddes should get right on that.

PS- I just received my newest issue of Parents magazine yesterday and opened it up to find a 20% off Amazon diapers coupon- and guess what?  You can combine it with the crazy subscribe & save deal they have going on!  That makes a lot of diapers pretty near 50% off, and is definitely the best diaper deal I’ve seen in a long time!  Unfortunately the code is unique and one-time use, so you’ll have to check out your own issue to find it!

Nothing says summer like MACHINE-WASHABLE.  And a nice, big, hands-free backpack that can lug sippy cups, sunscreen, wet wipes, band-aids and diapers around effortlessly.  And throw in a little style while you’re at it.  There, now you’ve got Vera Bradley’s “Large Backpack” with compartments galore and 19 different patterns to choose from.  I like “Bali Gold” because I feel like I’m packing to go to Key West (and not Target).  The regular price of this summer staple is $92, but for three days only it’s just $40- almost 60% off!  Free shipping on orders over $75 too!

You know ‘em, you love ‘em, and they certainly don’t need an introduction.  Plenty argue that these are the “safest” seats around, and while the jury’s still out on that one (and will always be!) you can’t argue with their stellar reviews.  Amazon has started their closeouts on a number of different Britax car seats, with some really excellent prices!  Check out the classic Roundabout 40 in Onyx for $143.99 (that’s the pic above), the Boulevard 65 in Onyx for $239.99, the Marathon 65 in Labyrinth (tan) for $199, or all the Britax here.  It’s a sweet ride!

This is an easy one!  Until July 16th, Amazon is offering an additional $10 off when you purchase $30 of select Playskool toys,  and that’s on top of their already great sale prices!  So, you could buy one Busy Ball Popper (always a playgroup favorite!) for $15.75 for your tot, and another to donate to your favorite children’s hospital (or stash away for Toys for Tots!) for a grand total of just $21.50- and the regular price of ONE ball popper is $23! It’s like getting them for 54% off!  Talk about easy donating (or present-giving, baby showering…) Here’s the full list of all of the toys that qualify, and it’s great- including Chuck my talking Truck, dinosaurs, firehouses, sit and spins, cars, gears- some really great toys!  The $10 will come off automatically during checkout, just make sure your selections are all sold by Amazon and not third parties (the coupon won’t work with them!)  I’m also pretty sure you can make multiple orders with the same discount if you’ve got a lot of gift-giving coming up!

I just LOVE this set!  I love supporting companies with good causes, and Plan Toys is one of them.  Not only are they committed to producing environmentally-friendly products, they’re committed to safety too- using chemical free wood, non-toxic paints, and ergonomic shapes.  For me, the real mark of a “sustainable” toy is one that can survive through multiple siblings- and still be able to be donated to another family!  One of the Amazon reviewers talks about just how tough this one is!  Plus, it’s not your everyday train set- taking up a lot of space and not adding much aesthetically- it’s actually pretty and looks pretty fun.  It’s originally $200 at Amazon and on sale now for just $113, 43% off with free shipping! (And no tax, by the way, I love Amazon!) While you’re there, don’t forget to check out the diapers/wipes sale- I just received our super jumbo packs in the mail and am beyond excited that I don’t have to keep running to the store to pick up more of something I hate spending money on and is always expensive.  You know it!
