Big Deal: notNeutral BB2 Twin Bed With Free Night Stand Ends Today

Chris Ford — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:30:00 GMT

I'm a big fan of the children's furniture by notNeutral. The stuff they make looks great and as I can personally attest, it's really quite functional. The BB2 bed is one of my favorites, not the least of which because it's a children's bed that fits a twin sized mattress. So here's a great deal you should know about - right now at Design Public, if you get the bb2 Twin Bed at it's regular price they'll throw in the matching night stand for free.

The deal ends today, so jump on it now.

notNeutral BB2 Twin Bed, $960. Night Stand FREE (regularly $140) with Free Shipping at DesignPublic.com (put the bed in your shopping cart, and the nightstand will show up there for free).

Amazon Deal Alert: Epson Perfection V300 Scanner On Sale

Chris Ford — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Saving digital memories is a job for parents that (either thankfully or not) our parents never had to deal with. But what's the best way to save those non-digital memories, digitally? The Epson Perfection V300 Scanner is the same scanner I've used to convert many photos and negatives of my family's memories with great success - and it's on sale now at Amazon.com.

The Epson Perfection V300 Scanner is a basic flat-bed scanner that will scan any flat piece of paper (photo, kids' artwork, written document) as well as photo negatives and slides. It also comes with Epson's software that will take your scanned image, correct the color and remove dust and other imperfections. The software suite you get also comes with something called "optical character recognition" software, making any documents you scan readable and (more importantly perhaps) searchable by your computer.

In my experience it worked very well under all conditions. I was able to scan many, many negatives as well as photos without hardly any hiccup.

But the most important thing about this blog post is that it's available now from Amazon.com for only $93.24, which is 33% off the regular price. So if you've been putting off this chore, now might be the right time to start archiving. (Oh, and once you do, don't forget to back up your hard work - but that's another blog post.)

Epson Perfection V300 Photo Color Scanner, $93.24 from Amazon.com.

Big Deal: Fauna Clothing And Pillows On Sale

Chris Ford — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:04:00 GMT

Fauna is the NYC-based company that makes pillows and clothing with animal prints that use photos of actual animals. They're kind of one of those things you either love or hate, and for those that fall into the former category, I just discovered a bunch of their products on sale over at Design Public.

You can get some of the Fauna pillows for as low as $31, but my favorite are the Baby Onesies and Kids T-Shirts. The Cat T-Shirt is $10 off the regular price as well as the Cat Onesie. But there are also bunnies, squirrels and even pigeons to choose from too. All are perfect for your little hipster this spring.

Check out products from Fauna, on sale now at DesignPublic.com

Amazon Deal Alert: Elmo Live 32% Off

Chris Ford — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 23:00:00 GMT

Elmo Live (or as my two-year-old calls him, "Hard Elmo" because he's not squishy), is a big hit in my house. He talks, sings, dances and is one of those toys that as a child I imagined toys would be like in the future. Well, if you didn't find Elmo Live under the tree a couple of months ago, now is definitely the time to pick one up. Elmo Live is available at Amazon.com for $44.99 - that's $21.00 off the regular price.

Tons Of Kids T-Shirts On Sale At Threadless Starting At $5

Chris Ford — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:00:00 GMT

Over at cool t-shirt purveyor Threadless, they're having a massive sale. And some of the cool shirts available are as low as five dollars. Which, when you look at the prices of some of the shirts sold at some of these online boutiques, five dollars is an awesome sale.

Amazon Deal Alert: Macy's Clearance Means Great Deals On Kids Clothes

Chris Ford — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Apparently Macy's sells clothes through Amazon.com, because right now they've got a ton of great clothes on clearance. Granted, most lean towards spring/summer appropriate stuff, but if you look hard there's a ton of great deals to be had, with prices starting at $1.49. Seriously.

The brands are all the typical kid stuff you'd find at Macy's, like Roxy, Disney, Guess and Puma but there are loads of others (67 by my count). For instance, you can pick up a Hannah Montana t-shirt for $3.30, Roxy Jeans for $5.92 or even this Small Paul "footed sleeper" (we call them feetey pajamas in my family, pictured) for $36.

But hunt around yourself. You're bound to find something cool.

Big Deal: Disney Princess and Cars Rug On Sale At FLOR

Big Deal: Six Months of Free Diapers from Amazon.com

Chris Ford — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 21:31:00 GMT

I realize that "Six Months of Free Diapers" sounds like one of those "One Year of Free Gas!" come-ons from a car dealership, but this one is legit. Right now, if you put up a baby shower registry list on Amazon, and you, your friends or family spend at least $750, you'll get six months worth of Seventh Generation Diapers.

The offer is good now through September 30th, 2008. The "six months" actually translates into $250 worth of diapers, that you have to purchase prior to June 1, 2009. You've got to register somewhere right? Might as well get something else out of it.
