GREAT gifts for under $5!

05 December 2008

Maybe I should start calling this Melissa's Deal Blog, lol. I have to share good deals with friends though! I got in on this deal last year, and was so glad I did. Pottery Barn is clearancing out these
ornaments for $3.99 each, with free shipping and free personalization! (up to 8 characters!) Thanks to daves_wife over at FFD for the heads up on this deal! So, this is what I did last year:



I had the year put on instead of a name for the personalization and am planning to put our family picture in it each year. I did the next 5 years, up to 2011. They are great quality and have sweet little velvet ribbons to hang them from.
What perfect gifts these would make and I'm sure you would get them before Christmas. I would move very fast though, these will most likely sell out very quickly. The red squares are already gone. Here are the ones left for $3.99: red rectangle, silver rectangle, and silver circles. Here is the link. I love the silver circles!!


For another great gift for little money, Hearst Magazines are having their $5 subscription sale on the following titles:
House Beautiful, Good Housekeeping, Country Living, O the Oprah Magazine, the Food Network, and more! I'm not sure how long this deal will go on..I may just have to order one for my stocking!
I hope these deals are helping you~I only share the ones I am/or would do myself. Happy Shopping!
