@museic Thats a gorgeous one, great find! I also found a dutailer glider and ottoman on craigslist for $50 a couple weeks ago although its a more simple model.
It's currently in DDs room so I can be comfortable while I hang out in there and its been amazing. DD even laid on me so calmly for a little while as I glided on it tonight.
@starphish18 not sure if you took the plunge already but all Graco is 20% off at Target this week. If you get your 5% REDcard discount and use a 15% registry completion that might make cheaper than what you saw before. Just a heads up!
"Through March 21st, Jet.com is offering up an extra 20% off two Pampers or Luvs diaper purchase (up to a $50 discount) when you use the code LUVSPAMPERS20 at checkout. Choose to decline free returns and pay by debit card and you’ll save even more! Keep in mind that shipping is free on orders over $35 before discounts.
Even sweeter, new Jet.com customers can also use the code TRIPLE15 at checkout to save an extra 15% off your first 3 orders of $35 or more!"
Zulily has a "pack your hospital bag" section up today that has a lot of robes, nightgowns etc that are ideal for the post partum hospital days and the first weeks at home.
I can not recommend the gaucho style pants enough. The swelling from all the fluids they give you can be crazy and they are way more comfortable than leggings and more fitted clothes until things get back to normal.
@WombThereItIs I don't have prior experience, but I agree about gaucho pants! I have one pair, and I actually just bought another pair off Zulily last night in preparation. They were only $12!
Moby Evolution wrap (the breathable version) in "cloud" color is on clearance for $17.48 at Target. I think there's only 1 or 2 left. Super good deal for anyone who wants something cooler for the summer.
I know - for most of us - it's not time for this yet and that the deals change all the time, BUT what are y'all favorite sites for pictures/cards like for birth announcements? I think Shutterfly puts a coupon in every conceivable gift bag, but are there better deals to be had?
@emilyalso I use Tiny Prints and they ALWAYS have deals going. I know I got like 15-20% off for being registered at Amazon and I feel like I frequently get emails that they have even bigger deals going on. I think I got my holiday cards for like 40% off. It may be worth joining their email list or liking them on Facebook to see.
I used Etsy. There was a layout I loved and the seller customized it for me and then I printed like pictures and bought envelopes from Staples. I plan on doing this same this time.
And obviously this is way far in the future but Tiny Prints and Wedding paper divas and all the sites it's associated with always has like 25-30 percent off at Black Friday so that might help with Christmas/Holiday cards
@emilyalso I always search for various codes online for shutterfly and can always leave with an awesome discount. I also love that I can keep on stacking codes. I did have to split one order in half for the best deal once, but it was no biggie. Obviously I'm biased and love shutterfly.
@emilyalso I usually use Tinyprints, but I did order our Christmas cards at Costco and they were really cheap. I may look there again to see if they have anything cute.
I made a couple photo books on snapfish and shutterfly and they look identical. The snapfish ones were half the price too, even with coupons on shutterfly. I don't know if they have cards and such but I bet they do.
@emilyalso It's actually on my to do list to go ahead and pick out a design now, order and address envelopes, so its slightly less to do once baby is born. I think I'm going to use Minted. Its easier said than done to pick now though because I don't know what baby's photo will look like. Still planning on it though.
@nda_roxybabe I am the crazy hyper-planner who made a boy version and girl version birth announcement AND used DS's newborn photos to get an idea of what each announcement would look like with baby photos instead of empty spaces.
@RainyDays86 Haha, I am actually going to use a sample of our sort of "must have" newborn photo shot to play with and pick a design! I think I'll do gender neutral, unless there's a specific one I just love.
@starphish18: thanks for the heads up on those bottles... I looked at the link page and there's a "warning, small parts, choking hazard" warning in red, plus the seemingly applicable "not for children under 3 years old," because of course it's not for babies, since it's a bottle??
@bacorrea - This is definitely a 'cake and eat it too' complaint, but I wish the Up and Up diapers were eligible for the $10. cards! That would make it PERFECT!
@starphish18 A lot of people mentioned the Wubanuba when I brought up pacifiers in the gear thread and seemed to like them! $5 gift card is the perfect excuse for me to buy one!
