SWS Deals of the Week - Sept 23rd - 29th

by on 09-23-2008 03:01 AM

Can you believe we're already in the last full week of September?  This was a big month for me as my daughter finally went back to school (hallelujah!) and the readership of this blog is beginning to gain some footing.  For that, I thank you!

A shocking revelation that hit me today though, was that the holidays are literally, right around the corner.  Where did the year go?  Lucky for all of us, there's lots of great sales and special deals going on right now, especially when you shop through Upromise online shopping.

Last year, I did just that.  I sat down at the computer, and in one day, got nearly everything I needed for every person in the family.  Not only that, by shopping online, I was able to take advantage of gift wrapping and direct ship - so I never even had to go to the post office! Woot! Woot!

So, without further delay, here are some sales to get you started on the path to easy online holiday shopping.

First and foremost, I'd love to bring your attention to the fact that Williams-Sonoma has now joined Upromise! I absolutely love this store, and although it's not necessarily "style" related, I could argue all day that my kitchen is stylish too! For me, a trip to Williams-Sonoma is like wandering in to an amusement park for little kids.  I could play with stuff all day long.  And now, if you know you love something, but you don't have time to go to the mall,  just log on!

Beauty Deals at L' Occitane where you can pamper your skin and save for college.  Get an exclusive gift by shopping through this link to spend $90 or more and using coupon code BRIGHTEN.  Manufactured with natural and organic ingredients, you're skin will never be the same!  Plus, they have great Shea Butter gift sets starting at just $18!  Just need a fresh coat of lipstick?  Head over to Avon and grab Glazewear lip color for the unbeatable price of $1.99; seriously, I'm so not kidding.  That has "teenage stocking stuffer" written all over it.

Fossil has some great gear and the lure of free standard shipping on orders of $!00 or more; you'll also snag 12% in college savings. Check out their new line for men and women, "Naturally Modern," a collection of pieces inspired by the colors and textures of nature.

And finally, don't forget about your feet!  With fall officially here, open-toed sandals and flip-flops are about to become a thing of the past.  Remember, boots are all the rage again this year! Plus, get free standard shipping on any order, and enter for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate.

That's it for this week's extra-special deals. Grab 'em while you can because they won't last forever!
