Putting off your Valentine’s Day purchase until the last minute? Well, it’s down to the wire so don’t wait any longer! The folks at Organic Bouquet told us about a limited time offer where you can get 2 dozen organic roses for $49.95. That’s the normal price for 1 dozen, but until February 14th, you can get the 2nd dozen for free. What a steal!

Shipped fresh direct from the grower via FedEx Next Day, these beautiful roses are guaranteed to last at least 7 days from the time of delivery. Your sweetie will also appreciate that they were grown using “Veriflora” so they were “produced in an environmentally and socially responsible manner”.

Right now Brookstone is offering free shipping on their selection of message chairs. This deal is stackable with other offers like these coupon codes below. These message chairs are definitely on on the luxury side of message chairs. They have special arm wrapping tension relievers, can almost fully surround your legs, and they know just where you ache with their auto detection of especially tense spots on your body. I’m not sure exactly how they do it, but let’s just hope these things are on our side when the great man vs. machine war breaks out.

Our Shopping Blog is a little different than the norm: we generally promote unique, green, and indie products rather than the big box retailers or “what’s hot”. The concept of celebrity just makes me giggle, but I sort of did a double take when I stumbled upon Emitations. Their niche is replica jewelry (faux pearls, cubic zirconia, fake gems and the like), but they have a focus on imitation celebrity jewelry. They say you can “steal their style for less” and buy “celebrity bling without the sting“. (OK, I can’t even type that without giggling again.)

Anyway, I sort of like the concept not because it allows us to mimic famous people, but because it brings really glamorous jewelry at a price that is actually affordable. Celebrities are often loaned stunning pieces of jewelry to wear at events that cost insane amounts of money. Even the celebrity wearing the jewelry doesn’t purchase them! But once someone creates a knockoff version, it allows us to wear red carpet style accessories anywhere we want. Myself, I like to go subtle or totally over the top for everyday style. If I’m not wearing an understated necklace, then it’s a 3 carat CZ ring for me. (Questionable yes, but that’s my style!) Costume jewelry can be quite gaudy sometimes, and there are some really fug pieces at Emitations, but a single classy piece of replica jewelry can do wonders for any outfit.

Emitations COUPONS:
$10 off all orders of $100+ with code AFAS10
$6 off all orders of $60+ with code AFAS6
8% off all orders of $40+ with code AFAS8
Free Shipping for all order $75+, no coupon necessary

Coupons expire September 30th, 2007

Halloween is less than 60 days away and you know you always wait until the last minute to buy your costume. Why stress yourself this year? Do yourself a favor and start browsing the new costumes for the year over at Mable’s Halloween Costumes section. We recently re-designed it and made it easier to find the costume you’re looking for or get ideas for what you want. Check out the hundreds of new costumes; for men, women, kids, and even pets.

Halloween had always held a special place in our hearts, even when it’s the middle of Spring, which is why we created 365 Halloween just over a year ago. To get you into the spooky spirit we invite you to take a look at our Halloween recipes, creative costume ideas, and haunted homemade decor. We encourage those DIY spirited folks to submit their Halloween flavored crafts and creations to 365 Halloween so others who believe Halloween should be more than one day can get their fill throughout the year.

Good things come to those who plan ahead, which is why we’d like to spread the word about how to get 10% off and free shipping from BuyCostumes. Get 10% any order of $20 or more by using the coupon code bat91. Get your order total to $40 or more and they will even throw in free shipping*. Of course this wont last forever so be sure to order by the end of day on Sunday Sept. 9th, 2007.
