christmas, free shipping, Holiday, the Shopper | December 8, 2014

Free Shipping: Who’s got it and for how long?

What’s the difference between shopping in the store and shopping online?  Shipping costs and traffic.  Well, you can avoid both with this list I’ve compiled of twelve sites offering free shipping, tell it to your neighbor!  I’ve also included the deadline for free shipping, some of the smart sites have it all the time.

#1.  Nordstrom – Free Shipping.  Free Returns.  All the time.  (Why can’t all retailers follow this model!) Check out the cool stuff in their Pop-In gift shop.

#2.  Amazon – Free Shipping on orders over $35 until 12-30-14.  (Remember when Amazon was all books, ha!  The two books above, Erin Gates and Sarah Richardson, are on my wish list!)

#3.  Target – Get free standard shipping just for the holidays.  (I’m not sure when their holidays end, it’s not listed on the website.)

#4.  St. Bernard Sports – Free 3 day shipping and returns on all orders.  My husband loves to shop off this site, great sales!  (We’re getting these Yeti Ramblers for the adults in our family, they are TITYN amazing!  Keeps your drink warm for hours!)

#6.  YoYo – Free 2-day delivery or faster on $49+.  No end date.  I had to include YoYo even though they have a minimum because you can’t beat 2-day delivery and they have saved my last-minute booty so many times!

#7.  Zappos – Free 2 business day shipping.  Free Returns.  All the time.  Zappos is so reliable and almost magical with the turnaround!  Think UGG slippers and ear muffs for gifts!

#8. Kendra Scott – Free Ground Shipping on all orders.  No minimums + free returns.  Ends 12/18. This is fantastic!  Check out her under $55 gift guide and color bar.



#9. Urban Outfitters – Free Shipping, No Minimum, Ends Today 12/8!

#10.  GlassyBaby – forever free shipping on every glassybaby everyday.  And every glassy baby gives to organizations that support people in all kinds of need.  Check out their beautiful sets.

#11. The Scholastic Store – Free standard shipping on book orders over $35.  This applies to only books and not books on sale.  Looks like you’ll want to order by 12/12 for Christmas delivery.

#12.  L.L. Bean – Free Shipping. No minimum order.  No end date.  L.L. Bean has GoPros, if you know someone who has one, just get them an accessory and they’ll be happy!  And you can’t beat L.L. Bean’s customer service, last year they sent me a $25 gift card because my delivery was late.

I hope this list helps make your Holiday shopping easy, thoughtful and fast!  And happy without traffic! 🙂

The best gift tomorrow will be a boy turning 12! ♥️🥳

These streamers took me years to find. Years searching on the internet even though they were right under my nose! My Mom used to use them at every birthday, she’d throw them all over the chandeliers. They were messy fantastic! I finally figured out they are called Serpentine Throws or Streamers. And when you call them by the right name you can find them everywhere!

Have y’all seen the @expedia Super Bowl commercial with Ewan McGregor? The ad of course is trying to get me to go to their site and travel but I like that it FIRST is trying to convince me to not spend on STUFF! It feels like they are putting my purpose before my money and I’m just going to believe that because I love it! 🙌 

The photos above are all mine and have all been taken since the last Earth Day. They are all #nofilter and if you swipe left you can see their location. Also my file for this post has 76 photos 😆 so it was hard to narrow down to the annual nine! Keep swiping for bonus Planet Earth!

Easter snapshots 👆 and my notes from @thejohnst Easter snapshots 👆 and my notes from @thejohnstephens’ message we streamed from @levyparkhouston (because we didn’t want to leave our lovely family breakfast to get ready in time to be early enough to find a seat at @chapelwoodumc 👌):
•Created to value and focus on the intangibles.
•Set your heart on things above.
•Live in the light of the resurrection, that’s what Easter means.
•The WORST things are NEVER the LAST things. ♥️

I started listening to/reading the Bible back in February. It’s something I’ve wanted to do my whole adult life. I’m following a chronological Bible in a year plan, listening to cliff notes and trying to finish faster than the whole 365 days. It is a struggle and I can’t believe I’m actually doing it! 😫💪🏼 I’m on day 64 and I just looked up how far I have to go before I get to the event we celebrated this past weekend. I have to make it to Day 274 for the first mention of Jesus and Day 319 for the resurrection. My friends and family have heard me say quite often, “I can’t wait to get to Jesus.” And I’m also looking forward to the New Testament on @audible because I found a version read by @johnnycash! Now if I’m going to make it to Jesus and Johnny I’m going to have to change up what I’m doing for the Old Testament. Do y’all have any recommendations on audible? I’m looking for the impossible: a voice that’s captivating and storytelling but not dramatic and cheesy. And a version that’s easier to read in general. Any help in the comments below would be great for all to read! 👇 Thank you and Happy Easter! 🙏🏼

Houston, we have a @buffcitysoap! I’ve been driv Houston, we have a @buffcitysoap! I’ve been driving to @buffcitysoap.pearlandtexas because I’ve been hooked on their Narcissist scented laundry soap and dryer balls since my cousin’s daughter introduced us to it in Dallas last Thanksgiving. (Thank you, Lane! @tsno06) Now it’s just a drive to The Heights and I’m already scheming for a soap making party. 🧼 Go check it out! 👃🏼@buffcitysoap.northheights  #buffcitysoap #htown #houstonshops #titynshops
This was her Christmas gift from 2019! When we gav This was her Christmas gift from 2019! When we gave it to her she was 12 years old and she thought it would be hard to Wait For It until July 2020! 😆 How about March 2022?! Worth the wait to see Hamilton live a 2nd time. She was still in awe! 🙏🏼 And if a mask 😷 had not been required I might have put one on anyway because It’s Quiet Uptown and I didn’t have a tissue. 😭😭🤧🤧🥺🥺

If you’re interested in traveling to New Mexico, I started sharing our trip highlights in my stories and will continue to share when I have a chance. What I’ve shared so far is saved to my highlights on my page.☀️
