TODAY ONLY! $30 for $100 Worth of Personalized Photo Books, Cards and Calendars From Picaboo

Bookmark and Share 

————————————————————-
On a personal note:  I bought a similar Picaboo offer the last time it was on Groupon  and was so happy with the quality and savings (it’s even cheaper today ~ probably because this deal comes direct from Picaboo). Since I don’t have the time to dedicate to traditional scrapbook projects, I have found  that Picaboo photo books are an easy way for me to capture photos and family memories.  I really like the “coffee table” quality of their books and their easy-to-personalize designs for archiving my photos ~ the end result looked like a professional put this together (but it had nothing to do with my lame skills).  All that to say, at $30 for $100 worth of Picaboo products…

This is a REALLY GREAT deal you might want to consider!
————————————————————-

Save 70% OFF With Today’s Picaboo Photo Deal!

 Just in time to preserve your summer vacation and end-of-school photos and memories, Picaboo has launched a great offer of 70% OFF the regular price of any photo books, cards, and calendars from their site!  For $30 you get $100 worth of products.  Offer must be purchased today, but can be used through December 30, 2012.

Not familiar with Picaboo? Check out their collection of customizable photo products at their website here.

How to find and get the offer:

  1. Go here to sign up for a Picaboo account if you don’t already have one.
  2. Buy the $30 for $100 deal from Picaboo before the end of the day ~ Thursday, June 14, 2012.  You do have until December 30, 2012 to create your personalized items with this deal, so this could be a great way to get a head start on some creative Christmas gifts, too!

Savings Tip:  If you miss this deal today, be sure to check out Picaboo’s “Specials” section of their website.  They almost always have a coupon code for some sort of savings on their products.  I’ve yet to see anything as good as this deal, though (so I hope you don’t miss out).

Dads & Grads Sale: Up to 60% OFF GPS Units at Amazon

Bookmark and Share

Looking for the perfect Father’s Day or Graduation Gift?  For a limited time, pop over to this link to save up to 60% on Amazon’s GPS special saleThere are lots of great choices, but from our experience, we recommend you look for a GPS unit that includes lifetime map and traffic updates.  It generally doesn’t cost a lot more to add this feature (i.e. add $10 to the base cost for this model).  With all the construction changes happening around DFW, it is worth it to pay a little extra to stay up-to-date. 

Here is a sample of some of the great GPS deals we found that also include FREE Shipping (be sure to select Amazon as the merchant to get free shipping):

 

FREE Shipping Tip:  If you need your GPS unit faster than what the standard free shipping provides, you might want to consider a FREE 1-month trial of Amazon Prime which will get you FREE 2-day shipping on almost anything with no minimum order. There are other nifty benefits like unlimited instant streaming of thousands of movies and TV shows with Prime instant videos and FREE check-out of Kindle Books. Find out more here.

On a personal note: This GPS enabled heart rate monitor & watch combo was on my husband’s wish list.  When we saw this deal pop up on Groupon, we jumped at this price (he has been watching the price on this model at Luke’s Locker,  Amazon,  Costco, etc. and could not find a better deal on this model anywhere). If you are a runner, biker, or walker (or some other wild & crazy :) outdoor exercise/training enthusiast) you may want to check out this great deal.

This all-in-one sports watch is GPS-enabled and accurately records your time, pace, distance, heart rate, calories burned, elevation and more. My husband, who likes to explore new terrain, especially finds the basic GPS navigation feature helpful, as it guides you back to your starting point.  Read reviews from actual users of this watch here.

Do note that you have to buy this offer by end of day tomorrow ~ Wednesday, May 16, and it ships directly to you. 

Here are the easy steps for getting this great deal:

  1. Go here to sign up for today’s Garmin Groupon deal.

HOT Groupon DEAL! 65% OFF Picaboo Photobooks

Bookmark and Share 

————————————————————-
My personal experience with Picaboo:  I bought this Picaboo offer last year when it was on Groupon to capture our Spring vacation memories (so glad to see it roll back around right before we take this year’s vacation!).  It is a GREAT deal for those of us who aren’t traditional scrapbookers.  I love Picaboo’s coffee table quality products, easy layout designs, and the simplicity of using picture books to organize my photos. 

I especially LOVE today’s Groupon price!
————————————————————-

Easily Create A Beautiful Picture Book And Archive Your Pictures

Just in time to preserve your Spring and end-of-school photos and memories, Picaboo and Groupon have launched a great “side-bar” savings offer of 65% OFF the regular price of any photo books, calendars and collage posters from Picaboo!  There are two 65% OFF saving options:  For $25 you get $75 worth of  photo books, calendars, and collage posters, or you can choose $35 for $100 worth of products.  Offer must be purchased by Monday, but can be used through October 30, 2012.

Pass this along to your friends in other cities, too! This can be purchased and used from anywhere in the U.S (find at the Fort Worth Groupon site).

Find the menu tab at the very top of the page labeled “All Deals” (in the navigation bar right above the words “Fort Worth”).  Click on the “All Deals” tab which will take you to a new page with lots of other Groupon deals.   When I last looked, I found the link to the Picaboo offer on the left of the 3rd row. Just be sure to…
  4. Buy your Groupon before the end of the day, Monday.
    You do have until October 30, 2012 to use your Groupon. Since
