50% off Zoobooks Subscription

This week's Living Social deal is a year's subscription to Zoobooks (or Zootles or Zoobies, depending on your child's age and development level).

For $15 (normally $30) you'll receive an animal-themed book sent to your home each month along with a poster and set of stickers. My children have been receiving Zoobooks the past year and LOVE it! Not only do they enjoy the animals they read about, but they feel so grown up receiving their own mail each month.

Your child will learn about animals from apes to zebras and every one in between while looking at beautiful photography and age-specific content. They will also build reading skills while you snuggle together on the couch reading these educational books. They offer "all the right building blocks to set young readers up for learning success," says Learning Magazine.

To purchase your subscription, visit livingsocial.com. But hurry, this offer is only good for six more days!

Core Bamboo

I've had my eye on Core Bamboo for some time now...their great colors, shapes and designs seem like they'd be perfect for entertaining or everyday use! Just look at those colors up there...they're like adult candy!

And then today I saw that their stuff was being offered at at least half off on Gilt Groupe! I'm one lucky duck!

The small snack bowls would be great for my children when they're eating pretzel, raisin or granola snacks and I would love to empty all of the granola bar boxes into a large bowl for them (and me) to easily locate their (and my) favorite kind...and have my pantry looking colorful and cute all the while!

To take advantage of the savings visit gilt.com (you can use this link to receive an invitation if you aren't already a member). And if your favorite item is sold out, you can shop at corebamboo.com.

Twistband

I have very long hair that I like to wear down...except when I don't. I like to pull it back when I'm cooking, when I'm hot, or simply when the mood strikes me. My girls also have long hair and they too like it pulled back when they're active. It's probably no surprise that I keep a lot of hair bands handy.

The hair bands I've fallen in love with in the past couple of months are from Twistband! Their hair ties are so cool, they're now a piece of funky jewelry as much as they are a necessity for me. I always have at least one around my wrist, on a bag strap, or in my or a daughter's hair...or all three!

My girls and I love the fun colors (I'm wearing a yellow one as I type this in honor of my beloved Green Bay Packers playing in the Super Bowl later today) and we've built up quite a collection. My favorite are the tie-dyed and Martha's pick is the pink set with the heart.

If you're not a fan of the ponytail or if your daughter has shorter hair, Twistband also makes some great headbands that offer the same cool factor as they can be twisted a few times around a wrist to keep on hand.

Twistband has now hit the big time with their products being offered at Anthropologie...but don't fret, you can still get a great deal. Enter coupon code LUCKY2 at checkout and you'll receive 40% off your order! Prices start at only $2.00 at thetwistband.com.

Worn Free

One of my favorite shops for tees is Worn Free. Their styles are true vintage and oh so hip! They reproduce rock shirts worn by legends like John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Joey Ramone, Debbie Harry and Joan Jett. Talk about timeless cool!

I was excited to see that Worn Free tees are 1/2 off at Zulily right now! If you're thinking of purchasing some for your little guy or girl, you can use coupon code ZUSNAP228 to save 10% off your order of $30 or more. And if you shop through Ebates you'll save another 3.5%! Talk about a deal!

No More Rack

I'm excited about this new daily deals site I discovered today: No More Rack. It's full of amazing discounts...up to 90% off of great brands. Today's deal, for example, was Rock & Republic jeans (normally $265) for only $68! Unfortunately, they were sold out by the time I found the site. But I can guarantee I'll be watching it closely in the future!

Besides the high-quality products, my other favorite thing about No More Rack is that shipping is not only fair, it's cheap...only $2.00 an item! I've got to say there have been many-a-time I've added things to my cart only to walk away from the purchase after discovering the $8.95 shipping for a $10 shirt...not such a deal after all.

Follow this link to sign up and receive a $10 credit towards your first purchase. Happy shopping!

Nine West Kybele Booties

I have been looking for a pair of shoes I could wear this winter that would be stylish, warm, comfortable, and stylish...yes, I said that twice. Finding warm and comfortable shoes is no problem, but stylish, now that's another story.

When I received Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP newsletter last week on comfortable shoes, I was thrilled. The pair that caught my eye were the Nine West Kybele short boots...in the versatile taupe color as shown here. (They're also available in brown with white shearling and all black.) And so my search began.

I first researched reviews on shopping sites and from bloggers and found out most people said they were super comfortable. Then, I tried to find them for a good price; they retail for $130 and I knew I could get a better price with some time...and I'd rather spend time than money if given the choice (on shoes, anyway).

And so, I offer you, my loyal Ugga Mugga readers, the fruits of my labor: Nine West Kybele stylish booties for only $67...and that includes shipping! Here's how to get this amazing deal:

1. Go to ninewest.com and add the boots to your cart (they're currently marked down and on additional sale for a short time only). They also ship free!
   
2. Enter coupon code NWPOSTC for another $20 off.
3. To save an additional 3.5%, log in first to Ebates and then go to Nine West's site from there...oh how I LOVE Ebates!
4. Wait patiently for the mail carrier to arrive with your package...I'm currently waiting for mine. If they arrive and I find they're terribly uncomfortable, I'll be sure to let you all know!
   
5. Walk around the mall and take in the compliments!

Happy shopping...at 50% off!

SnapTotes Photo Bags

I've been eying SnapTotes for a few years now. I first saw them when my oldest was just born, but didn't purchase one because I thought I should wait for our family to be complete so the bag could feature all of my children. When our youngest (and last) was born I thought of the bags again but thought I'd wait a bit so her face matured...so it actually looked like her on the tote as the years passed. And then I honestly forgot for a bit. That is until I ran into Darcy Miller at the New York International Gift Fair in August.

Darcy is a long-time idol of mine...she works for Martha Stewart as the editor-in-chief of Martha Stewart Weddings, is a talented illustrator, and creates the most amazing shadow boxes on the planet (she's even had her own art show in NYC...they're that good!). When I noticed her at the fair and asked her if I could have my photograph taken with her, my eyes shot right to her handbag...a lovely bag with her gorgeous daughters on it! And then I remembered how long I've wanted a bag with my children on it! And I thought to myself, "That's a gift idea I'm going to pass along to my husband this Christmas!" We took our photo, I told her how much I admired her, and she was on her way with her amazing bag. Thank you Darcy for the reminder!

Fast forward to this morning when I received an email from Eversave showcasing SnapTotes. For only $36 you'll receive $80 to spend at SnapTotes. There are over 20 bags to choose from in all different styles and designs. These would make great holiday gifts for grandmothers, Godmothers, and other family and friends...or if you're like me, a gift for yourself!

Visit eversave.com to purchase! But hurry, this deal is only available for three days! You can purchase up to 5 coupons...1 for yourself and 4 for gifts!

Kinderville (on sale!)

I've become a big fan of silicone over the last few years, so when I learned of Kinderville's products, I was excited to learn more!

All Kinderville products can not only go in the dishwasher, microwave, and freezer, but they're safe in there as well (because silicone is a naturally occurring element). The perk of being able to put something in the dishwasher (and have it clean up well) is a huge factor when I'm buying something. It cuts down on water waste and saves me time. And there's never too much time to go around...especially to use cleaning!

Kinderville's products are fun and bright making them attractive for kids and they're non-breakable and bacteria-resistant making them desirable for us parents! But best of all, they're on a huge sale right now at Zulily! Up to 40% off!

Visit zulily.com now to take advantage of this sale. It ends on Monday, September 13.

Target on Gilt Groupe

I promise I'm not obsessed with Gilt Groupe...really, I'm not. It's just a coincidence that my last post was about them. Truly. With that said, I have exciting news to share...about Gilt Groupe.

Beginning tomorrow, August 20th, at noon, Target will be offering three new collaborations exclusively on Gilt prior to them being available in stores. The three designers featured are Tucker fashions, Mulberry bags, and Jon Derian decoupage.

If you're interested in purchasing (and if you're familiar with them, I'm sure you are!), get online early because there are a limited number of products available...and only through the weekend. If you miss the boat on this offer, you'll have to wait until September 12th and October 10th for the launches of these designers in Target stores.

You need an invitation to shop gilt.com...and here is yours! Click here to register for happy discount shopping!

Life Factory Beverage Bottles

When Hazel was born I purchased Life Factory silicone-sleeved bottles to use when I was out of the house (although she never took to them...or any other bottle, for that matter). I always coveted her color bottles and wished there was an adult version for me. And now there is!

Life Factory has started making beverage bottles for us adults that come in the six colors you see above. I ordered the white, and have to say I love the clean, sophisticated look of it! Although I may be ordering another one in a fun color as well...you can never have too many water bottles around!

I think these bottles would make great Mother's Day gifts for moms and friends! What better way to show you care than to give a healthy and eco-friendly gift! And one that can be thrown in the dishwasher!

And this beverage bottle gave me an idea for Hazel's old bottle too...I ordered the solid baby bottle caps for hers and now Martha uses them as water bottles when we're on the go.

Visit lifefactory.com to purchase where they retail for $21.99. And enter coupon code ILOVEGLASS to receive 25% off your order of beverage bottles!

Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter

My family and I love Nutella! We've been eating it for years with strawberries, spread on toast and crackers and I'll admit, by the spoonful. And sandwiches made with Nutella and sliced bananas have been a longtime favorite of my son August. But every time my eyes catch the sugar statistics on the side of the jar, I cringe a bit.

So you can imagine how excited I was to learn that another longtime favorite of ours, Justin's Nut Butter, started making a Chocolate Hazelnut Butter.

Justin's chocolate hazelnut butter has one-third the sugar of Nutella but the same great taste! I no longer have to avert my eyes from the side of the jar while preparing snacks and sandwiches!

Order Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter at amazon.com where it's currently on sale and ships free!

Hable Construction

I am LOVING these fabric-covered horseshoes from Hable Construction! I can't think of a more perfect housewarming or hostess gift! At just $18.00 they're perfect to keep on hand and gift to the lovely lady or gent throwing a party this summer! (And if you're invited to a party at my house this summer, I fully expect these little guys!)

The colors are bright and cheery and because they're made by Hable Construction, you know the quality will be out of this world! Wouldn't these be cute over your child's bedroom door in their favorite color?

And remember, horseshoes are meant to be hung to look like a U...to catch all of the good luck coming your way!

Available at hableconstruction.com. Enter coupon code MOM through May 10th to receive 25% off!
