Tiny Prints Has Free Shipping & More Deals

Tiny Prints is currently offering a number of great stackable deals. With these deals, it is a great time to start planning for your holiday card needs.

Disclaimer: I am a Tiny Prints Affiliate and am compensated for sales through TinyPrints links. I appreciate your support of my blog by shopping through my links.

First, they are offering FREE Shipping with NO minimum! This is an awesome deal. Free shipping deals often have a minimum purchase requirement.

If you are ready to order your holiday cards or invitations (really, already), they are offering 15% off purchases under $99 and 20% off purchases over $99.

Also on the holiday front is 15% off holiday gifts which include ornaments. I love having photo ornaments from each year on my tree. My only complaint is that all of the ornaments come with a tag for the current year so I can't make them for past years.

The deal of the day valid through October 21 at 11a ET (8a PT) is for 50% off of a self-inking stamp.



Finally, if you have a new baby, you can save 15% on birth announcements.

Big Savings on Photo Books

Photo Books are a great way to remember family vacations, special events, or even just life in general. I want to make a photo signature book for our upcoming trip to Disney. My brother first made the photo signature books for my nieces for their second trip, and they have become a tradition. I use photos with the characters from our previous visits to make the book.

Save 40% on Shutterfly Books, 101 Free Prints, & a FREE Card

Disclaimer: I am a Shutterfly Affiliate and am compensated for sales through Shutterfly links. I appreciate your support of my blog by shopping through my links.

With Father's Day, Graduations, Weddings, and the end of school it is definitely a picture time of year. Not only are lots of pictures taken, but photo gifts are a great sentimental gift for dads, grads, and everyone else. I know we have a very busy week in my family with Father's Day, two birthdays, and an anniversary.


Now is the time to order, or at least start planning your orders with great deals from Shutterfly.

The main Shutterfly promotions are:

• 40% off Photo Books 5/23 - 5/29
• 101 Free Prints from 5/27 to5/28
• Receive one free greeting or stationery card with promo code CARD4U

Taxes, and shipping and handling charges will still apply as will any upgrade fees.

I have ordered from Shutterfly many times and have always been happy with their services.

Personalized iPhone Cases

My iPhone is easily my most important accessory on a daily basis as it is rarely out of arms reach. When TinyPrints asked me to share this infographic, I was shocked at some of the statistics. I can't believe that only 76% of people have dropped their phone. I drop mine on a regular basis - although I have gotten better about it. Because of my propensity for dropping it, I bought a case with my phone. Even when my old case started cracking, I left it on until I bought a new case.


I think my next case will be a personalized case. It will certainly make it easy to find among all my family and friends who also have iPhones.

Which statistic below surprises you - or what minority do you fall into?

Preserving your Halloween Memories

Now that Halloween is drawing to a close (my daughter and husband just returned from trick or treating), it is time to start thinking about preserving your Halloween memories. Unfortunately, I never seem to get good Halloween photos once it gets dark.


Preserve your Halloween memories in a Shutterfly photo book and From 10/31-11/4 Save 50% on hard cover Photo Books from Shutterfly.com. I love Shutterfly Photo Books and have made them for many occasions.

You can also enter Shutterfly's Howl-O-Ween photo contest by uploading your favorite Halloween photo for a chance to win a stay for 4 at Great Wolf Lodge and $200 worth of Shutterfly gift certificates. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, MI last October and had a great time.

Finally, you can Halloween-ify your Facebook cover photo with this app. The cover photos that include pictures will rotate through an album, so it is best if you upload your Halloween pictures into their own album.

My sister made my mom a year in photos album for Christmas and it was great. I am thinking I need to compile all of my daughters pictures and make one for each year.

We also use photo cards for Christmas, but have also sent them for other holidays to a few people. With Picaboo you can make individual cards starting at $1.29

There are Great Deals Around - Pictures, Nintendo DSi, Movie Tickets, & Back to School Items

I wanted to share a few great deals with my readers.

Snapfish has launched their redesigned website. They are offering an 8x10 photo collage for free with free shipping. Use the code GRANDSHIP. This offer is only available for items shipped and is not available for in store pick up at their various partners. This offer is good today (August 16) and tomorrow (August 17).

Walgreen's is offering 25 free prints with the code 25FREECREDIT. You can enter this into your account and have until October 15 to use them. I have used Walgreen's for quite a few orders and have been pleased with their quality. They are also offering 75% off of a 5x7 easel print as today's daily deal. They will have a daily deal each day this week, starting yesterday (Sunday) with a free 8x10 print.

Target has a set of daily deal specials each day. Today's specials are Nintendo DS related. The main special is a Nintendo DSi bundle which includes AC & car adapters. They also have specials on games and accessory kits. At a 15% discount on the main system, this may be a good time to buy if you are planning to give your child one for the holidays or an upcoming birthday.

PlumDistrict is offering a Fandango movie ticket for $6 (up to a $12 value). You can only purchase one per person, but you and a spouse could each create an account and purchase one. I did not see any restrictions on one per household.

Staples has a free electric pencil sharpener (after rebate), $0.01 notebooks, printer paper, and photo paper. They also have $1 Sharpies (5 pk), Dry Erase Markers, Children's scissors, and pens. I have stocked up on a few of their recent back to school deals and plan to visit this one as well.

Free 8x10 Collage at Walgreens

Walgreens is offering a free 8x10 collage print just in time for Mother's Day. Use coupon code GOODTHOUGHTS through Saturday, May 8. Thanks to Freebies4Mom for posting the code and instructions on her website.

Last year for Mother's Day I created an 8x10 collage for my mother of pictures of her and my daughter through the previous year. The pictures included various other family members (my dad, me, my niece, my sister), but the two of them were in every picture. I did the same for my Dad for Father's Day. While I gave them the gifts in their own frame, they decided to get a larger frame with a double 8x10 mat to display them together.

With this offer, I am going to give her a new collage for this year.

As a cost saving tip when you do not have a code for a free collage, Google's Picasa software that you download to your computer will create collages that can be saved as a jpg. You can then upload and print this wherever you print pictures as a regular print and not pay extra for the collage ($2.99 for an 8x10, $3.99 for an 8x10 collage). However, you do not have the ability to fine tune the picture placement like you do when you order a collage print.
