New York Renovator

Well, have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Maybe you’re stuck with a few of the “hard to buy” people on your list. Ooo I have got some great ideas for you! I found a wonderful website that has LOADS of home products and more stuff.

I have four teens. I NEVER know what to get them. I mean, they can *only* have *so* many mp3 players and earbuds sets, right?

How about some new bedding by Egyptian Peddler? I love these! The purple zebra striped set is stunning.

For the in-laws who seem to have everything… I’ll bet they don’t have this! Isn’t it adorable?! It’s one of the new products by Heritage Lace– a lace door panel for Christmas/winter season. I love it!

And how about a simply smashing gift for your favorite home improvement blogger, eh?

That’s a “Gustav Becker Cineca Melodies in Motion Wall Clock.” I’m nuts about clocks, especially Rivercity clocks. I love that one!

Anyway, the site is BedBathStore.com. They have some really nice stuff. Some of it is a little pricey, but there’s a holiday sale right now, and the prices are very reasonable. There’s free shipping on orders over $55 (which will not be difficult to obtain) with coupon code HOL55. Enjoy!

I recently blogged about my “I shoulda had a V-8!” moment (buying construction materials at salvage yards), and I just had another idea– buying refurbished or sharply discounted materials! I often go to Buy.com to buy my electronics stuff now (they have the best prices and free shipping), and I recently discovered that Buy.com has home and outdoor stuff, too. And actually, you can get building materials, tools, and household supplies at great prices there, too!

For example, check out this DeWalt replacement battery for my power drill. I’ve been looking for new batteries, but have been balking at the price at my local Home Depot: $100!! Guess how much this is at Buy.com? Go on, GUESS!

$57!!! That’s almost HALF the price!! Very cool.

I can’t believe I used to buy retail prices for all the stuff we need around here. Holy cow, think of all the money I wasted! I love Buy.com– they are the only place I get my electronics from anymore– and they have a great variety on everything (stuff like baby items, jewelry, books, clothing, etc). The home products are at good prices, and they variety is impressive– spray paint, garbage bags, plumbing joints, glass cutters, sandpaper, smoke detectors, power tools, etc etc! Pretty neat! Check out the weekly sale page at Buy.com for good deals, too. I love Buy.com!! Before you buy anything retail, check them out for deals first.
