This news arrived via e-mail just this morning:
Canon USA wants me to Wrap Up All My Holiday Shopping right now, and has many ways for me to save money.
Lulu.com, which helps people make vanity books, has a Cyber-Monday Sale.
Fantagraphic Books, which is a premiere publisher of comics for the intellectually robust, has a 30% off sale on all comix published in 2009.
JetBlue Airways is offering a Great Trio Sale with airfares of $39/$69/$99. My experience with JetBlue sales is that I never qualify for them or am interested in where they are going. My last airfare between New York and San Francisco on JetBlue was more than $400.
Apple is offering Great Pricing on Exclusive Accessories. They must be really great, because they sent me the e-mail twice.
Amazon.com wants me to Give The Gift of Reading with their Kindle.
Sur La Table, which has been contacting me almost daily since I bought four placemats a month ago, wants to offer me an entire 14-pice set of Wusthoff knives for only $119. With free shipping! That’s a good deal. Except I already have that set. Somebody else may need one, though. I’m not sure yet.
Perhaps instead I should get the Supreme Joyful Tidings Gift Tower from Wolferman’s Bakery. I have no idea how I got on their e-mailing list, but they’ve been on my case for a while now. Nice tower.
EBay has Hot Gifts for Stanley Bing for under $50, with Free Shipping also.
Or I could Save 10% off everything at Ace Hardware today only!
Cushman Fruit Company, whoever they are, wants me to know that it’s my Last Chance to Enjoy 25% off on selected gifts, with Free Standard Delivery on Others. Cushman’s spokeslogo seems to be a talking orange.
Red Envelope’s 25% off sale has been extended another 24-hours. This has always appeared to me to be a sign of weakness, but perhaps it was because demand is so high?
The Republic of Tea has holiday news. There are gifts under $15 plus a special holiday offer that I will learn about if I decide to open the e-mail.
PayPal, which is owned by EBay and offers me a way to pay online without much hassle, wants to inform me that there are Cyber Deals from Wal-Mart, plus other holiday offers.
The Museum of Modern Art wants me to shop their Holiday Gift Guide. Members get 20% off Today Only.
And all of that before 7:30 AM Eastern Time. That seems like a lot to me. It’s not even counting the stuff I put an automatic Junk Mail label on, which now resides in my Deleted Files folder, unread. Perhaps I’d better check that now. I don’t want to miss all the opportunities now being offered to me by Walgreens.
