Cozy Slippers

We all need at least one pair of soft slippers for padding around the house in the morning, stepping out to grab the paper or just keeping our feet warm while we sit and read a good book. I've now found more perfect slippers than I could ever possibly wear online. But at least the following sites give you plenty of pairs to choose from:


Pajamagram.com has simple, white Classic Spa Slippers and extra-warm Fuzzy Wuzzies in multiple colors for women. The guys will fall in love with the Shearling Slippers for men. And grown-ups and kids alike will love the dreamy slipper socks. Earn a 4% ConsumerClub.com rebate while you shop Pajamagram.com.


Payless.com is not only a hot spot for low prices, it's also got slipper style to spare. And some of the slippers on this site are now on sale for prices as low as $5. Kids will love the Hannah Montana, Bratz and Spider Man 3 branded slippers, among many others. Men will enjoy the Airwalk styles. And women have plenty more to choose from. As if these prices weren't low enough already, you'll also earn a 3% ConsumerClub.com rebate as you shop here.


Finally, brace yourself for the unbelievable slipper selection at Zappos.com. Browse the hundreds of choices here and you may be in slipper shock. However, you'll certainly come out of the experience well heeled. From moccasins to mules to fluffy flip-flops to shearling slides, the options are endless. And the 6% ConsumerClub.com discount only makes it easier for you to indulge in more pairs for the whole family.

Bright Spot

What a difference the right light can make on your bedside table. In a dark corner of the living room. Or strategically placed in your kids' play area. A new lamp can go well beyond illuminating your space. It can bring a room to life. Better yet, your entire home. Here are some of the best placed I've found to pick up cool lamps online:


Kohls.com has quite a few sleek metal lamps, among others, at great prices. The Adesso Hepburn style is minimalist and chic while the Venus Spiral Floor or Table Lamp appear almost vine-line, though modern. Another option I like is the robotic arm-looking Architect Lamp. How else can shopping here brighten your day? With a 2% rebate from ConsumerClub.com.


Looking for something off-the-wall and yet somewhat old-fashioned? Go to HomeClick.com and check out the retro Accolade or Kenroy lamps, the apparently crystal-ball-inspired Acrylic collection OR the gorgeous stained glass lamps within the Antiques Road Show by Dale Tiffany collection. You'll earn a 3% ConsumerClub.com rebate while shopping here.


How about lamps in looks that are both retro modern and incredibly sophisticated? CB2.com fills the bill quite nicely with the space age Eclipse Pendant Lamp, the brushed nickel Tripod Floor Lamp and the lustrous black Rider Table Lamp. The Bauhaus Arc Floor Lamp in olive green will turn heads for more than just light.

Happy Valentines

Your significant other. Your kids. Your grandparents. Your best buddy. No matter who you're showering with attention this Valentine's Day, you have a lot of special gifts to consider. Here are some great places to find them:


There truly is something for everyone at UncommonGoods.com. From the Love Tokens to the Frog Prince statues to the Light My Fire pewter paperweight.

And the pink and red heart vases would make stunning additions to the dinner table.


PerpetualKid.com, which exists to help you entertain your inner (badly behaved) child, has the appropriately juvenile Love Gun, which shoots tiny cupids. It's also home to Love Vouchers, a heart-shaped mold for fried eggs, the “I Love You” toast stamp, a giant faux diamond, itty-bitty love notes and a host of other silly (and affordable) gifts.
