Seriously, I’ve never seen Oprah Magazine for this cheap! Amazon has Oprah magazine as the deal of the week, valid until this Saturday at 11:59pm.
$5 for the whole year (I think one issue is more than that!!)…grab a year for you, your mom, sister, or really, any gal in your life!
Happy shopping!
On Saturday, I posted about the giveaway winner for day 4. No one has emailed me yet, so if it was you, you have until 11:59pm tonight (Monday night) to claim your prize or I’ll have to give random.org another go!
I’d hate to do this, so if you entered for the giveaway, be sure to check to see if you won!
Thanks to all the comments for the last Etsy giveaway of the week! This has been such a fun blogging event for me, and it’s great to see all of these great comments about these shops! I’m also super psyched about all of the new readers I’ve gotten this week! Welcome to the blog!
I also hope that this week of Etsy shops gave you some great gift ideas for the holidays. 
So, I’m sure you want me to stop rambling and just get to the winner of the item from Stellar Cheri’s shop, right?

You guys are so fabulous! Thanks to everyone who participated in Day 3’s giveaway from Crochet Maggie! Y’all are really spreading the word, according to the hits count for my blog, and that gives me warm fuzzies.

So, I’m sure you guys are dying to know who won this one! Well, one of my readers is very lucky, because this is their second time winning this week! Wow!
To prove that I’m not pulling reader favorites, the post had 13 comments if you don’t count my pingback.
Lucky girl, ShoeFanatic614! I’ll be passing your information along to Crochet Maggie to get y’all in contact with each other about the colors you want! Congrats!!
Don’t forget, Crochet Maggie is still offering 10% off all items in her shop, if you mention that you read about her at The Nifty Newlywed!
For the last day of the shop palooza, I’m going to feature My Three Blind Mice. My Three Blind Mice features handmade crocheted accessories, like scarfs, hats, purses and brooches! Look at some of her work below!

Her work is so beautiful and creative. The items in her shop are so cute, and it almost makes me want to fork out the needles and yarn again to get to work on making cute things. Unfortunately, time is not in my favor right now, so those things will have to wait.
My Three Blind Mice is offering all readers 10% off anything in her shop if you mention the code “nifty” in an Etsy conversation. She’ll then give you the discount via Paypal! Awesome!
And, even though there is no giveaway for this shop, you **might** want to leave some comments about what you like from her shop, because there **might** be a surprise from me next week for those who do. I just like to keep things interesting and sneaky…
Have a good weekend!
Thanks for everyone who participated in Day 2’s giveaway from Metal 4 Mommies! Thanks for all the tweets, comments and blogging!!

For day 4 of the shopping/giveaway palooza, I’m going to showcase Stellar Cheri. Stellar Cheri’s shop features handmade sewn items, including shirts, purses, and clutches! Here’s a sampling of what her shop has to offer!
I love the fabrics that she uses on her items. They are so cute and fun! The items in her shop are reasonably priced, as well as unique, which makes a great idea for gifts! She also offers custom items, so if you have an idea for a gift, let her know!
Stellar Cheri is generously offering a reader of The Nifty Newlywed this cute zipper pouch. If you can’t see, the black fabric has music notes on it.

If you’d like a chance to win, there are up to 4 ways to enter this giveaway! You have until Friday, December 11th by 11:59pm to enter and you must live in the continental U.S. to win!
Good luck and happy shopping!
Sephora recently sent out $15 off $35 gift certificates via email to all Beauty Insiders (or $20 off $35 for VIB’s). It is a tempting coupon, but you might remember that I told myself before Christmas not to spend on myself. Today, I’m happy to admit that I got PAID to use this gift certificate.
See, there is a small loophole with the gift certificate. When you make a purchase online, Sephora treats it as a gift certificate with NO minimum. Sweet right?
Here’s how to do it:
JCPCHOOSE – Choose from 2 Deluxe samples with any order – Shine and Protect Glossing Mist Deluxe Sample OR Smashbox Photo Finish Light Foundation Primer Sample
WISHME – Choose 1 of 3 minis: Nars Lip Gloss Duo sample in Dolce Vita/Striptease, Yves Saint Laurent Mascara in Black or 4 oz Philosophy Inner Grace Perfumed Body Emulsion
EYEPRIMER – Free Smashbox Photofinish Lid Primer deluxe sample with your online merchandise order.
PUREGRACE – Free 4 oz Philosophy Pure Grace Lotion
BEFLAWLESS – Free Bare Escentuals Flawless Definition Mascara Deluxe Sample
DDFWASH – Free DDF facewash (Glycolic Exfoliate Wash) 2-3 week sample. $10 Value
Here is my receipt to show that it works.
Now, remember the Bing cashback for 10% off? I’m getting 90 cents cashback, essentially meaning that not only were these two items free, but I got paid a small (like 14 cents small) amount to do this. Not too shabby I say! As of last night, my order shipped and the credit card was still charged 76 cents so this does work folks!
Thanks to Slickdeals for sharing this sweet deal!
Thanks everyone for participating in Day 1’s giveaway from GG’s Boutique! There were over 60 entries after tallying blog posts, tweets, etc….wow!

Thanks everyone for entering and a HUGE thanks to GG’s Boutique for sponsoring this fantastic giveaway!
Remember you can still enter to win a necklace from Metal 4 Mommies AND you can now enter to win handmade dish cloths from Crochet Maggie !
