Yes, I know we’ve all just barely put away the Christmas decorations, but since I missed the iMommies Christmas season in 2008…I think I should keep a keen eye out for 2009!  If you just can’t bring yourself to shop for an event 11 months in advance, there are plenty of other holiday items on sale at Oriental Trading Company through February 9th.  The sales items are too vast to list, but here’s what I found this evening…just a little something fun to put away for NEXT Christmas.

Two adult-sized Gingerbread Aprons, one child-sized Gingerbread Apron, and a box of Christmas resealable sandwich bags…with an online coupon code, my total came to $7.95.  Just $7.95 for a fun afternoon of Christmas crafts (uhhh 11 months from now), three cute aprons for each of the kids while baking (and they’ll look adorable hanging on the kitchen hooks during non-baking holiday times), and 150 festive sandwich bags for school lunches and holiday party favors.  Who can resist that?!

Through 02/09/09, the Oriental Trading Company is offering a $10 off $10 purchase coupon code.  Standard shipping starts at $6.99, which isn’t fabulous, but combined with the tremendous discounts throughout their site, you can really stretch that $7! To make the deal just a little bit better, start off at Ebates, and earn 3% cash back on your purchase.
