Thanksgiving is nearly here meaning not just Christmas will soon be around the corner, but the other consumer “holidays” known as Black Friday and Cyber Monday will be more immediately upon us all.
If you’re like me, you laugh at people tramping over each other at brick and mortar stores and simply do your shopping online instead. My favorite one-stop shop, like most people these days is Amazon. You’ve likely seen some Amazon banners, ads, and links in the past here on HLS (and occasionally our twitter feeds) because HLS is an Amazon Affiliate.
What this means is that if you click any Amazon link on HLS like this one, purchasing just about anything within the next 24 hours on Amazon will result in HLS getting a small (believe me, very small) portion of your purchase. It costs you no extra money and no extra time and you can support HLS by doing what you would normally do anyways.
Amazon already has their Black Friday Deals Week underway, so go ahead and get a head start on your Christmas shopping because, let’s be honest, you really don’t want to be working this week anyways.
Or perhaps you’d rather say something with flowers? If so, TheBouqs has you covered:
No need for fancy gimmicks here, just forty bucks gets you a dozen fresh roses, shipping included.
“But Tex, I have this great deal in my email for a dozen roses for $25 from Generic Online Flower Company!” Yeah, go try complete an order and then let me know what your final cost is after you get charged for shipping, vase, a card, and whatever else those guys will throw at you to run your bill up before you realize what hit you.
Want to give a creative gift this Christmas? Take advantage of TheBouqs Concierge Service and get your loved one flower deliveries throughout the year. You can schedule deliveries for special dates or tell TheBouqs how many you’d like to send in a year and they’ll do all the work for you making you look like a thoughtful and romantic genius. You only get charged when the flowers shipped (at a discounted rate from the usual $40) and you can cancel anytime.
Oh, and TheBouqs also now has next day delivery from their California farms for only $10 more.
Need another reason? A Notre Dame grad is helping run this show.
By clicking any Bouqs banner like the one above or the one in our sidebar and purchasing anything at the Bouqs will give HLS a portion of your sale. Again, it costs you nothing more than what you’d spend if your buying flowers anyways and by using TheBouqs you are going to save a few bucks as well!
In summary:
- Click on our Amazon & Bouqs links/banners
- Buy things like you normally would
- HLS gets some change to help feed the hamsters
Seriously, do it for the hamsters:
