BUFFALO, NY - Today marks one of the best deal days we've seen since May.

There's a lot to celebrate. Let's start with a collection of great everyday, inexpensive gifts.

Whether it be a birthday party, graduation, or a house warming party, it is a wonderful idea to have inexpensive gifts accessible for all of life's better moments.

 

Two Great Gifts Under $10

Two of my favorite items today are great talk-about items.

Let's start with the SKOY Cloth. You've seen the Sham-Wow -- this is practically a better version for the new generation.

$9.81 gets you four SKOY Cloths with free shipping that absorb 15 times their weight in liquids. They're reusable and each cloth will outlast 15 rolls of paper towels. I love these and they're washer/dryer safe. CLICK HERE

Also at $10 today, a 3-pack of EverBamboo Deodorizers with free shipping. We loved testing these things. Rather than masking a smell with some funky flower odor, these natural charcoal air fresheners last up to a year and absorb the worst orders. It made an old car smell new, heinous gym sneakers smell normal and gave an old gym bag new life. These are great! CLICK HERE 

 

Shopping for kids?

Currently Toys R Us is having a "buy one get one half off" sale on all FAO Schwarz toys. In this mix there are various unique toys for boys and girls. Now is the time to stock up on general birthday gifts from large stuff animals, dolls, dinosaurs, drums, cash registers, sporting balls and musical items. This sale has it all! For a limited time don't miss this chance to stock up on endless options of inexpensive children's gifts. Spend $75 or more and get free shipping.

Expires 11/01/11. CLICK HERE

 

Shopping for women or men?

Below is a special offer for $15 off already low prices on designer fragrances at Perfume Emporium. The merchant has over 15,000 items to choose from, so there is something for everybody. Save and stock up on two perfumes for a savings total up to 75% off store prices.

The discount is easy to use: Select two items, enter all your billing, credit and shipping info, then enter coupon code at the bottom. Like magic, $15 is taken off the total. Plus, you can ship both of these items to you or your special someone for only $5.95.

Shopping for any family member?

And now for other big overnight deals that are not everyday gifts, but perhaps something you've been waiting for.

Get a new (not refurbished) Barnes and Noble 1st Edition WiFi Nook.

I love Amazon, but the Barnes and Noble book collection is just as tremendous and you can also bring your Nook into a Barnes and Noble store and read any book in the store. They also pop coupons onto your Nook for use at the Starbucks Cafés in their stores and the prices are great.

The 1st Edition Nook (which is still being sold at Barnes and Noble stores) is very lightweight and features a color touchscreen at the bottom. Today, it's $85, plus free shipping. Sold by Barnes and Noble via Buy.com, this will sell out and is the lowest price I've ever seen on a Nook. CLICK HERE

For all the folks who followed my advice to hold off on the Dell Mini, I apologize for being one week off on my estimate, but today is the price drop of $100! You can score one today for $229.99 with free shipping.

The Dell Inspiron Mini features a 10.1-inch screen, 1 GB of RAM and 160 GB HDD with Windows 7. This is super sleek, but the speeds are average. It is a netbook, not a laptop. The Dell Mini is brand new but may not be in its original packaging.

Expected to sell-out extremely quickly, this eBay daily deal reseller has 99.3% positive buyer feedback with more than 161,000 orders fulfilled. CLICK HERE
