It's friday, so I have another deal mail from Eric.
Now that its November, and every department store we walk in to is already started to subject us to holiday music, I thought I might as well help my friendly dealsters out by giving them a reason to skip the mall for presents this year. For the next few weeks, I'll try to put lots of good gift stuff in there so you all have stuff to bring to Uncle Irwin at Thanksgiving! On with the deals!
1. The first item this week is an absolutely fantastic deal: 70% off an Indoor compact rotisserie and BBQ. This one has good reviews, does everything from leg of lamb to small turkeys, and comes with the full instruction booklet and warranty. At 30 bucks, you can't beat the price and who's gonna know you got such a great deal once its wrapped?!?! :-)

I bet you already know what I'm going to say... are you *really* going to use it, or is it just going to take up counter space? Of course, if you're giving it as a gift, it's not *your* counter space you're worrying about!
2. The next one is really sweet. For today only, Amazon has the 4.5 star reviewed home panini maker for under 30 bucks! This thing makes everything from grill cheeses to fancy italian paninis and people are gushing about how great it is in the reviews (My favorite review? "Incredibly easy to use and super tasty sandwiches. Open a can of Orangina with it and you are in Italian heaven!") Anyway, this is a great price for a great gift for yourself or a friend:

3. If you've been on this list for a while, you know this is one of my favorite items to feature: The Silpat Baking Mats. They are on pre-holiday sale for today only at an unbelievable price of under 10 bucks!! These are the flexible mats that you cane bake bread, cookies, caramel, etc... on and they absolutely never stick. You can also take something from the oven directly to the freezer on the same mat and they work fantastically. These suckers are almost 30 bucks at Williams Sonoma & Crate & Barrel. Save a bunch and get them here for stocking stuffers for the holidays!

Quick tip - measure your baking sheets and be sure they fit!
4. How about a non-kitchen gift. I saw a great deal this week on the top of the line Norelco mustache and beard trimmer. 50% off and it comes with 9 preset settings to take all the guesswork out of it (that's marketing speak for: "Comes with plain english settings so you don't give yourself a bald spot on the chin just before the big family holiday picture!") Anyway, this is a really nice one with great reviews:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000068PBQ/seattleot-20
Incidentally, the top of the line Braun razor is also on sale at more than 70% off (From $140 down to $40). Since this is also a really nice gift (this one has reviews that say "Best Shave EVER!!!"), thought I'd include it as well:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008DQJQ/seattleot-20
5. Final Gift deal? How's this for crazy? The HoMedics Ultra Foot Massager is on sale right now for 50% off at $25 (whish is already a great deal!). However, if you go to the page for the Foot Massager and then scroll down a little, you will find a "Buy Both and Save" button that tells you how to get the Foot Massager and a travel manicure set for the same price! (Make sure to click on the "Buy Both and Save" button or you'll only get the foot massager!) :-)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000050FF0/seattleot-20
Now, Since not everyone is ready to buy gifts just yet, there is some great other stuff out there that I can't resist passing on...
6. There is an absolutely incredible price right now on a major brand name (LG) 18" flat screen computer monitor for under $400 (nearly 50% off!) This is a really great deal folks (now one else is selling these for less than $600!) and just a few months ago you couldn't find them for less than $650. If you are thinking about upgrading, this is a great time. Check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006BAZP/seattleot-20
LCD flat panel monitors are a great solution to help make space on your desk!
7. Now, I normally don't include digital cameras in the deal mail because they're usually pretty pricey. However, my friend Alex begged me yesterday to find one for her in time for the deal mail. Luckily, I was able to pull it off: There is a great deal today and the highly reviewed, ultra tiny, 4 megapixel Pentax Optio 430RS. This thing takes beautiful pictures and is less than 4" long (completely pocket sized.) It is almost 50% off at a completely amazing price of almost $300! (Just last August, you couldn't get 4 megapixels for less than $400!).
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006B12C/seattleot-20
8. For all you caffeine addicts, how about 80% off a Cuisinart coffee maker that even comes with two of those thermal mugs (that I think cost more to buy than this whole setup!) Check it out at under 15 bucks!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00009K3UL/seattleot-20
9. How about your random tool of the week? The really high end Hitachi plunge router (With great reviews like, "The Incredible HULK! of routers") is on sale for 70% off this week. This thing is fantastic for woodworkers who want to make moldings, cabinets, whatever... Its $160 instead of $550! If you're into this type of thing, go to town!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000223K9/seattleot-20
10. And of course, how could I forget, the crazy, so low you'll think we're INSANE, knife set deal of this week. This time, the whole set is under 17 bucks!!! (93% off!!!) (You could get six of these and just throw them away when they get dull at that price!!) Seriously! The nice set of scissors that come with this thing are worth 17 bucks!! Buy 'em for the whole family:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000066SYK/seattleot-20
And now, for the famous, final, bizarre item for the week: For the completely paranoid in your life (you know you have one!) Check out the amazing home safe on sale today that opens only by fingerprint! (Just when you thought the shoebox full of money under your mattress was safe...right?) This thing hits an 11 on the cool meter...Now if I just had something to put into it...
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00009YV7Z/seattleot-20
Have a great weekend everyone! As always, please feel free to forward...
