Things have been crazy around here and now it is Cyber Monday! Lucky you for reading our blog, because today only (that is Monday, November 26, 2007) we are giving you 25% off your entire order! Simply enter voucher code "madness" during checkout and your savings will appear. Certain exclusions may apply. Voucher code expires at midnight PST today.

Now onto Monday Madness! We know how much you all love our products ... you have done a good job of beating that into our heads. :) But we are sure you probably love gift certificates even more, yes? Okay, okay! One lucky reader will win a $50 gift certificate to The Polkadot Platypus to use in any way they like! Simply leave a comment here on this post telling us how early you were up on Black Friday to get the shopping deals (or if you never left your bed). Don't forget to leave your name and email address in your comment (READ THIS SENTENCE TWICE IF YOU MISSED IT), because we need to be able to contact you! Non-bloggers may post under "anonymous", but you still have to leave your name and email address. Yes we emphasize this because some people are not doing this. :)

Much love to all of you ... don't forget about the 25% savings today only ... and good luck!

*******************

We have extended the 25% discount for one more day, since none of of our beloved subscribers were notified until just recently. Our Monday Madness contest, however, has ended. Congratulations to Kristen (KristenLJackson at MSN dot com) ... you are the winner of a $50 gift certificate!

Thanks for a great giveaway!

I'd love to win!

I have really bad morning sickness so the best of shopping intentions were out the door because I was up all night sick to my stomach. I did wake up at 10 and bought a couple of things I wanted online. Most were sold out though. Oh well, the baby is worth it. :D

I slept in until 8am then had pumpkin pie for breakfast. :)

Anonymous said...: I was up with my twin daughters at 6 am...but we went shopping at Target and Meijers about 10 am- after the mega crowds left- with twin toddlers (and a double stroller), shopping is always an adventure!! Later that night, I hit the stores online for some good deals!

Jason and Caryn said...: Ok..so hubbie and I are crazy...the outlets opened at midnight so hubbie went over to shop while I stayed home with the baby and we talked over the phone so he knew what I was shopping for. Went back to bed and woke up again at 4:30 to go to Toys R Us! We're so crazy!

By the time I got there there were already 200 plus in line. I couldn't do that. I stayed in my car and waited for the line to enter the building so that I didn't freeze solid on the way in.
