Amazon Baby Registry: The Most Important Reason Why I Would Choose It

October 17, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 2 Comments

Amazon has had a baby registry for several years now. And I even had registries with them when I was pregnant with my first. But it was one of several registries that I used, and even in 2009, it was the least popular registry amongst the folks who were buying us gifts. I think that was because they were just used to checking out other popular stores (like Babies R Us or Target) to look for registries.

If I were to get pregnant again (totally NOT in the plans, folks!), I wouldn’t have multiple registries. I would only have a registry at Amazon. And I’d pick it for one key reason: you can add ANY product from ANY store to your Amazon registry. For real.

Pretty freakin’ amazing, don’t you think?

There’s simply no need to have a registry at one store because the high chair you like best is there, and then open a second registry because the car seat you want is exclusively offered there. And then a third registry because you couldn’t find the fill-in-the-blank product you really wanted at the other two stores. It’s all in one central location now, baby!

As if that weren’t reason enough to have your baby registry with Amazon, you also get a 10% completion discount to help you out with anything you didn’t get but REALLY wanted. And if you are an Amazon Mom member, that discount bumps up to 15%. Heck yes!

Finally, are you worried that returning stuff will be expensive and a hassle? Worry no more! You get 90 days to make returns, and those returns are totally free. You just print a shipping label and send that exersaucer back from whence it came!!

If you are currently expecting or know someone who is, please let them know about the Amazon Baby Registry. It’s a great way to make life a little less hectic right from the very beginning of the parenting journey.

Red Alert! Free $5 to Amazon!!!

October 5, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 1 Comment

I’ve been meaning to write another open love letter to Amazon Prime, and just now I found my reason to finally do it.

  free gift card to amazon

Right now, if you purchase three $15 Amazon gift cards you will earn a $5 bonus Amazon gift card. I probably make a purchase on Amazon twice a month, and even more often during the last 3 months of the year, so I’ll have absolutely no problem putting that free $5 to work! And those $15 cards are going to fill in some gaps for some of the “hard to shop for” people on my list (which is pretty much all the men).

This promotion is open to Amazon Mom members who have either a paid Amazon prime membership, or who have signed up for the free trial of Amazon prime.

And let me tell you, there is no better time than RIGHT NOW to get your free trial on! Just think about how much of your holiday shopping you can take care of without having to worry about if you have purchased that pesky minimum $25 amount. And your purchases arrive sooner which means you can wrap them faster and be done with the shopping sooner and then just enjoy the holiday season!

And by “enjoy” I mean EAT ALL THE COOKIES. At least that’s what I’ll be doing. We are wrapping Christmas presents today (yes, I am totally serious). Checking stuff off that list, baby!

Here’s how to get the free trial: Join Amazon Prime

And once you are signed up, here’s how to get to the Amazon Mom Gift Card promotion. Hop to it, friends!!!

And by the way, the Amazon mom program rocks so hard. MAJOR discounts on lots of things, most notably diapers and wipes! It doesn’t cost anything to join beyond the Amazon Prime membership, either!

I’m an affiliate of Amazon, but I only promote what I already use and love. I paid for my own prime membership and I’d do it again in a heartbeat!

3 Earths Best Products I Buy on Amazon Regularly

April 14, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 2 Comments

I’ve been blogging faithfully about Earth’s Best products on my site for about 10 months, now. But I’ve been a loyal customer to the brand since I became a mom, and since the day that I realized we needed to supplement breastfeeding with some formula. I always love to hear about what products other moms are loyal to and how they find the best deals for them, so I thought I’d share with you 3 products from Earth’s Best that I order through Amazon.

best deals on amazon for earths best

My Earth’s Best Amazon Shopping List

1. Earth’s Best Formula. I actually buy the Earth’s Best Organic Infant Formula with Iron and the Earth’s Best Organic Sensitivity Infant Formula. I usually dump one can of each into a very large mixing bowl and combine the two powders, then put them back into their canisters all mixed up together. That is just what Layah seems to like best. Be sure to pay careful attention to the prices Amazon lists for each canister of formula. Right now, for example, it is cheaper to purchase the formula with iron 1 canister at a time than as a 4 pack, but it is cheaper to purchase the sensitivity formula as a 4 pack than 1 canister at a time. It makes no sense to me, but it must to Amazon!

2.  Certain jarred foods. Recently I ordered the Earth’s Best Organic 2nd Gourmet Meals, Variety Pack. They offer a variety pack of 12, which includes Chicken Mango Risotto, Creamy Chicken Apple Compote, Sweet Pea and Turkey Wild Rice, and Tender Beef Spinach. Layah definitely loves to eat meat, and this way I know she’s getting organic goodness. And the price is right, at $10.99 for a pack of 12, shipped to my door!

3. Certain pouch foods. I always check out Amazon for the very best price they offer on Earth’s Best pouches. Right now they have a 12 pack of Earth’s Best Pear, Apricot, Barley Pouches for$14.08 for a pack of 12, which makes each pouch just $1.17. That’s a good price for an organic squeeze pouch, in my book! We often like to make our own squeeze pouches, but I have these on hand for an extra special treat, too.

That’s what I’m buying on Amazon from Earth’s Best. What about you? Do you have any favorites from the brand? Or is there anything else for baby that you love to order on Amazon? Please share!

I am an Earth’s Best Preferred Blogger, and as such, receive complimentary products as a thank you for posting. I really do purchase these items on Amazon on my own, though! This post contains affiliate links.
