#Will Amazon have Black Friday sales?

girl help the content about palestine on tiktok is turning from actual journalism content and educational resources and organized ways to help to "boycott everything or you're a bad person and if you don't use a game filter that generates 0.00001 cent you're personally the problem"

WIBTA if I got my cousin a gift?

My family does a secret santa style gift exchange by age group. This year, someone made a group chat to put gift suggestions/wishlists in. Some people are more specific, some people drop their entire amazon wishlist, whatever. I gave two ideas for mine.

The cousin i got asked for a gift card or money. Hes been pulling away from the family for a while, and while I cant fully disagree and have been tempted myself, its a little frustrating when he shows up for the gift exchange and immediately leaves.

The other thing is that this cousin is spoiled af - hes got a nicer car than me, and I know that he gets all of his money from his dad. Kid has been materialistic and image-obsessed for years, but I also know how hard it is to be gay in the area he lives, so I cant really blame him from going full Arianna Grande Fan stereotype. Ive tried to talk to him over the years, try to be a supportive older cousin, but he wont engage with anyone, even when I’m trying to find common ground. Like the only conversation weve had in the last year was “i like your nails” “thanks”

He also took a while to respond to the group chat, and I ordered something on black friday for him (nail related) before he said he wanted money.

Im just torn. On one hand, I feel like money is a shitty, impersonal gift, and something he has plenty of. On the other hand, he made his wish clear. And on the third hand, I already placed the order and cant return due to the sales. Would it be an ah move to try to give him a gift that I think he would enjoy and that we could connect over if it means ignoring his request?

What are these acronyms?

You wanna know what (my) ADHD is like?

ADHD is deciding you want to work on one of your WIPs so you grab a coffee and head to the library because it’s a change of scenery and it’s quiet, but you already had your AirPods in when you got there, so you spend the first fifteen minutes making trying to find the song that sounds suspiciously similar to the one you’re already listening to before you actually start writing.

Everything is going smoothly and flowing well until you have to fact-check something and while you’re looking for the answer you stumble across a TikTok video you made (because you use TikTok for fact/accuracy checking) and then you start scrolling through other videos you have made and find one that did really well, basically a collection of pictures of your favorite actresses, so you decide to make an updated version and you start alternating between Pinterest, Instagram, and Google to find photos.

Trying to find the perfect photos takes way longer than you expect because you find photos you think would be useful for other projects and you are also having to make sure the photos you chose for this project are the best quality, and during that process, you realize the lighting that is coming through the window where you’re sitting is really good so you snap some selfies and then you go back to looking for photos but then you notice a wholesome interaction between who you assume is a father and a daughter and you just have to write about it and then you can go back to looking for pictures.

At some point, you start thinking about buying a camera because you’ve been wanting one for years so you do about five minutes of “research” (looking up “best cameras for beginners” on TikTok and then doing a quick google search) before adding a camera and a lens to your amazon cart, but then you look at the total and think “that’s a lot of money” so you look up when cameras go on sale because the only sale you can think of is Black Friday/Cyber Monday and it’s currently February and you find there is usually a sale in July/August so you set a reminder in your calendar and move the two items in your amazon cart to your wish list.

After all of that, you switch back to the story you were supposed to be working on and you realize it’s been over two and a half hours, you’ve written 100 words for your work in progress, written a 186-word account of the wholesome interaction you witnessed, got nowhere near finishing the TikTok video you were working on, your music has changed from sad piano playlist to the playlist you listen to when you want to feel like the badass main character, you talked yourself out of buying $600 worth of camera equipment, and you are about to poop your pants from finishing your Dunkin cold brew over an hour ago.

ADHD is also being unaware that you were so deep into the hyperfocus zone until you’re sitting in your car and you return to reality and you remember that other people are not just NPCs.

ADHD is also coming back to edit this because you realized no ADHD person is going to want to read that long of a paragraph (including me) 🤦‍♀️ It still big paragraphs but it’s a bit better now imo

So I know Amazon and Target are doing their big pre-holiday deals thing right now…but GOOD NEWS! A lot of the small business girlies are having sales, too! Myself included!

I’ve reduced my prices to pretty close to what I’ll have on Black Friday. So if you had something on your wishlist, now’s a good time to come grab it! And be sure to check out all of your other favorite small businesses this weekend, too!

The whole shop is on sale! And it is here!

A little while back, @somethingsteff posted about the Dr. Squatch Star Wars soaps that she found. I couldn’t find them at any stores near me, but I did find a set on Amazon (I got the Prequel edition, there’s also a Sequels edition) and it happened to be on sale for Black Friday so I ordered one as a fun holiday gift for the fam.

Do you want to know what Obi-Wan smells like? Here’s a quick review of this set in case anyone might want to get these for the Star Wars fan in their life themselves.

This is what it looks like when you open the box. It’s actually quite nice for a soap set, I think? I don’t usually buy collector’s sets of soaps though.

Here’s an closer look at the soap boxes. The Dark Side Scrub (Vader) and Ruthless Rinse (Maul) have some exfoliating scrub to them.

This is what’s under the soaps. I thought it was kind of cool that they had the lightsabers. However, kind of miffed that they had Obi-Wan as a Jedi Knight instead of Master. Somewhere in the galaxy, Vader is laughing.

I took them out of the box to let them breathe overnight and trimmed a small piece to test each of them out.

Wisdom Wash (Yoda) - This is the most mildly scented of the set. It’s a bit earthy (but not like a swamp) and my kids thought it smelled like tea leaves. It’s something that you might get as a hotel soap. It lathers well, doesn’t have any grit, and I think most people would find it pleasant. It leaves a faint scent on your hands that’s pretty true to what the bar smells like. The kids say this is their favorite in the set.

Dark Side Scrub (Vader) - This soap is a little stronger smelling than Yoda’s. It’s a smoky scent and a bit like burnt bacon. They did our boy dirty! It lathers well and the grit is barely noticeable. But it doesn’t leave the smell of bacon on your hands after you wash with it. It’s still a little smokey and spicy, not a “fresh” kind of smell and not really “woodsy” either, but I don’t mind it.

Only Hope Soap (Obi-Wan) - This is the strongest smelling soap in the set. It’s clean and fresh, leading me to believe this is pre-desert hut era Obi-Wan. It’s definitely a “men’s” soap type scent. It’s very smooth, no grit, and leaves a strong scent on your hands that’s true to what the bar smells like. This is probably my favorite out the bunch.

Ruthless Rinse (Maul) - This soap isn’t as strong smelling as Obi-Wan’s, it’s maybe on par with Vader’s. It’s spicy and sharp and very “men’s” deodorant smelling. There’s noticeable grit that’s nice for exfoliating and the it leaves a spicy scent on your hands that’s similar to what the bar smells like. I would say that this almost smells the same on my hands as the Vader soap.

Overall, this was a fun gift! I’m not sure I would’ve gotten it if it hadn’t been on sale (and I got it with my subscribe and save delivery so there was an extra discount), but I’m glad that I did. The box it comes in is really nice and the kids are having a lot of fun with it. I left the slices of soap in the bathroom and everytime they wash their hands I have to guess which one they used lol.

Hello, I remember your tablet giving up around chrismas or so, did you replaced it with the same model or have you upgraded it to a recent one?

Hi! Yeah my old tablet died about a year ago. I dropped it and the second mini USB was ripped from where it was attached (I did the same with the first USB 10 years ago... so no usable port left). My husband opened it to try and repair it but it was too damaged, so I replaced it with a very similar model!

Truth is I knew my old tablet, bought in 2009, was probably gonna give up at a time or another so some years ago I snatched another Wacom Intuos (A model 5 I think) from Amazon's black friday sale lol; A pretty good deal, that was sitting in its box waiting for its turn.

So yeah, even though I changed my tablet, I only used that spare one and did not go through the whole "should I buy something different" process. I still very much prefer no-screen tablet!

Hey, Amazon.

Slow your roll. I already know your Black Friday sale has started. I don’t need 8 notifications and 3 emails a day to remind me. By the way, the items in my cart are not lonely nor do they feel abandoned. They have each other for comfort and support.

Mom has doctor's orders. in writing. on paperwork. to be out of work until January, specifically because she works retail (in customer service/amazon returns, no less) and the doctor doesn't want her working during the holidays while she still cannot bend down, kneel, squat, lift more than 10lbs, twist at the hip, reach above her shoulders, push/pull heavy objects, stand/walk for extended lengths of time, etc.

Meanwhile, her job (which recently got new management who brags about firing people) has scheduled her to return next week. Aka, just in time for Black Friday sales/christmas shopping + the flood of returns expected afterwards.

Both she and the doctor sent in paperwork to the company that handles LOAs, medical leave, etc. And she's been calling the company to try and get clarification/confirmation of her LOA status for the past few days but no one had answered her.

And today they were finally like "Yes your leave is approved through the 27th :)"

And she's like "No, that's just what Work wants me to do. I've been asking for an extension. I have paperwork from the doctor which says I should be out until January"

So they told her to talk to her manager (the firing-happy guy) about "the next steps"

I'm not even the one dealing with it directly and it's frustrating as fuck

(Just in case she does have to go back, she has a doctor's note which we got today which lists all of her restrictions. It basically makes her useless in a retail environment but, yknow, they asked for her to come back. Fuck 'em. Pay her to sit there and do nothing since you can't be bothered to idk keep enough people around to compensate for someone being out. Obviously she's not handing that to them until it's certain she's going back)

Honestly, her goal has been to let herself get fired, because then she can get unemployment benefits she wouldn't be entitled to if she quit, and disability. but they'd rather work her to the point of disability or until she quits, of course

told her to make multiple copies of the doctor's note so she can keep one and give one to them, so she has one to refer to if they get shitty and whiny about her not being able to Do Things. no shit sherlock, she got back surgery. or, worse, if they try to pretend they didn't get such paperwork

fuck Kohl's btw

I defrauded a major corporation :)

On Black Friday, I bought myself a pair of AirPods. The regular price is $130, but I got them on sale for $80.

They were delivered, they worked much better than the cheap knockoff pair I was using before, I was happy.

But then. I guess someone at the Amazon warehouse got confused?? Because the next day. A second pair of AirPods showed up on my doorstep.

The right/ethical thing to do probably would have been “tell Amazon they accidentally gave me 2 pairs.”

Did I do that? No.

Instead, I called Amazon and was like “hi, I have one pair of AirPods, only one, and I’ve decided to return them, because I don’t like them!”

I sent the AirPods back to the warehouse. Amazon refunded me my $80.

I still have my other AirPods in my pocket. They were essentially free. 😈

As the holiday season approaches, I gotta know-

Where can we purchase your books? Are they still on sale?

Yes! 8D They both are! I mean, they're for sale currently, and they'll be going on sale very soon. At least the Kindle versions. I'm so glad to hear you're interested!

Here's links to both books!

A Fool's Endeavor:

You may notice, but I got a new cover done for A Fool's Endeavor! ^_^ I know it seems a little too late to update it, but I just wanted to do it because I wasn't super happy with the Amazon Cover Creator cover. Here's the new cover:

A Fool's Golden Cage:

Beloved sequel, not much more description is needed. XD Here's its cover for comparison.

Now I HAVE been working on the next sequel. the third book, A Lost Fool's Paradise. It was just slowed down once I began doing the whole Youtube thing- but it is going well! Too early to feel comfortable showing anything as it might be, at the least, another year off.

Though I can confirm that Princess Vivianne and Alchemist Coffcord get larger roles. ;)

Now, on Black Friday, November 24th, both books- A Fool's Endeavor and A Fool's Golden Cage- will be on a Countdown deal. An Amazon countdown deal is where they start out at .99 cents and over the next couple of days return to their original prices.

The deal will be going on between the 24th and 30th, BUT on the 24th both books will be a dollar each! 8D

...And yes, I might have spontaneously decided to do this because of the interest in the books. XD But I hope you get to read them! Jester Lure is my baby both figuratively and (kinda) literally, and I like showing him off to whoever's around. 🃏

More Shopstivus items:

Searched the Black Friday sales for Miniverse

and got very little, but there are some of the Mini Bratz listed and the Miniverse Make It Mini All You can Eat mega set.

which I would be interested in, but I already have it! My S.O. surprised me with it for my birthday earlier this month.

I was surprised to discover that the cute, colored backgrounds in the different segments are just bits of printed paperboard laid in there and not attached at all.

If you want them where they are, I suggest opening the whole thing very carefully and using some double sided tape

(I like this one)

to tape the panels in one by one. Mine all fell out and I am not sure I got them back in there where they were before.

There are lots of Mini Brands deals, like the advent calendar for $15.

and 2 for the price of 1 for a few of the balls (link is to the whole search)

There are more Shadow High and Rainbow High deals than I found yesterday, though I think they're just matching Target's current prices.

So many of my regular buys on Amazon that are “on a major sale” for Black Friday / CM have actually just been doubled in price and then they slap that 50% off sticker on there.

Some of my skincare stuff is ACTUALLY on sale but dang, some of these retailers are shady as hell. Like … I have never paid $40 for that???? Why are you saying you slashed your price from $40 to $20???
