Pottery Barn has the Girls’ Fairfax Backpacks in Blue Small for $12.99.  This size is slightly larger than their Preschool size backpack and probably perfect for preschool or early elementary.  It has lots of fun pockets for all their trinkets!

They also have the matching lunchbox on sale for $9.99, so grab both while they’re available and you’re set for next year!

Did I mention you’ll get both of these shipped free too?!

They have many others styles on sale too, including some for boys.  Hurry over to Pottery Barn to have a look.

Thanks, The Coupon Scoop

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations, Jamie!


The Big Toy Book  is a web site with all kinds of toys, apparel, etc. BUT it also has a members-only shopping community where you can get discounts of up to 70% off toys, games and more for kids!  Make sure to register for the members-only section to get these huge savings!  Then, when you go back to the site, make sure you scroll down to the bottom to log in and access the members-only private sale community.  Make sure to visit their Blog also for all kinds of tips and ideas.

Perfect for holiday and gift shopping, their limited-time sales feature huge savings on best-loved and up-and-coming toys and brands for kids! I have seen Disney, KidKraft, Seasame Street, and more!  So far this week, they’ve had Hello Kitty, Cars, Littlest Pet Shop and more!  Featured more toward the younger crowd with some items toward an older generation, the sales are irresistible!  They have various categories like Apparel/Gear, Toys & Games, Electronics, By Age, etc. to make it easier to find what you want.

They also offer $10 to your account for each friend you refer who becomes a member and buys!  How great is that!  AND if you like them on Facebook, make sure to visit each Friday for a ‘password’ that could get you freebies and exclusive savings just for that day.

One item that The Big Toy Book let me try out was their product geared toward that older group of kids – a helicopter. My husband is like a big kid when it comes to toys and the Interceptor R/C Indoor/Outdoor Flight Helicopter by Interactive Toy Concepts is no exception!  This remote control helicopter says it’s age-appropriate for 12 years + and I would have to agree because it is a little difficult to drive.  While it is an indoor/outdoor device, I would recommend using it outdoors as learning out to drive it is a bit difficult in the beginning. With two thumbs requiring the work, you don’t want to test drive it near your precious lamp. Note: You can get this on The Big Toy Book right now.

We liked that it charges via a USB cable directly into a USB port instead of using batteries, so you can plug it into your computer to charge!  A remote control helicopter like this would burn through batteries!  It takes about 60 minutes to charge for the first time.  There are two flying modes: Normal and Pro.  We used normal (because we don’t consider ourselves pros!) and it flew very smooth and easy, besides the driving difficulties I mentioned above.

All in all, this helicopter is tons of fun no matter your age!

Right now you can get your 70% discounted items with a nice little coupon code. Head to Big Toy Book and sign up now. Now you can get $10/$50 with promo code HolidayBash. Note this code is $10/$50 before tax and can only be used on the private sale store.

Frugal Coupon Living is giving a Helicopter and a $50 Gift Card to TheBigToyBook.com to one reader!
