12 Days of Christmas Deals – Day 2

Gifts from Red Envelope!

For Day 2 in the Diva on a Dollar's 12 Days of Christmas Deals, we are going to look at Red Envelope. Red Envelope is great when you're sending a gift to someone since their gifts come in an elegant red box and white ribbon. 

Plaid Business Card Case - $5.99

Who could you get this for? A conservative entrepreneur or business person. The dark color and plaid lining make this one for someone with a serious demeanor. The monogram option adds a great touch! 

Plaid Travel Valet - $11.99

Who could you get this for? A man in your life you travels frequently for business or pleasure. The compartments are great for watches, cufflinks, and rings. 

Baby Elephant Ring Holder - $29.95

Who could you get this for? This is the perfect pick for a bride-to-be. Since many brides are planning their weddings now, so this could be a great gift to give! This is also a good one for any Deltas you may know!

Red Envelope Folding?

I am upset. Many of you loyal readers know that I have featured Red Envelope many times over the years. Which is why I was so disappointed to hear that financial troubles may cause Red Envelope to close any day now. Check out this article about it.

I have bought several gifts from there and have received some from them as well. Their items are unique and the red box they send things in is so classy. The Red Envelope site is still up and running as of now, but word has it that there have been many layoffs and it could be coming down soon. So order your gifts now (that is, if you're willing to take the risk)!

So tell me, how would you feel if Red Envelope tanked?

Up to 70% Off at Red Envelope

Red Envelope is featuring a bunch of items for up to 70% off. One of my faves on the list are these chrome candlesticks that are 58% off for $9.99. Each candlestick holds two candles. I love how they're both modern and elegant at the same time. Happy shopping!

Relax with soothing eye pillow

Need to relax? This Soothing Eye Pillow from Red Envelope may be the perfect solution. Packed with lavender, organic flaxseed and chamomile petals, this should calm you down from a long, stressful day. And since it's only $15.99 (was $32), at least you won't be stressing about the price.

Though I'm not sure if this is one you can heat up in the microwave (I've seen those too), it can be put in the freezer if you need to "chill out."

Cool Card Cases

Do you have a cool case to hold your business cards? If not, check one of these out! Normally $40, these card cases are a steal at just $9.99 plus shipping.

Tip: Holiday Shopping for Dad in June!

I know it is hard to think about Christmas or Hanukkah in the summer months, but it could save you a lot of $$$! Fathers Day has passed and all of the gifts that were left unsold are now on sale for a fraction of original prices! Why not buy the special men in your life something now and tuck it away in your closet until December? These deals are also great if birthdays for your brother, father, or husband have not passed yet this year! And they're all from Red Envelope.

Excursion Tie Case - Was $60, now $19.99!

Does that man in your life travel often? This is a great way to protect his ties from getting wrinkled while he is on the road!

Excursion Shoe Shine Kit - Was $68-73, now $14.99 - 19.99!

Another great gift for a male traveler. This shoe shine kit comes in black and brown and can be engraved as well (without engraving is $14.99, with engraving is $19.99).

Double-Walled Beer Glasses - Was $78, now $39.99

These beer glasses are insulated to keep cold drinks very cold and prevent hot drinks from burning your hands. They were even featured on The Today Show! They come in a set of six.

English Shaving Set - Was $225, now $59.99!

This shaving kit was crafted in Sheffield, England and includes a razor (uses Gillette® Mach3 blades), brush and stand. Great gift idea!

This outdoor adventure set is equipped with a two-band alarm clock radio with earbuds, a stainless steel multi-tool with pliers, knife, and bottle opener, high-powered mini binoculars, adjustable beam LCD flashlight and an ABS compass. It even has a detachable shoulder strap.
