Winter at Home
The throw blanket is on the couch and hot chocolate has replaced lemonade as your family’s new beverage of choice. Just because cold weather is lurking, doesn’t mean that family fun is out of season. Here are three great ways to spend some together time this month:
Deck the Home
If you’d rather watch some good cinema at home than in a smelly movie theater with sticky floors, customize your living room to capture the theater experience. Select a row of movie chairs that will work within your space, in a variety of sizes and colors, and get them at HomeTheatreSeatingOnline.com with free shipping. Invest in a great big screen TV that will deliver a sharp picture, and a kicking sound system with deluxe speakers, both of which you can find at ElectronicsExpo.com for up to 35% off.
Loving Competition
Family game night is the perfect way to spend a chilly Sunday afternoon, and it gives your kids a chance to engage in friendly competition. Classics like Scrabble and Pictionary are family favorites, and really help showcase some hidden talents. Kmart.com, where you can find both games, is currently offering two great deals -- 5% off your toy and game purchases until November 26th, and $5 off your $50 purchase through December 31st. If you’ve got more advanced game players in your home, visit MyGofer.com and save up to 50% off Chess or Backgammon. At Buy.com you can get your hands on Make Your Own Opoly (with free shipping thrown in), which allows you to set the rules.
Warming the Bellies
Fill your home with the aroma of comfort foods cooked low and slow. Visit HayNeedle.com to search for a pressure cooker that looks worthy enough to make your husband’s famous braised short ribs, and buy it on sale with free shipping added. If soup is more up your family’s alley, prepare homemade butternut squash soup in your new touchscreen Crock Pot that you scored at Crock-Pot.com with a bonus cookbook and free shipping included. Want to know how to win over even your pickiest eater? Browse and buy a bread machine from Macys.com, which is offering up to 20% off select housewares, and then make a fresh loaf of sourdough bread, baked with love and served to your little one with a dollop of butter. Enjoy all of the memories that you and your family make during this magical time of year.
