The Bertie Bott’s jelly beans are fun because you never know what flavor you are getting. They range from yummy peach to a disgusting vomit. How fun would these be to give out on Halloween or to have in a bowl at your Halloween party?

In addition to the video below featuring the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour beans, we have an older video showing the BeanBoozled Beans, which are the same product but not branded with Harry Potter. These make great gag gifts!

The Jelly Belly Chocolate Dips are various flavors of jelly beans dipped in chocolate. Flavor choices right now are mint, coconut, orange, raspberry, strawberry, and very cherry. You can buy them in individual flavor bags or the combination gift box seen here:

Jelly Belly Chocolate Dips 5-Flavor Gift Box

The consistency of the dipped jelly bean is a little bit like a chocolate covered raisin or chocolate covered dry cherry only with a yummy flavored jelly bean on the inside rather than a dried out grape.

The Dark Chocolate Orange Slices are Sunkist naturally flavored candy orange slices (made with orange juice) and are also covered in dark chocolate. These aren’t the sugary cheap orange slices that you get at the gas station but rather the juicy ones that actually taste like an orange.

You can order both chocolate dipped products from the Jelly Belly website in different combinations and sizes. You’ll get the best prices when you buy in bulk. You can find Jelly Belly coupons and cash back at Sunshine Rewards.

Watch the video below to see my review of the Jelly Belly Chocolate Dips and Dark Chocolate Orange Slices. I shared with a few friends after I made the video and now they all want to order them!

As you can see from the video, Fairytale Brownies make a perfect gift for a number of different reasons. They are not only delicious but are packaged nicely and come individually wrapped. They come in different flavors (Chocolate Chip is a hit around here) and the brownies themselves even come in different sizes (Magic Morsels, Sprites, and regular size). You can order different combinations of the flavors and sizes.

What you don’t see in the video is that they come at a great price and in a variety of different prices for your gift-giving needs. You can find different types of boxes for different occasions, buy them in bulk, or even choose your own flavors. Custom gifts can be made with your company logo or for wedding favors or baby showers.

Check out Sunshine Rewards for our Fairytale Brownies coupons and cash back. You can get gifts starting as low as $15.95 and right now we even have a 15% off coupon. Watch the video below and see just how tasty we found them to be!

Oprah has mentioned before how much she loves the Centerville Chicken pies. Each pie has over a pound of free-range, cage-free chicken inside and serves 4-6. The total weight of the pie is almost three pounds. It even comes with extra gravy! It isn’t your usual “pot pie” with veggies and a lot of sauce inside. It is literally almost an entirely chicken-filled pie crust. Visitors on the Harry & David site give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

The original Smiley Cookies are round, but they do have shapes like stars and flowers year round in addition to special shapes for holidays (I think trees are on their way soon). You can customize the color of the background icing as well as the Smiley color. These would be perfect for any team or school or even just the favorite colors of a birthday boy or girl.

Smiley Cookies are hand-made and make a perfect gift for any occasion. I love that they come in a happy looking box! They run specials all the time and you can send a gift for as little as $12.99. Check out Sunshine Rewards for Smiley Cookie coupons and discounts plus cash back! And check out our video below to see what Jillian and Cassie think about them.

Halloween is only a couple of weeks away, and Halloween shopping is in full swing. Besides the obvious (costumes), people are scooping up Halloween decor and treats. Cindy and I review Halloween merchants and tell you where you can get some of the best deals and unique items (even places that are not known for their Halloween merchandise).

Show Notes:

• Cindy and I wing it this week by not planning out in advance what they are going to talk about. That itself is scary.
• You can spend some big money on spooky Halloween decorations. Look for coupons!
• The Grim Reaper from SpiritHalloween.com really scares Tricia, and you can see a video of it here. (Someone should buy Cindy the life-size Jason or the Crawling Girl to freak her out)
• Congrats to BuyCostumes.com on their Commission Junction University win! Be sure to check out their deals under $10.
• Some popular costumes this year that Tricia has been working on promoting are Sookie Stackhouse, the Smurfs, and Wizards of Waverly Place. Twilight is still hot.
• A fun place to get candy for an adult Halloween party is Old Time Candy because they have candy by decades.

I love a great cup of tea, but I have to admit, I’m a bit picky. Loose leaf tea is the only way to go for me, and at CaliforniaTeaHouse.com they have such a great variety and high quality of tea that you can’t go wrong. I drink several glasses of ice tea a day, and it’s nice knowing that I am not getting all the caffeine that is in pop and coffee. Tea also provides essential minerals, zinc and potassium that are needed daily.

If you’ve never tried loose leaf tea, now is the time to get some and try it. We have several money saving coupons on Sunshine Rewards right now too, plus free shipping and with your cash back, its a sweet summer deal.

Cookie Surprises allows you to choose a fun, painted cookie and then customize how it is boxed. It’s an inexpensive way to let someone know that you are thinking about them. In addition to all of the holidays that you usually send gifts, send a Cookie Surprise to someone as a thank-you, a get well, or a word of encouragement.

Below is a video with the Sunshine kids opening up the Cookie Surprise that they got in the mail. We had to do the video in one take because once they opened it, I couldn’t stop them from eating it! I snagged a little piece myself and it was tasty. After you check out the video, be sure to look for Cookie Surprises coupons and cash back at Sunshine Rewards!

January went by so quickly that this was our first podcast of the year. Just in time for February, we decided to review Valentine’s Day merchants. Cindy led most of the podcast because she has been knee-deep in planning the upcoming Sunshine Rewards Valentine’s Day promotion.

Show notes:

* Quick recap of Affiliate Summit and some of the benefits of attending this year.
* Flowers always work for Valentine’s Day and 1-800-Flowers has a lot of different options. Be sure to understand the difference between having your flowers delivered by FedEx and those delivered by local florists.
* Bath & Body Works and The Perfume Spot have good options for both men and women. I got my favorite new perfume (Pink Sugar) from The Perfume Spot. Bath & Body Works has a terrific new Godiva candle available only online.
* Crazy for Bargains is great for fun pajamas for women, men, and kids. Personally, I like the boxers for holidays. Romantic Gowns (new SR merchant!) actually has some great lingerie, including some cute pink and red sets that would be perfect for Valentine’s Day. (Here the mother/daughter podcast got a little bit awkward).
* Jewelry is traditional for Valentine’s Day and May Leigh has some nice options. Women seem to be wearing more jewelry these days, including multiple bracelets and necklaces at a time and mixing silver and gold. Things Remembered has both jewelry and other items available for personalization.
* You usually can’t go wrong with food (especially if the gift is for me). David’s Cookies makes homemade tasting cookies that can be ordered through the 10th. Ghirardelli is an impressive brand name with high quality chocolates.
* From the customer standpoint, these were all merchants that we personally like to shop through.

Lots of great Valentine’s Day gift ideas today. Hopefully a little something for everyone. And you can get cash back from Sunshine Rewards for shopping at all of them!

Crazy as it seems, Halloween is right around the corner. I heard somewhere (besides in the podcast) that decor sales for Halloween are second only to decor sales for Christmas. It’s not surprising when you see all of the cute stuff out there. It was hard to pick only three merchants to discuss today when we have a lot of favorites. Angie took over the “MC” position for me as I didn’t want to cough the whole time.

Show Notes:

* Tricia and Angie will be spending Halloween on a Disney Cruise. Group costumes are apparently in order.
* Cindy walked us through BuyCostumes.com their selection of both Halloween costumes and party supplies. Did you know that they have a $5 deal each day? Terrific bargains on costumes if you can catch them in the morning. Also be sure to look for coupons and free shipping when you can get it. (Get BuyCostumes.com coupons and cash back from Sunshine Rewards)
* Tricia drooled over The Popcorn Factory. Bad idea to diet and review that merchant because you’ll want to buy everything you see. They have a great selection of flavored popcorns as well as gift samplers. (Get The Popcorn Factory coupons and cash back from Sunshine Rewards)
* Angie introduced HalloweenMart and pointed out not only the plus sized costumes but also the extremely scary decorations. Once we started talking about the “adult” costume section, we needed to end the call. Our conversation continued afterward and suffice to say you can find some really unique costumes that your friends would get a kick out of.

It was hard to keep this podcast down to time because we could have talked all day about these three merchants. We’ve seen great feedback about all of them and enjoyed reviewing them. Click here to see the entire Sunshine Rewards Halloween shopping category.
