All that’s left of the David’s Cookies shipment we received last week is an empty tin. That’s because David’s Cookies never last more than a couple of days at my house. Everyone in the house has a favorite–from the peanut butter to the chocolate chip to the oatmeal raisin. We each eat our favorites first but then no one ever turns their noses up at the others, either!

I’m incredibly excited to be bringing the Sunshine Rewards members not just a David’s Cookies review but also an exclusive David’s Cookies coupon. They often run 15% off codes, but for a limited time we have a 10% off code PLUS free shipping. For those of you who hate wasting money on shipping, this deal is as good as it gets. If you are placing a really big order and would rather have the extra percentage off, we have the 15% off code as well. Plus, don’t forget about your Sunshine Rewards cash back.

David’s Cookies has been a member favorite at Sunshine Rewards for many years. Order for yourself or send as a gift and you will see why!

philosophy Review and Giveaway

Everyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love philosophy products. If you look under my bathroom sink, you will see everything from “hope in a jar” to the “microdelivery peel’ to 10 different varieties of the “shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath.” I think that I have tried just about everything that the make and have not been disappointed in any of it. In addition to their products, I love that there are always great philosophy coupons and promotions.

Sunshine Rewards has been lucky enough to score both some special deals and some products for our members to try. As hard as it is for me to part with them myself, I want my members to know what I know about philosophy. In the video below you will see some great products that philosophy just sent us. Over the next couple of weeks we will be giving some of them away as part of our Daily Deals. Be sure that you are signed up for our Daily DealMail newsletter so that you do not miss out.

What are your favorite philosophy products? Are there any that you have been wanting to try? Have you left a philosophy review on Sunshine Rewards?

Daily Deals are all the rage in marketing these days and it can be difficult to make sure that you don’t miss them. Consumers are starting to look for these deals on a regular basis to figure out how to make the most of them. Because of our research for our new Sunshine Rewards Daily Deal emails, we have learned a lot about them in the last month and what to share what we have learned.

• Some of the merchants who do a great job with daily deals include: BuySpys, Orange Onions, and Tanga. Others that focus on daily deals but do not always send them out to their affiliates like 1SaleADay and VMInnovations are worth visiting daily.
• Common niches for daily deals are magazines, shoes, and electronics.
• Group buying sites like Groupon, Saveology, Living Social, Mamasource, and Plum District are also worth it for both affiliates and consumers to check every day.
• Amazon features free Kindle books each day as well as free and discounted MP3s.
• Daily deals have to be weighed against the cost of shipping.
• Consumers should focus on bookmarking a couple of good daily deals sites to visit each day, watching the Facebook streams of brands that they love, and signing up for newsletters for merchants that they frequently buy from.

Be sure that you sign up for our new Daily Deal email list (separate from our regular mailing list) if you want to be sure to get the best deals delivered right to your inbox.

Every once in a while when I am buying Disney Gift Cards, I get a little overexcited and buy too many. Usually I just save them for the next month. Today I decided that I would give away the extra $25 card I ended up with to one lucky Disney fan! All you need to do is pin this picture/image on Pinterest with the phrase “I want to win this Disney Gift Card from Sunshine Rewards!” Then include your member number so that if you win, we know who to give it to. If you aren’t a member yet, sign up quickly so that you have a number! Here’s the image and official rules are beneath it. If we have a good contest, I will double the value next time!

Rules: Must be age 18+ or over to enter and a U.S. Resident. Entries end March 7, 2012, at midnight Eastern. We will randomly select from one “pin” to give away the prize. Void where prohibited by law. Winner will be notified via e-mail and have 24 hours to respond or a new winner will be selected.
