But I’m already seeing the sales, discounts, and “MAKE THAT GIFT LIST” promotions for Christmas.

I KNOW.

Having a store that has toys for kids means I have to join in the retail game of “HOORAY IT’S CHRISTMAS SHOPPING TIME, EVEN THOUGH IT’S SEPTEMBER!”

I’m not happy about it either, but that doesn’t mean that I won’t start putting out the sales.

Lucky you!

One of my girls’ favorite activities is coloring. Right now, I have in stock a variety of great coloring and drawing pads from Melissa & Doug. It’s a great gift for your own kids or relative kids or birthday kids or yourself if you’re the coloring type.

To make the deal sweet, use coupon code SEPTEMBER20 for 20% off any order placed now through September 30th.

To make the deal even sweeter, share this discount with your blog readers, Twitter followers, and/or your Facebook friends, and I’ll send you a 25% off coupon to use through the end of September.

Leave a comment below letting me know where you shared this sale, and I’ll email your 25% off discount code directly to you.

Super sweet, eh?

Back in the olden days of our parent’s and grandparent’s youth, toys were either wooden or tin. Ever since the government thankfully removed all those harmful metals and verybadthings, most of the throwback toys in our kid’s generation are made of wood.

Wooden toys are durable, wood toys are safe, and wood is attractive. Melissa & Doug recognizes this and develops toys made of lightweight, safe wood with safe paints free of toxins.

Wooden toys are available and are inexpensive from Good for the Kids. As a Melissa & Doug authorized retailer, you can find a variety of wooden toys in stock, ready to ship to your kids.

Safety of the wooden toys is important to parents and children alike. The safety of Melissa & Doug’s toys is their number one policy as they sign their own names to every toy they manufacture.

Once you go wood, you never go back.
(Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m talking about kid’s toys here. sheesh)

Giveaway
We love giving away goodies, so we’re giving away a $50 gift certificate good for Melissa & Doug toys (and anything else you might want from our incredibly stocked store)! Leave one comment (per person) here by Saturday, June 21st, 11:59pm EST with the name of your favorite Melissa & Doug toy. Your comment must include the name of an item. If your comment is chosen as the winner, and a Melissa & Doug toy is not included in the comment, we’ll pick another winner. Sorry – them’s the rules. (BTW – I know them’s not a real word. A little attempt at nerdish grammar humor.) The winner(s) will be notified here on the blog, via email, and on Prizey.Winners.

If we receive more than 250 comments by Saturday, we’ll pick TWO winners for a $50 gift certificate! We love when you talk nicely about us (even to our face), so spread the word on blogs, websites, Twitter, Plurk, and every other way possible to increase your chances of winning. Let us know that you’ve spread the word about Good for the Kids or our giveaways, and you can enter more than once. Leave your second/third/eleventh comment, each with the site to which you submitted our giveaway or posted about (we’ll check it out to make sure it’s live), and you’ve got yourself another entry! You can use our handy-dandy banner <—— to promote the giveaway or your creativity. Whatever works.

The BEST part of our giveaway (and yes, it CAN get better) is if you make a purchase between now and the end of the giveaway (and why wouldn’t you?), we’ll refund your payment in the amount of the gift certificate! Triple Bonus Score!

UPDATE: We just got in a HUGE amount of new products. Check them out!
