My mom's a teacher. :happy: </p> <p>If anyone knows a teacher who could accept the shipment, you can order paperback books super cheap here: <a href="http://shop.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreView?storeId=10751&#038;catalogId=10051&#038;langId=-1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreView?storeId=10751&#038;catalogId=10051&#038;langId=-1</a></p> <p>If you don't know a teacher, you can still get some really reasonably priced paperbacks here (currently 20% off with Columbus Day sale code SS20CDS): <a href="http://store.scholastic.com/" rel="nofollow">http://store.scholastic.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898327 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:51:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1898327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I'll have to check it out. </p> <p>J's daycare is doing scholastic book orders right now and I had no idea they were so well priced. They will bundle books together, like 6 llama llama books for about $18. Several books are under $5, and for each book we buy, his school gets books too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898323 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:44:02 +0000 loveisstrange 1898323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: My local Goodwill has had LOTS of Christmas books. I just got her Twas The Night Before Christmas for .50. :)</p> <p>I love this idea! I might have to hunt down some books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898315 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:38:27 +0000 photojane 1898315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: My thrift shops never have any good books! They're always weird books that no one has ever heard of. :silly: That's why I was excited to find this site! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898311 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 12:28:41 +0000 bpcmarj 1898311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really love this and those are great prices!! I am going to check my local thrift shops, too. I remember having lots of special Christmas books that we only got at Christmas time, so I would like to start a collection for P. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898234 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 10:00:07 +0000 photojane 1898234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sent the emails to everyone who wall'd me :) </p> <p>@regberadaisy: I'm going to wrap them, but you don't have to! I plan on wrapping all of the books, and putting them in a basket beneath the tree. Each book will have a number 1-24. Every morning we'll find the book that corresponds with the day, and she'll open it. I plan on wrapping the same books every year for the advent, maybe swapping out some of the "baby"/board books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898196 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 08:23:14 +0000 pinkb 1898196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to walk you for the code if that's ok :) thank you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898192 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 08:06:35 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1898192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ill wall you if that's ok too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898171 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 06:14:16 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1898171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This website is great!

So how does the Christmas book advent work? They are gifted a book each day?<br /> We do story time as part of night time routine so it might be fun for her to open a book each night. But I also don't want her to think she will be getting a gift every day?! </p> <p>Would love the coupon as well? When's the expiration? Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-looking-for-christmas-books#post-1898167 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 05:49:18 +0000 Kimberlybee 1898167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: What a cool idea to do for Christmas!

I stumbled upon it tonight, and ended up buying 8 hardcover books for $20 shipped! </p> <p>All of the books I looked at ranged in price from $2.99-$3.49, and a lot of the books have a "50 cents off" label making them $2.49-$2.99. The shipping is free &amp; there's no sales tax! I also found a promo code for an additional 10% off too: NEWBUY. After I placed my order they gave me a 15% off code to share with friends, but it makes me email it from their website--if you decide to order, I'd be happy to email it to you if you want to wall me your email address. </p> <p>7 weeks until December 1st, and Sadie's Christmas advent is officially complete! Here's what I got:</p> <p>[attach=1879/14/ndbb68.219x547.Screen-shot-2014-10-11-at-11.23.13-PM.png] </p>
