I used to enjoy Christmas shopping in malls and department stores when I was younger, but with two boys to bring and the challenge of trying to hide whatever I’m buying from their inquisitive eyes, I’ve started to do as much of my shopping as possible online. It took me a little while to really embrace the online craze, but now that I have, I’m hooked. Having everything I need for Christmas come right to my front door is so much easier than braving crowds!
That’s why I immediately fell in love with O.co, also known as Overstock.com. This online superstore has all kinds of top brand name products for kids and adults at amazing prices. And best of all, shipping is free on your first order! I recently got the chance to pick out one of the products from Overstock.com to see for myself the variety and quality of the products the store offers and I couldn’t wait.
When I saw the LEGO Ninjago Kai Alarm Clock in the Overstock.com Gift Guide, I knew at once that I had to have it. Our entire family has a bit of a LEGO addiction and my oldest son is especially fond of LEGO Ninjago. He currently has an Elmo alarm clock in his room and at six years old, he was definitely ready for something a little more mature.
I was very impressed with how quickly the clock arrived; just slightly over a week after arranging the review, it was at my door. And I loved how Overstock.com made shopping so easy for Canadians too! With duties calculated at checkout and prices displayed in Canadian dollars, there was no chance of being surprised by hidden fees after making a purchase!
The clock itself is a genuine LEGO Ninjago clock and has all kinds of fun features. It is a handy and easy-to-use alarm clock with moveable arms and legs that will allow Zackary use the clock as a toy as well, something I’m sure he won’t be able to resist doing. My favourite feature had to be the way that Zackary could turn off the clock by pressing down on Kai’s head; I knew he would love being able to bop his Ninjago on the head every morning!
There are tons of other great gifts available at O.co and the company is currently offering a special promotion in which you can get selected gifts by Christmas at no extra cost! Just look for the icon under certain items to find gifts that are guaranteed to be under your tree Christmas Eve without paying for expedited shipping!
I can’t wait to see my son’s face when he unwraps his new clock and I loved being able to get it for him without having to head into a crowded store and battle other shoppers for the items I wanted. If you’ve had enough of holiday hassle, check out Overstock.com and get your shopping done in a flash just in time for Christmas cheer!

oops, nearly all purchases:
No rebates on Electronics, Clearance, Books and other media, Gifts and Flowers, Donations, Club Points, Gift Cards, Real Estate, Cars, Auctions, Gold Redemption
But Lego is included and that’s all that matters.

Thanks MrD! Always awesome to save extra when shopping online! 🙂 And you’re right, that is all that matters

Plus if you have a rewards credit card it’s another way to stretch the buck even further.
Before I make *any* online purchase, I always check to see if there is a cash back rebate, Airmiles/Aeroplan points reward, or coupon codes I can apply.
Even shopping at Lego.com can yield cash back with GCR, along with Lego’s own membership program where you earn points on purchases.

Kathleen says
That’s awesome, what boy wouldn’t want that alarm clock! My girls need one but don’t think they would want a ninja.
Kathryn says
Tee hee! There was actually one in a pink lego brick at the same site that I was tempted to get for myself! 😉
Jennifer Hunt says
I want to get Logan the Darth Vadar one so bad!.. you are going to have one excited little dude on your hands!
Kathryn says
Oh yes! I love that one; it was a tough call between that and the Ninjago one!
