Serve is a new payment service from American Express.  It works something like paypal.  You can connect your Serve account to your bank account or credit card to pay people instead of using cash.

I first discovered Serve on twitter @Serve where they have #FundMyFriday.  Answer a question they tweet on #FundMyFriday and you have the chance to win $25 deposited into your Serve account.  Also on their Facebook page they have a sweepstakes called “Money Movers”.  Play the easy trivia game.  If you get the answer write you get $10 in your Serve account.  You can play the Money Movers game daily.

You have to have a Serve account to get the money credited though. It’s free to sign up.

You can either transfer the money to your bank or credit or you can activate a Serve card for free. They’ll send you a Serve card in the mail and it can be used anywhere American Express is accepted.

I am a member of lots of different daily deal sites. I think sometimes they offer unbelievable deals that I was thinking of getting anyway. I’ve taken advantage of offers like $6 for a $10 gc to Staples, $20 for $60 worth of clothes of eModa.com, Urban Decay cosmetics (as my readers know is my absolute fave but won’t buy it unless I get a good deal because it’s normally expensive), and lots of other items.

Daily deal sites offer deals on everything from gift cards, services, dining, grocery items, and more. With so many daily deal sites out there though, it can be easy to miss that deal that everyone is talking about. Or maybe the deal you would have definitely taken advantage of, had you known about it.

Not all the deals every day are the “you better get over there fast and grab this” deal.  But there usually are a few  each day that would be a great buy for someone who needed it.  Don’t forget that before you know it, holiday shopping will be upon us.  Start buying your gifts now while there’s still plenty of time for shipping and budgeting.   I just bought a deal for my boys on TheClymb.  They had Skull Candy zip up hoodies for $19.99 (org price $60). I just know my boys will love them.  I’m putting them away for Christmas.  A really nice quality piece of clothing that my boys will think is really cool and other think I spent a fortune when I really didn’t.

Anywho, here are some great deals I found today (note this isn’t all of them just the highlights):

1.  PlumDistrict has a deal today $30 for $60 of products from EcoMom.com I know most of us bloggers are familiar with EcoMom.  I personally love to by the Plum Organics fruit mish mash pouches for my toddler and the other healthy snacks.  But they have lots of organic and eco-friendly products from clothes, beauty products, cleaning supplies, toys, house wares, and lots more.

2.  NoMoreRack has a set of 5 Miss Fifi T-shirt push up bras for $23.  That’s 5 bras, for $23 and only $2 shipping.

3.  Zulily has boys Airwalk winter coats with matching earmuffs for only $26.99-$28.99 (org. price $70).  They range in size from toddler to pre-teen sizes.

4.  DealPulp has a deal for Pixi Cosmetics pay $15 for $30 worth of Pixi products.  Plus, they started a new instant code format (before you used to have to wait a day or two until they emailed you your voucher).  In honor of the new instant codes they have a $3 off coupon.  Use code: INSTANT at checkout for an additional $3 off so really $12 for $30 in Pixi Cosmetics.

6.  SniqueAway has deals on 4 and 5 star hotels and resorts.  This ones a little harder to pick just one deal since it would really vary on the person where you are and what you’re interested in.  That being said some of the deals available are:
—The Virginia Hotel in Cape May, NJ for $85 to $245 a night for a king or queen bed originally $119 to $349/ night.  You can read about all the lovely amenities on the site for each listing.
—Jupiter Beach resort and spa in Jupiter, FL. $195-$235 a night for a oceanview superior suite. org $309 to $375 per night.

lots more but you get the idea.  There are deals for the Bahamas, Barbados, Costa Rica, and Mexico too.

 There’s more sites I belong to but these are the best deals I saw today.  Just a heads up, Hautelook is supposed to have Urban Decay on again at some point.  If you love Urban Decay cosmetics like me, you don’t wanna miss it.  It’s always highly anticipated.  You can bet I’ll let you know about it as soon as I know about it.

Aerobie makes quality toys that are made right here in the USA.  If you recall the fun my family and I had with the Aerobie Sprint flying ring, the Aerobie Skylighter flying disc lives up to the Aerobie line.

The Aerobie Skylighter lighted flying disc is an exciting outdoor to keep your kids active outside even when the days are shorter.  The Aerobie Skylighter is meant to be played with day or night.  During the day you can see the bright and colorful patented rim.  The rim also ensures a soft catch, no hurting your hands if your partner whips it at you or it’s a little chilly out.  It has a cool holographic design in the center of the 12 inch diameter disc.

How does all this help at night?  Well there’s a small switch in the middle of the disk that lights your Skylighter up bright with LED lights with the help of the translucent center.  I tried to catch my boys playing with it in the dark without the flash.  The whole family started throwing it around.  The neighbors across the alley gathered in their driveway and were watching us throw it around.  We asked them to join us but they were enjoying watching us.

Do you see the small green glow in the middle?  That’s it.  My boys said it kind of looked like a UFO.  All of us went in the back yard as a family and threw the disc around for a while.  It’s a very sturdy disc.  Easy to handle too.  The battery is long lasting and replaceable.

The Aerobie Skylighter comes in several color choices.  At only $15 for the durable Skylighter, you and your family will have lots of fun outside even when it starts to get dark sooner.  Aerobie products can be found in Sport Authority, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and many other sporting good stores.  I’ve personally seen them at my local Dunham’s Sporting goods as well.  You can check the “Where to Buy” tab for even more stores that sell Aerobie products in both US and Internationally.

Aerobie has wonderful customer service as well.
