Some Chinese stores have launched their St. Patrick’s Day 2013 deals as a way to cater for the convention observed by their global customers. Usually they either offer discounted products in green or distribute coupon codes for buyers to redeem on a selection of green stuff. This year, Dinodirect.com (read the detailed review) choose to offer a coupon code to reduce the price.

From March 12 to March 18, shoppers at Dinodirect.com can use the 2013 St. Patrick’s Day coupon code “ST” to get $5 off instantly at checkout when their order value reaches $40. Note that the coupon code can only be redeemed on products listed on the St. Patrick’s Day promotional page.

Not surprisingly, all the St. Patrick’s Day deals are colored in green, covering categories like women’s clothing, men’s clothing, home décor & accents or lucky clovers. If you love to wear something green or decorate your home with a green flavor on the St. Patrick’s Day, you might be interested in the products they offer. Here are some lovely green St. Patrick’s Day items I personally fall in love with:

Ruffle Long Sleeves Sweet Green Dress for Women, at $14.99 before discount

Floral Printed Men’s Board Pants (I am considering buying this style for my husband), at $17.39 before discount

April Fool’s Day 2013 is just around the corner. How are you going to fool people around you this year? If you are still looking for top April Fool’s Day ideas for inspiration, the April Fool’s Day deals available at some online stores may help you out.

As I always recommend, when you are hunting for a great holiday idea, you can refer to the item catalogs hosted by online shopping sites, especially their special collection of deals targeting the holiday. You don’t have to necessarily buy the stuff from the sites if the prices do not meet your budget. You can simply use them as a tool to get yourself inspired. And then, you can either DIY it by yourself or purchase it from other sites which offer a better price. However, if you decide to shop with a Chinese site, make sure to confirm on the delivery time. Otherwise the item you order may not arrive in time for the Fool’s Day.

So far I’ve found two Chinese sites offering April Fool’s Day 2013 specials. In particular, as I mentioned in the old post “2013 Women’s Day Deals from Priceangels.com”, Priceangels.com launched their April Fool’s Day very early– the site is definitely a early-bird for all kinds of holiday promotions. They offer 10% off a range of April Fool’s Day supplies, including electric shock handshake toys, electric shock ballpoint pens, electric shock lighters, shocking gun toys, electric shock wireless mouse, electrostatic dummy digital cameras, poo-poo farting whoopee cushions, realistic poo-poo shits, nipple balls and much more. Just take a look at some of the product images below.

Have you got inspired? Honestly, some of the on-sale April Fool’s Day products at Priceangels.com make me feel really sick. But that’s probably why they are so popular. By the way, to get 10% off the items listed on the promotional page, you need to enter the coupon code “APR10OFF” at checkout.

If you can’t find what you like from Priceangels’ April Fool’s Day 2013 deals because of the limited range of products, then Aliexpress’ April Fool’s Day collection won’t get you down. The wholesale trading site is best known for carrying the widest variety of products in each field. As for April Fool’s Day supplies, they are absolutely a one-stop shop. Currently, their April Fool’s Day sale is on the go, with a vast array of toys or pranks inspired by the wild world to choose from. All are offered at discounted prices. As a tradition, Aliexpress.com invite the best suppliers at their site to launch a holiday promotion and requires them to offer a discount on each product selected for the sale.

Easter Sunday 2013 falls on March 31 in the United States this year. As a tradition, while children will be hunting the whole house or apartment for baskets of Easter eggs or candy left by Easter Bunny, adults start to prepare the special Easter gifts earlier than the holiday comes. You know, it takes time to think about a great Easter idea so that the kids won’t be bored. Also, parents know well that stores tend to use the widely observed event to promote products with deep discounts and smart shoppers are always ready to prowl the Internet or local retailers for best Easter deals.

Chinese international shopping sites, in particular, love to launch huge promotions to “celebrate the Easter” as they claim. The Chinese people don’t observe the holiday, which means nothing to them so the merchants are not really celebrating the day. They are using the event to boost revenues, to enlarge customer base and to make profits, obviously. Anyway, you can forget about their purposes as what you should really care about is: how can I get the Easter supplies I want at the least cost?

My advice: instead of visiting the local stores to check out if the best valued deals have come out yet, just stick to the popular China-based online shops whose Easter 2013 sales are on-going. Trust me, that way you can save huge. If you are not convinced, let me share you with one secrete: most of the small local stores source their products from Chinese suppliers. So why not shop with Chinese sellers directly cutting middle-men as many as possible? Here are the latest Easter 2013 specials hosted by a number of well-known Chinese online wholesalers or retailers:

Dinodirect.com (read review of the site): Easter Sale on Lovely Bunny, Funny Chicken, Easter Egg, Lily and Décor & Party

 

Ahappydeal.com (read review of the site): Great Easter Savings on A Variety of Novel Items

While several Chinese sites are still keeping their Valentine’s Day 2013 banners on their homepages (which I personally believe are very unprofessional as the day of romance has gone for over two weeks), some early-bird online stores based in China have already posted banners about 2013 Women’s Day sales. Priceangels.com (read the detailed review of the site here) is the earliest one based on my observance. I noticed that they had launched the promotional page for Women’s Day before Feb. 9, the eve of 2013 Chinese New Year. Now the banner is still there and I also found that they had started 2013 April Fools’ Day promotion. Considering international shipping time and the fact that wholesale business is the biggest revenue earner of the site, it is nothing surprising that they always launch a holiday-based promotion so early.

As for their Women’s Day deals, I spent some time viewing one by one, trying to find some useful information that can help my readers shop smart with the Chinese site. The scale of discounts is definite one of the most concerned point for me. Based on my findings, although they claim that they are offering up to 35% off on products select for the promotion, in practice they are being completely honest. They started the sale so early that they might change the products for the page. Advertisers tend to overstate the benefits their customers can get but they seem to be quite trusthworthy in this respect.

To better explore whether their Women’s Day specials are worth getting in terms of pricing, I endeavored to compare the after-discount prices on some products to the same or similar ones for sale at other Chinese sites which also offer worldwide free shipping.

One of the reasons why I am often impressed by Dinodirect.com (see the detailed review of the shopping site here) is that they offer specials or coupon codes so regularly and extensively. If you shop there frequently, you should really take advantage of the deals so that you can save much money. Note that they may have different coupon codes for different order value thresholds during the same time frame. You may need to select the one that can help you save most. You know, you are generally not allowed to combined coupon codes for a single order. Currently, the best-valued coupon code available at the site is their 2013 Women’s Day discount code. Please read details below:

Discount Description: 2013 Women’s Day Sale – Extra 10% OFF Orders of $38 or More
End Date: Mar. 7, 2013

The Women’s Day promotion covers a wide range of products that are wonderful choices for gifting ladies, including jewelry & watches, apparel & accessories, cosmetics, home appliance and more. If competitive pricing is a typical attraction of Dinodiret.com, deep discounts should be another great benefit you can get from the site. As long as your order reaches $38, you can have the product you want shipped to your doorstep by paying 10% less. Plus, the order will be shipped for free.

Although they launched the exclusive page for Women’s Day sales, the coupon code can be used on any products for women sitewide in practice. That is, you don’t have to redeem it on the products listed on the promotional page. The selection of Women’s Day specials is just for your reference only and based on my experience, you can take it as a good guide to shopping amazing Women’s Day gifts, especially if you are now scratching about Women’s Day gift ideas.

I browsed their Women’s Day promotional selection and find are some hot-selling branded products with a better rating based on real customer reviews:

RULER™ Stylish Solid-Colored PU Leather Women’s Shoulder Bag

 

Sinvigo® 7-inch Android 4.0 Pink Pretty Mali-400MP 5-Point Capacitive HD-3D Games Wifi Tablet PC
