Barnes & Noble.com has deeply discounted children’s books in their bargain book section (up to 85% off), plus the code P4U7L9E takes an additional 10% off. Shipping is free when you buy $25+, but starts $3.99 otherwise.
I don’t think it would be hard to get $25 worth of books and check a lot of birthday and Christmas gifts off your list. I sorted the discounted children’s books by popularity and pulled out a few really great deals, including:
Sloppy Joe will be $2.69 after sale and coupon (originally $16.99, now 84% off)
Thomas and Friends: May the Best Engine Win will be $2.69 after the additional discount (originally $12.95, now 79% off)
Toy Story Read-Along Storybook and CD will be $5.20 after the sale and coupon (originally $6.99, now 74% off)

Ebates has B and N at 6% cash back.
I had a bunch of items in my basket with the promo code Carrie gave. When I went through ebates, the promo wouldn’t work. I’ve had the problem with ebates before. Any suggestions to fix something I’m doing wrong???
I always forget about Ebates, thanks for the reminder! These will make great gifts for all of the birthday parties this summer.
Shipping is also always free if you are a member of the Barnes and Noble rewards program. There is an annual fee, but it works out to be worth it for our family, with the free shipping and the frequent coupons.
Karyn,
I think the reason the promo code didn’t work is that you have to create a membership. I tried checking out as a guest and it didn’t work, but then I created an account and the promo worked.
