5 Ways To Score The Best Online Deals This Black Friday

By

On November 15, 2018

In Lifestyle

Everyone loves a good Black Friday sale. That’s why we’re giving you some tips so you can get the best deals of the season. Flex your shopping muscles and read on!

1. Know what you’re going to buy.

It’s easy to fall into the panic buying trap when everything’s on sale. Avoid this by making a shopping list of the things you’d like to purchase. If you’re shopping online, fill up your shopping carts and wishlists a few days before Black Friday. This way, you’ll just have to hit “Checkout!”

2. Set your alarms.

Some online stores hold major flash sales that only last for a few hours. Score big in these sales by setting your alarm a few minutes before the promo begins so you won’t miss it!

3. Start shopping early.

Look out for stores that start their Black Friday sales before the actual day. Case in point: Nixplay’s FlashBlack Friday Sale, which starts on November 16! Get up to 25% off all Nixplay Seed Frames, only until November 25!

4. Browse around.

Don’t limit yourself to just one or two stores. Trawl the web to see if the item you’re eyeing is also available at other websites at a cheaper price, and buy it there.

5. Know the online store’s shipping and return policies.

Don’t forget to read the fine print! Some stores, like the Nixplay online shop, offer free shipping for a minimum purchase, letting you save a few precious dollars. You should also check if it’s possible to return an item you purchased during Black Friday as some retailers don’t allow refunds or exchanges for products on sale.

4 Small Things You Can Do To Honor Army Veterans

By

On November 11, 2018

In Customer Testimonials, Holidays

This Veteran’s Day, it’s important to show our soldiers our support and appreciation, especially considering all the sacrifices they have made for our nation. Nixplay has partnered with MilitaryBridge, the premier online resource connecting military families with local businesses, to give military families 30 percent off a Nixplay Seed 10 Inch Frame until November 30 by using the promo code MB-VETERAN at checkout. We’re also raffling off three Nixplay Frames to deserving military families to honor their service.

Now, what can YOU do to help honor our loyal army veterans? Read on to learn some small acts of service that can go a long way.

Volunteer at a VA hospital

There are VA hospitals all over the U.S. that cater to the needs of military veterans who have served our country bravely. This is one of the best ways you can show your support to your local veterans. In the U.S., there are over 75,000 volunteers at VA hospitals across the country, contributing a total of 12 million volunteer hours. This saves VA hospitals more than $232 million every year.

Donate or send gifts to the VA

If you’re a bit pushed for time, considering donating cash or gifts to the VA instead. Money always helps to keep veterans’ lives running smoothly, especially if they were significantly injured in battle. The VA receives over $77 million in donations and gifts every year, so why not join in and let our veterans know how much you appreciate them?

Send care packages to deployed military personnel

Perhaps you know a veteran who has recently been deployed for duty once again. If so, official bodies such as military.com can provide you with many ideas of packages to send to someone who is deployed. Of course, there are certain limits as to what you can send, but food enhancers such as relish, ketchup, and spices are common, in addition to home comforts such as scrapbooks, mementos, or songs. If you wanted to get really creative, you could even send a Nixplay Frame featuring pictures of their friends and family back home.

Pay your respects

It doesn’t matter if you know people in them or not, the United States National Cemetery System is open to all visitors. All Americans can pay their respects to their fallen brothers and sisters on Veteran’s Day by visiting their graves and reading their names. Reading each fallen veteran’s personal name and standing atop their resting place helps to humanize these men and women–it makes them more than just a number, a statistic, or a general group of people.

 What’s The Best Thing About Being Single?

By

On November 8, 2018

In Holidays

Who says being single is only about pining for a significant other? You don’t need anyone to complete your life—just ask these fine folks:

“What I love about being single is that I can spend more money on things I love, on my own terms! Dining out and buying gifts for each other can really dent your wallet, and being single lets me invest my hard-earned cash on the things I really want, like concert tickets to see my favorite band.” – Bea, 23

“I’m currently in med school, and I barely have enough time to sleep, much less to date around. I think I’ll only stand a chance if I go out with someone who’s in the same field and who understands the struggle. But I don’t mind—at least I’m 100 percent focused on my studies. My future girlfriend can wait!” – Carlos, 25

“One of the best things I did when I was still single was to go on a seven-week solo backpacking trip across six countries. It forced me to get out of my shell and made me realize that I’m actually made of sterner stuff than I previously thought. Sure, traveling with a significant other is fun, but I think it’ll be impossible to replicate the exhilarating feeling of going on an adventure alone.” – Katy, 27

“Being single means having the absolute freedom to do the things you enjoy. I love traveling, and I like that I can go anywhere on the spur of the moment without worrying about a significant other waiting back home.” – Gerome, 32

“For me, being single is the best time to work on improving and loving yourself. Think of you and your significant other as a cube divided into two triangles—you complete each other, but you should also  be able to stand alone.” – Gina, 28

“I like not having to deal with the drama that crops up in every relationship. No secrets, no quarrels, no overly clingy partners, no fits of irrational jealousy. Bliss.” – Philip, 30

5 Great Ways To Celebrate Single’s Day (No Matter Your Relationship Status)

By

On November 5, 2018

In Holidays

Single’s Day—11/11—is coming up, and you don’t have to be a solo flyer to celebrate this event. Here’s how you can commemorate the holiday, regardless of your relationship status.

1. Go on (or set up) a blind date.

To our single readers out there: If you’re still undecided about going on that blind date your pals have been offering to set you up on, we’re here to tell you to go for it. Don’t set your expectations too high, focus on having a great time, and you might just end up pleasantly surprised. And if you’re happily coupled up, use this opportunity to bring together two friends who you think would be perfect for each other. Who knows, your matchmaking skills might be on point!

2. Dine alone.

The mere thought of dining alone can make a lot of people uneasy. If you can relate, well, it’s high time you quash your fears! Get a table for one at your favorite restaurant, savor every bite of your meal, and use your me-time to observe your surroundings or do some light reading.

3. Treat yourself!

Celebrate Single’s Day in the best way possible: By treating yourself! It doesn’t have to be a major splurge—whether it’s a cupcake from your favorite bakery or the pair of sneakers you’ve been eyeing for a long time, the important thing is that your purchase brings you joy.

Take advantage of Nixplay’s Single’s Day Offer and get up to 35 percent off a new Nixplay Frame so you can display your happiest memories, only until November 15! #ILoveMe

4. Live by the rule of 1.

The Chinese celebrate Single’s Day by only using things that have the number 1 or are shaped like the number 1. If you’re part Chinese, you can join the fun by eating deep-fried dough sticks and exchanging stick-shaped presents like toothpicks or pencils.

5. Have a spa day.

Single’s Day is the best day to treat yourself to some quality me-time at the spa. You don’t need anyone with you when you’re getting a massage, after all! While you’re at it, why not get a haircut or a manicure as well?
