Good news for homewares aficionados this morning - Spotlight is taking 20% off selected manchester until this Sunday.

In fact, all of Spotlight’s quilt covers, plain dyed towels, tablecloths, photo frames, pillows, plain dyed sheets, quilts, underlays, decorator cushions and throws are subject to the discount. You must be a Spotlight VIP to claim the 20% discount, but it’s easy enough (and free) to sign up at the website.

I recently discovered Australian online homewares store Whiteport and it’s quickly becoming one of my favourites.

It has some gorgeous products for the bathroom, bedroom, dining room and kitchen - and at some pretty reasonable prices.

Plus, we have an exclusive Lasoo discount code to get 20% off storewide at Whiteport. Use the code BLOG at the checkout to claim your discount (it applies storewide, including sale items). The code is only valid until this Friday so make the most of it while you can!

My favourite item on the site so far is this three-piece Penelope serving set, which is priced at $24.95 but is reduced to $19.95 with the discount code.

I had a funny moment in a Lasoo meeting yesterday morning.

We were sitting around discussing various brands and products that appear on the site when someone mentioned a brand called Ed. Everyone was all “Ed who?” and I actually thought it had something to do with Ed Hardy. It took a couple of minutes (seconds) of mild confusion before it became clear that the brand is actually called “A Brand Called Ed”.

Ok, maybe it isn’t really that funny but for a Monday morning it was mildly amusing for about two seconds before the reality of the day kicked in.

It appears that A Brand Called Ed is a stationery and homewares line that’s available at Officeworks - and it really is very cute, and affordable.

My favourite is the A6 notebook pictured here, which is a bit of a bargain for $7.99. $8 to brighten up your working day is a small price to pay.

You can find Officeworks store locations and Officeworks catalogues here.

If, like me, you love a good homewares sale, then you’ll be most interested in this week’s Target catalogue.

Yes, the big T is slashing 20-40% off manchester and a big range of homewares this week so it’s a good time to head into a Target store and stock up after the festive season.

I managed to shatter several more wine glasses over Christmas so I’ll need to replenish my supply pretty soon. Luckily boxed glassware and dinnersets are 25% off this week.

Lots of other bargains too - home appliances, clothes, back-to-school stuff and more.
