Gift Idea: Amazon Has iTunes Gift Cards on Sale!

This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

This is a lightning deal so it won't be available too long past this this afternoon, but: Amazon has iTunes gift cards on sale — $42 for a $50 card. I always stock up when I see these deals because they make great stocking stuffers for my brother and father, and somehow my family spends a ton of money of various apps for the kids and me.

Alas, you can only claim the deal once as near as I can tell. I've already claimed the deal so I'm not sure I'm linking to the correct page — this is the lightning deal page (scroll down to the halfway point); I think this is the specific deal for the iTunes gift cards. 

Readers, have you found any great deals for gift cards in general? I know Target had gift cards on sale a few weekends ago (10% off, one Sunday only) — I've seen some iTunes gift cards on Black Friday deals at Staples (of all places) in the past. Do you know of any other great gift card sales? 

Sales of note for 6/4/25:

  1. CVS will often have random deals on gift cards (spend $50, get $10 Extra Bucks) but I think it’s very store-specific.

  2. Okay I am stuck. My mom’s birthday is early January. My family has taken all my ideas that I had for her birthday and used them up on Christmas. She is in her 70s. Lives in the the midwest. Not very mobile. Bad with technology. Does not follow sports. Likes birds. Spends too much time on her phone playing word games. Shouldn’t be eating anything fun. She will cheat with it but then will feel sick. She is totally out of fashion but I can’t do anything in that category because I don’t live near her and am not going to be around for Christmas/birthday. She doesn’t do returns and I can’t really guess her size. Doesn’t do makeup/lotion/anything pamper like for herself. Likes puzzles – but is already getting a ton of them for Christmas. Likes to read. For example she loves the The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith series. I want to get her something fun because currently my dad is getting her a water pick because the dentist told her to get one and my sister is getting her a cover for her windshield so she doesn’t have to scrape her window.

    1. Gifts my non-fashiony, non-foodie mother has enjoyed:

      Fancy electric tea kettle
      Kindle
      Copy of “The Little Book of Hygge” with basket of hygge things–candle, tea, cozy socks, throw, Barefoot Dreams sweater, etc.
      Books of her favorite types of puzzles

    2. Has she read any of the Inspector Gamache novels? By Louise Penny. They are about a Canadian detective. Not gruesome, but does involve death. Most of the characters skew older.

        1. Another mystery series – Dublin Murder Squad by Tana French? ~6 books with different protagonists within the same police unit, and overlapping stories.

    3. Top-notch slippers and/or a fabulous scarf?

      If you’d like to go the literary route, a good read-alike series for the Alexander McCall Smith books are C. Alan Bradley’s Flavia De Luce mysteries. “The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie” is the first. A complete series listing is at alanbradleyauthor.com/books.

      I like uncommongoods.com for quirky gifts.

    4. The Fannie Flagg Elmwood Springs series? (She of Steel Magnolias fame.) The Miss Julia series by Ann Ross? (A fun little mystery series.) Anything by Jan Karon. The Jody Hedlund Orphan Train series.

    5. Cashmere gloves, scarf or hat… yes it’s pampering but these are so warm that they’re also very practical, and size is not an issue.

    6. Audible gift card. She can listen from the app on her phone-super easy to use. If you want to make it personal, maybe also add a list of recommendations like you have here? ( Even more personal and if you’re up for it, suggest she pick something and you both read it and discuss after?)

  3. Another mystery series – Dublin Murder Squad by Tana French? ~6 books with different protagonists within the same police unit, and overlapping stories.

  4. An acquaintance of an acquaintance reached out to me because I am a lawyer. He is in litigation with the IRS and wants to know how to protect his assets if he loses the case. (I have told him this is way outside my expertise and I cannot advise him, although I will ask a few friends and see if they can come up with any names for him.) My instinct would be that you can’t sneak out your assets once you’re involved in an IRS dispute, but I’d like to put him in touch with someone who works in this area to tell him from a place of actual knowledge, rather than conjecture/judgment. Anyone know of a [tax litigator? tax planning attorney? accountant? other?] whose name I could pass along, preferably in the tri-state area?

    1. He wants a tax controversy lawyer. In Manhattan, try Kostelanetz & Fink. I’ve been out of that practice area for a few years, but Bryan Skarlatos used to co-chair one of the best tax controversy CLEs in the country alongside Chuck Rettig (new IRS commissioner). Caroline Ciraolo is another rockstar, and on the associate/counsel level, Juliet Fink is great.

      Another name to look at is Agostino & Associates, based in NJ.

      1. +1 Kostelanetz & Fink and Bryan Skarlatos

        Shaking my head that I am even part of this convo on the interwebs but if I were in trouble, I’d go to them. And not to hide assets — they would not assist in anything re fraudulent conveyances b/c they are professionals. But they will aggressively advocate for you so that you should fare as best as you possibly could.

    2. I am a WC expert, but Dad says it’s to late. In his day, people established Swiss Bank accounts and moved their money over there. No longer! Now the goverments are working together to make sure no one can hide money overseas. What you can do is give all your money to charity, and then ask the charity to give you an annuity back. Then, the only thing you have is a monthly annuity, which cant be taken away. Good luck, but remember, next time, do NOT cheat on the IRS b/c Dad says they know everything about you and will put you in jail.
