Hey, who here LOVES CAPITALISM AND COMMERCE? Not me, but alas, until we move to our socialist lesbian commune utopia, I must do as the Romans do, which’s why every holiday season we beg you desperately to do your online holiday shopping through our affiliate accounts! When you visit an affiliate store via an Autostraddle link — either via a generic link to the store or a specific product link from one of our shopping guides — we get a kickback (between 3% and 20%, depending on the merchant). Why give money to corporations when you can give money to corporations who give money to us?
We’ve created an entire page dedicated to the cause, which you should immediately bookmark. At Support Autostraddle While Shopping Online: Affiliate Marketplace, you’ll find links to all our affiliate merchants, such as Fab.com, Amazon, ModCloth, Alternative Apparel, Target, Need Supply, Torrid and Topman. We actually rely more on income from affiliate accounts than we do on traditional advertising and the holidays are a crucial time for us, so every little purchase helps!
Today we present you with some kickass deals happening this weekend at various hubs of commerce.

I have those headphones and they are the best headphones I’ve ever had. They are quality and comfortable.
I am so happy you reminded me to use your affiliate links! I feel comforted to know that at least some the ridiculous amount of money I spend on Amazon can be rerouted to you wonderful folks.
So tempted to buy a onesie.
but aren’t we all?
I so want one but I am trying to act like a responsible adult
i feel like there are going to be SO MANY onesies at 5.0
I’M GONNA BE A FLYING SQUIRREL.
I’M GONNA BE A KOALA
Im gonna be a unicorn
I’m so glad that I’ve already picked the delish Christmas onesie Santa will be bringing me. (This lil’ beauty: http://tinyurl.com/pzh8g9n) Otherwise there is no way I could hold back on getting myself an owl. Fingers are still twitching to reach for my credit card. *sits on hands*
I like that you assumed I ever put pants ON today.
update: 6:10 p.m. EST and I am only putting on pants to go to the movies.
update 2: pants achieved at 6:19 p.m.
there have been zero pants involved in my life today and i am NOT SORRY.
Update 4: Pants removed at 12:31 AM.
Oops, that previous one should have been update 3 SORRY EVERYONE.
also Vanessa knows how to live, am I right? no pants all the time. If I hadn’t been promised three hrs of lesbianism at the movies there would have been no pants at all today.
Maybe you subconsciously meant to put 4. I mean #3 is cursed forever after Strugglebus and Strugglebus 2.0.
For the kigurumi costumes- anyone know about sizing? It says “one size fits most”, but I have a feeling plus size is not most. :/
Story of my life! x
i’ve seen them on people of many different sizes but this size chart might be helpful? http://fbadaikou.com/images/ebay-sazac/size.jpg
If I hadn’t handed my partner my wallet this morning, I’d be all over modcloth right now.
Ah! I just ordered some stuff from modcloth yesterday, and came here looking for an affiliate link and couldn’t find one (I did find a sidebar ad to click on at least). So hooray for the affiliate marketplace page!
Also pretty excited to see Herroom on the list. Now AS can benefit from my terrible lingerie-buying problem. :/
yes, the modcloth and amazon ads in bottom of the sidebar link you to those places through our affiliate network, so thank you! we look forward to benefiting from your terrible lingerie-buying problem. :-)
Two minutes ago, it had never occurred to me that I could keep warm and also be an owl. Now I kind of wish I had the spare cash on hand to turn myself into a warm owl.
My parents have been threatening to buy me a onesie all year. Now I might have to make a wish list from that site… I feel like I’m giving in to capitalism.
Pants of any kind are for the weak! Except possibly those rainbow sweatpants, which might be the best things I’ve ever seen.
While we’re on the topic of clothes i need help. I have the HARDEST time finding good dress shirts. See im kinda short 5’1″ but i got boobage. Yeah its a word. So basically in guys its kinda tight and long but in women its the right length but they never have good dress shirts. -.-
The headset is pretty good. Id go for that kitty sweater.
Bravissimo do stuff that is sized based on your usual dress size and cup size so the fit is great. That said, many of their styles are generally quite girly, which isn’t to everybody’s taste. The workwear/officey shirts are pretty good though.

Kreuzbach10 – definitely more MOC, I haven’t bought from them myself yet but their stuff looks amazing and they sponsor an A-Camp Campership which makes them pretty cool humans in my book.
thanks!
My mom gave me money for my birthday specifically to buy headphones. Further proof that AS reads minds.
I’m just going to assume that these Kigurumi sales mean it will be appropriate for me to show up to law school finals in a unicorn onesie.
Those underwear reminded me that I’ve been looking for a good pair of boyshorts since Calvin Klein stopped selling the 365 boyfriends (ugh, heteronormativity) for women. I got some tomboi briefs sans strap on at LA pride. They’re supercute but I was dumb and got white… so my favorite jeans’ dye rubs off on the crotch every time I wear the two together :( Does anyone have any suggestions/want to mourn the CKs together? Haha.
you should check out all our underwear guides!

http://www.autostraddle.com/briefly-noted-underwear-for-your-masculine-center-164269/
http://www.autostraddle.com/boyshorts-girltrunks-102-queer-underwear-guide-159588/
These guides are the best. for reals.
Thanks so much for relieving my underwear woes, Vanessa! I somehow forgot about those fabulous guides. I’m dying for a pair of the AA briefs and the CKs from the first link! Actually I just want it all
I can’t tell if you want a recommendation for actual men’s underwear or not?, so I’m going to give you that anyway. CK 365 (again, men’s) are super comfortable and probably don’t go much past the front pocket of your jeans, and they come in all sorts of colors, and they’re usually $10 at Marshall’s. Go buy them.
Or maybe just do what Vanessa said.
Haha, I was a little tangential. I noticed the underwear I was waxing poetic about are the white Calvin kleins under the girl trunk picture. I love the little buttons so much and the way they hold my girl parts. Basically, that’s the kind of style I love.. Guys briefs made for women so they fit my wide hips. I’m not picky though as long as they fit well. Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check those out :)
If the Kigurumi onesies didn’t say “fits people up to 5’6″” only I’d be all over that fox costume! How do they fit on tall people?
robin wears one and she’s 5’10!
Just ordered a pin. Been wanting to do that for a while now!
This post is beautiful. Anything else coming this weekend for Small Business Saturday or good companies to support for Cyber Monday?
I was going to say that we should have a Kigurumi party at the next A-camp, but I’m over 5’6 and they supposedly won’t fit me. Anyone have any experience with this? Cuz I wanna be a unicorn
@riese says robin is 5’10 and wears one!

I’ll just buy one then. Worst thing that happens is that it doesn’t fit and I give it to my 13 year old niece, who would love it too. :)
You won’t be disappointed. I live in mine on my weekends off.
The Alternative Apparel link isn’t working
YOUR MOM ISN’T WORKING
(i fixed it tho)
The AS affiliate links are basically how I justify buying myself unnecessary things on amazon while trying to avoid doing work. So thank YOU Autostraddle.
Ah! I literally just bought a dress on Modcloth and THEN saw this post! I wish I’d seen this earlier, I would have used the link!
I’ll definitely be using the Amazon link for anymore Christmas shopping though.
(Oh man, can I justify spending that much on giant footie pajamas? Because I seriously want that black cat kigurumi.)
Ughh, my eyeballs love posts like this, but my bank account hates them :(
Those sweats are adorable, but seriously, on sale is almost $100? I can’t wait for the socialist lesbian commune utopia.
I love the list of Affiliate links! Haven’t been able to find the complete one before this holiday season..I’ll keep it bookmarked from now on :)
The affiliate links are the perfect reason for all of my holiday shopping to be done online saving me from the chaos/horror that is being in an actual store this time of year. Hooray for win-win situations!
ugh, desperately searching for the perfect headphones and failing miserably. Can anyone suggest a pair for someone with piercings? All the on ear ones I’ve tried sound great but press against my piercings. Or, they’re so huge I look like I’m wearing a helmet!
I have skullcandy lowriders (http://ca.skullcandy.com/shop/2011-lowrider-gold)
Don’t have heaps of ear piercings, just 1-2 regular ones and one small bar higher up (I have just discovered it is REALLY hard to paint a word picture of where an ear piercing is!) Anyway I find these quite comfy as they’re very cushioned, also they are nowhere near as bulky as a lot of other sets.
I got mine for about £30 sterling. Have had them for about a year and a half, still working perfectly and I am a very careless owner. They have been dropped, shoved in backpacks, constantly get smudges of make up or hair products on them and still they survive!
I find the sound fantastic, as I had been wearing shitty iphone earphones before that. I’m sure there are more expensive ones that might be better but to be honest, I don’t think I would notice the difference. I get the point of getting awesome Sennheiser ones or whatever if you’re a DJ, but for me, listening to music in line at the bank, or watching movies on the train, these are perfect.
Is it bad that I just bought Christmas presents for myself?!
i did the same thing it’s ok
Oh my goodness there is a pink unicorn kigurumi costume. I need it now.
I really need someone from Autostraddle to watch this French version of Agatha Christie stories: http://www.france2.fr/emissions/les-petits-meurtres-d-agatha-christie and then show my fashion-illiterate self where I can recreate the main character’s wardrobe for cheap. It’d be the best Christmas present ever.
PS. ignore the awkward green dress thing, that scene was sort of a gag.
