So my moms birthday is coming up in about three weeks and she has been hinting non stop about wanting one of those Ninja Creami ice cream makers. I missed the big sales earlier this year but I noticed QVC has it as a Todays Special Value today for like $179 and it comes with five of the pint containers which seems like a really good deal since they usually charge way too much for extra ones.
I was just about to click buy but then I checked Amazon and they have the base model for $165 without the extra pints. I know the QVC value always says its worth way more than the price but I keep hearing people say you can find it cheaper if you look around. Im on a strict budget of $200 for the whole gift including a couple of mix-ins and toppings so every dollar counts.
I'm torn because the extra pints on QVC are nice but Amazon has that fast prime shipping and I wont have to worry about it arriving late. QVC shipping usually takes forever for me out here in rural Ohio. Are these TSV deals actually the lowest price you can get or is it just marketing fluff with extra accessories I probably dont need? I really want to get her the best bang for my buck. Is it better to stick with the QVC bundle or just go with the cheaper unit on Amazon and buy the pints separately if she actually ends up using it?

Building on the earlier suggestion, I actually have to disagree about the QVC bundle being the absolute best move! I love my Creami so much, it is honestly amazing!! 1. I heard that QVC shipping fees to rural areas can be super high, which might ruin your $200 budget.
- I think the Amazon model is actually more reliable for long-term use.
- Save that extra cash for gourmet toppings from this site to make the gift really pop!

Building on the earlier suggestion, I actually disagree slightly! The Amazon unit is usually the NC301 model, which is amazing! You can easily grab cheaper generic pints later that work perfectly. Id definitely check a QVC price tracker tho, because those TSV deals aren't always the best bargain. Plus, reliable Prime shipping is a huge win when youve got a strict birthday deadline out in rural Ohio!

In my experience, those extra pints are essential for the Creami. Buying them separately costs way more than that 14 dollar difference, so the QVC bundle is definitely the better value here.
