$55 CSN Stores Gift Certificate Giveaway {Bubbles of Love}

CSN Stores has over 200 stores to shop from in one easy, convenient site.  That means that you can shop for furniture, cookware, briefcases, luggage, pet products and more all from one site.  CSN Stores has graciously provided me with a $55 gift certificate to give away to one lucky reader as part of the Bubbles of Love event.

What can you spend that $55 on should you win?  Here are a few Valentine's Day themed suggestions.

A Frieling Heart Shaped Springform Pan:  Bake the one you love a heart shaped cake to let them know how much you love them.  Also perfect for school parties, you can bake the cake and take the frosting and cake decorations to school and let the kids decorate the cake themselves.

I'd love decorate a Valentine's Day cake by completely covering it with those Conversation Hearts.



I also loved the Melissa and Doug DYO Heart Box!  This would make an awesome gift for any girly-girl.

My daughter did a similar craft for a jewelery box and absolutely loved the craft.  Parents know that Melissa and Doug means quality, so this box should hold up well and not break in five minutes flat.

This craft is rated for ages 4+.

Surprise your true love with a getaway, but let her pack in style with this Rockland 4 piece luggage set in hearts!  I loved the look of these and though the $55 gift certificate that CSN is allowing me to give away won't quite cover the cost, the gift certificate will offset almost half the cost.

I love the pull handles, which will make rolling the luggage very easy to do as you stroll through the airport on your way to your destination. 
GIVEAWAY!

Here's what you need to do to enter to win the $55 CSN Stores gift certificate giveaway.  Make sure you follow the rules and include your email in the mandatory entry comment or let me know if it is publicly available in your profile (and be sure it is!)  

Mandatory entry Visit CSN Stores and let me know what you'd spend the $55 on or toward, if the item you fall in love with is more than this gift certificate. 

Extra entries:  Snag some easy extra entries for this giveaway by doing any or all of the following (leave a comment for each action; each action is one entry).  Pinching Abe values all of her readers, both new and old!  If you already subscribe, are a friend, following on Twitter, just let me know in the comment.

  • Never miss my updates by subscribing via email to Making Ends Meet via email (right side bar).  If you already subscribe, please let me know in a comment.
  • Get an extra entry for entering another Blog Popper's contest!  See linky below and choose another giveaway to enter, go there and enter it, and then come back and tell me which giveaway you entered. (One entry for this method, but do enter other contests that pique your interest.)
    This contest will run through January 25, 2011 at 11:59 PM.  Winner will be drawn by Random.org on January 26, 2011 and notified via email.  They will have 48 hours to respond to email or I will need to choose another winner.  Open to US residents only who are 18 or older. 

    Double your chances of winning by entering Mama Told Me's $65 CSN Stores Gift Certificate giveaway.

    Disclosure:  Per FTC rules, I disclose that CSN provided me with a gift code to give away.  This blog post and a previous teaser post included links to products on their site.  I was not otherwise paid to make this post or the one previous.
