$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.
