What can you spend that $55 on should you win? Here are a few Valentine's Day themed suggestions.
I'd love decorate a Valentine's Day cake by completely covering it with those Conversation Hearts.
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.
