A Giveaway to celebrate winter

I’ve been contacted again by the good folks at CSN Stores to either review of one of the many products offered on their 250+ websites or to host a giveaway. And once again, I’ve chosen to do both.

Whether you’re looking for a cool round chair to finish off that retro look for the guest bedroom, or you’re shopping for cooking supplies, sheets and towels or just decorative items, CSN Stores really has it all.

In case you’re wondering who CSN is, they’re one of the top three U.S. retailers of home and office goods. Based in Boston, they started up in 2002 and in 2009 were named to the Hot 100 List of online retailers for that year.

By entering this contest, you could win a $65 one-time use gift code to any of their sites.

CSN2 Perch Pillow in Violet

From pillows . . .

CSN2 Wastebasket

To wastebaskets . . .

CSN2 Mug1CSN2 Tumbler

From mugs and tumblers . . .

CSN2 Flatware

To flatware . . .

CSN2 Throw

To throws . . .

CSN2 Glassware

and glassware . . .

You’ll be surprised at all you can find at CSN.

:: ~ :: ~ :: ~ :: ~ :: ~ :: ~ ::

This Giveaway is open to US and Canada residents only (sincere apologies to everyone else). However, if you know someone who lives in either the US or Canada whose address you can use and who will ship you the items if you win, well then go ahead and enter!

THE RULES
  • Leave a comment telling me what you think you’d like to purchase at CSN Stores. Make sure there’s a way for me to get in touch with you (either by e-mail or a link to your blog if you have one).
  • For an extra entry, become a follower of my Chronicles blog (that's my regular blog) and leave a comment afterward. If you already follow, leave a comment saying that you do.  Don’t forget to leave a comment saying that you follow me!
  • THAT’S IT!
I was thinking of doing all the extra entry offers (blogging, Facebooking, Twittering) but seriously, I wouldn’t want to do all that work and I’m not going to ask you to do it either. So it’s just one entry (or two, if you’re a follower here), no extras, no frills. Contest ends THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20 at 6 PM EST. Winner will be chosen using the random integer selector at Random.org and will be announced at approximately 7 PM Thursday evening, the 20th.
Good luck, all!

    Did my comment go through? I bumped something and didn't get to enter the word verification.

    If it didn't, I said I'd get a new rug or two for the high traffic areas in our living room and for in front of our fireplace insert. Already a follower!

    Michelle, it went through but in order to get two chances to win, you've got to add another comment to say you follow.

    I've kind of been infatuated with ceramic knives since I was able to try one at a cooking class. I just couldn't justify the cost - $75 for a knife?! I see CSN carries several for around $40 which is awesome! I'd definitely get one, and with the remainder I'd love to get a Bodum coffee press.

    Thanks so much for the chance!!

    There's a good chance I would buy a trashcan, lol. We've been using this nasty plastic Walmart one for too long and it soaks up the stink but my husband says its sill to fork out the $$ just for a trashcan.

    I absolutely love your photography. Extremely inspiring.

    I am in dire need of new coffee mugs. By the way, George is so cute!

    I would definitely get one of those pillows. And I saw an owl pillow too. It is one of the best way to keep in entrance sofa sets.
