Restaurants.com: Save on Food & Flowers

Melissa — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:27:14 +0000

If you have been waiting to get the best deal with Restaurants.com, now is your chance. They are offering 80% off Restaurant.com $25 Gift Cert. orders AND receive a $15 FTD® Floral Reward. Use code HEART and Pay $2 thru 2/14/10.

Not a bad price for a dining gift certificate and flowers! It doesn’t get much better than 80% off, but I recommend heading over to get a gift certificate soon, because they do sell out.

Common Questions:

Have you tried Restaurants.com before?
Yes. We use them whenever we can to help us save while eating out.

How long do the gift certificates last?
They last for 1 year after you order (unless otherwise noted). Also, you can exchange your gift certificate to a general Restaurants.com gift certificate within 90 days if you change your mind on the restaurant you picked.

What is shipping?
No shipping costs since you print them from your computer. This makes them great last minute gifts.

Note: Make sure you look at the requirements for each restaurant you pick since some require a minimum order, however, you can still get a great deal, even with the minimum amount.

CLOSED Giveaway: Customize Clothes with eShakti ($20 Gift Card, 3 Winners)

Melissa — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:34:20 +0000

Have you ever been looking for that perfect dress, shirt, or pants, but it just didn’t fit right? I know that has happened with me and I’m sure most of you have experienced it, too. That is why I was excited to try a new clothing line, eShakti, that customizes clothing for your body!

There are many styles to choose from, including the “little black dress” to coats, shirts, and pants. I was impressed at the designs and loved how each piece can be fully customized. They range in size from 0-26W, and you can request special touches for sleeves, the neckline, or length.

I gave my measurements for the dress that I picked out and was pleased at how well it fit. It will be perfect for the summer weather since it is sleeveless and light weight. The biggest challenge for me was not if I wanted something, it was what to pick!

And if you don’t mind find something without your own customization, you can look through the overstock and ready-to-wear section to save an additional 20%-25% off.

WIN IT!

Thank you to eShakti, 3 lucky readers will receive a $20 gift card to eShakti.com to pick out her own item.

CLOSED: Giveaway: $25 Build-A-Bear Gift Card & FREE Sound Coupon

Melissa — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:37:33 +0000

What would Valentine’s Day be without a cute cuddly stuffed animal, especially for kids (ok and those of you like me that still love stuffed animals)? To make it even better, Build-A-Bear has a new Be Mine Dalmatian, that is adorably covered with heart-spots.

For those of you that have not shopped at Build-A-Bear before, it is a fun store that allows customers to choose a bear or other furry friend, and customize it by stuffing it in the store. Kids can give their new friend a bath, pick out clothes, and finish by printing a birth certificate for their new toy.

Thanks to Build-A-Bear, my son loved bringing his Be Mine Dalmatian to life, especially when he choose to add the “6-in-1 Best Friends Sound”. Bears start at $10 and the added sounds range from $3-$8. You can also pick out all kinds of outfits and/or accessories for your new bear.

TRY IT!

The good news is that you can grab a printable coupon for a FREE Sound to use in store or online. (Just click the coupons to open them up bigger and print). These are valid through Valentine’s Day, 2/14/10.

You can also “bring your Be Mine Dalmatian to life” online for FREE at Buildabearville.com

CLOSED: Giveaway: Record-O-Clip A Special Message

Melissa — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 20:12:15 +0000

Make a loved one’s Valentine’s Day special with a personal message from Record-O-Clip, which “transforms the everyday bag clip into a revolutionized recording device.”

Record-O-Clip is a fun magnetic clip that holds 16 seconds of audio (your voice, a favorite song, or other sounds). It is easy to record by just holding down the button, and the message is played every time you open the clip, which can hold photos, homework, special notes, or even a bag of chips.

This can be a perfect Valentine’s Day gift to let someone know how special they are. My 4 year old has already been practicing with the Record-O-Clip. He likes to make secret messages that I’ll hear when I’m at the refrigerator. He even drew a family picture that is now displayed with the clip.

Of course, the Record-O-Clip can be used year round to help you remember your schedule, to take medication, or any other important tasks. Since it is magnetic, it is easy to keep it on the refrigerator, a file cabinet, or even at your desk. The Record-O-Clip is available for purchase online for $7.99 (FREE Shipping).

WIN IT!
