$50 CSN Stores Gift Certificate Giveaway

I had already scheduled this giveaway before the tragic earthquake & tsunami in Japan. I have decided to continue with the giveaway, because I know we could all use a little happy.

Please say a prayer for the people of Japan and their families!

I’m really excited to announce that I was contacted by Sean at CSN this week to do a giveaway on His Birdie’s Nest. I’m sure most of you have heard of CSN or even seen giveaways for gift certificates being offered on other blogs. When the contacted me, of course I went perusing around their website to see the what kinds of thing you all could get with your new fancy gift certificate. I knew they offered a TONS of different things, but did you know they have flat panel TV stands?


This jumped out a me because Hubs and I have been on the hunt to purchase a condo in the past couple months and at every open house we’ve been to, so far, everyone has their TV mounted above their fireplace. Hubs, is not a fan of placing the TV this high because he don’t like looking at the TV from that angle. Personally I like the TV stands more because is a nice place to hide all your stereo system, DVD player etc. I think we’re the only people in South Orange County without our TV mounted above our fireplace.

Anywhoodle, you’re probably wondering about that giveaway, huh?

1 – Mandatory comment below on what you’d spend your gift certificate on, if you won.
2 - Tweet about this offer (with a link) and then post a comment about it including your Twitter user name. Something like "I just entered to win a $50 gift certificate to @CSNStores from @FrenchieBirdie. http://tinyurl.com/4gcdpw6 #winning"

1 - US and Canada residents only (sorry, but it's not up to me. CSN delivers only to US and Canada)
2 – The last day to enter is Thurday, March 24th @5pm PST.
3 – As always I use Random.org to select the winner and I’ll post the winner on Friday, March 25th.





Have you heard of Joss & Main? It’s a sale site (like Rue La La and One Kings Lane) but this one is a sister site CSN! They have sales on things up to 70% off (lasting 72 hours). I’ve been a member for over a month now and they have some pretty great sales!
Like the other sites you need an invite to join, so here’s the link to mine :)
