*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED*
The nice people over at CSN Stores are going to give one of my readers a $40.00 gift certificate to use at one of their 200+ stores. CSN's collection of online stores have so much to offer you're sure to find something you'll love within a few minutes of browsing. They have everything ranging from entertainment centers, kids toys, cute shoes and so much more.
I've just recently started getting into online shopping. I don't know why, but it's something I veered away from for the longest time. But now that I have my hands full with four kids, I find myself shopping online more and more.
I have to tell you my biggest problem with online shopping is the Shipping. I hate paying for Shipping. Here is what I love about CSN stores they have FREE SHIPPING on pretty much everything.
I had fun looking through their stores finding things I would use the gift certificate on. Here are a few:
We spend a lot of time watching soccer games. I can't tell you how many times we've had to work around wet grass. I want this JJ Cole blanket. It's big, waterproof, folds up into a bag and is super cute.
Okay I have to admit my favorite area to shop at any store is the Clearance Section. CSN has a hassle free return policy and as a result they sell their returned items at a discount from their Clearance Center. I was thrilled when I found it. The following items are all from the Clearance Center.

We spend a lot of time playing lawn games when the weather is good. My favorites are Croquet and Bocci. This set comes with three fun games I know my family would love.
Now it's your turn to figure out what you want to spend your gift certificate on.
There are three ways to enter:
1. leave a comment telling me why you like shopping online.
2. Be a follower of At Second Street or a subscriber.

Leave me a separate comment for each entry. Make sure you include your email address so I can reach you. This giveaway will end Saturday, May 1st at midnight. It is open to all readers in the US and Canada.
Good Luck!
I like to shop on line because I don't have to wait in lines and I don't have to take my children with me:)

I am with you. I just started shopping online more as well. With 5 small kiddos who wants to go to the stores?
ReplyDeleteJust became a follower!
ReplyDeleteAm a follower and fan.
ReplyDeleteI shop online because I live in the wilderness of shopping...and its convenient with little kiddos.
ReplyDeleteI shop online because I can find things that I can't find in the stores around my house. Even something as simple as a book. I have tried going to the big book stores to find the books I want and they have to order them, so I figure why not just have it come to my door.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteHI Kalleen,
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for a while. You are amazing. I love online shopping because I live 90 miles from any shopping. I live in a town that has a small grocery store and a True Value. That is it. So going shopping is not something easily done. It takes a lot of planning and with 4 kids you doin't just jump in the car and head to the store anytime you want. Online shopping makes things so easy and convenient for me!
I am also a follower!
ReplyDeleteI blogged about your site. My email address is jcandrews307@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteI love that I can shop in my PJs online! : )

ReplyDeleteI like shopping online because I don't have to drag my kids along.

I shop online because I like to get packages in the mail - I know it's silly but it's so fun to know something is going to be delivered.
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm a subscriber, I love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower!!! Love At Second Street!
ReplyDeleteI hate buying online because, like you, I hate paying shipping. But when I do I love not having to take my 4 kids out, too.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe my DH is actually more of the online shopper!! We live in a small town so it is convenient!

I love the convenience of shopping online and I love getting packages in the mail but I hate shipping charges and I hate waiting. I am more of an instant gratification girl.
ReplyDeleteI like shopping online because I live in a fairly small town and I just can't find all the things I'm looking for here.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteI love shopping online because I have a 19 month old and a 4 month old. Lugging that huge double stroller in and out of the car is enough of a workout once, much less going to multiple stores!!
ReplyDeleteI subscribe.
ReplyDeleteI like shopping online since you can order things in the middle of the night if you want
ReplyDeleteI shop online because I can find things there that I can't find anywhere else (I found a favorite toy from my childhood for me to...errr, my daughter to play with) and the reveiws from other shoppers!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower now, too =)

ReplyDeleteI love shopping online because we live out in the county so for me to go to a 'local' mall requires a 45 minute drive. Online is the way to go out here!!
ReplyDeleteI like shopping online because you usually have a greater selection to choose from :)

I do most of my shopping online because I don't have to drag my four kids along and I can usually find coupon codes for free or discounted shipping. Many places don't charge sales tax either if they are not in your state. Plus you can shop around and not spend a dime on gas.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower too.
ReplyDeleteI like how easy it is to shop online - buy my credit card usually does not, haha! But not having to take the kids with me shopping is worth a lot.

ReplyDeleteSince last week :)
I like to shop online because I can do it 24 hours a day!
ReplyDeleteand that means when it works for me--not when it works for the sale staff and not when I have to drag my 2 kiddos with me--
but when it's late and quiet and my kids are sleeping--and I don't have to pay for gas!

ReplyDeleteI love on-line shopping because I don't have to wait in the lines at the store and I can do the research that I need and get the item I want all from the comfort of my home.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping online because I have a toddler that is now refusing to ride in her stroller, so going to large stores (that don't have carts) is a nightmare!! And I get really annoyed by cruddy customer service, and shopping online cuts out crabby checkers!
ReplyDeleteI like shopping online because of the convenience (we are a one car family) plus I can look at my leisure

ReplyDeleteWhy do I like shopping online? Because shopping with kids is insane, usually.
ReplyDeleteI'm subscribing!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, the fact that my kids aren't climbing on the shelves at a store is a huge plus for online shopping. Plus, it is like opening a present when it arrives at your door - all be it, a present you paid for!
ReplyDeleteI like to shop online because I can look at something and ponder on it awhile before I actually make the purchase. I also love the fact that I can compare prices.
ReplyDeleteI just became a follower! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love your blog! You are so very creative! I can't wait to get some material to make the mod podge hand trees with my kids! They are adorable! Now to get down to business:

Thanks for the opportunity!
I like to shop online to save time, and also the sheer variety of products available.

ReplyDeleteI love shopping online because I can search for exactly what I want and can find some pretty obscure things. Right now, I'm shopping for ponytail holders like the kind Punky Brewster wore. My six-year-old has a wish for them!
