Blogiversary Giveaway #1!

Categories:  Giveaways, Other

I hope y’all had a great weekend! For us, it was a pretty long, 3-day weekend that resulted in getting a good bit of housework done. I’m ashamed to admit that the kitchen was basically closed most of the weekend (we ate out…a lot.), but hey, it’s ok to take a cooking/baking break every once in a while!

I’m sure you want me to stop rambling and get to the good stuff. ;)

The first of the blogiversary giveaways is for a $20 credit to CSN stores! I actually really never knew about them until a few blogger friends held giveaways, and after winning one myself, I was able to see if they are a good online store or not. I ended up not buying anything food related, since I have WAY too many kitchen gadgets as it is!

I was actually first looking at their luggage stores for a few upcoming trips I’m taking, but I ended up purchasing something for crafting (typical). I’m happy to say that I got my order within a week, which is pretty awesome since I didn’t pay extra for shipping.

So, when CSN reached out to have a giveaway at The Nifty Foodie, I knew I couldn’t say no! Free moolah? Why not go for this?!

All you have to do to enter is comment telling me, what you would buy from CSN stores with the credit. :)

For an additional giveaway entry, post this on your Twitter and comment back with the Twitter link: “I just entered @niftyfoodie’s Blogiversary Giveaway: $20 credit to @csnstores. Enter here! http://bit.ly/hRWZB2“

You have until Friday, January, 21st at 11:59pm to comment.

Just a note: only US/Canada readers can enter this giveaway. (Just as an FYI to Canadian readers, CSN’s shipping may cost more due to international shipping charges.)

FTC Disclosure: This prize is provided by CSN Stores. :-)

Best of luck! Oh, and stay tuned….tomorrow’s giveaway is going to feature my FAVORITE guy from Food Network! :-)

    Some wall art for our bathroom redo or maybe towards a new lighting fixture for our entry. I love CSN!

  2. Lindsay Tjarks | January 18th, 2011 at 9:48 AM

    I’m hoping to get a new digital scale for my kitchen!

  3. Rachael | January 18th, 2011 at 9:50 AM

    Wow, they have everything! I’ve never seen CSN before today.
    To answer the question, and thus enter the giveaway: We moved into our new-built house 13 months ago. You’d think that after a year the place would be more homey and lived-in looking, but no, it still seems somewhat unfinished. I really do need a few kitchen things, like a garlic press (the last one died a horrible death squeezing a key lime), and I’m really wanting some silicone baking dishes, but what I think I would end up buying is something for the bathrooms. Mine is cavernous. I need something in there to make it cozy. I am going to look at the bathmat sets. There are so many! So that’s what I’m saying, bathroom rugs and such. Though I could well change my mind by then. :)

  4. Amanda | January 18th, 2011 at 10:10 AM

    I really want Rachael Ray’s oval pasta pot so I would put the credit toward that or any other fun gadget that I don’t have room for in my kitchen. :)

  5. the blissful baker | January 18th, 2011 at 11:00 AM

    I would get some new bakeware! Possibly the Frieling Heart Shaped Springform pan – perfect for Valentine’s Day!

  6. Jackie | January 18th, 2011 at 11:06 AM

    I would put the credit toward a new coffee table. We donated my husband’s bachelor one (glass, square, and wrought iron. ew!) and haven’t picked up a new one yet! We’re looking for anything round/oval and walnut-ish to match our tv stand.

  7. Nikki Tanner | January 18th, 2011 at 11:43 AM

    I love the childrens furniture :)

  8. Nikki Tanner | January 18th, 2011 at 11:44 AM

    i posted it on twitter!

  9. Cece | January 18th, 2011 at 11:49 AM

    We need a new kitchen scale, so that would be top of my useful items list. But I’d really WANT to spend it on shoes! :)

  10. Cece | January 18th, 2011 at 11:53 AM

    And I sent out a tweet :)

  11. kelsey | January 18th, 2011 at 12:43 PM

    I would use it towards the purchase of a lamp that I’ve had my eye on…

  12. Melissa @ Made in Melissa's Kitchen | January 18th, 2011 at 1:59 PM

    I would probably buy yet another kitchen gadget or a new cookbook!

  13. Ali @ His Birdie's Nest | January 18th, 2011 at 4:21 PM

    Congratulations on your blogaversary! If I won I’d probably use my credit to help us buy new bath towels.

  14. Ashley | January 18th, 2011 at 4:54 PM

    Congrats on the blogiversary! I would get a travel alarm clock for our upcoming cruise.

  15. Ashley | January 18th, 2011 at 4:56 PM

    I tweeted about the giveaway.

  16. Tierney | January 18th, 2011 at 5:17 PM

    Probably a gadget that I would never buy otherwise, something fun!

  17. Jenn | January 18th, 2011 at 7:10 PM

    I would get an ice cream maker!

  18. Angi | January 18th, 2011 at 9:38 PM

    I would get a replacement Fiesta plate for our collection…the original somehow ended up on the floor, in pieces. :/ They have really good prices on their Fiesta! Thanks!

  19. tiff | January 19th, 2011 at 8:38 AM

    I would like to buy a pastry bag and tips to use for decorating cupcakes.

  20. Jessica Lynn | January 19th, 2011 at 8:38 AM

    Hmmm I would probably use that towards a cast iron pan or a dutch oven, because we could use both around here!

  21. Jessica Lynn | January 19th, 2011 at 8:39 AM

    And I tweeted :)

  22. Nodakademic | January 19th, 2011 at 9:23 AM

    I just tweeted the giveaway!

  23. Nodakademic | January 19th, 2011 at 9:24 AM

    I have my eye on a couple of LeCreuset pieces from CSN. A butter crock, for one!!

  24. Karen @Sugarspicelivin | January 19th, 2011 at 12:10 PM

    There is a ottoman that I have my eye on!!

  25. Morgan | January 19th, 2011 at 1:20 PM

    CSN has SO much stuff, it’s hard to pick! But I would probably get some new picture frames for the walls in our family room!

  26. Morgan | January 19th, 2011 at 1:21 PM

    Tweet tweet!

  27. Dana | January 19th, 2011 at 2:30 PM

    Maybe a garlic press… or a waffle maker… or an electric griddle… so much to choose from!

  29. Sheena @ theSheenBean | January 19th, 2011 at 4:27 PM

    Congrats on the anniversary. I think I would get a new set of mixing bowls. I don’t like the ones I currently have!

    I’m looking to get a ravioli cutter!

    I tweeted – @angiyt

  33. Kate | January 21st, 2011 at 8:47 AM

    I’d LOVE to get a doughnut pan!

  34. Nichole | January 21st, 2011 at 9:22 AM

    I would definitely buy new sheets for my bed since my super-adorable puppy has decided to chew holes in TWO of my sheet sets.

  35. Nichole | January 21st, 2011 at 9:55 AM

    I tweeted the contest :)

  36. Samantha | January 21st, 2011 at 10:59 AM

    By far my favorite thing from there is the aprons. They just have the cutest ones! My hubby tells me he’s worried that aprons are becoming the new shoes in terms of shopping addictions ;-)

  37. Eva | January 21st, 2011 at 12:19 PM

    I need a new candy thermometer, so I’d probably get that along with some more baking stuff.

  38. ShoeFanatic614 | January 21st, 2011 at 2:28 PM

    Ooh, I would definitely put it towards a new Cozy Coupe for my girl’s birthday!

  39. ShoeFanatic614 | January 21st, 2011 at 2:29 PM

  40. stacey | January 21st, 2011 at 9:41 PM

    I want a potato ricer, so I can make authentic lefse for Christmas this year! :)

  41. Liz M. | January 21st, 2011 at 10:57 PM

    I’d get some new linen napkins!
