$25 CSN Stores Gift Certificate Giveaway - Ends 8/8

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I am hosting a CSN Stores $25 gift certificate giveaway. What is CSN Stores? It is one website that unites 200+ online retailers selling a broad range of products, including home decor, baby/children items, tools, pet supplies, office supplies, and so much more. The website is very easy to navigate. The website's search engine allows you to search by keyword or brand. All of the stores offer very competitive prices, often much lower than retail price.

I decided to put my $25 gift certificate toward a new car seat for Lydia. Everyone I know recommended Britax, so I searched all of the car seats and found several Britax car seats. As I had expected, the price was at least 20% lower than the leading baby department stores. The car seat I found was under $200 and was gender neutral, which was important to me. The site also offered free shipping, which was awesome.

One thing I would recommend - I searched the site several days in a row to really figure out what I wanted. Unfortunately, I initially picked out one car seat, but when I looked the next day to purchase it, it was already sold out. However, the car seat I picked out was just as nice and less expensive - Bonus! So, when shopping on CSN Stores, if you really like something, purchase it that day. If you are uncertain, search for a few days, as merchandise is constantly being updated.

Here's Lydia sleeping in her new Britax car seat. What's so great about this car seat? She'll be able to use it until she is ready for a booster seat. It is rear-facing for now, but converts to a forward-facing seat when she is ready. Definitely an eco-friendly choice for my family!

 

WIN IT! You can win a $25 gift certificate to CSN Stores, to be used at any of their 200+ retailers.

CSN Stores *Sneak Preview*

I am going to be doing a review/giveaway of CSN Stores. CSN Stores is an awesome website! They link together over 200 different stores, carrying baby/kid items (e.g. children's furniture, toys, & games), household items (e.g. towels, headboards, & cookware), outdoor living (e.g. grills, fire pits & lounge chairs) and so much more!!

The product I plan on reviewing is a carseat. Since Lydia is turning 1 in less than 2 months, I need to invest in a forward-facing carseat soon. CSN Stores has many options to choose from, so after doing some research, I will pick the one that I think will be best for my family.

Have you visited CSN Stores before? What did you purchase? Did you find this to be a helpful website to purchase lots of different types of merchandise at one location? Any forward-facing carseat suggestions??

Tune in soon for my review and giveaway -- a $25 gift certificate to CSN Stores!
