FREE shipping from Silver Palette – stunning greeting cards February 8, 2010

There is only one word to truly describe the stunning embroidered cards by SilverPalette… “WOW!” And that’s just what your Valentine will say when he or she opens one this weekend.

This week only, Silver Palette is offering FREE SHIPPING on their amazing hand-stitched cards. These cards, in designs ranging from Valentine’s Day to baby showers to “thinking of you,” take three or more hours to make, and are truly works of art. You may just find one framed, hanging on the wall of the recipient’s home the next time you visit!

I suggest the “Romantic Hearts in Pink and Red Valentine” card pictured in this post. It is simply gorgeous — and just $4.50 with FREE shipping!

As their tagline says, Silver Palette makes “beautiful designs for those with sterling good taste.” That’s you!

Expires: FREE SHIPPING expires on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2010

Thanks, Jean!

Today and tomorrow only (Feb 7 & 8, 2010), you can get 20% OFF almost EVERYTHING in their stores, catalog, and online! Here’s how. If you’re headed to the store, print this coupon to take with you. You can use it over and over, and print an extra one for your shopping buddy too. If you’re shopping online or via the catalog, use code URBUDS2.

FREE 8×10″ canvas print of your photo February 6, 2010

Now here’s a way to make a BIG impression! Find an old favorite photo — or a new one — and have it professionally printed on canvas. This would make an amazing gift, or a fabulous way to showcase your business’ logo as your customers walk in the door.

Canvas People is offering a FREE 8×10″ canvas print of your photo or image, or a $55 credit toward a larger canvas size, photo effects, and frames. All you have to pay is shipping, which was just $14.95 when I tried it out (for an 8×10″ canvas to be shipped to Texas).

Their products are gallery-wrapped, so the image goes all the way around the frame and what you receive is a finished product. They’re also “sprayed for protection” so that the art can withstand the test of time.

Mother’s Day is coming up sooner that you think… Take the hint and thank me later. :)

Thanks, Kelly of Emily Anne’s!

 

FREE overnight shipping upgrade for James Avery orders February 5, 2010

So… Valentine’s Day is NEXT WEEK. Do you have something thoughtful for your Valentine? If not, do you have time to get that shopping done? Here’s a tip to make your shopping so much easier!

James Avery, one of my favorite jewelers based out of Kerrville, TX, is offering a FREE overnight shipping upgrade for orders placed by noon CST on Thursday, February 11th. His jewelry is of the highest quality and beautifully made. I’ve been wearing it for 20 years now, and pieces I received way back then still look brand new. Simply choose “Overnight PM” shipping then enter code NEXTDAY at checkout!

There’s something for every budget in the James Avery Valentine’s Day Catalog, but one piece that grabbed at my heartstrings is this gorgeous heart strings pendant.  It is 1″ long and would float beautifully along a simple chain necklace. It reminds me of the floating heart my parents gave me when I was a little girl.

If you have time to get to a store, visit a James Avery location near you.

Expires: Noon CST, Thursday, February 11, 2010

FREE chocolate milk February 3, 2010

UPDATE: This promotion appears to have ended early due to high demand. Sorry, folks! There seem to be more milk lovers out there than coupons available. We’ll let you know when we see this come around again. 2/4/10

My latest sweet treat? Chocolate milk in my coffee! And I got it FREE!

As part of the “got milk?” campaign, you can get a FREE half gallon of chocolate milk (any brand up to $3) with the purchase of one gallon of white milk (any brand).  All you need to do is go to the Great Gallon Give website, click “enter now” in the upper left-hand corner, and enter to win FREE milk  for a year. The consolation prize for not being the grand prize winner is a printable coupon for the FREE chocolate milk! Just be sure your printer is on, connected, and stocked with paper.

The great part about this deal is that it is good on any brand of milk. Organic? No problem! Hershey’s? Gotcha covered. Nestle quick? Done. And if the chocolate milk you choose is over $3, this ends up being a coupon for $3 off your purchase.

Expires: They’re giving out 125,000 coupons, and the coupon I printed today expires March 5, 2010
