CSN Stores Giveaway & Upcoming Review
August 13, 2010 | Print | E-mail | Filed under reviews & giveaways
A couple weeks ago, CSN Stores contacted me and asked if I’d be willing to let them sponsor a giveaway and product review – if you haven’t heard of them, CSN Stores is comprised of over 200 stores where you can shop for cookware, home decor, and more. They’re giving me a $40 gift card toward anything in any of their stores to review – and, they’re giving away a $40 gift card to one of you, too! You can put it toward a dutch oven like this one:
Perhaps these gorgeous Le Creuset baking dishes on sale right now:
Or maybe an Emile Henry pie dish:
How would you choose to use the gift card? Leave a comment telling me how you would use it, and you’re automatically entered to win. For an additional entry, follow me on Twitter and tweet about this giveaway, and then come back and leave another comment.
Giveaway ends August 22nd at midnight. One winner will be randomly selected using Random.org and announced Monday, August 23rd.
Full Disclosure: Both gift cards are courtesy of CSN Stores. I was not compensated with additional products, gifts, gift cards, or money to write the upcoming review, and the opinions expressed here are all my own.

Oooh, that’s a tough question. So much I need for my kitchen…and after browsing CSN, so much I want to. First of all, those Le Creuset Caribbean blue baking dishes are simply gorgeous. I could also use the BonJour Creme Brulee torch, the Escali Estilo Spring Scale, the Jaccard Ceramic Hand Held Mandolin, Farberware Loaf Pans, a Nordicware Skillet, or the Paula Deen 3 Piece Knife Set. The list goes on and on. So I’d probably have to pick one or two of those items.
