CSN Stores $40 Gift Card Giveaway

Friday, July 02, 2010

This giveaway is now closed.

With all the initiatives these days to become more eco-friendly, I always get excited when I find that more and more companies are catching on to the importance of going green. From diapers to facial tissue and lights to toys, there are so many options available to choose from to help do the right thing for our environment.

CSNLighting.com has a "Go Green" listing of all their products that are energy-efficient, eco-friendly or Energy Star rated. They offer solar lighting, dark sky lighting, LED lighting and fluorescent lighting. Not only will you find products that will reduce energy use but they will also help you save money in the long run.

CSN Stores also has over 200 online stores that offer additional "green" products. For example, cookware.com is a great place to find kitchen products made of bamboo, a natural renewable material that is eco-friendly and more durable than maple. Here's a Bamboo Banana Hanger that is on sale for $9.99:

They even have this cute Bamboo Small Salt Box with a slide-off top that rotates 360 degrees and is great for storing spices as well. It's currently on sale for $13.95.

And of course, no kitchen is complete without a cutting board. This Bamboo Hawaiian Cutting Board would be a nice addition to any kitchen and ranges in price from $10.95-$37.95 depending on the size.

What I really fell in love with are these kitchen toys by Plan Toys made of environmentally safe ruberwood. My son really loves the Preschool Fruit and Vegetable Play Set. I also bought the Large Scale Cooking Utensils as a gift for my daughter's friend who just turned 5. Both sets are on for $18 each. Aren't they adorable?

One lucky Toronto Teacher Mom reader will be selected to win a $40 gift card to be used towards the purchase of these or any other items currently sold on CSNStores.com.

All of the products featured above are available through CSN Stores and their cookware.com site. With over 200 stores to browse through, be prepared to spend some time looking at all the amazing stuff you can buy. For a limited time, you can also save between 20% - 70% off items in their cookware site. Most items ship to Canada and I noticed several items come with free ground shipping within the Continental US. And if you're a fan of the CSN Stores Facebook page, you can also find further deals on their Special Offers tab. For example, for today only, you can save 15% off by using discount code FBSALE15. Some brand restrictions apply and offer expires tonight at midnight.
