Give It Away Now: Luna Bazaar $100

.
If you've been around here at all, you know I've had a love affair with this next new sponsor and sponsor of an amazing giveaway, Luna Bazaar.

Luna Bazaar has been my "go to" site for paper lanterns for a few years now. I've answered countless emails from readers on where to get lanterns and sent many to Luna Bazaar.

So, I'm very excited to offer up this new giveaway: one lucky reader will win a $100 Gift Certificate to have a little shopping spree to spend as you wish on Luna Bazaar! (Split it with me? Okay, you can keep it all.)


.
Luna Bazaar is SO much more than paper lanterns though. They have an amazing collection of products that work all year round, but I'm drawn to all this shimmer and shine they have for the holidays.
.

.
They have so much from which you can choose. Do you need shimmering ornaments, Candle Holders, wintery Paper Star Lanterns (I have to add lanterns!)?
.

.
What about Lighted Garlands, Candle Lanterns, String Lights, and Pizelle Paper Lanterns. There are those lanterns again!
.

.

One entry: Visit Luna Bazaar and leave a comment here on how you would spend your $100 Shopping Spree.
Two entries: Leave a comment on Stem's Facebook page that you are in it to win it!
Three entries: Repost this giveaway on your blog, FB or Twitter and leave me a link back to it.

Contest ends December 15th at 9am Central.

Good luck and thank you, Luna Bazaar for this great giveaway!

Need some ideas? Well, let's entertain in our Dining Room shall we?
.

Use your $100 toward a new dining room table, buffet or counter height table. The great thing about a counter height table is that it will make whatever you choose to put on it the star of the party!
.

.
Need a tiny bit of extra space for display when you entertain? What about a small rolling cart or a fun bistro table?
.

.
We want the funk. Gotta have that funk. I am LOVING this funky console table like I love big, bold jewelry. A lot. It's the perfect statement piece.

Rather add some funk on top of your table? These colorful plates make a statement all their own.
.

.
Or...add life to your existing dishes with some new table linens. These subdued yet graphic patterns by DwellStudio make me a happy girl.

Don't need anything for the dining room? Not a problem. CSN has over 200 stores at which you can use your $100 Prize! Shoes....health and fitness...baby products and on and on. It's kind of mind-blowing to think where you'd spend the $100, really!

Giveaway: CSN Stores

.
CSN Stores is sponsoring a fabulous giveaway to round out this week. What could you do with up to $85 worth of goods from any of their online sites?

How about use it toward one of these home bars? Spring and summer entertaining is upon us and a nice home bar would be the perfect addition to the festivities!

Maybe you need some fun and colorful melamine serving trays. Metal more your thing? How about some items from the silver "ring" collection? If you ask me, everyone needs great, basic white serving pieces.

Want to add some color to your party? I think these bright garden stakes would look great in potted plants to add some color and height to your buffet table/centerpieces. Pair with some gardening tools, use gardening gloves to hold silverware at each place setting and you have a fun ladies' lunch table! Serving coffee? Add this little bird milk jug to the table!

These sassy little corkscrews add color and instant conversation to your cocktail party.

If you've been here long, you know I have a real affinity for baby showers. I also love to use actual gifts as decor to help make it eco- and budget-friendly. Any of these wooden toys would make great baby shower items.

Loving these colorful stacking blocks for centerpieces. Keep the color going with a rainbow stacker.

I love my Chuck Taylors and this adorable lace up teaching tool reminds me of hightop Chucks. What a fun theme this would make for a little boy baby shower.

Finally, the modern black and white blocks with little pops of color might just be my favorite blocks ever. So perfect for a modern baby shower theme inspiration.

See something you here you want? I do! There is SO much more to be found at CSN's sites and by entering here you can pick your own prize up to $85.00! (can ship to U.S. and Canada only)

Leave a comment here letting me know how you would spend your $85 prize for a chance to win. Winner will be chosen Friday, April 16th at 5pm central. If you repost this on your blog and send me the link, you'll be entered in twice!

Good luck and thanks to CSN for this awesome giveaway.
