How's this for a problem -- gift certificate I can't use!
Just got a notice from fabshophop this morning that I won a $10 gift certificate from A Couple of Sisters Designs. I checked their web page and they sell flannels and tons of block-a-months. I am not interested in either. It's hard to feel bummed when this is a free gift, but there are hundreds of sites where I could spend that $10 a dozen times over.
What to do? I can just let it expire, but that seems such a waste. Trade with someone who likes their stuff -- but how? Buy something I will never use (don't have any friends who are into those things either.) Any thoughts? Thanks for reading. |
I sure would change my way of thinking and use it.
|
Why not order the flannel and donate to one of the groups making charity quilts? I'm sure they would make good use of it.
|
Do they have thread or other notions?
|
I'd probably put it in the pay-it-forward section of the QB.
|
they also have notions, thread, patterns, books, maybe a new ruler? or a handy new gadget you don't have? a nice cone or thread, or a couple spools? they offer a lot more than just bom's, flannels & wools.
|
I just browsed and spotted an adorable Owl applique, but we don't all have the same "likes". Good luck making use of your winnings. :)
|
Make a donation quilt with it. I sure wouldn't let it expire. Maybe there are some notions on their website and you can put it toward that.
|
I have won a few of those gift certificates and there was one that I didn't use. There was nothing I wanted or could use. They are usually non- transferable.
|
I won one once, and when I tryed to use it, Shop was closed and would not honor it. And I tryed to use it as soon as I was notified that I had won. Oh well!
