My daughter is moving out this summer into her first place with one of her friends. It will be me and the fur babies and, although I will miss the mini me, I am actually looking forward to it, as well. Right now I am looking up housewarming gift ideas and have come across a few that I like. Perhaps you guys could offer some opinions of the items I am choosing and also let us know what you bought your children when they first stepped out on their own.
You guys know me. I love saving money. You know what else I like? I like doing business with companies that help the environment and/or do social good. So, I am glad to be sharing BLINQ with you today and how they have partnered with Trees For The Future. This means that every time you place an order with BLINQ they plant a tree. Oh, and you can also save 70% off retail prices. 🙂
Save Up To 70% At BLINQ
Amber was mentioning how she wanted a nice set of flatware the other day. I have to say that I really like this Kate Spade flatware set. It’s simple but elegant looking. At less than $37, it’s a really nice price, too. I think this would make a good choice considering I have no idea what her kitchen will look like. I think this will go with a lot. What do you think?
Amber and I have also really gotten into the patterned panel curtains. I love the grommets. I love the rods. I love how the length of the curtains makes the window appear larger. However, curtains are subjective and I would definitely need to get Amber’s opinion on these before buying them. But what do you think? Do you love these Foamback Curtain Panels like I do?
While looking around on BLINQ, I also found this Rachel Ray set. I bought the EXACT SAME ONE a couple years ago on a Black Friday sale. If memory serves me correctly, I paid either $79 or $99 for it. I have since seen it in the same store for $99. You can get it at BLINQ for $56.99. Wow. That is awesome. My daughter loves mine and she is moving out this summer, so guess who might be getting one. 😉
How does BLINQ save customers up to 70% off you might ask? Well, lots of retailers buy way more than they need. They can’t sell all of this so that is where BLINQ steps in. They accept overstock, open box items and refurbish items and inspect them thoroughly before listing them. That way, you can save a ton on items that you need that might otherwise not be used. This saves you money and helps the environment.
BLINQ Is Environmentally Conscious
Each item is inspected and ensured to be in good condition before being listed at BLINQ. But even if you decide that something that you purchased from BLINQ is not for you after all, they don’t just throw your return away. Did you know that in the US, 4 billion {yes, BILLION, with a B} pounds of returned purchases and excess inventory gets sent to the landfill each year. Instead of throwing items like this away, BLINQ finds a home for them.
I am all about reading up on places before they get my business. You can check out some of BLINQ’s reviews here.
Get Social With BLINQ
Those curtains are cute. I want them for myself!
Perfect timing! My sister and BIL just bought their first house, so I need to get them a gift.
Great discounts and you get help save the earth? Win! Win!! And you are right. Those Rachel Ray sets go for $100 or more in the store. $56.99 is a steal. Thanks for the tip! I will check them out!
Loving the color scheme happening here. Those curtains are to dye for they are so pretty. I also am loving the price. I think i need to shop.
I’m enjoying the cooking set! My sister just moved her family into their first house. I’m thinking I need gift ideas!
Those are great ideas. I love the Kate Spade flatware.
Curtains are such a unique great gift idea. The most simplest things can be greatly appreciated.
those are some really great ideas. I would be so sad if my daughter was moving out – lol
Great prices for great items. A cooking set makes a great gift for someone moving!
These are really fabulous ideas! I know I would have LOVED getting any of these when I moved.
My daughter is doing the exact same thing. I’m tired of paying those crazy dorm fees and renting an apartment actually worked out cheaper so we’re now shopping for her new place. Will have to check this out.
Buy discounted cookware and a tree gets planted. Seriously, what could be better than that!
Wait, I don’t have to plant the tree myself, do I? Because that could be a dealbreaker…
Yes, I do love those curtains for sure. You’re right about them making the window appear larger.
Wow, that Kate Spade flatware set is awesome! I want that for me!
I NEED those red pots and pans! And what a great price too!
