Christmas Shopping at CSN Stores

A Review of the Rub a Dub ABC 123 Bath Toy
"Rub a Dub ABC and 123 from Alex brings the classroom to the bathtub! With Rub a Dub ABC and 123 bath toy, kids love that they can build words and numbers with these soft foam shapes that stick to the tub or tile when wet. Alex Rub a Dub ABC and 123 is the great bath toy that includes 2 multi-colored sets of alphabet letters and a set of numbers 0-9 – that makes 62 different pieces with which to play!"
Bath time used to be a chore- not anymore. My four year old can't wait to get in the tub and start counting and spelling. Pretty soon he'll be able to spell his name with the letters. He's almost there.
Maybe after a couple more baths.
The Rub a Dub toys is made by Alex toys which offers several other bath toys and many arts and crafts kits.
I received this toy for review at no cost to me courtesy of Growing Tree Toys blog sponsorship program.

Shopping with CSN Stores
I mean- Wow- CSN Stores has over 200+ stores to choose from.
Bedding, bookcases, lighting, toys, almost anything and everything you could possibly want.
Searching through the stores I finally decided on this Green Gourmet 12 inch non-stick skillet made by Cuisinart.
I have a 10 inch and absolutely love it. My husband is always going on and on about how he wishes we had more of these Green Gourmet pans so when I discovered CSN offered them for sale I grabbed it.
The Green Gourmet pans are made with a non-stick coating that is environmentally friendly no dangerous Teflon or other chemicals.
Here's the official pan description:
Cuisinart® is leading the way in eco-friendly branded cookware with the new GreenGourmet™ line.
Exclusive Cuisinart Ceramica™ nonstick technology is ceramic based instead of petroleum based, helping to conserve existing oil supplies and the coating is applied at a temperature one half that of conventional nonsticks. And it’s completely free of PTFE and PFOA. Ceramica ™ coating and aluminum encapsulated base construction provide this skillet with high thermal efficiency, which saves energy. Riveted stainless handles stay cool on the stovetop and are made from 70% recycled stainless steel. Today, more and more home cooks are going green… and so is Cuisinart® cookware!

I couldn't be happier with my choice- this pan is awesome.
I also picked a Sandisk memory stick so I can use my Sony digital camera. I hate that Sony can't just make a camera that uses a regular sd card no they have to make cameras that require memory sticks. Well I finally got one so I can use the Sony- or my husband can. That's the camera her prefers.
So technically I just bought two items for the hubby. Oh well if it makes him happy it makes me happy.
And CSN has definitely made me happy. I see so much that I am adding to my Christmas list for myself, the hubby and the kids.
How could I not with so much to choose from?
