Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

This is day 7 of our 10 days of gift ideas.  Take a look at days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

If there’s someone on your holiday shopping list who likes a touch of fun and whimsy in their accessories, then they’ll get a kick out of our Oog Charmer Necklaces.  There’s the skull, the old-school gaming styled ghost, or our impish devil.

Take advantage of this gift idea and use the promo code GiftIdea7 to get 33% off* any Charmer necklace purchase. This promo code is good for TODAY ONLY and expires at midnight (EST) tonight.

Gift idea 6 | For family

Monday, November 29th, 2010

This is day 6 of our 10 days of gift ideas.  Take a look at days 12, 3, 4 and 5.

There’s something about having children that makes you more sentimental — after all, they’re always on your mind, no matter how old they are.  Our Connection necklaces are the perfect gift for your mother, or the mother of your children since each stainless steel ring and Swarovski crystal represents a family member’s birth month.  You can gift the daughters of the family with their own Solo connection necklace to represent a family connection without being too ‘matchy’.

They’re also a sweet gift for friends, since the rings and accents can represent the connection between you and other people you love — the family you choose, if not the one with which you’re born.

Take advantage of this gift idea and use the promo code GiftIdea6 to get 30% off* any Connection necklace purchase. This promo code is good for TODAY ONLY and expires at midnight (EST) tonight.

*As with all promo codes, you can only use one per order, and it cannot be combined with other offers.

Gift idea 5 | For those who already love Blend Creations

Friday, November 26th, 2010

Blend Creations’ signature piece is our original washi pendant — a fusion of East meets West is the reason we chose the name ‘Blend’. It’s available in a multitude of colors and patterns and you’re sure to find something for the person who’s told you ‘anything’ from Blend is on their wishlist.

For Friday, November 26th until Sunday, November 28th, use the code BLACKFRIDAY for 33% off ANYTHING you buy (with the exception of our Sweet Surprises or our Metal for Monsters).

Happy Shopping!

Gift idea 3 | For the sharp-dressed man

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

This is day 3 of our 10 days of gift ideas.  Take a look at days 1 and 2.

Since most offices these days are more ‘business casual’ than suit & tie, when the guy you know dresses to the nines, chances are, it’s a special occasion.  Why not make the bling he wears that much more special by getting him a pair of monogrammed cufflinks?  (You can use his initials, or even spell out ‘DAD’ if you need a gift from the kids!)

If he’s not the monogram sort, or likes a little fun there’s our emoticon cufflinks.  If he’s eco-minded, we’ve also got cufflinks with bamboo or cork inlay.

Take advantage of this gift idea and use the promo code GiftIdea3 to get 33% off* any cufflinks purchase. Just be forewarned, this promo code is good for TODAY ONLY and expires at midnight tonight.

*As with all promo codes, you can only use one per order.

This is day 2 of our 10 days of gift ideas.  Take a look at our first gift idea.

For the girl you know who appreciates clean lines and a simple, modern look, we suggest our Torus necklaces — a circle of stainless steel that highlights a colorful or textured accent:

If you need help in narrowing it down, might we suggest the modern take on the classic look of pearls with our Swarovski faux-pearl torus necklaces? (shown top right)

Shop news | 24h only: $50 of Blend Creations for $25 or less!

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

Jasmere is featuring Blend Creations on Thursday, November 18th at 12pm EST until Friday, November 19th at 11:59am EST. (Jasmere has been featured by magazines like Real Simple, Redbook and many others, and every day they feature an unbelievable deal with a specialty online vendor).

Today’s deal:

You can get a $50 voucher for Blend Creations for $25 or less*. You can even ‘stack’ up to 3 vouchers for a value of $150, but pay no more than $75.

If you love Blend Creations, it’s a great time to get yourself a little something, buy some vouchers for friends and family, and help us spread the word about our offer and our little company :)  It’s a fantastic deal — the best we’ve ever had in fact, but only available for 24 hours!

*The little details:
The final sale price of the voucher is determined by the number of people who buy: the more people who buy, the lower the price. The voucher must be purchased through Jasmere, and will be issued through Jasmere as a Blend Creations promotional code and can’t be applied to taxes or shipping, but our flat-rate shipping is only $5 to anywhere in the world. The voucher also won’t be valid with any other offer, nor is it valid on Metal for Monsters orSweet Surprises. But other than that, it’s all good!

… and a giveaway

As a welcome to everyone who’s discovering Blend Creations through Jasmere, we’ll be giving away a Torus necklace to one lucky Facebook fan!
