Thirty One Gifts
A friend of ours from high school is hosting a virtual Thirty One Gifts party, from which 100% of the profits (25% of each order) will be donated to BDSRA in Celia's honor. We gave, and received, Thirty One items at Christmas, and have been pleased and impressed with the products. If you're not familiar with Thirty One, the product line revolves mostly around an assortment of purses, totes and other kinds of bags for both practical and specialized use. Basic items are offered in different styles, sizes, colors, and patterns.
If you're interested, please visit http://www.mythirtyone.com/sola/
To make a purchase, click on "place an order" at the top of the page, then "place an order" on the right side of the next page. At this point you'll be at Celia's event page. Click "shop now" and then again on the next page select "shop now" to be directed to the inventory.
Celia's virtual party will begin February 1st and close February 27th.
Thirty One Gifts will be unveiling new fabrics in February, so the catalog/inventory will change on February 1st. The February special, detailed below, gives 31% off one item for every $31 spent. If you order during February, you will need to enter you credit /debit card info when you place your order, but it will not be charged until the event closes on the 27th. You may have your order shipped directly for $4, or have it shipped to Heather for free, and she will deliver or set up a time to meet.
If you would like to place an order with the current inventory that's fine! Contact Heather at 477-6225 or heather.sola@gmail.com and she will still donate the proceeds. (You just won't be able to enter orders through the website event until February.) The January Thirty One special is for thermal lunch totes: the larger ones are on sale for $10 with embroidery for $1.50, and the smaller ones are $8 with embroidery at $1.50. As a sneak peek, these totes are already being offered in the new Spring/Summer fabrics. If you're not familiar with Thirty One, the lunch totes are a great place to start...
Please don't hesitate to contact Heather with questions. She's delightful :)
Heather will also donate an additional $25 for any party (virtual or in-home) booked during Celia's event.
Our family is in no way being paid or perked for this endorsement. We are, however, very grateful that BDSRA may benefit. Big, BIG thanks to Heather.
