Black Friday Frenzy

Black Friday is here!

Did you ever wonder how it all got started? Well, traditionally, the day after Thanksgiving has been the BIG shopping kick off for Christmas, but the term “Black Friday” actually started in 1966 by Philadelphia Police Department to describe the massive traffic jams in the downtown area. The term gained more popularity through the years, as it caught on as the biggest shopping day of the year (and the biggest headache, for some), and the beginning of the Christmas festivities. Personally, I enjoy all the chaos.

We want to do our part, so we are also offering a Black Friday sale this weekend of 25% OFF and FREE shippingnow through Sunday! We hope you will check out our shop! You just might discover that perfect gift for someone on your list!

Since it is Thanksgiving, we just want to say we are thankful for all of you! Thanks for following us, sharing your thoughts, and visiting our blog.  

Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Warmly,
Bonnie & Rachel


Our Big, Fat Giveaway + BLACK FRIDAY

This {GiVeAWaY} is now ended.  We will post the winner, as soon as we get verification. :)

Well, Thanksgiving is tomorrow and, just as we’ve promised, we’re doing our “Big, Fat Giveaway”…our biggest one of the year, actually. This is a Giveaway in appreciation of our FACEBOOK FANS, so our only requirement is that if you’re not already one of our amazing fans, please consider becoming a fan of the TLC Inspirations Facebook Page. We’re only interested in acquiring true, long-term fans, and they will be well rewarded with handmade news, blog updates, deals, giveaways, and great finds. We promise we’ll make it worth your while.

Now, here’s the {BIG} part: YOU CHOOSE YOUR PRIZE!!!
Here’s a “sample” of items currently available in our store (prizes may be other than what’s shown here, as items sell and new items are listed)….

To enter, please post your favorite holiday memory from your childhood (in a “comment”, below). It need not be long, but something that sticks out in your mind as special time. We can’t wait to read all of the entries! A winner will be chosen at random, but whoever is chosen will have the unique prospect of choosing whatever they’d like from our store…old, new, expensive, whatever. It’s YOUR CHOICE. You can’t beat that with a stick!

If you’d like additional entries (up to five), please promote the giveaway online in any way you can and post a new comment (with link) for each promotion. Contest ends at noon, December 9th.

Ok, now on to the money-saving. Black Friday officially starts at 12:01am, this Friday and our sale goes through 11:59pm Monday night. During this event, TLC Inspirations’ Handmade Gift and Accessories Shop will be MARKING DOWN most of our items, offering FREE worldwide shipping and FREE gift wrapping (upon request) on EVERYTHING in our store.

I think that qualifies as a pretty kickin’ sale, so leave all the other people to get up at 3am and head to the mall for not-so-killer deals and, instead, with slippers on and coffee in hand, click on over to TLC Inspirations and take advantage of some super savings. While you’re at it, check out many of the wonderful handmade items alive and well at Etsy. Many are participating in this weekend’s sale, so take your time and ease into the holidays with grace and style :)
