Brylane Home Gift

I sent in an order for a free gift from Brylane Home last week, and I received my gifts last night! I just wanted to post some pictures of the great things I got!

You can read about the offer here (Thank you moneysavingmethods.blogspot.com!).

I received a 5 pc knife set with a cutting board.

I also received an 8-pc salad set. I will post the picture of that later. The bowl was cracked when it arrived, but I called BrylaneHome customer service and they were more than happy to replace the item. It should be arriving within five days.

I received 2 more items as well. An 11-pc utensil set with a holder and a cereal-on-the-go "bowl". It is so neat- and FREE!






Be sure to check out moneysavingmethods.blogspot.com for more offers like this! I just love getting free stuff in the mail :).
