Update @ 11 pm CT: Just visit AmericanGreetings.com and scroll down, look for the ad (shown at left) near the bottom right that says “Get Your Free Gift Today” and click on it to register for your free photo gift! No registration is required, you don’t have to log in – you just need to click on that ad to get your unique coupon code. Choose your free photo gift and remember that if you choose the $25 credit you will still have to pay shipping (shipping is included if you choose one of the three photo gifts).
If you don’t see the ad, try refreshing and also read the comments left on this post for tips from others. I’ve also heard that using Firefox as your browser is working to help get that ad to display!
Write down your coupon code because when I tried to print it the coupon code didn’t actually print (left a blank spot where the code should have been). You’ll have until December 31 to redeem your unique coupon code. I choose the photo calendar – what did you pick as your free photo gift?
Tip: It’s a really busy time on Photoworks today so you may want to wait to have a better experience designing and ordering your free photo gift.
********************************************************************************
Starting on Tuesday, December 1 the first 20,000 who register at AmericanGreetings.com will get a free photo clutch book, 25 holiday cards, or an 11×8 calendar from Photoworks (includes free shipping). If you don’t want one of those three photo gifts, you also have the option to get a $25 credit (not valid on prints or towards shipping). So the three photo gifts include free shipping, and with the $25 credit you’ll have to pay the shipping cost no matter what you order. Thanks goes to Common Sense with Money for the details on this time-sensitive offer!
Here’s the value of the freebies they are offering, so you can choose which one you want and plan ahead a little. You may even want to upload a few photos to Photoworks today and start designing because tomorrow I’m sure their site will be running slower than usual. I’m not sure how long you’ll have to redeem the coupon code, but it would be nice to place your order this week if you’re planning on using this photo gift as a Christmas gift.

ecoTOOLS™’ latest venture: a collaboration with accomplished actress and environmental activist Alicia Silverstone to produce a brand-new cosmetic bag collection, ecoTOOLS™ by Alicia Silverstone.

Launching in December 2009 at Walgreens and Target stores, the line includes a complete set of five cosmetic bags, ranging from a brush bag with a brush set to an overnight bag. The perfect addition to holiday travel or a stylish stocking stuffer, each bag is produced with a natural hemp material and uses a recycled PET lining. Renowned for its environmentally-friendly cosmetic brushes, bath accessories, and new bath & body care collection, ecoTOOLS™enters unchartered territory with an eco-conscious set of cosmetic bags. This holiday season, Alicia and ecoTOOLS™ will show how simple it is to be eco-friendly and fabulous, one sustainably stylish step at a time.
As ecoTOOLS™ continued to grow, parent company Paris Presents, Inc. aspired to extend its reach further. Not only were they looking to inspire consumers by taking small, but smart, steps towards making the world a greener place, but they were also searching for a voice to exemplify that message. The solution was simple: cultivate a relationship with a solid spokesperson and develop products that would be accessible, affordable and beautiful. As an avid fan of ecoTOOLS™ and notable environmental activist, Alicia Silverstone was a natural choice.
With ecoTOOLS™ by Alicia Silverstone, it’s never been easier to be green and gorgeous. The collection, which features some of Alicia’s favorite flowers, offers sleek design, natural materials and fabulous functionality.
The giveaway will conclude December 15th.
Note: The winner will be randomly chosen through Random.org.
Winner must respond within 72 hours of notification.
