Gearing Up For The Big Game
The time has come football lovers (and supportive spouses); The Big Football Finale is less than two weeks away. Are you throwing a party, but don’t know where to begin? No worries, we’ve got some great ideas that will make party planning a breeze, and warrant your name being added to a trophy after all is said and done. Plus, if you impress your hubby and his friends with your hosting skills, it won’t be very hard to convince your man to sit with you through all the upcoming awards shows (score one for Team Mom).
Creating the Ultimate Viewing Experience
Last year you toyed with the idea of replacing your dinosaur of a television with one of those sleek LED models, but with two sets of braces and school sports uniforms to pay for the timing just wasn’t right. Luckily, we’ve found some amazing deals on TVs and sound systems, in addition to a furniture upgrade for your living room (it’s a win-win situation). BigOutlet.com is offering $20 off your $500 purchase, and they’ve got an assortment of LED, LCD and Plasma televisions available. BestBuy.com wants to make sure that the audio is just as grand as the crystal clear picture, so when you buy a Panasonic 42" Class LED 1080p Smart TV, you’ll get a free home theater sound system (which is an almost $400 value). Mom, use this opportunity to re-decorate, because right now select PotteryBarn.com furniture, including media stands, rustic coffee tables and lush couches, is up to 50% off.
Feed the Fans
Second to the television that the men are watching the game on, the food they are devouring (in between shouting and cheering) is of extreme importance. Don’t even think of planning a meal though, because plates full of appetizers will do just fine. Chefs.com wants to ease the cost of party planning by offering Cuisinart’s Chef’s Classic Fry Pans, in a range of sizes from 8-inch to 14-inch, which will fry up the bacon for your BLT sliders to perfection at 50% the original price. You can’t have savory snacks without some sweet ones as well, so visit DancingDeer.com and get 15% off your purchase of delicious brownies and old fashioned cookies.
And All that Jazz
The third piece to the perfect party puzzle is setting the scene. SportsAuthority.com wants you to wear your team colors with pride, so right now get select active wear and outerwear at 25% off. Will you be sporting blue or white on February 5th? Just like your clothing, all of the plates, cups and utensils must coordinate with the (future) winning teams’ colors, which is something that Kmart.com can help you arrange. They’re offering $5 off your $45 purchase, with no restrictions on what to buy, so go hog (or pigskin) wild. For the final touch that will set your party apart from all the rest, order some vintage sports magazines that feature your team’s number one player of all time on the cover and frame them for display. SportsMemorabilia.com has both vintage and new merchandise and with your $75 purchase, you can save 10%.
Go team!
