Use kwiry to Avoid Fees for Checking Bags

First of all, apologies for not posting in so long, has been quite a busy time here at kwiry, lot’s of exciting news to come!

Now, to explain that cryptic title….Our latest It’s On Us Promotion winner is Ross D. from San Francisco, CA.  Ross and his girlfriend Abby R. were on vacation in Vermont and browsing in a bookstore when they came across Crafty Mama by Abby Pecoriello (different Abby).  They thought the book would be perfect for a friend of theirs who is expecting.  Normally, they would have just bought the book, but owing to the recently imposed fees by the airlines for checking even 1 piece of luggage, they had no room in their carry-ons.  So they used kwiry to save the day and sent a quick kwiry to make sure to remember to buy it online later. Instead of just saving the $15 or $20 checked bag fee, though, they got the book for free thanks to the kwiry promotion!

Here’s some more info about the book, which once again harkens back to our parenting meme…

“Abby Pecoriello launched the first-ever crafting club for new moms during her maternity leave. The concept proved to be such a hit that in the two and a half years since, she’s led hundreds of sold-out Crafty Mamas classes throughout New York City. Now, in this spirited, witty book, she provides the how-to for women to form their own Crafty Mamas groups, from learning the best ways to reach out to other new moms in the area, to the nuts-and-bolts of running the group: setting a budget, buying tools and supplies, choosing a venue, and more. Then come the projects—50 hip, no-sew craft ideas that are inexpensive and easy to make, and will delight moms and babies alike: “Light the Night” nightlight, No-Sew Swanky Blankies, The Poncherello, Photo Au Go Go Bracelets, Hip Purses, Insta-Bibs, Peek-a-Books, Photo Bragnets. Includes simple tutorials on using a glue gun, editing digital photos, how to decoupage, jewelry basics, and more.” (Product description from Amazon)
