etnies Shoes and Clothes for the Whole Family

Tricia — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:03:29 +0000

My kids are hard on shoes. I don’t know if it’s the running, the dragging their feet on the swings, or just the fact that they are kids. I’m amazed at how flimsy kids’ shoes are usually made. Don’t the manufacturers understand what kids use them for? I was pleasantly surprised when I received a pair of etnies for my daughter and saw how incredibly well they are made. It’s clear that etnies understands that clothes and shoes are meant to be used…and hard! The soles are thick and the shoes are padded. And yet the pink made them just feminine enough for my little girly-girl.

If you haven’t checked out etnies yet, they are an incredible company and we are lucky to be adding them to our Sunshine Rewards shopping. Their tagline is “The Planet is our Playground” and their whole website just screams activity and motion. More than that, they care about so many causes. From donating to Autism Speaks to planting trees when you buy shoes, they are a moral company with purposes beyond revenue. Although etnies specializes in gear for skateboarders, anyone who is active will find something there that they love.

Check out the short video below and you can see the Sunshine Rewards kids in action in their new etnies. Then head over to etnies and you will find everything from men’s shorts to women’s sweatshirts to kids’ beanies. And don’t forget to check out Sunshine Rewards for etnies deals and cash back shopping.

Cleatskins Review from Sunshine Rewards

Tricia — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 21:14:46 +0000

Cleatskins

Does someone in your house play soccer, baseball, golf, football or another sport where they need special cleats? If so, Cleatskins are the perfect way to protect your investment in your shoes as well as keep your floors and car clean of the mud and debris that get stuck in the cleats.

Ashleigh’s daughter is a soccer player and she knows all too well what a pain it can be to get the kids to change shoes before and after practices and games. And yet, the cleats are too expensive to let the kids wear them back and forth. Plus, you don’t want them wearing them in the house and ruining your floors. Ashleigh and her daughter tried out Cleatskins and loved them! For about $20-$30 you can get a pair and choose from different styles, colors, and sizes.

Watch below to see how Cleatskins work and then visit Sunshine Rewards for Cleatskins coupons and discounts (including a current 10% off coupon).

She Shops Around 19: Spring Sports

Tricia — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:17:23 +0000

For the first time ever, we invited a guest to our She Shops Around Podcast. Roger Snow from Snow Consulting joined us to talk about three affiliate programs he manages that all have sports merchandise. It’s a good thing that we did because Cindy and I have a lot to learn about sports. A big thanks to Roger for answering so many of our questions!

Show Notes:

* What sports merchandise and memorabilia are hot right now? The Olympics are in full swing, hockey is mid-season, March Madness is upon us, and baseball spring training will be starting soon.
* OnlineSports.com has over 130,000 products from jerseys to collectibles to actual sports gear. They carry major league sports collectibles in addition to college merchandise (including smaller schools like Ball State!). Online Sports also has a great selection of NASCAR merchandise. (Earn 5% back at OnlineSports.com.)
* A great gift for a dad, husband, or son would be a sports watch from DiscountWatchStore.com. They have dive watches and other waterproof watches great for anyone who swims, dives, skis, or participates in water sports. They now have free shipping on every product and some amazing deals of the day. (Earn 4% back when you shop at DiscountWatchStore.com)
* Lastly we talked about InTheHoleGolf.com. The site is impressive in that it has the inventory and functionality of a big national company with the feel of a neighborhood pro shop. They test and review all of the products that they sell and specialize in equipment for the seasoned golfer. (Earn 4% cash back when you shop at InTheHoleGolf.com)

Remember to check Sunshine Rewards for cash back and coupons for all of the merchants we talked about in the podcast.

Finish Line and Skechers Shape Up Super Bowl Commercial

cindy — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 01:30:23 +0000

See the new Skechers Shape Up Super Bowl Commercial. They advertise that you can buy them through Finish Line, and for a limited time you can get free shipping on select Shape Ups.

We’d all love to be able to get a good workout just by walking. Skechers claims with its new Skechers Shape Ups that you can improve posture, tone muscles, and lose weight just by walking. The shoes were designed to stimulate walking on soft ground. This forces you to use muscles that you do not usually use when walking. I can definitely say that running on sand in Florida was much different than running at home in Indiana. But does it make a difference in how much you tone your muscles? Skechers Shape Ups come in a number of different styles including traditional sneakers, flip flops, and even boots.

Don’t forget that when you shop through your Sunshine Rewards account, you will earn 3% back on Finish Line purchases. Check out the Skechers Super Bowl commercial below.

She Shops Around 13: Ready for Some Football

Tricia — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:12:13 +0000

In what will go down as the most technically challenged podcast yet, we finally managed to pull off 30 minutes of talk about where to get NFL merchandise. Instead of our usual Skype (which we couldn’t use because my computer kept cutting out), we attempted a friend’s suggestion of a conference call site. It took us awhile to get the hang of it and by the time we actually started recording, we were laughing ourselves silly. For better or worse, here it is.

Show Notes:

A slight giggle fit that we had to work through before we could actually get to the discussion. Cindy found a way to work the Steelers into every sentence.
Angie talked about Fathead and how she decorated her rec/bonus room with all kinds of Colts memorabilia, including a larger than life Peyton Manning. Here’s the link to the Fathead video that we talked about. It shows how Angie incorporated the Fathead into her room. (Fathead coupons and 6% cash back)
Lots of stuff besides NFL at Fathead, including Disney characters and college teams. They also have some good specials going right now (and usually do).
I introduced Football Fanatics. Everyone agreed that they have the best variety of NFL merchandise from clothes to entertainment to decor. Despite some problems with merchandise, their customer service team has always come through with a way to remedy problems.
I admitted to owning one Colts shirt that she bought at Football Fanatics but only wears in the off season (but it is comfy and washes up nice). (Football Fanatics coupons and 5% cash back)
Flat rate shipping and the 10% Fanatics Rewards credits make it worth it to spend a lot of money there.
Lastly, cindy talked about NFL Shop. They have a great selection of jerseys, including the ability to personalize your own (like Cindy does for her dogs). They also have some “Legacy” jerseys of retired players and some neat outdoor games branded with teams. It’s easy to get addicted to buying from there. (NFL Shop coupons and cash back)

Surprisingly, no fights broke out about team wars. It could have been that Cindy and I would have double teamed Angie anyway.

She Shops Around 9: Summer Fun

Tricia — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:37:03 +0000

Summer has officially begun, and we wanted to review some of our favorite summer merchants. Although we kept with our same She Shops Around podcast format this time, we tried to incorporate some Sunshine Rewards forum feedback and keep the podcast at only 30 minutes. What do you think?

Show Notes:

* Cindy reviewed Bealls Department Store, a site that specializes in Florida fashion and housewares. No matter where you live, Bealls (pronounced “Bells”) is a great place to get summer clothes and outdoor items. Earn 3% back through Sunshine Rewards and check out our monthly Bealls coupons.
* Tricia walked through the KraftyKid.com website. Krafty Kid is an excellent place to get kits for your kids to use during the summer, at church, or for sleepovers. The kits come in different varieties, including bead kits for adults. Krafty Kid should also be looked at by scrapbook fans. Earn 10% back on purchases through Sunshine Rewards.
* Angie gave a nice overview of Eastern Mountain Sports. They frequently offer coupons and discounts on their wide variety of outdoor and athletic items. (EMS will even teach you how to build your own climbing wall, which I think Angie just might do). Earn 4% back through Sunshine Rewards and get some great Eastern Mountain Sports coupons.
* We announced the winner of the last podcast contest (Nina P!) along with a new contest.

Next podcast…summer travel sites.

Be a Good Sport with Dick’s Sporting Goods

angie — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 20:21:53 +0000

At our house, Spring means soccer, and soccer means shin guards, cleats, soccer balls, sleeve straps, head bands, extra socks, practice goals, goalie gloves, Gu, and the list goes on. With a sporty 11 year old, we spend a lot of time at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Soccer requires a lot of equipment, and with the wear and tear of league and tournament play and tons of practices, it seems we always need something.

Soccer not your thing? That’s okay! Dick’s Sporting Goods has a wide range of products including gear and accessories for exercise and fitness, team sports, golf, outdoor adventure and camping, and rec room. Dick’s even has a Fan Shop where you can find your officially licensed fan apparel and accessories. Sometimes you just want to be a well equipped spectator! You also won’t want to miss out on the incredible selection of fitness and sports apparel and athletic shoes.

Sunshine Rewards pays cash back on every purchase at Dick’s Sporting Goods. Right now, you can also receive 20% off of one item $125 and up or get free shipping on any golf order of $75 or more. So, get active this season. Dick’s Sporting Goods has what you need to be a good sport!

Sunshine Girls Play in the Football Fanatics Poker Tournament

Tricia — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:12:02 +0000

Last week we had the pleasure of participating in the first Football Fanatics Poker Tournament at the Affiliate Summit in Vegas. Although we didn’t win, it was a great opportunity to meet with some of the best and brightest in affiliate marketing. It was truly an honor to be invited.

Football Fanatics has been a great supporter of Sunshine Rewards since we began promoting them last year. In addition to running contests with us, they always have great coupons and discounts for our members. Don’t be fooled by the name–they offer more than just football merchandise. You can also find MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, and more.

Check out this quick video of Cindy, Angie, and me in the Poker Room at the Palms after we were eliminated from the tournament. Jason is our affiliate manager at Football Fanatics and always takes care of Sunshine Rewards!

Picture This: Poster XXL at Sunshine Rewards

angie — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:48:19 +0000

Are you looking for a cool Christmas gift? I just placed my first order with Poster XXL and am happy to report that I was very impressed with the quality. In researching merchants for our Sunshine Rewards Picture This promotion, I ran across Poster XXL. I thought it would be fun to order an action photo of my daughter playing soccer. She loves the game of soccer and will really think it is cool to have a poster of herself to display. I simply followed their easy three step process and within a few days had a wonderful gift to present for Christmas. The poster came on high quality premium paper. It is super brilliant in color and fade resistant, and the shipping was fast. In addition to the 18 x 24 poster, I also received a 12 x 16 for free just for placing my first order. Both posters were only $13.99. Now, that is a good deal! Add to that your 5% cash back when ordering through Sunshine Rewards, and you can’t go wrong.

Watch this video review and see for yourself. Don’t forget to check out our other photo merchants and order your photo gifts today!
