I’m being tortured. As I write this. There aren’t any sharp knives, and there’s no dripping water. There are cookies…and lots of them! (I know, I know. It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it. May I have a cookie while writing this? It’s for inspiration, of course!)

Don’t just feast your eyes on the delectable assortment from Dancing Deer Baking Co. Order your Cookie Monster stash today for a tasty 15% off goodies and gifts until May 31! Just use the limited-time coupon to save on the Milk Chocolate Chai Chew and more.

Have a soft cloth handy? You’ll need it to wipe the drool off your keyboard when you see these yummy desserts:

• Deluxe Spring Cookie Tower - Includes bunny-shaped cookies that look so adorable, you won’t want to eat them (but then you do & in one sitting)
• Gingerbread House Kit - Even if it looks perfect, you’ll still eagerly anticipate demolishing it
• Chocolate Chunk Brownie - Moist & decadent, it is chocolate royalty

Even if you ate the whole table at the buffet, you’ll always have room for dessert when you have cookies, brownies, and cakes from Dancing Deer Baking Co.

Aside from flashing your bright pearly whites, what’s the next best thing you can do to make yourself sparkle on the dance floor? That’s easy – deck yourself out with the brilliance of diamonds! It’s doesn’t take Elizabeth Taylor to tell you that.

Looking like a million bucks doesn’t have to cost that much, thanks to the free coupons from Montgomery Ward. Enjoy 20% off all diamond jewelry if you redeem them by February 29!

Make the most of your neckline, and show off that killer rock at the same time. Below are a couple suggestions:

V-Neck

Fill that bare space with a necklace that drops down a bit lower, like the Eugene Biro Diamond Double Ovals Pendant, which balances out your look.

Scoop Neck

You have 2 options here. You can either go for a super-short necklace that sits above the neckline, or choose a super-long necklace that drapes much lower. The ideal length of the Diamond Shooting Star Accent Pendant and its whimsical charm make it a winner.

For affordable sparkling treasures, head to Montgomery Ward today!
