March 7th – This day in history, enjoy savings on stationery, designer clothing and tennis equipment.

1876 – Alexander Graham Bell Patents the Telephone – Sure, this made life so much more convenient, but I’m guessing love letters slowed down then. Technology has made things so instantaneous nowadays which is great, but it takes the romance out of things. For example, instead of clicking on the mouse to send a quick “I love you” e-mail, write a note and place it on her car seat with a rose. It’s the same message but delivered in a romantic way. I’m still grateful to you, Mr. Bell, but some things are better said in letters than on the phone. So, use exclusive Expressionery.com coupons to save 20% on stationery like note pads, post-its, envelopes and more.

1939 – Glamour Magazine Begins Publishing Issues – Magazines are the best place to get all the fashion ideas you need.

There are so many ways to shop there like Shop by Designer, Shop by Trend or Shop by Top 10 which are choices taken right out of the fashion mags you love to read! Use our free Singer 22 coupons for free shipping on selected designer names!

1970 – Beatles Release Let It Be in UK – When I watch old concert videos of the Beatles in action, I see tons of women faint or cry hysterically. I asked my mom if she ever fainted in the presence of the Beatles, and she said she wasn’t allowed to go to concerts. She also stated that had she went, she believed she would’ve behaved just like the other crazed girls, which might be why my grandma refused to let her go. For all you crazed Beatles fans out there, use our free Wolfgangs Vault coupons to save 20% on Beatles t-shirts and 10% on memorabilia like posters, prints, and more!
