The (RED) Thread - Discuss Products Only!

I went to the GAP (RED) site today and picked up several of the SHA(RED) candles for presents down the road (they're only $4.99 right now), 2 of the white leather bracelets (reminds me if ONE white bands) and two of the brown/black leather bracelets with the red beads on them.


I was also able to use a 10% off coupon from Gap which really helped my purchase since I'm in one of those few states in the USA that has to pay sales tax on Internet purchases.



My next purchase will be some of the (RED) baby onesies since I have a friend who is getting married soon and who loves (RED).


Buying (RED) makes one feel so good.

I bought another ado(red) onesie this past weekend for my pregnant sister. it was so tiny I couldn't help but say 'awwww' in the store

 

[JCOSTER]

I had bought the 0 -3 months for my new niece I have to get a picture of her!

 

[kassandra]

The onsies are so soft and comfy for the newborns. I have to get the next size for my grandson, he grew out of the 0-3 already!

 

[Jamila]

I have bought the Delive(red) onesie for the newborns,
the Diape(red) onesie for 12 months old and the Ado(red) onesie for the 24 months old - and my daughter won't even get married until next June!


I couldn't help myself either - they're just too dang cute and my daughter loves to support (RED).



Thanks for everyONE's support of (RED) to support the Global Fund. (www.theglobalfund.org)

I recently bought a scarf on eBay, it's super long and that unique sort of faded red color and it says Hamme(red) on it. I cannot wait to wear it when we are in Dublin in late October!

Oh and my sister got me a Red candle for Christmas and I burned it quickly, it smelled soooooooo good!

Aww.

I saw the onesies in GAP Manchester a few weeks ago for the first time. They are the most adorable thing. If only i knew someone who was pregnant.

 

[U2Girl416]

this is *slightly* off topic, but hopefully not by much....a friend suggested that I incorporate (RED) into my centerpieces or favors for my wedding next year. any thoughts? it'd be a neat idea but could get costly very quick as well.

*if this question shouldn't be in this thread, people could PM me too*

U2Girl416, please refer to this info sheet from (RED) on what they ask their supporters to do and not to do in their support of (RED).


I think that you have a good idea but might just need more info on how to make your wedding a bit more (RED).


I hope that the info sheet helps.

 

[JCOSTER]

U2Girl416; that's a great idea. After checking with what Jamila had posted, if they come out with new candles that would be a nice touch on a table or maybe you can incorporate a red card on your table or with a favor like the ones here that have to do with love or hearts.

I never was able to find the new Armani RED fragrance... Anyone know of any stores that definitely sell it?

 

[waynetravis]

^ Canadaland sells it.

Maybe its only a UK/Canada thing

 

[bonocomet]

I was beginning to think that too... I checked every major dept store and small store that sells fragrance with no luck. I couldn't even find one that had heard of it.

 

[waynetravis]

Here is the webiste for it:

http://www.inspiredfragrances.com/_en/_ww/index.aspx

But it only says UK only to buy it online.

What exactly is the name of the fragrance? Coz know of a shop near me that sells Armani perfumes and I would like to see if I can order it through them but I need to know exactly what to ask for.

 

[waynetravis]

It's Armani White (RED) Special Edition, I think.

Definetly Armani White

 

[bonocomet]

Thanks wt I'll check it out but I'm beginning to think I won't be able to get it.

bonocomet (and everyONE else), look what I just found on the (RED) website in their BLOG(RED):


I’m no artist, but Emporio Armani’s new site INSPIREDFRAGRANCES.COM is helping me paint myself (RED)!


You can do it too: Be an INSPI(RED) artist and create an exclusive work of art to spread the word about (PRODUCT) RED! It’s simple and fun…



Go to INSPIREDFRAGRANCES.COM to vote for your favorite (RED) art, or design your own....


Let us know which ones you like by voting on the site!

I highly encourage everyONE here to check out this website and see what's new with Armani for (RED).

Look what I found in my local newspaper's Sunday edition of PARADE magazine:

[Giving Back]


Buying for a Cause

“Buy a (RED) T-shirt to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa” is proving to be a savvy selling strategy. Spending by consumers on such “cause marketing”—for everything from yogurt to T-shirts to Cartier watches—has risen from $120 million to $1.45 billion a year since 1990, according to Carol Adelman of the Hudson Institute.


How much of each sale actually reaches those in need? It varies. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria says it gets up to 50% of the profits from the sales of various (RED) products. Some charities receive less than 5%. Others claim that they get 100% of the profits from sales, but of course it’s usually more effective to donate directly to a charity.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


I thought that it was GREAT advertising for (RED) to be featured in this newspaper supplement that goes all around the USA in Sunday editions.


If anyone is so inclined and has the time, it would be nice to thank them for highlighting (RED) in their supplement.




Who knows - maybe they would give MORE SPACE in their edition to (RED) the next time around!

My baby second-cousin, Brady, is being christened on Labor Day weekend. I was in the GAP and found 2 (RED) onesies--one said ADO(RED) and the other read DIAPE(RED).
I couldn't help myself. I had to buy them for Brady as a gift.

There's an American Express (RED) Card. I want it so bad, but you have to have a permanent address in the UK.
You people in the UK are so lucky.
