Fab Freebie: Delight Box
***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
Sherry and I always love browsing through those quirky little gift stores that every town seems to have (Richmonders, think Mongrel in Carytown). We’re always bound to come across an eclectic assortment of smartly designed trinkets that inevitably make us think “Oh, this would be a perfect gift for XXXX.” Well, Delight.com is pretty much the online version of that fun shopping experience and we’re thrilled to have them sponsoring this week’s giveaway!
We loved that Delight.com organizes their products by theme (“Luxe!“), occasion (“Engagement and Wedding“) and even type of recipient (“The Traveler“). They even have a special focus on eco-friendly products, which always scores major points with us. And in case you’re the type who just likes to learn about fresh new swag, they highlight a fun, new product every day (and even throw in a special 24-hour discount). So in that generous spirit, they’re giving away two of these modern metal toolboxes from Alice Supply Co. (available in a slew of different colors and patterns) to two lucky Young House Love readers. How’s that for DIYing in style?
- PRIZE: Your choice of one Alice Supply Co. toolbox from Delight.com (valued at $47 – $59)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “DELIGHT ME” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: Tell us the strangest or quirkiest gift you’ve ever received – whether it was something you unexpectedly loved or one that continues to puzzle you.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, July 8th at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two lucky ladies/lads
- ELIGIBILITY: Prize ships to the USA only
- THE USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

DELIGHT ME!
DELIGHT ME… I went through a phase in high school where I liked all things Betty Boop…. I’m 30 years old now and still get Betty Boop-related things every once in a while… It’s still sweet that people remember!
Delight me!!
No strange gifts here.
However, when it comes to a most delightful gift, I admit to stealing the idea of fresh flowers each month for a year! LOVED that idea!!!
I wonder what young, hip couple thought of it??!!!!! ;)
DELIGHT ME
For my wedding (fits right in with your theme this week, eh?) some relatives got us a CD of some guy known as The Human Flute. It was a whole CD of whistling. Whistling! So odd.
Delight me.

A rubber band armed monkey that yells when it hits something was perhaps the strangest gift I’ve ever gotten, but quite an entertaining gift as well…
Delight Me! I’m not sure if this is the most unusual gift, but it is a little quirky….for our recent one year anniversary in June, my husband surprised me with a professional oil painting of our beloved Yorkie Terrier. He noted that he considered getting one made of us instead, but figured I would rather have Roxy! He was right :)
Delight me!!
quirky gift huh?! Maybe the sunflower seeds my hubby gets every year for Christmas from his parents… just b/c they have the same name “David” …odd, but now a solid tradition!
Delight Me! Strangest gift? Hmmm. Nothing I can really remember. My family always gives pretty good gifts!
DELIGHT ME!
A Snowman soap dispenser for my birthday in August…
Delight me….and can’t wait to put my trusty me-sized hammer in one of those cute little tool boxes.
“DELIGHT ME!”
DELIGHT ME!!
Delight Me!
I couldn’t really think of a quirky gift exactly, but twice my husband has set up a scavenger hunt on Christmas morning where I had to follow clues to find my present. He did this with small sized gifts, like jewelry.
Delight me!

My grandma got me an electric pencil sharpener for Christmas when I was about 8 years old. I was a little puzzled why she thought that would be a good gift. But, man, did it come in handy when I went to college! :)
Please DELIGHT ME, unlike the cracked ceramic angel nightlight my aunt gave me for Christmas when I was in High School. Uh, I don’t use a nightlight anymore, Aunt J!
Delight me!
And I’ve gotten a few strange gifts that I was not so fond of, but they were all given with good intentions… so instead of dwelling on those – I got a green hedgehog statue a few years back. COMPLETELY odd, and I TOTALLY LOVE IT. :)
Delight Me!

Delight me! My favorite gift was a snazzy screwdriver from my husband. I use it all the time!
Delight me!
Quirkiest gift was from my sister….a set of cat butt refrigerator magnets.
DELIGHT ME!
My husband’s uncle gave us delicate, porcelain figurine of a skunk crawling out of a hollow log as a wedding gift. Not a cute Disney-type skunk, just a skunk. The contrast of the workmanship and the subject matter is striking and a little baffling. I’m not sure if it was meant as some kind of metaphor, but it is definitely the strangest gift we’ve ever received.
Delight me!
This past Christmas, my mother in law made me a matching set of coasters and trivets from circles of beige carpet glued to a metal canning lid, with ribbon hot-glued around the edge to finish it off. “It’s the thought that counts”.
Delight me!
The strangest gift I ever got is probably a (nearly flamable) polyester nightshirt with a fuzzy kitten on the front in a size triple X.
DELIGHT ME!
DELIGHT ME!
The oddest gift I’ve ever received was actually a family christmas gift…. it was a ham and candy combo. We received a small honey ham and a siploc bag of what can only be described as 3 pounds of leftover Halloween candy! Perhaps the oddest part was that it was from my grandparents (who always gave decent gifts before, and after, that Christmas)!
Delight Me!!!

Quirkiest gift was from my then boyfriend… a padded toilet seat. Details aren’t necessary, but he truly thought that it was a thoughtful birthday gift. :-)
delight me – when i turned 16, my cousin made me a necklace that consisted of 2 beads on a piece of yarn. one of the beads had a #1 on it, and the other had a #6. he was quick to point out that i could rewear the necklace when i celebrated my 19th birthday… and my 61st… and my 91st :)
Delight ME, please!! :)
Hmm…odd gift…
Oh, okay, so for my bridal shower, my MIL gave me a book called Home Comforts : The Art and Science of Keeping House. Yes, that’s right. My future MIL gave me a “How to keep my son’s home happy and clean” book. :) I will give her that she gave it with a disclaimer that she wasn’t insinuating anything about my skills, but that she herself had found the book EXTREMELY useful. And after nearly 10 years, I have used the book so much that it actually fell apart, so I guess it was useful after all!
Delight me!
I’m an almost newlywed (7 weeks to go!) and the resident handy-person. Additionally, I have a rental house, and since I like to do all things in style, I’d love to show up for repairs with an uber-chic toolbox.
We’ve received one wedding gift so far and it is extremely odd….. A clipboard customized with a photo of my groom as an awkward pre-teen. I love it and it cracks me up, but I’m wondering if the elderly woman who had it made and sent it to us meant it to be ironic, or serious? In any case, it will always make me smile!

DELIGHT ME! After my gpa died my gma gifted me her old (I mean really old and worn)lingrie. She thought it was special that I inherited the big granny panties and long silky gowns. She even mentioned I wear them on my wedding night. Dont worry- this did not happen. I tossed them out after I told her I loved them. I recycle but I recycling old panties is not appropriate.
DELIGHT ME! Let’s see…an odd gift….I’ve gotten plenty. I got a homeade belt kit (I.e. a dead snake coiled up in a shirt box) on my 16th birthday. For my first Christmas with my husband, my mother-in-law gave me corn on the cob holders. You the kind that look like little ears of corn. Why?
I’m a teacher so I get lots of odd things from my students (mostly used), but I love handmade cards and letters from them. My new favorite is one my boys writing me a note letting me know that I’m his SECOND favorite teacher!
Delight me!
I once participated in a grab bag for a Christmas party. I was the last to pick out my “gift.” Which ended up being a green frog candle that was wrapped in a paper towel and tied up with thread. The candle by the way was used.
DELIGHT ME!!
When I was 5 years old, I received a box of band-aids from a little girl. We have it on video. I just seem confused…still am. :)

One time I got a squawking rubber chicken for my birthday. It was neat.

A few years back, my uncle gave me two cases of Top Ramen (one of which was shrimp-flavor, which I don’t like), and two boxes of canned-sliced button mushrooms. Also, he gave me a long-distance calling card.
He is autistic, so he has never really explained the significance of this gift….

My brother and I once received a didgeridoo from our Grandfather. Ya know, one of those Australian pipe instruments?! Very, very random, but cool at the same time :)
