Fab Freebie: Things We Love
***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
After an excitement and entry filled holiday giveaway we’ve crowned our big winner. Well, random.org has crowned a winner. And she is… Nina (who’s planning to soak up and celebrate the magic of the season with her toddler, babe, and hubs this week as well as do some gift wrapping, toy assembling, and cookie baking by the light of the tree). Congrats!
Oprah has Favorite Things. Martha has Good Things. We have Things We Love (okay, so maybe it’s not as catchy or scream-and-cry-on-national-TV-worthy, but we tried). The point is that we’ve rounded up five prizes that we heart, covering a whole range of topics that we love talking about ’round these parts – from art and tools to cleaning and ceramic animals. All in all, it’s nearly $750 worth of goodies for one lucky reader! So without further ado, here’s what one of your stockings will get stuffed with this week:
- An iRobot Scooba 230 – A compact floor washing robot from the makers of Roomba that’s small enough to get under cabinets and around commodes (worth $299!). Because less time spent scrubbing your floors means more time spent DIYing.
- An $150 gift certificate from 20×200 – One of our favorite spots for fresh original art, including the bicycle print that my sisters got me for my birthday last month. There are lots of ways to spend your $150, like splurging for a framed piece.
- Over $200 worth of Kreg Tools – The stuff that gives me the confidence to take on my woodworking projects (this set includes the Kreg Jig Master System and Multi-Mark as well as new stuff that I don’t even have: the Shelf Pin Jig and Square-Cut) – all worth $215!
- The ceramic pig speaker from West Elm – You already know that we love this often back-ordered guy, so we begged the folks at West Elm to put one aside for the winner.
- And A Very She & Him Christmas CD (or LP) and winter hat – You’ll need some music to listen to on your new pig speaker, right? And we’re loving these festive tracks from Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward.
So now that we’ve outlined the prize, here are the regular giveaway details:
- PRIZE: See above
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “HAPPY HOLIDAYS!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what’s on your holiday agenda for the next week? Do you have lots of last minute shopping / cleaning / cooking to do? Are you traveling? Or are you just sitting back and waiting for a certain red-suited man to hop down your chimney (like Clara)?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 21st at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Lots of cooking!
“HAPPY HOLIDAYS!” What a wonderful giveaway! Not a lot of holiday prep left to do this week here–just trying to finish up a lot of stuff at work so I can take the next week off, while hosting the in-laws at our house this week, wrapping and mailing gifts, and prepping to travel over Christmas with two young kids and two young dogs. I guess that is kind of a lot! At least all my shopping is done! I’ll be glad when Christmas gets here!
Treat making marathons most nights this week, just in time to settle down and celebrate with family on Christmas Eve!
Happy Holidays!
Lots of last minute shopping this week still to go, then family time all weekend long. Next week though? Sleeping in, lounging around the house and playing with my new toys!
Happy Holidays! So much left to do – cleaning for my mother to visit, last minute stocking stuffers,tons of wrapping, baking, and cooking, and finally a trip to see the in-laws the day after Christmas.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Looking forward to finishing my daughter’s dollhouse! It’s going to be FANTASTIC to see her face on Christmas morning…

This week I’ve just got to wrap up Christmas shopping and work . But next week, I’ll get to spend time with family and see my parents’ new place in Houston. I can’t wait to see them again (I haven’t seen them since September) – they used to live an hour and a half away, so it’s been tough with them being so far away.
Happy Holidays! Will be finishing up last minute shopping and can’t wait to all of next week off of work to spend time with my family!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! I have to work all week and still have shopping to do. Trying to work up the courage to brave the masses :).

I *was* going to be doing some last minute cleaning and wrapping before the in-laws arrive. Now I have to do that AND nurse a 2-year-old with bronchitis. Poor baby! But I am looking forward to Christmas. My son was only 25 days old for his first and last year was kind of oblivious, but this year he is getting excited and realizes something big is happening!
shoot – forgot the HAPPY HOLIDAYS! part! :)
