Fab Freebie: Roses Are Red
It’s almost Valentine’s Day and to show our love for you, we’re giving you flowers. Well, actually Teleflora is giving you flowers. And technically just one of you. But not just any flowers – $100 worth of flowers! So hopefully all the ladies reading are psyched at the sheer volume of flowers that could add up to (like something straight out of The Notebook). And to all the dudes reading, I’m secretly gunning for you because I know I’d like to look like the high roller who splurged to the tune of 100 beans on his other half this year (or just sat around enjoying them myself). So go get ‘em.

Okay folks, random.org has selected the two lucky winners of a $50 gift code. Although anyone can take advantage of the free extra pages code – GIFT3570 – through Feb 6th.

Congrats!
Remember the Petersik Family Yearbook that we mentioned last week? Well now the folks at MyPublisher are gonna hook up two of you with $50 to spend on your own family yearbook (or any photo book really).

Fab Freebie: Work Of Artichoke
***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Ready for the names of our two random winners? Just promise you won’t get emotional or anything. Don’t want anyone getting ‘choked up over this (sorry, couldn’t resist the pun I egregiously left out in the original post). Anyways, our two winners are… Bonney (who loves celery with peanut butter) and Kelly (who says if she can grow it in her garden, then she loves to eat it).
You know we’re always in the mood to browse cool, original art. And since we’ve had kitchens on the brain lately…. well Fine Artichoke is pretty much hitting all of the right notes. They curate a handpicked selection of food, drink, and kitchen-inspired limited edition prints. And two of you are gonna get $50 gift certificates to get something for your hungry walls, as they say. Prepare to drool – over the art and the flavors that inspired them.
