Fab Freebie: Let The Rain Fall Down

***This giveawy is no longer accepting entries***

By now you all probably know that we try to make the best out of a seemingly bad situation. So when someone tries to rain on your parade, what do we say? Catch it in a rain barrel and put that H2O to good use!

Which is why we’re super excited to bring you this week’s giveaway sponsored by The Rain Barrel Company. They sell a range of pro-sustainability products (composters, etc.) and this week they’re offering up one of their namesake products to one lucky reader…

RainBarrelCoCascastaTerraCotta

Yup it’s a fancy pre-made professional rain barrel which means you all can jump on the collect-your-own-rainwater bandwagon with us without even having to go barrel diving like I did. After all, who isn’t down with saving the planet and money on their water bill? Oh and you can learn more about these amazing pre-made rain barrels on the Rain Barrel Company website since the winner gets their pick of the bunch:

RainBarrelCompanyGiveawayOptions

  • PRIZE:  One of the three rain barrels (and stand) show above (either the Californian, Mocha Cascata or Terra Cotta Cascata, valued at $183 – $337 a pop!)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “RAIN ON ME!” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: Tell us your favorite way to make the most of a rainy day. Do you catch a movie? Curl up with a book (or blog)? Or just sit and dream about filling up a rain barrel?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One and only one
  • PRIZE SHIPS: USA and Canada
  • 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!

PS: Anyone catch the subtle Hilary Duff / Laguna Beach theme song reference in the title? Yeah, um, me neither..

    Rain on me!

    Rainy days are good for relaxing around the house, reading a book, watching a movie, and just spending time with my wife.

    P.S. — We just bought a composter from Rain Barrel Company and love it. Totally recommended.

    Rainy days are cuddle days. And also book reading and paper grading days. Mostly cuddling, though, can’t get enough of the cuddle.

    RAIN ON ME!

    The best way to spend a rainy day is to sleep in, wake up and read in bed, and then make my way over to the couch, where I will spend the rest of my day watching TV or movies with the soundtrack of raindrops against the patio.

    (those are really nice looking.) on rainy days, it’s great to curl up with a good book. in fact, when i was a kid, i would make a deal with my mom that i could stay home on the first rainy day of the school year (in california, usually october). ok, well, i’m just taking a break from…painting my kitchen cabinets, with help from you guys and your how-to (gracias)!

    I’ve been searching for a great deal on a rain barrel, so this would be the BEST deal.

    I like to work on my novel, pick my banjo, or read a good book when the blues hit. Or just daydream. I could daydream all day! :-)
