Fab Freebie: Sherry’s Birthday Wish

***This giveaway has reached its cap and is now closed – see who won below!***

You guys shut this puppy down with 10,000 entries in less than a day. Wow! So we’ve already selected our random winner. She is… Rhonda (who thinks she’s gonna ask for a juicer – to go along with her Christmas blender). Congrats!

Tomorrow is Sherry’s 31st birthday. So a few weeks ago I asked her if she wanted to do anything special giveaway-wise to celebrate. She looked dreamily towards the sky, a smile spread across her face, and she said “I want to do a Jonathan Adler giveaway and I want a picture of him holding ceramic animals and grinning like a fool. Because we are kindred spirits. That would pretty much make my year.”

A week later this photo appeared in my inbox:

Jonathan Adler Giveawy Ceramic Animals

The girl wanted a Jonathan Adler giveaway (you can read more about her love of the guy here) and the girl got it. The wonderfully cheerful people of Jonathan Adler were completely down with the idea (and the ceramic-animal-centric photo, apparently) so they’ve offered up a whopping $500 for one lucky winner to spend on whatever they’d like – animal or otherwise. Beyond obsessing over his white ceramic creatures, Sherry shares his love of poppy patterns, colorful accents, and chic accessories that don’t take themselves too seriously. So, um, happy birthday to one of you!

Jonathan Adler Giveaway Moodboard

  • PRIZE: A $500 gift card to Jonathan Adler
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BIRTHDAY ME” and tell us…

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway is available worldwide!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, March 20th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

    BIRTHDAY ME! This birthday will be my first as a mummy (of twins) so I will be wishing for a little baby sitting pressie so I can let my hair down for a couple of hours with friends. I would love to treat myself to a splurge for my little nest too. So this prize would really be a gift to myself!

    My biggest wish for my birthday this year is to NOT spend it at the hospital (my due date is 3 days after my birthday.) I’m turning 30 and I want to party as much as being that close to delivery will allow :)

    And Sherry, have a great birthday!!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday is next week and I want my mom to give me this antique children’s potty chair. She wanted to sell it because it actually worth money, but I want to keep if for our future children. I loved learning how to go to the bathroom in the ‘big girl potty chair’ growing up and I want to have it for my kids.
