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!

    My wife and I don’t like to do gifts, we like to save up for bigger purchases for the house. Both of our birthdays are in June, so we splurge on one big item together.

    For my birthday, I would love to have an adult sleepover with lots of sleeping bags, popcorn, and Clueless.
    This seems increasingly unlikely as my friends husband and baby up, but a girl can dream!

    BIRTHDAY ME

    All I asked for my birthday last year was a Baskin-Robbins’ ice cream cake. My husband went all sorts of wonderfully crazy with lavish gifts . . . but he forgot the ice cream cake! hahaha Poor guy. So this year, I want him to take on no stress and only spend money on an ice cream cake!

    I’d love a guitar for my birthday. I’ve been dropping this hint forever and my husband did once give me a guitar — but I was 8 mos pregnant and couldn’t reach the strings, then I had a new baby, then I had another baby, then I didn’t have time for the guitar and it was snatched up by my niece. Now I am ready for a guitar!
