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!

    BIRTHDAY ME! For my next birthday, I’d like to do something very quiet–this year I celebrated a milestone birthday in a big way. Just my close family and a nice dinner, as long as I don’t have to cook it. :-)

    BIRTHDAY ME!

    I don’t usually expect anything super special. A nice dinner out at my favorite place with my boyfriend picking up the tab is perfect. This last year he finally heard my plea for something made of gold and/or diamonds, so this year will be toned down some, per my request. Maybe just an extra special dinner at a fancy place!

    Sherry! You and I share March 19th as our birthday – I knew there was a reason I like you :) Of course you were born in the year I graduated from high school – Ha! Happy Chic Birthday to you! And me!

    For my birthday there will be gooey chocolate cake and flowers. Then later this week a trip to the NEW Hobby Lobby store that is finally opening in Tucson :)

    My birthday wish is for pie. My family thinks no birthday is complete without cake and that pie is an unacceptable substitute. So much for the birthday girl getting her way!
    Happy birthday to Sherry!

    I would love to have a “me” day for my upcoming birthday. As a mom of a 2year old and and newborn I don’t get any. Although it is my big 3 0 birthday so it would be fun to have a big celebration with friends.

    My birthday always falls on Labor Day weekend so being a huge nerd, I like to spend my birthday at DragonCon every year. My husband attending the Con with me and tolerating all my sci-fi obsessions is gift enough for me.

    Birthday ME!!!!!
    I just celebrated my Birthday on March 5th. And all I wanted was for it to be extra special as it is my last one before our baby arrives in May! Hubby and I decided a nice dinner out would be perfect! We wouldn’t you know the coupons for Mc Donald’s happened to show up in the mail that day. So as we got in the car he proceeded to drive to what I thought was one of my favorite restaurants only to turn into Mc D’s! He even took it a step future and parked and turned off the car! This preggo was almost in tears as I was laughing/ Ticked that he thought this was the appropriate place for my Last b-day dinner before becoming a mom! Needless to say we kept driving and he took me to one of our favorites spots to be greeted by my whole family and his! All in all a GREAT Birthday!

    Happy Birthday Sherry! xo

    I always ask for a massage gift certificate, but no one takes me seriously. I’d be okay with it if that was the gift I got for each gift giving occasion during the year. :) But, really, any of these things would be great too. I love the stuff Jonathan Adler designs.
