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)

    My birthday was in January… so I can’t focus on next year already… but this year was the absolute best. My amazing boyfriend surprised me with fifth row orchestra aisle seats to The Lion King in San Francisco.

    Birthday me! For my next birthday I’d love one day all alone. I have three boys under 5 (5,3, and 3 months) and I am counting down the days until I can sleep in and go to the washroom on my own. That would be the best birthday present.

    The hub’s birthday is 5 days before mine, so it doesn’t make sense to do surprise parties or big surprise gifts. So maybe a nice trip or cool adventure that we plan together…

    This year I’m hoping for a birthday where I’m in a good place in life. It seems silly, but the last few years my birthday has seen much upheaval, so a birthday where the only tears are tears of joy seems like a really great gift.
