Fab Freebie: Things We Love

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

After an excitement and entry filled holiday giveaway we’ve crowned our big winner. Well, random.org has crowned a winner. And she is… Nina (who’s planning to soak up and celebrate the magic of the season with her toddler, babe, and hubs this week as well as do some gift wrapping, toy assembling, and cookie baking by the light of the tree). Congrats!

Oprah has Favorite Things. Martha has Good Things. We have Things We Love (okay, so maybe it’s not as catchy or scream-and-cry-on-national-TV-worthy, but we tried). The point is that we’ve rounded up five prizes that we heart, covering a whole range of topics that we love talking about ’round these parts – from art and tools to cleaning and ceramic animals. All in all, it’s nearly $750 worth of goodies for one lucky reader! So without further ado, here’s what one of your stockings will get stuffed with this week:

Thing We Love Giveaway

  1. An iRobot Scooba 230 – A compact floor washing robot from the makers of Roomba that’s small enough to get under cabinets and around commodes (worth $299!). Because less time spent scrubbing your floors means more time spent DIYing.
  2. An $150 gift certificate from 20×200 – One of our favorite spots for fresh original art, including the bicycle print that my sisters got me for my birthday last month. There are lots of ways to spend your $150, like splurging for a framed piece.
  3. Over $200 worth of Kreg Tools – The stuff that gives me the confidence to take on my woodworking projects (this set includes the Kreg Jig Master System and Multi-Mark as well as new stuff that I don’t even have: the Shelf Pin Jig and Square-Cut) – all worth $215!
  4. The ceramic pig speaker from West Elm – You already know that we love this often back-ordered guy, so we begged the folks at West Elm to put one aside for the winner.
  5. And A Very She & Him Christmas CD (or LP) and winter hat – You’ll need some music to listen to on your new pig speaker, right? And we’re loving these festive tracks from Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward.

So now that we’ve outlined the prize, here are the regular giveaway details:

  • PRIZE: See above
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “HAPPY HOLIDAYS!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what’s on your holiday agenda for the next week? Do you have lots of last minute shopping / cleaning / cooking to do? Are you traveling? Or are you just sitting back and waiting for a certain red-suited man to hop down your chimney (like Clara)?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 21st at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • DISCOUNT: Get 10% off on framed print orders placed at 20×200 through tomorrow December 20, 2011 with the code YHL10
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

    Happy Holidays! :o)

    I just made it up to Fairbanks, Alaska and am planning on helping my mom with Christmas cooking, playing outside, and spending time with family! Oh, and building built-in shelving for my kitchen with my dad! :o)

    I’m waiting for my brother and sister to fly in from London and NYC for a family celebration. All three of us are getting married within 14 months of each other this year and we’ll be at my parent’s house with our newly acquired life partners :) I can’t wait to see them!

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

    My next week is filled with all the shopping I haven’t yet done (read: all of it!) plus work, getting a tree and prepping for an int’l trip that happens right after Christmas! Oh, and I just finished my almost last class in grad school, complete with a major paper and final. So I’m ready for a break and for some holiday fun!

    Happy holidays to you, too! Such a cute family and such a gift to read all your fun posts.

    Happy Holidays! I’m working all week so that all of the parents I nanny for/sit for can get all of their last minute holiday shopping finished :) Then, I’m relaxing all week and next soaking in the season when my husband is home from work at the hospital (he’s an unlucky one that has to work Christmas)!

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I will be spending Christmas with my children, my husband, and our parents. This Christmas is sad, as my son’s friend just died at 18 months old. She fought neuroblastoma, a disgusting childhood cancer. You can read about her struggle here: http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/16/baby-who-fought-cancer-with-mom-dies/ I know this might not be the right platform, but with Clara so close in age and with such a large audience, I thought maybe you could do something to help raise awareness or fund research. That would make this a very merry Christmas. Thank you.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS! My husband and I are mostly done with the cooking, shopping, and cleaning now. This weekend will bring LOTS of running around to various family members’ homes for parties on his side and mine. It’s always very busy and VERY fun!

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
    I’ll be spending the week on pins and needles waiting for Christmas to open an envelope that tells us whether we’re having a boy or a girl in a few months!
