***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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!!!
My plan is to chill. It’s been SO CRAZY the last few weeks and we don’t have any travel plans or guests coming in so I shall relax. Have a great holiday, Petersiks! Thanks for the awesome giveaway :-)
Meg says
Happy Holidays!
Seriously?! This is so incredibly generous. I start my countdown today to have all my children home for Christmas. My oldest daughter will fly in from Haiti on Thursday, where she works at a hospital in Port Au Prince, my middle daughter will fly from San Fran (she was transferred in July) on Thursday and the littlest daughter is waiting at home with me. Friday is a day for tree-getting, cookie-making and christmas movie-watching. Everything else is gravy. Enjoy your holidays!
Kristen Lopez says
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We are doing lots of visiting with family all over Southern California!

Happy Holidays! I’ll be enjoying time with friends and family.
Sarah Gilliam says
The next week will be spent
(1) Beginning and finishing christmas shopping…in my defense, I did not just wait to the last minute. I have a 5-week old bundle of joy at my house this year—which means I’m sure you can guess that much of my shopping includes frames for prints of that cute little face
(2) Driving all over the world so that all of our family can see the new little one. Husband and I have certainly realized it’s no longer about us…but we just can’t blame them. (I’m telling you this kid is adorable)
and (3) Giving thanks for an incredible family, ridiculous blessings in our life, and the birth of a Savior
