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…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of iRobot, Kreg Tools, 20×200, West Elm and Merge Records,

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS! On the agenda is lots of work up until the last minute… and then with a high sigh of relief and relaxation: Christmas. Then I’m on the nonstop party train to pajama town (read: not leaving my pajamas for the entire weekend for any reason whatsoever.)

    For the first time EVER, I am ready for Christmas before the 23rd! The house and tree are decorated, cards are sent, gifts are bought and wrapped. Our little family of 3 is driving to my parents’ (an hour away) this weekend, and we’re feeling relaxed.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS! This is cry-on-tv-worthy for me. We’ll be heading home for a week from an extended-stay hotel in Colorado. Not a bad state to build a home away from home, but it will be so good to sleep in our own bed for Christmas!

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We’re working — how did Christmas get on a weekend this year? — but our kidlet gets to go to zoo camp to make Christmas presents for the animals and then we’ll celebrate Christmas this weekend with our family.

    Merry Christmas to the four of you!

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! I have a ton of sewing (5 crayon rolls and a eternity scarf yet to finish) and baking plus ALL of my wrapping to get done. With a 15 month old we didn’t dare risk placing wrapped presents under the tree yet ;) Love you guys and hope that you have a beyond wonderful Christmas – SO excited to see the finished kitchen in the new year and as much as I love your style it may have a doppleganger somewhere in Reno, NV in the next couple of years!
