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…

    I’ve got to do some gift wrapping, find a last minute gift for my mom, and then off to celebrate Christmas with our families! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Working all week, but I already finished all my Christmas shopping–so it’s definitely a low-stress, just-enjoy-friends-and-family kind of week. LOVE ALL of the gifts. Such a great prize!

    HAPPY HOILDAYS!

    I’m extremely lucky – my office closes between Christmas and New Year’s and I had some leftover vacation, so my last day of work for the year is tomorrow! This week will be filled with last minute shopping, baking and hanging out with out-of-town visitors.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!! My fiance and I are driving to New York (from our new home in South Carolina) to see my family for one of the first times since March! So excited! I can’t wait to see all the babies grown up and a close cousin who will be 7 months pregnant! There’s nothing like the holidays.

    I will be baking up a storm, running one more trip to the grocery store, wrapping presents (which hopefully will arrive on time from my favorite e-merchants), cleaning up a storm, and hosting eleven people (including my in-laws) for Christmas dinner.

    First and foremost avoiding a holiday breakdown and too much last minute holiday spending. Most importantly enjoying the holiday and the time w/ family and friends(and the new iphone 4s I’m getting, Yay!)

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! This week we will have lots of family get-togethers. The best part is I don’t have to cook or clean because it’s not at our house :-) After that, I will plan my son’s birthday party since his is on New Year’s Day!
