Fab Freebie: Home Sweet Illustrated Home

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

Random.org has surprised us this week and selected a male winner for the first time in foreverrrrrrr (shocking, we know). His name is… Thomas (and he’s looking forward to time off this holiday season). Congrats dude! (Congrats buddy? Congrats fella? I dunno, I’m so used to saying “Congrats ladies” I’m kinda at a loss).

One of our favorite things to give are custom house portraits (we’ve actually purchased two for my parents in the last year – and even bought one for ourselves). So as we enter the giving-est time of the year, we figured it would be fitting to give one of you the gift of a house portrait too. We recently discovered Rebekka Seale’s too-charming-for-words illustrations (Sherry’s ridiculously smitten), so wrangling her for a giveaway was at the top of our holiday to-do list. Happily, Rebekka was game. So she’s here to offer up a gift certificate for a custom house portrait along with the winner’s choice of any art print from her Etsy shop. Feel free to keep them for yourself, or wrap ’em up and put them under the tree for someone else. Note: Rebekka’s all full on house portrait orders until after Christmas, which is why she’s doling out a gift card for one, which can be redeemed after the holidays.

Rebekka Seal House Portrait

  • PRIZE: A gift certificate for a custom house portrait along with your choice of any art print (up to $17 in value) from Rebekka Seale

Feel free to conceal the name of your recipient or talk in code, since we obviously don’t want you to give anything away too soon!

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world!

    My extended family does make-it-or-bake-it gifts every year. This year we are making clocks with vintage map backgrounds for everyone. But, I’m most excited to give my daughter her “Fear the Bassoon” tshirt. :)

    I’m looking forward to giving my hubby a couple of power tools. He’s been really wanting them and it means we can undertake a few home improvement projects so it’s really a present for both of us! :)

    I’m looking forward to putting up the Christmas tree. It didn’t make it up last year, and we really missed sitting by the light of the tree at night.

    They made Monopoly into a card game. It’s going in a stocking, and maybe for once my family will actually finish that game.

    Thanks for the contest.

    SEALE ME! I’m looking forward for seeing all my family! We live in CA and they live in NC so we don’t get to visit very often so it’s really great when we all get to be together!

    I am giving gift baskets to my mom and my MIL. I’m super excited to see them open them. Each will contain homemade cleaning products, laundry detergent, Christmas ornaments, spices, and snacks and probably some more things that I’m forgetting. I’m so excited that the gifts are actually usable (which I know they appreciate)!

    I can’t wait to give my husband monogrammed/engraved beer mugs for Christmas. We actually already owned the mugs (sans his monogram) so I had to sneak four of them out of the house in order to take them to the engraver. He got a monogrammed flask a few years ago and absolutely loved it and I think he’s going to love having beer mugs to match. The man loves his beer.

    I’m looking forward to giving our young nieces and nephews their gifts, since they are so genuinely excited. But most of all, I am looking forward to spending time with my husband over the holidays.

    Seale me! I’m so looking forward to giving my husband a garage door opener. We had to take his off during the appraisal when we moved in almost two years ago and he lovingly gave me the side with the opener that worked. I didn’t realize what a pain this was until we switched cars last week and it was pouring buckets. I was finally aware of the sacrifice he made for me because he never said what a hassle it was. I knew right then standing in the downpour that this was moving to the top of our to do list and I figured I might as well surprise him!

    I am most looking forward to giving my finace his “Big” present. He’s had a specific rifle on his mind for quite some time and His Mother and I purchased it for him. He has no idea, and thinks that the store sold it. :)

    SEALE ME! I am so looking forward to gifting my dad with a camera lens-shaped mug. He’s been trying to launch his photography business and things have been backsliding on him… so I wanted to give him a little “pick-me-up” and let him know that I believe in him!
