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
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “SEALE ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what are you most looking forward to giving this holiday season? Holiday cookies? The perfect sweater? Homemade crafts? Shearling dog boots (they actually make those)? 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!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, December 7th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in the world!
  • DISCOUNT: Get 10% off on all orders placed through December 31, 2011 with the code YHL123

    SEALE ME!

    I’m looking most forward to giving my grandparents a super fancy phone that hopefully will allow my very hard of hearing grandpa to have a conversation over the phone again. My sister recently moved to England, and I know he misses her voice. Fingers crossed that it works!

    1. We usually give our parents Heifer International gifts. We look forward to knowing that, since we’re lucky enough not to really need anything and are trying to prioritize what we do have, the gifts we give really do some good.
    2. This year we’re also getting tickets to Cavalia. Since both my girls (ages 7 & 5) are in the “horse-crazy” stage, I think this is going to be a magical holiday event. I can’t wait to see their faces when the show starts.
    Great giveaway idea! I love those house portraits.

    SEALE ME! I’m most looking forward to giving out homemade baked treats. I love to bake and do a ton of it every Christmas season. This year I found out what my son’s preschool teachers’ favorite treats are and are making those.

    The best part of the holidays for me is definitely time with family. Being at my parents house eating delicious food and chasing after the kids is my idea of a good time! That and watching Elf and Christmas Vacation a million times.

    Oh, I would love to get this for my parents! They moved from my childhood home a few years ago, and I’d love to give them a picture reminder of the house my sister & I grew up in!

    I want one of these. I just spent 45 minutes looking for her information on your site. I thought I found it with your parents front door, but wasn’t sure. I would love to win, but if I don’t, yay, for the discount!

    SEALE ME! I’m most looking forward to giving my family the little jokey gag gifts we give each other each year. This year Dad is getting some camo band-aids and random stuff from my junk drawer.

    SEALE ME!! Aw, my parents are planning to move to a different state to be closer to us within the next year (hopefully) but are understandably sad about the prospect of leaving their home of 30+ years. This would be the perfect thing for them in anticipation of moving and then once they’re close to us, they’ll always have a beautiful reminder of the house they left. :) Thanks for the chance of winning this – her work is beautiful!!

    My in-laws lost their home of 30 years this April in a tornado. They have just recently bought a new-to-them home. I would LOVE to be able to give them a painting of the “new house”.

    After many many years of “not being allowed”, my boyfriend has finally given me the go ahead to get him clothes for Christmas! Now I can get him all the things I think he should be wearing! ;) This excites me to no end.

    I am looking forward to giving my dad a new couch. It’s a long story, but I ruined his and have owed him one for a long time. I can’t wait to see the look on his face.

    I’m looking forward to giving a few handmade items to family members and friends…nothing too crazy, but something made with my hands and a little bit of time.
