***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.
- 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
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners 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 Rebekka Seale.

Katie says
SEALE ME! I can’t wait to spend our first Christmas in our very first house! My husband and I are excited to start new traditions in our lovely wee home, and I am so excited to put up our Christmas decorations this week!
This would be the PERFECT gift – not only for myself (because trust me, I would LOVE a portrait of our first house!) but Christmas is a time of giving, and I would absolutely love to give my Mum a portrait of childhood home. It is currently on the market as my grandma passed away earlier in the year, and I know a beautiful portrait of the house would be such a sweet way for my mum to remember all the years of fun and family that my grandma’s big old house blessed us with.
Merry Christmas!! xx

Heather says
SEALE ME!
Luggage? HA! Somehow, some way, completely unintentionally, it’s turned into, and we’ve quietly declared it (to ourselves for now, to the recipients upon Christmas) “The Christmas of Luggage!”… for at least 4 recipients.
At the very least, this one should be fun: one set is in a zebra print and simply a vehicle to say… you might find this useful this when we take you to a magical place, for what we hope is only the first time you visit it :D
