We’re leaving the mainland and heading for the islands for this week’s freebie giveaway. Well, I guess I don’t mean that literally (unfortunately) but we’re leaving it up to So’mace Lifestyle, a new design boutique in Honolulu, to bring the Hawaiian experience to all of us.
So’mace Lifestyle is a new gallery & shop spawned from a design service that started in 2004 by former New Yorkers Kaypee Soh and Edward Macey. The new boutique, which has a focus on sustainable and green design, is chock full of great art for your walls (wallpaper), for your floor (rugs), for your dreams (bedding) and- here’s where the prize comes in – for your sofa (pillows).
Kaypee Soh’s line of original pillows (view full collection here and here) is a mix of nature-inspired florals and graphic retro designs, all hand-printed in Washington state and hand-sewn in Hawaii. They feature 100% linen covers with a 20″ x 20″ feather/down and hypoallergenic insert. Plus, with two different, coordinated designs on each side, you can give your couch a fresh look just by flipping the pillow over. And one lucky reader will have the chance to do just that…
To win your choice of any one of the six pillows shown below, just comment on this post with the words “ALOHA” by Wednesday, February 18th at 8pm EST. And since Hawaii is such a popular honeymoon spot, we’d also love to hear where you went (or are hoping/planning to go) on your honeymoon. As you probably know, we actually left the lower 48 and headed the other direction for an Alaskan honeymoon. Not quite as warm, but it managed to be just as romantic.
So’mace Lifestyle will ship this great prize anywhere, so don’t hold back all you international pillow lovers! We’ll be picking one winner using random.org and announcing it later in the week as usual. Now, what’s Hawaiian for “good luck”?
If you’re curious, you can get more details about our giveaways here. All images courtesy of So’mace Lifestyle and Kaypee Soh

Aloha! I would love to win this prize since I was actually born in Honolulu! Help me bring a little bit of the Aloha spirit back home to Alabama! ;-)
We honeymooned in Texas, along the Gulf Coast… flew to Corpus Christi and drove along the coast… then drove to Austin, San Antonio, and back to Corpus Christi. It was a great time, and we wanted to go somewhere that neither of us had ever been to so that we could make new memories together. It was a lot of fun!

We went to Costa Rica for our honeymoon back in November. Ahhh, memories. It was our first of *hopefully* many attempts for an eco/budget friendly vacation! Woot, woot!

Aloha!!
We went to Northern Arizona for a few days after our wedding {we didn’t have a lot of time before classes started} Once school was done for the year we spent 10 days in England and that is what we consider our actual honeymoon.
Sherry Bowden says
Well, it wasn’t tropical, and it certainly wasn’t lately, but Bill and I saved for a year and traveled to Amsterdam, Paris and London for our honeymoon. Despite criticism from family and even some friends about the cost, we decided to go for it because, “…who knows, we may be old before we get to do this again!” Now, almost 40 years later, we’re still glad we went (and, no…we haven’t been back yet). That’s our story, so “Aloha” to all you fine people!

Short honeymoon weekend in quaint rural town of Story, Indiana…

Actually my husband and I went the other direction for our honeymoon…the Atlantic ocean!
We had a ceremony on the pink beaches of Bermuda, like Hawaii but not as pricey :)
Lindsey says
Aloha!
Pillows are super-cute! The blue ones particularly caught my eye. We’re in the process of choosing a honeymoon with Hawaii high on our list. Basically anywhere with sun, a beach and drinks works for us :)
Chris says
ALOHA!! I did not get to go to Hawaii for my honeymoon but did get there for a vacation last year and I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. I loved the beauty and romance and these pillows do take you right back to the island feel.
Kelsey says

We were lucky ducks and got to relax on the beautiful, white sandy beaches of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I would love to go back. Today. Right now.
Tara says
Aloha!
Oh those textiles are glorious — perfect representation of Hawaii! Those colours… oh ah!
Jennifer says
Aloha! We went to Costa Rica for our honeymoon, BUT we got engaged on a trip to Hawaii a year before that. It was our first time visiting Hawaii (for both of us), so we did the touristy thing and went to Oahu and stayed on Waikiki beach. It was still fun, though, and ever since then we’ve been trying to figure out how we can go back to Hawaii and which island to visit next!

We went to Hawaii for our 3 WEEK Honeymoon and it was amazing!! I’d love to have a pillow to keep on our bed to remind us of those wonderful nighttime breezes and of course all the times we ALOHA while we were there. Hope we win!
Thanks for having such a great blog – I thoroughly enjoy it and look for updates any chance I can – we have also renovated a very old house (a 1920’s Foursquare) so I can relate.
