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)

    Happy Holidays! Believe it or not, I still have some decorating to do. Family is coming in a couple days, so I still have rooms to prepare. November gets my Christmas engines revved, and then the idle through the beginning of December. Happens every year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and your family :o)

    Happy Holidays! I don’t have a single gift lined up yet so I am guessing I will be doing some shopping/crafting/certificate making as the holidays approach!

    My sister is in town from Seattle so I’ll get to see her. Then my whole family is going to see my grandparents this week. Wish I was going somewhere warm instead!

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! I am just finishing up teaching the last 3 days of school. Oh my goodness….the excitement of my students is contagious!!! It’s one of the things that I love about my job. I am done my Christmas shopping…it helps that both my family and my husband’s family don’t exchange gifts…to simply Christmas. We spend ‘time’ rather than ‘money’. What a difference it makes not to be stressed about gift buying….and buying gifts that none of us really need.
    I wish everyone a wonderful holiday!

    I, of course, have last minute shopping to do! It wouldn’t be the holiday season if I wasn’t sitting on my couch watching t.v. waiting for Christmas Eve to shop! :)

    Hubby is shopping for “Mommy” with our oldest son and I’m planning a Birthday party for our 2nd son on Dec 26th, and prepping for the DEMO on the kitchen on the 27th! AHHH! Hopefully its workable for our 3rd son’s party the week after and our 4th son’s 1st birthday the week after that!!
