So I have kind of a weird life. My husband works for Procter & Gamble, so we frequently get huge amounts of P&G products (usually laundry products, like Tide, Bounce, Downy, etc., but also diapers and wipes, deodorant, and CoverGirl foundation for people with a MUCH darker complexion than I have). Then we also frequently get blog-related products to sample, many of which I end up using and loving and also many of which get shoved into a corner cupboard somewhere.
Here’s the deal: I need to downsize. So I want to give someone some of my stuff. I don’t know what stuff it will be yet, but I can pretty much guarantee it will include more dryer sheets than you’ll ever know what to do with and some cookbooks (I have waaaaaaaay too many).
Here’s what I do know:
- It will be at least $100 worth of stuff.
- It will all either be new (I’m not going to send you a half-used bottle of shampoo) or like-new (it might be a kitchen tool I’ve only used once or twice and don’t have space for.)
- You may not want it all. In that case, you are more than welcome to make your newly-acquired stuff someone else’s stuff.
- I will try and tailor at least some of the stuff to your own needs/wants/interests. Like I said, I have a lot of stuff.
If you want to take a box of stuff off my hands, tell me a random fact about yourself. Like, for instance, if I were entering, I might say, “Hi, I’m Kate, and I can’t buy metal appliances without touching them first because there are some types of metal that I can’t touch without getting the shivers.”
A few rules:
- The giveaway ends the evening of October 9. Â I’ll pick a winner and announce it in my post on Friday, October 10.
- It’s only open to residents of the United States.
- Enter with your name and an email address that you check frequently.
Hi, I’m Kristin and I color coordinate everything in my life. My mugs, for example, go from red to purple (left to right), with black, brown, white, and gray on the far right. Same with towels and sheets, spare/replacement candles and soaps, and my clothes in my closet (did I also mention the clothes are on color coordinated hangers, too?). Makes finding things easier. 🙂
Hi! I’m Tracy and I have never had a cup of coffee. I can never get past the smell. My family makes fun of me because I’m 48 and still drink hot chocolate “)
I’m Abbie and I hate chocolate and peanut butter, but love Greek olives, feta cheese, and pepperoncinis. 😀
I’m Nancie, I love looking up new receipes but am terrified to actually try and make them (also I have to smell ALL the fabric softener before I buy any, even if I end up buying the same thing everytime)
Hey Everyone, I am Ashley and well…. what can I say? I am addicted to loving life!
I’m Erika and I love the color pink. When i was 2 my mom asked if i wanted a blueberry muffin. I said no i want pinkberry. In college, someone even described me as, “I have this friend… She wears a lot of pink” I also love sparkly things. And Gilmore girls. And football. Go figure.
Hi, I’m Summer and I get obsessive (some say) about redoing a certain space in the house to make it more organized..Then I finish that space, and move right on to another. Wait 6 months (cuz I’m burnt out!) and then do it all, again!
I’m Ashley and I like to read slightly inappropriate romance novels and I have an agreement w my sister to steal my kindle if anything were to happen to me to save me from embarrassment from the grave. Thank you!
Hi, I’m Angi, and I’m a foodie. I stalk your blog for new recipes to try. One of my goals is to try every recipe that involves cheesecake! Yum! 🙂 🙂
I am Nicole and I love cookbooks. I always promise myself that I won’t buy anymore, and still I do. But your cookbooks are my favorite. I bought four copies of your last cookbook: one for me, one for my mom, and one for each of my sisters.
My name is Michelle and I love fall weather when it starts getting a little chilly outside.
I’m Kim and one of my least favorite jobs is cleaning out the fridge.
Hi Kate, I’m Cama DeWolfe and I am repulsed by PINK food.
I’m Amanda and I can’t get enough of fall- there were small pumpkins, large pumpkins, pumpkin-flavored coffee, pumpkin-shaped candles, pumpkin bread, carved pumpkins…
I love to bake and am ready to make a batch of chocolate pumpkin cupcakes with pumpkin spice frosting. Bring on Fall!
I didn’t get a chance to read everyone else’s comments, but I have a couple of things about myself which I am proud to share with the world. One, I always do all of my dishes by hand (even though I’ve owned a dishwasher most of my married life, which has passed the 30+ years mark), and, two, I have not had cable TV in my home for over 15 years, and I really don’t miss it (whatever TV show you want to watch nowadays can be seen on DVD without commercial interruption!). And I’m so glad that my KitchenAid mixer is an older one – please let it keep on ticking for many, many years to come!!!
Hi my name is Sandy and I love stuff too. Especially finding old kitchen tools that work Wayyyyyyyy better than new ones!
Love your site!
When we replaced our roof 6 years ago, a human skull was discovered in our attic!
My name is Wendy. I just discovered how delicious pudding from scratch is! Who knew?!
Hi I am Heidi and I hate the feel of cotton balls. Especially pulling them apart. It makes me shudder just to write this. It doesn’t help that I am a child care provider. Do you know how many crafts for little people involve those little balls of torture?!
Hi! My name is Erin. I’m obsessed with stationery and have more than I could ever use in a lifetime. Whoops! I think paper goods are just so much fun!!!! Love this idea and hoping that I’ll win!!!! Especially if there are cookbooks involved, those come a close second to stationery!
Hi, Kate. I start all of our Christmas letters with the phrase, “Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse….”
After that, it could be “3 crazy teenagers live in my house,” or “Grandpa and Grandma love kids in their house,” etc.etc…
Hi I’m Natalie and I have a baking addiction. I bought a beautiful green 6-quart KitchenAid mixer and then my mother stole it. THE NERVE! Trying to find some new things to trade her – maybe one of your boxes filled with goodies 🙂
Fuuuuuun! Hello there, I’m Megan. I like to craft, craft, craft in the Fall. But I tend to forget that I have four children who need clean clothing and meals provided for them. Love checking your site regularly for food inspirations!
Thank you!
Hi Ms. Kate! I have to stand in the “flamingo pose” whenever I’m in my kitchen cooking or baking. (one foot resting on inner part of knee)
I’m Amy and I’m irrationally excited to paint my dining room and kitchen this weekend.
Hi–I’m Jan and I’m a gym rat which is a good thing as I love to cook & eat!
Hi! I can’t tolerate pop/country music and make gag sounds anytime it plays.
I’m addicted to anything that catches my fancy and then I wonder why I bought all the stuff I’ll never use.
Hi my name is Missy and my favorite number is 87.
