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.
I am a middle school Family and Consumer Sciences teacher (I teach sewing and cookIng).
Hi! I’m Margaret, and my two favorite foods are chocolate and tomatoes…but not together, ’cause that’s just not right, even in mole sauce. Thank you for the giveaway!
Hi, my name is Kristy and I VERY rarely cook the same thing twice. In fact, my husband will often say, “This is yummy! Am I ever going to see it again?” 😉
Hi, I’m Katie and I am a Jane Austen addict. I reread my leather bound copy (with gold edging of course) of her entire works once a year and sew while watching videos based on her novels.
I’m a mom of 3 young cowboys who have stolen my heart right along with their fathers.
Hi Kate, I have eight grandchildren and would love to share your dryer sheets with them! Thanks!
Hi Kate! I have eight grandchildren and would love to share your dryer sheets with them:)!
Hi! I’m MaryEllen and I eat at least a pound of raw kale everyday!! (how’s that for random?)
I’m Alison and I think gummy bears are pretty much the best thing ever.
Ditto… but only Hairbo!
I love chocolate, I can’t go a day without atleast a chocolate chip.
Hi, I’m Jennifer and I’m slightly addicted to getting kitchen tools, gadgets and serveware (but they have to be a good deal, too). 🙂
I love – love – love Beagles! Sad but true;)
I’m Grace and I love to grow tomatoes; roma, cherry, beefsteak, any kind, but I hate eating them raw. When my kids pop them in their mouths and I see the seeds and juices… just, ew. But cook those tomatoes for a bit and I love them.
Hi…I’m Ilene. I’m obsessed with food blogs and subscribe to too many of them. I have bookmarked and printed way too many to ever make, but I won’t stop.
I meant to say way too many recipes to make.
I’m Holly and I am the most professionally organized person and the most unorganized personally. Can’t stand it.
Hi! I can’t wait to see Gone Girl! I can’t remember the last move I saw that wasn’t made by Disney:)
Hi, I’m Stacee and all the hangers in our house are white plastic ones. I can’t stand mismatched hangers.
Hi, I’m Juliann, and I cannot sit in traffic under an underpass without getting nervous goosebumps. I physically shake because the unrealistic thought of it crashing down on me, freaks. me. out.!!
Hi, I’m Christie. We’ve eaten entirely too many pb&j sandwiches for dinner since I’ve gone back to teaching after being home for 10 years.
Hi, Diane here! I never win anything and would love a chance to change that!
Love, love, love your website!
I have to sweep my kitchen floor 3 times a day, and I vacuum my house daily. Unless I’m out of town. I have a thing for clean floors. I’m constantly on the look out for new brooms and have over 15 of them at present time. Drives my husband crazy.
I’m a single mother with two teenage boys. I am a department store manager full time and teach Argentine tango and went coast swing.
I am a closet nail polish hoarder….I have over 200 bottles of polish. I haven’t painted my nails in over 3 years – with 2 kids under 3. I love nail polish.
Dear Kate, My name is Wendy, and I used to scramble to make a mediocre dinner every night before I “met you and Sarah”. Now, I have a meal plan and my family eats lovely meals every night. I live in Los Angeles and have a giant herd of deer that live on our property. It’s tough to feel like I’m in the city when I see the deer ambling by.
I am a sucker for mini anything! Especially if it has cute packaging (which drives my husband crazy since the mini versions are never a good deal). Yesterday I almost night mini Coke Zero cans because why not!? ([email protected]ail.com)
I LOVE clocks (the kind with hands). I would put more than one in every room if I had enough or bought all the ones I would like to buy…
Pickles and chocolate milk aren’t too bad as a late night salty/sweet snack 🙂
Hi I’m Jennifer and I lost 141 lbs in less than a year- the good, old fashioned way 🙂 I started walking… then became a runner, and I watched what I ate (no special diet or gimmick). I’m a completely new person than I was 2 years ago. 🙂
Congrats!
Hello, I’m Emily and I can’t go to sleep at night unless my kitchen is spotless. All other parts of the house can be a total disaster, but the floors, counters, appliances, and dishes all have to be done in the kitchen. This is a huge problem when it’s 11:00 pm and I’m about to fall over asleep, but instead I’m mopping my floor.
I’m Lindsey and I have problem with starting a books and movies and leaving the majority unfinished. This happens all the time. I just don’t want to know how they end it!
