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! My name is Katharine and I once tried out for the circus to be a clown.
Hi, I’m Laurel. When I moved cross-country, among the things deemed “too precious to ship” were my Crock Pot, food processor, and wine glasses (I crammed them into my Honda Civic).
I have a crazy sensitive sense of smell. It was great when my kids were little and I needed to find that random piece of fruit they left somewhere in the house, but now that my boys are bigger, it’s sensory overload!
Hello Kate. My name is Anthony, I am a father of six(Brady Bunch style), and I frequent your blog for the great ideas to help me keep it fresh in the kitchen for everyone!
I can’t stand it if my salad touches anything hot on a plate.
My name is also Kate. My husband, 2 kids and I live n a tiny 1-bedroom apt in brookyn so I have no business entering this but I can’t help myself.
Hi, my name is Crystal and I’m jealous of Elissa because I never win anything. I like to cook and bake but more so on the weekends because after a long day at work I just want to relax.
Hi! I’m Stephanie and I have to have everything in a place. And stuff must go back to that place.
Hi Kate. My name is Natalie. I love to look at food blogs, even though I don’t love cooking; especially when I have to cut up meat. I do love baking.
I’m addicted to “to do” lists. Sometimes when my husband is out for a guys’ night I love it because I can out my daughter to bed and work on my “to dos” all night without him getting in the way.
Hi, I’m Lisa, and one of my life goals is meal planning. Currently, I just wing it…
Hi! I’m Coco, and I am addicted to the flowing, soft pants that are so popular right now – I can’t stop purchasing them!
Hi, I’m Kelli. I once saw you guys at Time Out For Women in Harrisburg, PA, and I was certain that if we met in real life we would be best friends.
I’m a learner in the kitchen and depend on your blog! =)
Hi! Random fact: when having a conversation, the words appear in my mind as though they’re being typed as we speak.
I can’t stop buying ruffle yarn and making scarves, even though I never WEAR scarves!
I have too many cats (way, WAY too many cats.) 🙂
Hi there! I’m Kristi and I mentally go through the produce department alphabetically when I am trying to fall asleep. Asparagus, bok choy, canataloupe. . . . .zzzzzz! Thanks for the chance to win your stuff!
Me too! A few months ago I read that this was a good way to fall asleep. So for the past few months, every night I pick a different topic (produce comes up from time to time!). I rarely make it past the letter M.
I can’t win this (I’m not in the US) but I wanted to say I love how nerdy everyone is…I have so much in common with so many of you!
I LOVE cookbooks and I buy them or borrow them from the library. I ooh and ahh over the pretty pictures and bookmark what looks good, but I won’t end up actually making those dishes. :-/
I’m running out of dryer sheets.
Hello! I’m Shaylee and I do not have a uvula (the hangy thing in the back of your throat). They accidentally removed that too when I had my tonsils out!
Fact about me: I think I enjoy the ritual of preparing my morning cup(s) of coffee more than I like drinking the actual coffee.
Hello, I’m Melanie. I have a hypo plastic thumb. That means my left thumb is shorter than normal and I’m missing the muscle that moves it. It makes it so I can not snap my fingers because my thumb won’t let me!
I’m Kimberly, and I cannot eat a sandwich made with untoasted bread.
Hi. I’m Erin and I am always counting something.
Hello! I’m Catherine and I am obsessed with garlic, but I hate garlic presses.
Greetings! I’m Nina and I love to read self-help books and manuals. I love building stuff with instructions that involve a screwdriver and allen wrenches (i.e. bookshelves, chairs, cribs etc.).
Hi Kate – I’m Meredith, and making pie crust absolutely terrifies me. It sounds so hard. It takes so much time. I’ll never get the butter crumbled in correctly. I avoid making pies altogether which I feel bad about because it’s my husband’s favorite treat.
I love to collect recipes. I don’t make a majority of them. I just like to hoard them and read them. Sometimes I read recipe books for fun.
Hi I am Holly and *squeal* I do this too. I technically don’t like reading but I will sit and read cookbooks.
Hi Kate, I’m Sam! When I go grocery shopping, I like to pick items from the back of the shelf so they don’t feel bad about not being placed in the front.
I do this, too! I honestly thought I was the only one to get the back items for that specific reasoning!
I do it so I get better expiration dates lol
