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 obsessed with reading recipes and imaging how they taste. Since I am now a widow and don’t enjoy cooking for myself, I just read the recipes and drool over them, print them out “just in case” and then file them away thinking maybe I’ll try them soon. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes you share. I have made several from your site and I enjoy and look forward to your blog!!!
I live on a tropical island (Guam) and I’m not that fond of beaches. Maybe I should qualify that by saying that I don’t like going to the beach with my kids; going by myself would be another story!
Hi Kate. My name is Margaret. My first grandchild named me Nonni
. I am a Oregon Duck fan.
I’m Staci and I love watching my kids play sports!
Hi, my name is Amy, and I love playing pinochle almost as much as I love my kids.
Hey, Shelley, here! I hoard chocolate chips. I do this in part because I eat 1/2 of the bag before I ever get to the recipe. I also do this because I live in AK and random items completely disappear from the shelves in grocery stores for reasons unknown. Their return to said shelves is also be unknown. I cannot be without chocolate chips. The end.
I have the same problem with wood. Popscicle sticks, wooden spoons..nails on chalkboard!!
Hi! I’m Laura and I can’t tolerate ketchup. I don’t even like to see it!
Hi, I’m Liz. When I grocery shop, I can’t pick an item off the shelfif it’s the first item. I’d have to move the first item, grab the one behind it to purchase, and then replace the original item back on the shelf. 🙂
My name is Johnie and I have over 100 tank tops, in every color and style. Racerback, tanks, spaghetti strap, you name it! I’m obsessed, I must have every color to go under every outfit!
Hi, I’m Vicki, and I love to make homemade bread.
Hi I’m Heidi, I love Dr. Pepper with a passion. If I see any recipe on Pinterest with Dr. Pepper in it I have to pin it and try it. Every year on my birthday I find a dessert recipe with Dr. Pepper in it to make and eat: cupcakes, cake, ice cream… I love dirty Dr. Peppers too. It’s the first thing I think about when I wake up. I’m totally addicted…
Random fact: I used to fill my mom’s mason jars with Seattle slugs (have you SEEN how big those guys are?!) and leave them for her to find on the doorstep. **Surprise!** But I won’t go any where near worms of slugs today. Please don’t give this idea to my littles…
Hi! My name is Jen and I HAVE to, (as in, absolutely must, regardless of time or circumstance) sleep in a bed that’s been made. Which means…if my husband is sleeping before me, the bed gets made over top him before I go to bed. He loves it. But not. Not even a little. 🙂
My name is Danielle and I cannot help but kiss my kiddos squishy cheeks and neck chub. It is irresistible to me! I have a 4 month old, so that type of behavior is fairly acceptable, but my 5 year old isn’t so excited about me squishing and blowing raspberries on her baby soft cheeks.
I have three small children: two daughters and a son and I spend WAY more time getting stains out of girls clothes than boys. Who knew that a girl’s creativity would be harder to clean than a boy who loves sports? Thanks for sharing your stuff with us!
Hey all! I’m Deb and I’m the #1 fan of “Matlock” Wahoo!!!!
Hi I am Jane!! love your site and all the people on it … interesting fact … at the age of 50some I am back in Graduate school almost done with Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Never say never and go after those dreams!
Hi, I’m Bonnie and when I’m feeling anxious I pull out my eyelashes and eyebrows. Luckily not too often and thank goodness for makeup!
I’m Kaitlin…and I have been to 49 states, just missing Alaska!!
i love to create things but when it comes to craft I can only modify what I see. I’m not very creative.
I’m an adoptive mom and I’ve been skydiving.
Hi, I’m Bonnie and I refuse to measure the food I eat. Not calories, grams, ounces, cups or anything else. I just found a visual food journal app and I’m in love.
Hi, I’m Deborah. I do a home daycare so I can be home for my kids, I love to find meaning in numbers, love to exercise at home (could use some new choices), love Bath and Body hand soaps, etc., love NCIS and Blue Bloods, I’m highly organized, I’m a germ freak, hate doing laundry — do all of it in two days and don’t do it again until 3 weeks later, love fun gadgets in my kitchen, love cooking and baking and trying new recipes — love to get ideas from Pinterest and to make unique things like chocolates, suckers (could use more molds), cookies (could use more cutters), etc.).
I am LOVING all of these comments! Seriously. Best idea ever! I am Theresa and I love trying out new things, like things I never would pick out for myself but often end up enjoying. (i.e. clothing that someone else gives me, food someone else cooks for me, etc.)
I love cookbooks!
Hi! I’m Brittany, and I broke my pubic bone during labor! I also have an obsession with graham crackers, all flavors!
My name is Ryleigh! I just moved to a new town and would love to buy anything kitchen related to help me cope but alas… Student loans don’t accomodate for such needs and my child needs diapers! Haha cute measuring spoons make me talk in a baby voice…
Hey Kate,
I’m Kari and I am Monica Gellar’s long lost twin sister :0).
hi, im lindsey. im a mom to three boys and I’m obsessed with good smelling laundry 🙂
