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.
My name is Kate and I’m obsessed with seasonal and holiday packaged candy. Especially Easter candy. It’s just so festive looking!
I love shoes but would rather go barefoot!!!
I’m Sandy. I like quilting and one day hope to have the kind of stash I see on so many cute blogs. I also love eating. I LOVE ice cream and am pretty sure my heaven will be ice cream eating all day. Ice cream like manna!
I am a sweet tooth addict and eat a lot of sugar.
Hi, I’m Michelle! I did not understand the allure of IKEA, until we hit the kitchen section. Suddenly, I needed a cart.
I spent my 18th birthday in jail. To clarify, it was youth conference that we held in an abandoned prison in NV and my birthday happened to fall during our time there. But it’s pretty fun telling people I spent my 18th birthday in jail 😉
Hi, I’m Nancy Jane-I love cooking, decorating and gardening and doing fun things with my mom and little girl.
Hi! I am Laura. I am mom to four kids, ages 8, 5, 3, and 5 months. I have a stack of novels by my bed that I want to read . . . but likely never will. Too tired at the end of the day!
I’m Jileen and my favorite job when I was younger was working at the theater. I tell my husband all the time that when we retire I want to work at the theater again. I just love the fun uniforms and the smell of fresh popcorn.
I’m Michelle and my oldest son is a senior this year. I’m trying not to get melancholy, but I keep looking at everything we do this year as “the last” before my little family is going to change forever.
Hi, I’m Audrey and I start listening to Christmas music in September. 🙂
I’m Esther. I am a total city girl, except when it comes to the mountain country. Love those mountains.
Hi I’m Barb, I’m 65 years old and im a baton twirler in The Beat Goes On Marching Band, on September 12th we represented the US when we were invited to perform in the Shanghai, China parade. Awesome experience, check out our website. Have a great day!!!
Hi I’m Day and love to bake, BUT can’t handle the sound of a metal spoon scraping a metal bowl, so I rely on wooden, plastic or silicone spoons 🙂
Hi, I’m Melanie and I hate bananas but love banana bread.
I’m bethany and I have now brine eye and one blue eye.
I am extremely squeamish about raw meat in my kitchen. I keep doctor’s gloves in the kitchen to use when handling it (mostly because I HATE HATE HATE getting raw meat under my fingernails — ew!). And then I bleach everything that the meat could possibly have come in contact with. But we still eat meat on a regular basis.
I’m Katie and I am pregnant after 6 years of trying. YEAH!!!
I’m Danielle and I have 4.5 very spoiled cats (one is shared with my dad, so doesn’t live with me).
Hi, I’m Alecia and I like being creative, singing, and have built an 8ft high, 5 ft wide shelving for sorting crafts and kids stuff, it has a drop down table and everything.
wow…..recycle/upcycle/new.to.me cycle…..what a great idea. thank you for sharing!
Hi I’m Becky and I have to count step when I’m going up or down them. Sometimes I get frustrated if I lose count. Weird, I know.
I used to work as a beer wench at a Renaissance Festival and it was the most fun job I’ve ever had.
Hey! I’m Denise and I LOVE to iron! I’ve even hired myself out just so I can iron for someone. The satisfaction of a newly ironed dress shirt for my husband is wonderful!
My name is Ellen, and I think this is a very creative giveaway. I like podcasts a lot.
I’ve been obsessed with Greenland since before I can remember for some random reason. . . I remember doing a report on it in 6th grade. And yes, I know that Greenland is really Iceland and Iceland is really Greenland. . . I know, I know, but I still wanna go there someday! It’s on my bucket list!
Hi I’m Michelle. I read cookbooks like they are novels. I teach at the local high school and yesterday wondered why in the heck I didn’t major in elementary education!
I’m Lisa, but because there were always so many Lisa’s in my elementary school, I became Lisa B. My younger brother HATES the texture of wooden spoons. So obviously I spent a good deal of my childhood chasing him around the house with one.
Hi I’m Kate … And I’m having a baby any day now. Hopefully she sleeps better when she’s outside than she has been on the inside.
Hi I’m lindsie. My greatest desire is to do a back handsprings before I die
