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. 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 Melissa and I almost always use my crockpot in my garage, no matter the season. I also wish I had an outdoor oven, like REALLY bad. And I love your blog!
Hi I am David and I love my wife so much that I will try to win Kate’s stuff for her.
Hi, I’m Ashley. I can’t stand mint flavored desserts. Especially mint ice cream. I even have to wash off the ice cream scoop after my husband gets some (it’s his favorite) before I can scoop my own–I don’t want even a trace of it in my (most likely chocolate) ice cream. 🙂
I am a thrifty crafter and I love this idea! Pay it forward I say. That’s why I hate to have yard sales. I’ll go to them all day long! I’d rather find someone to bless with my stuff than haggle over prices.
I love to craft, sew & cook!! Just wish I had MORE time to do all three 🙂
When I eat mashed potatoes, roast beef, and a veggie, they can’t mix. Even when I was little I ate the potatoes first, rotated my plate and ate the meat, then rotated my plate and ate the vegetable.
Hi, Megan here. I love all things post-it notes. I love the colors, shapes etc. My purse is filled with reminder notes all the time.
Random fact: I have never broken a bone until last fall, when I was trying to slice an acorn squash and sliced my pinky finger instead. At the emergency room I learned that the knife went so deep that I fractured the bone. I broke a bone using a knife!
My name’s Melissa and I love creating things, whether it’s fun food in the kitchen, a cute dress for my little girl, a quilt, or a fun paint design on my walls. If I can make it myself I almost always am willing to give it a try!
Hi, I’m Eliza, and I love to take long showers and keep turning the water hotter and hotter. I don’t sew. And just like everyone else that reads your blog, we love your chicken taquitos! My husband will eat 14 of them for dinner.
Hi! I’m Christi. I’m terrified of birds and grasshoppers and when I unload the dishwasher my kids colorful ikea plates always go into the cupboard in ROY G BIV order 🙂
Hi, I’m Renae and I am terrified of styrofoam. Even writing that gives me the shivers.
My name is Tracy and I love kitchen gadgets! I can’t pass that aisle in the store without taking a look first. I have to tell myself over and over that I don’t need anything or else I would buy something every time.
I have way too many projects I start but never quite fully finish.
Hi! I love walking through old cemeteries. During the daytime, of course. Thanks!
Hi Kate! This is a super fun giveaway :-). My favorite color is Sparkle and my second favorite color is pink.
Hello! I’m April and I just planned my brother and new sister in law’s wedding this past weekend!
I’m Katie and I have yet to find the household duty/chore that is “my thing”. Hate em all. I need a housekeeper. 🙁
hi, i’m linda. i live with my in-laws so i don’t need kitchen stuff. i’d love laundry-related stuff, makeup/skincare/toiletry products/samples, cookbooks… i’m expecting a baby in 4 months so i’m also obsessed with baby products now. this sounds like a fun giveaway!
Ha, I love that you’re giving away a box of random stuff. I’m Colleen and I’m probably paler than you. 😉
I’m Audra and I love old movies.
Hi! I’m Angie and my husband works at a plant that fills a lot of P&G’s products!
My name is Heidi and I love to get things organized and love having yard sales!
Hi! I’m Natalie, and I can wiggle both ears separately. And touch under my chin with my tongue. And my kids STILL don’t think I’m the coolest!
Hi, I’m Sarah and I love organizing and labeling my kitchen supplies. Seriously, my spices are alphabetized!
I am Jessica Peterson and I love to have my kitchen counters clean- somehow it makes life seem better for me!
Hi, I’m Katie. I HATE cotton balls, because they squeak. It’s a horrible noise/feeling. Also, I somehow picked up a job as the substitute nurse at my childrens’ school, and I am sooo glad that’s not the career path I chose.
Hi Kate, my name is Jennifer and I completely get the heebie-jeebies touching raw or cooked meat with the bones in. I can only cook & eat boneless meat. My amazing hubby prepares & slices the Thanksgiving turkey for me. Hopefully, your “stuff” comes with a pair of kitchen gloves that allows me to handle bone-in meat.:)
I’m Rachel and I just moved so we completely dejunked a TON of stuff. I would love to add your random stuff to make up for all of mine that just left 😉
I HATE the sound and feeling of pulling cotton balls apart. and the sound a straw makes on the inside of a domed slurpee lid…ugh.
