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.
I love everything about your site. I check it daily to see what I am going to make for dinner. Right now I am canning grape juice. I love to see the jars fill with all the summer work from the garden!
Hi, my name is Carrie. I live in San Diego where “Fall” does not exist. It’s the season I dream about living somewhere cool where I can get cozy in jeans, sweaters, comfy socks and smell a batch of those pumpkin cinnamon rolls baking in my oven 🙂
I’m Carmen and I’m addicted to marshmallows
Hi Kate! I’m Mia. How you (or your hypothetical respondent) feel about some metals is how I feel about some glass and paper products. It is the.absolute.worst! I struggle A LOT with baking with yeast, so I am on a mission to master all things yeast before I start my clinical rotations next fall. (Also, on a mission to exercise WAY more, since I’m clearly going to eat all the carbs.)
Hello! I’m Tina and I love collecting kitchen gadgets/tools and bowls. I love gadgets that make my life in the kitchen easier. I also love a pretty bowl to serve my food in!
Hi I’m Cindy, and I’m a cookbook addict. I love the beautiful pictures of food, the look and smell of a new cookbook, perusing a well-loved, worn cookbook, and buying new and unusual cookbooks whenever I travel (even if only to Barnes and Noble). I’m sure there are many others out there and I believe we should start a support group . . . one where we can exchange cookbooks, share cool cookbooks, recommend cookbooks, go on cookbook buying sprees . . . Now I just need to start building more bookshelves.
Thanks for contributing to my cookbook addiction by sharing your amazing recipes and pictures on your blog! Oh – and I have bought your beautiful cookbooks as well. 🙂
Best,
Cindy
I’m Colleen, and I love chocolate chip cookies! Oh, and brownies too – warm & gooey with vanilla ice cream. I wish I could live on butter, sugar and chocolate!
Hi! I am Cassie, a frequent reader but not a frequent commenter. I am on my 5th day of unemployment and I feel so excited about what the future holds!
I’m Heather and I ride my road bike like it’s a part time job.
Hi! My name is Bonnie and a random fact about me is that I am in love with the character Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series and have been since the first time I read the books.
P.S. I have at least 4 copies of each of those books and 2 of those sets are just to look at. No one can read them, it will bend the spines.
Hi I’m Jess. I love to read and go on major binges where I NEED to finish books at the expense of everything else in my life. Recovery from one of these binges usually takes a few weeks and then I’m sucked back in.
You just described me! I believe you must be my long lost, never knew existed, identical twin! 🙂
My name is Stacy and I can touch my nose with my tongue.
I am *still* obsessed with Harry Potter. After all this time 😉
I’m Ruth and I’m addicted to chocolate.
What a great giveaway and surprise!!
Hi, I’m Michele. I am Mom to three successful, independent young ladies – 24, 23, and 22 years old. I gave birth to one, and “acquired” the other two by marriage 14 years ago, but I dare anyone to say that all three aren’t mine! I stumbled on this site today and have already shared it with them.
Hi, I’m Gretchen and I’ve broken my jaw twice!
I’m Jennifer or most people call me Jen. I love to scare people. I just got my 16 yr old so good! As he came out of the bathroom, I jumped out of the closet and screamed at him… so funny!
Hi, Valerie here, and wet popsicle sticks give me the willies.
I actually like doing laundry.
I love making lists. And I really love crossing things off my lists – it is so satisfying! I love it so much, that sometimes I add things to my to-do list that I already did, just so I can cross it off. 🙂
Hi I’m Britt. I have a nail polish fetish. I have every color under the sun. I quite frequently buy a color I love only to get home and find out I already have two bottles of the same color.
I’m Becky, I love, love, LOVE cookbooks and pretty dishes and recently bought a new shelf for my kitchen that looks really great but could use some cutesy kitchen things on it to decorate (I am terrible at decorating). I also do not own any of the Best Bites cookbooks 🙁 I hope to remedy that this Christmas- if not before 😉
My name is Kanien and currently I am doing anything I can think of to help me not think about how I am having a baby in 12 days and it feels like it is currently trying to kill me. Maybe winning will make the pain stop. 🙂
My name is Jill and I love to try new things. The last few months I have been obsessed with trying all the new oreo flavors that come out…even though oreos aren’t my favorite.
Hi I’m Rachael, I don’t like to iron and I frequently start projects I am really excited about, but then don’t finish for a LONG time (for example, my 3 year old son’s baby blanket that I started when I was pregnant with him is about 4/5ths of the way complete, but I just can’t seem to get it done!).
Hi, I’m Cindy and even though I have a closet full of dresses that I wish I could wear every day, I decided to be an engineer limiting my work wardrobe to the same 4 pair of long pants every single day :/
Well, hey there! I’m Erin. I make friends with people I’ve never met via food. Since I bake more than my husband, our brand new baby (he still has a long way to go before solid foods, let alone desserts), and I can/should eat, I send my husband to med school with the extras. I aspire to have access to a dishwasher, love stale marshmallow peeps, and think that wrists are seriously gross.
Hi, I’m Sheryl and I have a fear of looking at dead bodies. I don’t mean human bodies. I mean dead spiders, cats, frogs, dogs, fish that that the kids have brought home from the carnival and die 1 day later…Ugh! Gives me the willies!!
I’m Natalie and my kids make fun of me when I stir things while baking, because I inadvertently make a duck face! :>
