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’m Carly. I’m a Sonic Diet Coke loving, Netflix binging, Harry Potter reading mom from Vegas who is DYING for the weather to cool down and stay cooled down.
Hi! I’m Stephanie and I own and regularly use 3 different computers. 🙂 I have a basic PC, an iMac and a Chromebook. Maybe some day I’ll downgrade to just 2.
I love fall and the thing I like best is crunchy leaves. I am over 30 years old and I still go out of my way to step on a good, crunchy leaf!
HI my name is Sarah. I love avocados, but absolutely hate guacamole – or even slightly mashed avocado for that matter. Recently, I pinned and framed a black widow for my son, who wanted to keep it.
Hello! I am Annita and I love homemade soup and hot rolls with honey butter. I also love listening to audiobooks and riding my bike (sometimes I do both at the same time). Fall is definitely my favorite season because I love wearing sweaters.
Hi, I’m Trulie. Random fact: The weirdest thing I’ve ever eaten is a black widow spider. I don’t remember it, and I don’t think I swallowed most of it, but I definitely bit one in half as a toddler.
I’m Ana, and Fall is my favorite season. I love the cool crisp weather (I’ve never been a fan of sunny summers) and I LOVE Halloween — I think it’s the best holiday of all. My family and I go all out for Halloween. We plan out costumes sometimes a year in advance. I start decorating for Halloween mid-September, and sometimes won’t take the decorations down until Veteran’s day (once, not till Thanksgiving). That said, I like celebrating any holiday, and try to do something a little special for each of them… but none get the kind of attention from our house as Halloween does.
Hi my name is Emily and I eat the caramel off of my twix bars and then I eat the cookie.
I wash all my dishes my hand. Every.Single.Meal. I own a dishwasher, but don’t use it. I find it therapeutic!
Hi Kate! Everytime I go in the kitchen I open all the cupboards and fridge even if I don’t need anything from there.
I just moved from New England to Nebraska and have not gotten over the culture shock yet!
My name is Sarah and my favorite part of eating Frosted Mini Wheats is the bowl that you get at the end of the box when it is mostly crumbs, frosting powder, and a few big pieces left.
Hi, I’m Michelle, and my husband thinks I have a problem with wearing only one shirt. Really, I just layers… and I don’t see any shame in wearing a few shirts and cardigan if it looks awesome. 🙂 Also, never ask me to bring dessert because I will bring like three. Because every recipe will look too good and I won’t be able to decide… so I’ll just make them all.
Hello. My name is Liberty. I can’t have too many books around waiting for me to read, I adore anything with the word Chipotle in it and I love make up so much I get giddy inside (and probably on the outside) when I buy something new.
Hi, I’m Jennie and I am absolutely obsessed with making beautiful cakes
I understand having way too much stuff! I have this obsession about collecting kids books for my kids. As a result, we now have so many books I don’t know where to put them (we already have three bookshelves full of my books and kids books)! I feel like they’re something worth collecting!
I love treats more than anything. I could eat treats (any kind!!) at all times no matter how rich.
I am completely obsessed with Abraham Lincoln. I’m a high school English teacher and have a life-sized cutout of him in my classroom that I routinely move to new places because it messes with my students and fellow staff members!
Hello, my name is Jennifer but I also go by Jen but NEVER Jenny (blech!). I am enthralled with make up and hair products. For some reason I just love to buy them and the funny thing is, is that I hardly ever use them because I just don’t know how to apply make up all that well, so I end up using the same crap over and over again!!! oh well!
Hi I’m Aubrynn. I love sewing and baking treats. I also like doing diy projects when I have time. I recently realized I need more time for that because I have one halloween/fall decoration in my house! I need to take more advantage of naptime apparently! 🙂
Hello! I’m Nicole. I love chicken, but I have a really hard time eating any kind of chicken that involves bones. I also steer away from ribs for about the same reason. It’s not that I can’t eat it, in fact, it’s usually delicious. Left to my own devices though, I don’t think I would ever purchase any meat with bones in it. I have an insanely hard time with fish for this reason.
I’m Meg and I almost lost my pants while marching in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Hi, I’m CrystalLee, and my husband says I’m a digital hoarder. Nevermind that I took 24 photos of my child within the span of 45 seconds, and most of them are blurry or he’s screaming or looking away from a camera. I just cannot bring myself to delete any of them, as they’re pics of my kid, and I want to see it all. Oh, and Pinterest my digital hoarding wonderland. 🙂
Hi I am Andrea and I hoard recipes. I don’t make most of them but I love to hoard them.
Hi, I’m Jessica. I hate shopping for clothes, but I could spend hours looking around home improvement stores or kitchen stores (like Williams Sonoma!).
Hi! I’m Heather, and I have a non-cancerous tumor in my head.
On a lighter note, I HATE winter (except for the holidays).
Wishing I was a US resident
Hi, I’m Sharon and I LOVE office/school supplies, especially anything in fun bright colors. I can’t resist buying it once I see it.
I love baking, hoard chocolate, get excited about new shampoos, and can’t stand perfumey laundry. I wish I didn’t have a long commute so I could cook dinner more often rather than eating my husband’s cooking (he is…an experimenter!)
Hi Kate! I’m a grad student and I love to cook, but I don’t have as much time for cooking as I’d like. :/
