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 Christine and I have a mild obsession with buying miniaturized kitchen tools.
Hi, I’m Liv and I love candy corn and twizzlers…something about the waxy texture really appeals to me. Also I love ginger stuff (really spicy ginger ale, ginger candy, etc.) but I won’t eat actual ginger.
I’m Heather and I love to bake. Lately we’ve had a never ending supply of cookies in the freezer. I’m kind of afraid of the holidays this year. Baby #5 loves his chocolate 😉
I’m Juli and I have a twin sister and an older sister all with the same birthday!
Hi, I’m Wendy. I LOVE the smell of Twinkies, I have to smell my kids Twinkies before they eat them but I hate the way they taste.
I’m Juliana and I have to know what color M&M
I guess I pushed the wrong key on my keyboard. I have to know what color M&M’s I’m eating before putting it in my mouth. I usually try to arrange the colors so they are eaten together (i.e. I’ll eat all the yellows, then blues…). I don’t like eating M&M’s at the movie theater because I can’t see!
Good afternoon. My name is Krista and I love the way onions smell but hate the way onions taste.
Hi, I’m Kristin…and I can’t stand the feeling of textured plastic (it creeps me out!). Rubbermaid tote lids=THE WORST.
Fact: I can’t stand the sound of Styrofoam. Like really, really can’t stand it, makes me want to scream and run far far away. I hate touching it or having anyone else anywhere near me with it. I avoid buying anything with styrofoam packaging.
Hello! I’m Thanh and I love all things kitchen related..tools, gadgets, a new spatula, hosting platters, you name it. I love cooking, baking, making homemade food and trying new recipes, but it’s been hard with two little boys to enjoy it as much. Thank you for the opportunity to help you downsize! Have a great week!
I’m Kelly a mom of two crazy boys and love working out!
Hi, I’m Mindi and I love to pick scabs.
My name is Lauri & I am addicted to baking & collecting cake stands & cookbooks. I bought an old library cart from my school, painted it, & use it to hold my ever-growing cookbook collection.
Hi, I’m Robyn and I used to work as a 6 foot mascot named Bernie the Bagel Bear. It was awesome.
Hi I’m Laura. Everyone in my family was born in a different state (including the dog).
I’m Cari and I love color-changing cups. Like so you know if the water is still cold. What a fun giveaway. Hope I win!
I like to eat things by the even number. For example, two cookies, not three. If I eat three, then I feel the need to eat a fourth. Weird, I know!
Hi, I’m Katie, and I count things: steps, motions, letters, everything! Another fun fact: I’m actually terrible at math…
My name is kelly. I I like be mind hints (ie I cut my kitchen sponge in half to fit on my mini holder!)
I’m Kim and I hate chocolate.
Hi I’m Amy! My elbows are double jointed, so they overextend. Then I broke one of them, resulting in the the ability to turn my left elbow completely backwards!
I’m Allison and I LOVE being outside. I get depressed if I have to stay inside all day long!
I’m Jessica and I (like Erin #36) count things. Only there’s no point to it. Like I count the silverware as I put it away in the drawer, and I count how many seconds it takes to fill up my cup with water from the dispenser (I can tell you how many seconds it takes to fill up each size cup at my house… frightening, I know).
Hi, I’m Lori and I really love even numbers and balancing my checkbook.
I’m Jim and my list of recipes to try is continually outpacing my capacity to cook them.
I love mixers! I own way more than a normal person should and I have a long list that I would still like to own. It’s kind of like yard work sometimes you need a shovel (my hand mixer) and sometimes you need to bring in the excavator (my bosch). When I put it like that my husband immediately understood the NEED part!
I’m having my third kid in a month. Also I can’t stand microfiber cleaning cloths because they catch on my dry skinned hands.
Hi! I’m amber and I am a bakeaholic. I love chocolate and all things bread, cupcakes, cookies, cakes, bars, basically anything with lots of sugar. Baking is therapeutic to me and therefore I do it almost daily.
Hi, I’m Elise and I honestly think ice cream is the best food in the world.
I am completly obsessed with cookie cutters – but have yet to perfect the perfect cut out and royal icing. <3
