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.
Hi Kate…I love family get togethers, one of our fav holiday activities is a night time easter egg hunt. In the back yard, after dark, all our neighbors bring a bag of individ wrapped candies and a ‘prize’ for each kids….we throw it out all over the yard and let the kids find it in the dark with a flashlight. We also do indoor trick or treating where the parents go behind insidedoors and let the kids come knock….that way the parents get to see their kids faces as we open the door.
I have only one thing I can’t stop myself from buying, and that’s BOOKS.
Hi! I’m Valerie, and I was the only blonde in my high school mariachi band.
Hi. I’m Angela and sometimes I find myself talking wike my free-year-ode.
Hi! My name is Adina and I like to eat my kit kats and twix bars in a very special way by eating the top layer of chocolate off first. It drives my husband nuts!
My favorite season is fall!
Hi Kate! I’m Apryl. I’m a newlywed and brand new homeowner who loves all things holiday. My husband and I had our first argument about when it’s appropriate to put up the Christmas tree. (The day after Thanksgiving, obvi.)
Hi I’m Lauren, but my name isn’t really Lauren, it’s Christina, but no one ever calls me by it. So, really, I’m not sure who I am! =)
Hi I’m Emily and I love to go to the dentist. There’s nothing in the world like freshly cleaned teeth. Ahhh…
I’m Diana, mom of 5(!) boys, I hate red meat and I believe chocolate is a daily necessity!
I would love to get a random box of stuff! Random fact about me: I like to drink the milk from a cereal bowl first before I eat the cereal. 🙂
Hi I’m Janell! I love living my childhood through my two girls. If I find/see a toy that I had as a kid or wanted as a kid I will get it for “my girls” ( when who am I kidding I get it for me….I want to play with it!!)
Hi, my name is Melissa and I have a problem finishing projects. I love to pretend to be crafty, but I very rarely finish. My husband hates it!!
Hi my name is Kacey and I always save the best bite of my meal for last. My husband almost didn’t make the cut because he loved to steal the last bite of my meal and a much meaner form of myself would emerge.
Hi, my name is Kim and I’m obsessed with perfect vacuum lines in the carpet! 🙂
Hello! I’m Amy. My weird thing is that I won’t throw things away until they are completely (I mean, the last drops of ketchup have been pounded, the shampoo rinsed out, or crumbs of chips eaten) gone. It drives my husband crazy, but I can’t waste it.
I love card stores (like Hallmark).
Hi! I’m Alissa and I absolutely love doing our monthly budget. I look forward to it all month and am sad when I finish and have to wait another month! I’m also in love with spreadsheets and am currently obsessed with the one I made to track our mortgage and can adjust it to how much extra we pay on it and love seeing that we’ll finish at least 15 years early!
Hey, I’m Judson and I love cooking. Fell in love with OurBestBites in 2011 and have followed you ever since. Love cooking but lack useful kitchen gadgets to simplify the process, so I often resort to frozen or boxed dinners. But cooking from scratch is my favorite.
Hi, I’m Heather! I think I may be the only (or 1 of very few) that hates all things flavored pumpkin. Completely grosses me out. I am also notorious for buying craft/sewing items, and IF I actually start the project, never finishing it.
Hi, I’m Rebecca! I look cooking even though I have seven children under the age of 12…including a set of fraternal twins. They were a big surprise since twins definitely do not run in my family!
Hi, I’m Karen! I love browsing Pinterest for cool crafts and DIY projects but it takes nearly an act of God for me to actually use one of those industrious pins. Help!
Hi, my name is Rachel an I am afraid of getting my eyes poked out, so a lot of things make me flinch.
I love to cook and bake but I have a hard time following recipes. I’m always trying new ideas, taking short cuts or swapping ingredients. My goal is to follow a recipe start to finish with no tweeks!
I always have to stop and look at the pans and kitchen gadgets whenever I go to the grocery store. Most of the time I don’t need any, but it gives me pleasure to look at them and imagine what I might make with them.
I love being a mom and I love to bake 🙂
I’m a labor and delivery nurse and I can touch anything as long as I’m wearing gloves. 🙂
Super fun to read what everyone’s “thing” is! Mine is that I’m a math geek. When I was in high school I did some work for a friend of my parents copying contact info onto 3×5 cards and to entertain myself during this horribly boring job I would check to see if the phone numbers “canceled out” (could be added and subtracted to get to zero). When I got to college, I took it as a good sign that my dorm room phone number canceled out.
Hi, I am Brooke and I have six sisters and five brothers and love getting “stuff” for free!!
