Holiday Picks & Giveaways 2008 - Day 2

[This giveaway has ended: Thank you for visiting with us during our Holiday Open House - WE HAVE A WINNER - congratulations, Karissa!!!]

Welcome to Day 2 of our Holiday Picks & Giveaways 2008 (November 24 - December 1) sponsored by some of the most awesomely generous brands I know, who have graciously agreed to provide some really cool stuff for Her, Him, the Grandparents...okay, isn't it time we ALL put the WIN back into the winter holidays and made re-gifting a rule?!?

Seriously, I've got some really great stuff to share with you.

Our kick-off giveaway drew over 170 responses -- Holy Craps! -- what a great way to celebrate the beginning of Thanksgiving week!

Raising 4 kids (we'll have two teenagers in the house, this year) my husband, Garth (not his real name) and I are trying (really hard) to remember to take back the holidays and keep it as stress free as...well...you know, we've got a little something for everyone and giving away some pretty cool stuff, too:

Day 1 - For the Outdoors:  Lands' End Collection of Warm Fuzzies

Day 2 - For Him: Man Spa Gift Package from Sothys Paris - Because, He's Worth It...too!

Day 3 - For the Home:  Deck the Halls, Clean the Floors and Green Gift Giving

Day 4 - For the Grandparents:  Gift of the Christmas Cookie

Day 5 - For the Whole Family:  Black Friday Night at the Movies...um...Night!

Day 6 - For the Kitchen:  Pillsbury Home is Calling Gift Basket

Day 7 - For the Toy Box:  The Discovery Store

Day 8 - Gifts that Give Back:  Save the Oceans, Adopt a Creature!

My picks, product features and blog posts, as always, are advertorial free.  No one is paying me, to talk about their product.  It's just some really nice stuff that I thought you guys would like, too.

Let's get started, okay?

Sothys Paris is a luxury French skincare and spa line -- I had the pleasure of working with Sothys in promoting their line of skin care for women and hosted one of our most popular giveaways, to date -- then, I was excited to learn that they have a line of skin care for men, too!

Why not...I mean, when was the last time my husband, Garth (not his real name) took the time to try something new, or take care of his skin?

Last month, actually -- when Sothys sent us a sampling of their more manly-type skin care products, because he SO happens to be worth it, too -- shhhh...don't tell my husband's co-workers.  He's the only man, in an office of 9 women, 'nuf said.

Then again, Sothys Homme line boasts Phytomalt -- a hydroglycolic complex selected from the distillation of malt from Scottish whiskey that is sure to impress any man on your list -- so, it's all good!

Want one?

Sothys Paris is offering to send one of our readers a Man-Spa Gift Package with a line of skin care products for Him, including their New Exfoliating Scrub for Men, Detoxifying Active Cleanser and Hydrating Active Care to keep his face clean, shiny and hydrated.

Because, he's so worth it and (even if he's not) at least, he'll look good :)

[Retail Value:  $100.00]
