[This giveaway has ended: WE HAVE A WINNER - Congratulations, Janet F!!!]
Welcome to Day 1 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 entries -- 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?
LandsEnd.com has been keeping the Internets warm since 1995 -- when they first launched their online catalog, featuring 100 items -- today, they boast over 100 outerwear styles that are scientifically tested to keep us warm.
I love Lands' End and really don't know any people who, you know, don't!
Even my husband, Garth (not his real name) who hates bulky jackets (like, I do) will find this Men's Regular Down Vest irresistible (like, me, just kidding) and even he won't be able to deny the fact that (at $29.50) it is a pretty gosh-darned-good deal and (with 11 different colors to chose from) this goose down vest is a decent pick for a guy, even.
He'll love the fact that it's a snap front (hates zippers) with a light layer (like, a long-sleeved turtleneck) is enough to keep him warm in 15 degree weather.
Once, I give it to him, I mean...shhhh...don't tell him, 'mkay?!?
[Retail Value: $29.50]
Even the kids won't be able to keep their hands (or backsides) off this super-comfortable Kids' Sleeping Bag Set,
which I think would make an absolutely wonderful gift for a
grandchild...especially, a 9-year-old boy grandchild...who happens to
be inviting a slew of friends over for his first birthday sleepover
party in January...hint...hint...hello...can you hear me now, Grandma?
You can even get it monogrammed in 50 different colors and everything!
[Retail Value: $59.50]
I recently had the privilege of reviewing the Women's Regular Long Sleeve Cashmere Tee Sweater (okay, say that 3 times, really fast) and spent the entire day taking kids to school, working, running errands, picking kids up from school and, well, did I mention it's cashmere?
[shudder]
It's designed to flatter (not hug) your curves and easily layers under jackets and, let me tell you, those people at Lands' End really know what they are doing.
The casual look of a tee-shirt and the softness (not to mention, the warmth) of the cashmere made me feel all comfy-cozy, inside and outside, while waiting in the school parking lot, for hours.
Oh, and it didn't itch -- nope, it's official the most comfortable sweater I own -- did I mention, it's cashmere?!?
[Retail Value: $79.50]
