My Gift Up Close

 

We’re thrilled to be participating in the one of my favorite giveaways ever (See what I did there?). I just love to see what other women have as their FAVORITE things. You know, those little things that just make you smile. The things you’d love to fill your cart with every time you hit the store. WE’re joined forces with some powerhouse ladies to create the ultimate FAVORITE THINGS giveaway. (Cue Oprah screaming…..).

1

In our box, you’ll win:

1. An insulated cooler in my favorite tribal print. I take these babies everywhere. Soccer treats. Picnic lunches. Potluck dishes. All fit perfectly inside.

2. Waterproof blanket. I always keep one of these in the car. They fold up compact and even fit in my diaper bag.

3. Blinged out Hat. Let’s be honest. I don’t always have time to wash, much less DO my hair. These hats are the perfect solution. People will think you’re so put together….even when you’re NOT!

4. Bakers Twine. This twine makes EVERYTHING look cute. I tie it around packages, cupcakes, mason jars etc. Just adds that little extra special touch.

5. Washi Tape. Who doesn’t love washi? See lots of fun things to do with it HERE.

6. Nails INC Matte Nailpolish. I’m not a huge color girl and I love this neutral color I got from Glossybox. It gives my nails such a clean look.

7. Mineral blush from Natural Source Minerals. I am 100% obsessed with mineral makeup and this is my favorite brand. It goes on so smooth and looks more natural. AND, you can get  free shipping on purchases over $20 with code “HDSFREESHIP”.

8. Kraft fabric mini banner. These are the sweetest, simplest touch to every celebration. They can grace the top of your next special baked good. Wouldn’t they be cute on a Thanksgiving pie?

9. Boot Socks. I’m a skinny jeans and boot girl and these boot socks are perfect for Fall/Winter. I love how delicate they look under even a heavy boot.

10. Polka dot baking cups. Whip up some muffins or cupcakes and put them in these baking cups. They’ll look as yummy as they taste!

    Curling up on sofa with a soft blanket, heater on on, hot tea brewing with tablet checking email, netflix or playing a game. I love the quietness I get to have after son has gone to school and husband to bed(overnight worker). It brings me peace each day. Thank you

    Normally, I would say my family, but I know that’s not really what you mean… My kids just don’t fit in the shopping cart anymore. I love to buy craft supplies like: yarn, fabric, buttons, and thread! I also love to go to the hardware store because I’m always working on a project around the house.

    I love Pure shine curls lotion! My hair curls best if I let it air dry, but if I do that without product, I wish I could go back to the 80s, so I’d be a trend setter. : ) Mousse sometimes works and gel never works (too crunchy). This stuff is easy to put in and let it dry with great results! Still totally touchable and more defined curls! 🙂

    Batiste dry shampoo!! The chemicals in it are awful, but it’s still the best I’ve found for a quick refresh when I wake up late or have to go out for something other than the grocery store in a rush.

    I love my diaper bag from JJ Cole. I can’t remember what the name was now but it’s cute, functional, and was affordable! I get lots of compliments on it.

    Your generous basket would be shared with my daughter and myself for Christmas.
    My favorite is the waterproof blanket that would be so helpful with my wheelchair and bad weather. The cooler would help on long journeys to Specialists at a great distance for packed food. A gorgeous hat on a bad hair day would also be perfect!
    Thank you for your generous opportunity! I’m so glad that TidyMom sent me to your site, I look forward to exploring it in detail.

    Surprisingly enough….Issey Miyake Men’s Cologne…..yes, a woman wearing a men’s cologne….was told over 15 years ago by a dept. store perfume counter-lady to try it…..that she’d heard that “men go crazy for it.” And, she was right! It’s my signature scent….And, I’ve actually had total strangers stop me in public to ask me “what are you wearing! It seems incredible!” LOL!!!
