My Gift Up Close

A few of my favorite things giveaway from www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

For my giveaway I wanted it to be something that I use every single day.  Something that maybe other people would like and find useful.  If all else fails, there’s a gift card so you can go buy what you want!!  (affiliate links are used below) 

  1.  Laminator  – read Why I love my laminator so much!
  2. Batiste Dry Shampoo – I have searched high and low for good dry shampoo.  It’s hard to find for dark hair.  The winner can let me know what kind they would prefer. :)
  3. The Rosie Project – a quick, fun read.  One of the books that I loved reading this year.
  4. Mr. Sketch Scented Markers – these markers just make me smile.
  5. $50 Amazon Gift Card – because I use Amazon a lot.  You can sign up for Amazon Prime –  Start Free Trial Now
    (totally worth the fee in my mind – it pays for itself a whole bunch of times over)
  6. Cookie scoop – what I use over and over for baking cookies.  Read my 5 Top Tips for Perfect Cookies every time!

And here are some ideas that didn’t make the cut but that would be awesome.  A practical holiday gift guide if you will:

Practical Holiday Gift Guide- practical gift ideas that everyone will love!

  • A good printer – this is the one that I use.  I have had several but have found HP to be the easiest/most user friendly.
  • Portable Phone Charger – this comes in especially handy when traveling.
  • A 2015 planner –  there are so many cute options.  I love this Kate Spade version.
  • A favorite board game –  give the gift of quality time with some fun board games.
  • Cute binders – get a binder (or 2 or ten) and download some of my binder printables.
  • Sharpies –  you can never have too many Sharpies in my opinion.  Awesome stocking stuffer.

Comments

  1. So I’ve been checking a lot of the 30 blogs almost daily, and half of them have never posted a winner…any idea when that might happen?

  3. When used as insulation material, it is harmless not
    merely to the home occupants but to the installer as well.
    Insulation is the best shield against cold weather.
    This grant scheme is a good start, but will not cover the homeowner, on a
    small budget, who wants to do only part of the things needed at a time.

  5. Hi, I am new to your blog. It looks like you have many AMAZING ideas. I can’t wait to check them out. Great giveaway too :-)

  9. Love your ideas! 6.5 months pregnant and this would be a fabulous prize to win. Thank you for do I ng this giveaway! ♡

  14. It barely let me comment took me 3 hours but would love a chance to use this for crafts Ruth mykids

  21. Just last week my husband said we needed a laminator. Strange the way things happen sometimes. I do thank you for the opportunity.

  22. My pre-teen daughter has become an excellent baker, the cookie scoop and cookie tips would be an excellent gift under the Christmas tree.
    Yes, you are correct- never enough SHARPIES!! A Laminator would be a huge help with my disability advocacy work and speaking engagements.
    Thank you for this generous opportunity! I’m so glad that TidyMom sent me to your site, I look forward to exploring it in further detail.

  24. An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a co-worker who was conducting a
    little homework on this. And he in fact ordered me breakfast due to
    the fact that I stumbled upon it for him…

    lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanks for spending some time to discuss this issue here on your internet
    site.

  25. But as you look out of the window and you see snowdrifts for much of the winter, and
    summers so chilly your barbecue stays in the shed, it’s easy to dismiss the idea
    of global warming, and with it any feelings that you
    might in some way be contributing towards it. But research
    carried out by the National Insulation Association suggests that
    the majority of people are unaware that 60% of heat produced by a
    heating system is lost through poorly insulated roofs and cavity walls.
    Try to only boil what you need – making sure you cover the heating element of
    course, and you should start to see savings.

  29. The laminator looks awesome. This is my first time to your blog. But I am going to follow it on Pinterest!

  34. Your blog is so inspiring. It has so many printables I love! Thank you. Love that you’re participating in this big giveaway.

  37. just found your blog think I will wonder around a bit looks like fun thanks for the chance to win some great things

  40. Not sure how to enter. I’m hoping all I do is comment here. I would love to win this fantastic swag pack! Good luck to everyone entered! :)

  44. You give me some really affordable ideas to be able to gift. I will probably try them this year. Your Website is a very nice one at that.

  46. love the items in your giveaway. how i do know what my pinterest name is? is it my username or the name you find my boards under?

  47. This is awesome! Finally someone who loves sharpies as much as I do:) also, would love this laminator!

  50. Whoa, I love this list! I don’t have a laminator, but everything else on your list and your “didn’t quite make the cut list” are favorites of mine! Maybe I need a laminator to complete me.

  54. Wow! I’ve always wanted a laminator and I’ve heard great things about this one! And who doesn’t love the scented markers! Such a throwback for ’80s kids!

  63. These are awesome items, but I for the life of me cannot find/see the giveaway form, if there is one???

    I definitely want the laminator.
