Prizes Prizes and a Giveaway!

Hi Everyone.  Hope your week is going great.

I wanted to share some more of my preparation for my girlfriend Christmas party with you.

I showed you the Walking Taco appetizer in my last post.  You can see that here.

Today I want to show you some of the prizes I have for the girls at the party to win.

Here is one of the prizes.  I put together Josh Groban's beautiful Christmas CD and a Josh bottle of wine.  Yep! with all the holiday hoopla I think a time out with some sweet wine and Josh playing in the background is a must at this time of year.  So one of the lucky girls will win this.

I bought two of these rescue mugs from the Rescue Agency we adopted Cooper.  They were having a fund raiser and I bought these sweet mugs for prizes.  I am attaching a Starbucks gift card with each mug.  My theme at my party is charity and gifts that give back so these will make for perfect prizes.

Cooper is very excited to have the agency that rescued him benefit from me buying these mugs.  LOL Cooper loves to sit in the booster car seat of my granddaughter Abby.  Crazy boy!
Tied the mugs off with the Starbucks gift cards and they are ready for the girls to win.

Another fun prize is a spa gift.  If you want wonderful restful sleep this Pure Spa oil diffuser is great.  You fill it with water and put a few drops of your favorite oil in the top and it runs for 4 to 6 hours putting the lovely scent into the air. Helps you have sweet dreams and a good night rest.   I have one by my bedside and love the lavender for a great night sleep.
Makes your room smell great too.  You can buy several different oils to use in these.  I am giving the lavender and peppermint with this one. 


Have you seen these cute Wish Jar's.  I got this one through the Make A Wish Foundation.  They were selling these to raise money to help make the wishes of children with cancer wishes come true.


I am going to use this jar  for each of the girls to put a thoughtful wish and their name in the jar.  I will then pull out the names and they will win the above prizes the night of the party.

The kit comes with the jar to fill and wish tags along with a pen to fill out the tags.  Very cute idea.  I have also seen these jars sold in gift shops for special occasions like weddings.  

I got some Jingle All The Way pink and gold sparkle bags to put the prizes in.  Found these cute jingle bags at Home Goods.  




 Now on to the Give Away!!!!!!












I purchased this cute little Shop Black Friday tote on Etsy for a giveaway on my blog today.  I have not done a giveaway in a very long time so it was time.  I also think it is so important to buy gifts from small community crafters and business.  Etsy has so much talent and wonderful ideas for gifts.  I do a lot of my shopping for gifts on Etsy.

So how fun will it be for one of you die hard Black Friday Shoppers to have a sparkle tote bag?!
Love how fun and full of sparkles this tote is.

So all of you that like to be out with all the crazy's on Black Friday (me included in this group)  here is a sweet tote for you to try and win.
I really do not need anything that is offered on Black Friday but my daughters and I love to be in the crowd of people.  Watching the die hard black friday shoppers trying to get that one TV or electronic item or blender etc. etc.  at that very reduced price is fun to see!  We get a kick out of this day every year.

So to win this tote
  all you have to do is leave me a comment.  That's it.  You do not have to post anything anywhere, go to a million social media sites or like me on my IG or Facebook!  Nope just leave me a message here that you want to be in the drawing for this tote.  I got this and want to share it with all of you for being loyal and fun friends that visit and leave me sweet comments.

So it is easy peasy.  Stay calm and shop on!!!!  If you are a no reply then you will have to leave me a way to contact you if your name is drawn.  Come back on Sunday and I will have the winner posted.  Good luck.
We are beginning the downhill slide into the holidays!  So to kick off my start to the holiday season I want to share a give away with all of you.

Enjoy the week ahead.
Good Luck
Hugs,
Kris

    Second, I have quite a few smaller gifts I need for girlfriends and got some great ideas from you here...perfect....

  42. Great prize ideas Kris, you are a very good at picking items that I think anyone would love to go with. Cooper is just hysterical in the booster seat! Ha! That made my day...and Black Friday shopping, huh? When I was in college and getting my master's, I worked in or managed just about every retail store from Pottery Barn and The Children's Place to Esprit and Coach. I have seen enough Black Fridays to never need to go to a mall again on that day. Ever. ;) (I still have nightmares!!) Enjoy the shopping though! You and your girls have the right spirit!

  43. I'm late to the party but wanted to say how incredibly wonderful these gifts are!! You are so generous and I know your friends loved them! I'm going to use the "Josh" gift idea. A friend of my daughter's last name is Josh and she calls me her "Texas Mom" as I *adopted* her years ago. :) Her real Mom lives in VA and they don't get to see each other very often. Thank you for sharing these great ideas!

    Cooper is adorable! My boy sits on top the console, between the 2 front seats while waiting for me to get gas, run into the cleaners, etc. They make our hearts sing don't they?
