Until November 23rd we are Giving Away Products from FOUR Companies...


Giveaway #1: A $35.00 Gift Certificate to Creating Photo Memories

Today's giveaways are for those of you who need to get a gift for someone who is either:

a) hard to shop for
or
b) has everything

We want to give you some fresh new ideas. So here we go...

Creating Photo Memories is where you create memories from your photos. It's not about a complicated login. It's about creating photo gifts quickly and easily, so that you can get back to doing what you want to do, and that's taking pictures!

Their software allows you to see what you are creating, as you are creating it (in 3D). At Creating Photo Memories you can create photo books:


photo t-shirts and mouse pads:


ceramic mural tiles and photo luggage tags (for parents and grandparents who travel)


photo puzzles, and more in just minutes!

My personal favorite? Personalized calendars. I have made my in-laws a calendar every year for the past thirteen years. They love it because it displays pictures of their loved ones. And I love it because I do not have to come up with a new gift idea each Christmas. I have also started giving one to my husband each year to hang in his office. I order the same calendar for our home. I will be ordering our calendars from Creating Photo Memories this weekend. One less thing I will need to do when the craziness of December hits.

Ready for the good news (for both me and you)? During the month of November, Creating Photo Memories has the photo calendars as their DISCOUNTED item. Their photo mugs will be their discounted item in December.

Today Creating Photo Memories is giving away a $35 gift certificate. They will also send the winner $4.95 for Shipping and Handling. This giveaway is only available for residents of the US or Canada, so if you live in either of those places, go ahead and enter to win up to THREE times today.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry, please visit Creating Photo Memories' website here. Look at all they have to offer and then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you would spend your $35.00 on if you are our winner.
Example: Jane Doe: I, of course, would get personalized calendars. Although I also think it would be a lot of fun for my kids to put together a puzzle of themselves.

For a third entry, speaking of the craziness of December, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and something you hope to get done in November before that crazy month of December arrives.
Example: Jane Doe: Okay, here it is, and it's a biggie. But I hope to get that darn basement of mine organized. Is there anyone else out there who, like me, tosses items down into your unfinished basement and then a few months have gone by and hello--you can't even walk around down there? Yeah, that's the something I hope to get organized/accomplished by December.

The winners of the $35.00 gift certificate from Creating Photo Memories will be announced Monday, November 23rd. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. Thanks!

Therefore, First & Girl would like to give the readers of Give Away Today a 10% DISCOUNT off any order from now until December 18th. Use the code "firsttime10" at check-out. Wouldn't this jewelry be a fun and unique Christmas gift for the BYU or U of U fan in your life?

A $40.00 Shopping Spree to Sophie's Chic Boutique

I recently made a decision in my life.

I decided that each Christmas I am going to ask for an outfit similar to the following:


I received one last Christmas and the Christmas before--and I love them.
So this Christmas when my husband asked me what I would like I thought, "I need to get me another one of those outfits."
And then I decided, "Not just this year, but I need to get me an outfit like that every year."

And so there you have it. Every Christmas I am going to get me a comfy/cute/chic outfit. One that I can wear on those days I'm staying in, yet (and here's the beauty of it), I can also wear on those days when I am headed out to the store, gym, or to hang with my sisters.

GIVEAWAY #1: Cards Sets from Any Horrible Occasion
to THREE Different Winners


Have you ever received a Thank You card from someone to whom you had sent a Get Well card? Believe it or not, I actually did last month. I sent my friend, who unfortunately broke her pelvis in an ATV accident, this card from Any Horrible Occasion:

The inside inscription reads, "Like a Kidney Stone"

She sent me the thank you card to let me know that the card had made her and her husband laugh and that it had brightened their day.

Mission Accomplished.

Last week I sent another friend, who had something unfortunate happen to her recently, a scarf and this card from Any Horrible Occasion:

The inscription reads "When it rains, it pours"

She sent me the following in an email:

"Just want you to know how fun it was getting a flippin' awesome scarf in the mail along with a flippin' awesome card that made me laugh and cry all at the same time. Love the card...it's so my kind of humor. Thank you so much for taking the time to brighten my day."

Any Horrible Occasion has this to say about their unique cards:

"Your best friend was just diagnosed with cancer. You're looking through the card racks and see yet another sympathy card with pretty flowers and 'I'm so sorry!' printed in fancy letters. Seriously? Yes it's terrible. She has two dozen cards to remind her of how everyone is solemnly thinking of her 'in this difficult time'. But where's the card to make her laugh?? Always funny and never mean, Any Horrible Occasion cards talk honestly about the worst that life dishes out-- divorce, cancer, taxes, menopause, and yes, even a birthday."

I whole-heartedly agree with Any Horrible Occasion's theory. When I received their cards for review, I was having a good ole' time reading and laughing at the cards. On the back of each card you'll find funny facts (some true, some not) about the famous painting or sculpture pictured on the card (those little facts had me in stitches).

Allow me to show you just one more of my favorites:

Inscription: May all your dreams for retirement come true.

The thing is, when you read one of their cards, you will know just the right person to send the card. But be warned: after you send it to that person, be prepared to hear how much he or she liked it.

Want to hear something that's just as cool as Any Horrible Occasion's cards? They're offering the readers of Give Away Today FREE SHIPPING for the rest of November on orders of 3 or more cards. You will need to select "Free Shipping" when you place your order.

Today Any Horrible Occasion is giving away:
First Winner: 24 cards of their choice
Second Winner: 12 cards of their choice
Third Winner: 6 cards of their choice

No matter where you reside in this fine world of our's, you can enter to win up to FOUR times today.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry, please visit Any Horrible Occasion's website here. Look at their hilarious cards and then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and a card of Any Horrible Occasion's that you like.
Example: Jane Doe: Another card of AHO's that I like is One Good Thing--I am going to give it to my grandpa-in-law for his birthday. Each year at his party when he receives a card, it is passed around for all to see. I think everyone will think One Good Thing is a witty one.

For a third entry, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and the names of three people who you think could use a funny card from Any Horrible Occasion. Remember, Any Horrible Occasion is offering FREE SHIPPING when you buy three or more cards.
Example: Jane Doe: Faye, Marge, and Coke

For a fourth entry, see the companies on the left-hand side of Give Away Today? They have some great products for you or someone you know for Christmas. Visit at least three of their shoppes and then in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and the three companies you visited.
Example: Jane Doe: Toy Box Tees (cutest tees); PhotoKami (priceless pictures); and Snuggleluv (adorable clothing)

The winners of the cards of choice from Any Horrible Occasion will be announced tomorrow Wednesday, November 18th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. Thanks!
