Today, July 3rd, We are Giving Away Items from THREE Companies...

Giveaway #1: $50 Worth of Products to Girlie Girl Boutique

Sugar and Spice and everything nice…that’s what Girlie Girl Boutique is made of.

Today Girlie Girl is giving away a $35 Gift Certificate to One Winner and a Snappy Wrist to Two Winners.

You know how some people are just so creative? I have a hunch that this shoppe has a very unique, creative designer because I have never seen most of these lovely items before. It’s so exciting to see new feminine, whimsical goodies for girls and women alike.
Girlie Girl’s specialty is their darling bandana dresses. They are hand sewn with convenient racer-back ribbon straps to fit even the tiniest shoulders. Here is one example. So very summery…
Haven’t you noticed how accessories can make a dull outfit come alive? It’s true. A trendy bracelet or pair of earrings can turn a mundane ensemble into something people start talkin’ about. And Girlie Girl’s innovative snappy wristlet is just the ticket. This fabric bracelet cuff has a snap on it so you can snap on a different flower for every outfit- very girlie. I love it (and today Girlie Girl is giving away one to two lucky winners):
Girlie Girl also has hand sewn blankets; this one will have your little one counting sheep and dozing off into dream land… {yawn}
A beautiful flower headband for girlie girls of all ages {sweet} And my favorite item; a handmade rag doll that Girlie Girl will customize. JUST FOR YOU. What little girl wouldn’t want a doll that looks like her? And each doll is ONE-OF-A-KIND, just like your cutie pie. I know you are excited to order and today the early bird gets the worm because Girlie Girl Boutique is offering FREE shipping to the first three people that order and mention Give Away Today in the comments section.

You can enter to win the $35 gift certificate and Snappy Wristlet from Girly Girl Boutique up to THREE times today. This giveaway is open to the U.S. and Canada.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.

Today, July 2nd, We are Giving Away... (CONTEST CLOSED)

A $50 Gift Certificate to CheapUndies.com

Just in case I haven't mentioned this before, I love reading the advice of Reachel Bagley of Cardigan Empire. I believe Reachel has single handedly changed the way I feel about fashion. Not just fashion in general, but more importantly, my own personal fashion. So today I would like to share with you some advice Reachel has given on bras:

“My dear ones, these are your intimates. They cradle you at your most vulnerable sectors. Although only a diminutive division will view them directly, all can perceive the effect of this relationship…Here's the beastly truth: there is an 80% chance that you're wearing the wrong bra size. Your band is likely too big and/or your cup size is presumably too small. Even if you were wearing the right bra size last Valentine's Day, weight shifts, pregnancy, nursing, and age may have transformed your needs.”

This is very true. Thank you, Reachel for your wonderful insight (for more of Reachel’s expert advice on intimate apparel, go here). So what, as women, are we to do? After all, good bras can be expensive. Enter CheapUndies.com.

CheapUndies.com offers the best brands at the lowest prices. Now we can still get an excellent bra without breaking the bank. And here’s the thing, I normally would not buy a bra via Internet, but after taking Reachel’s advice here on how to find the right bra size for me, I knew exactly what to order from CheapUndies.com. The Lily of France Bra in Size (nope, not gonna tell). I first received the Lily in France in black, and after loving it, ordered it in white.

But brassieres are not the only intimates to be found at CheapUndies.com.
CheapUndies.com carries a very extensive line of all types of “wear” including sleepwear, shapewear, panties, mens underwear, mens undershirts, pj’s, socks and much more. And everything CheapUndies.com carries is name brand and marked WAY down.

Here is a shapewear camisole that could really come in handy, don’t ya think? Yeah, I think.
Looking for some great work-out pants? CheapUndies.com has some just for you:
I recently signed up to run in the Red Rock Relay. I may need to buy a few sports bras, such as this one which is also by Lily of France: (by the way, if YOU want to join me and run in the RRR, look at the left-hand side bar for a discount)

CheapUndies.com also has the cutest Paul Frank PJ’s and this robe. I recently bought a short robe to go over my P.J.'s in the morning. I have to admit, it's kinda fun. I feel like I'm a member of the Brady Bunch when I wear it.

Are there some men among our readers today? Perfect! Hey fellas, are you in need of some fresh new undershirts, underwear, or socks? CheapUndies.com has you covered. Here is just one example:I know it will be difficult to choose just one item to buy, so CheapUndies.com is offering a 10% DISCOUNT on all orders of $50 or more until August 1st. What a deal! Especially considering their prices are already low. Now you can purchase under “wear” for the whole family. Just remember to use the code GIVEAWAYTODAY at checkout.

You can enter to win a $50 gift certificate to CheapUndies.com up to THREE times today. This giveaway is only open to those who are living in the U.S. or Canada.

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

For a second entry please visit Cheapundies.com here. Look at all of their many products and find something you would like to have. Then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and the product you would like if you win.
Example: Jane Doe: I love the Paul Frank Monroe PJ set

For a third entry, become a follower of Give Away Today on the right-hand side bar. Do you think we can make it to 2000 today? That would be so exciting. So join on in on the excitement and become a follower. Once you have become a follower or if you already follow, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and the word "Follow".
Example: Jane Doe: Follow

For a fourth entry, subscribe to receive CheapUndie.com's newsletter. To do so, go here. Scroll down on the left-hand side to see where to subscribe. Once you have subscribed, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and the word "Subscribed".

Four different $25 prize packages from Julianna Wolfley with Sensaria Natural Bodycare

A $25.00 Gift Certificate Plus Four Posters
from Natalie Layton Photography

Does anyone out there ever worry? You know, about the Swine Flu, the current economic situation, or whether or not your new pants make you look fat? Yeah, me too. That’s why it would be wonderful to have one of Natalie Layton’s chic posters “Keep Calm and Carry On” hanging in my abode. So wonderful, in fact, that I just ordered this red brick poster from Natalie Layton Photography to frame and hang in my bathroom:


That way each morning, no matter what the day ahead of me holds (and with four kids that could be just about anything), I can look at this poster and think, “Keep it together, girl, and everything will be just fine.”

In 1939 the British Ministry of Information commissioned a number of propaganda posters do be displayed in England at the outbreak of WWII. What did these posters say?


King George VI wanted to assure the populace that all capable measures were being taken to defend the country. Shouldn’t we give ourselves, our children, our roommates, our co-workers (wouldn't this be great for an office) this same visual reminder to remain calm and keep moving forward no matter what is going on in our lives? After all, my dad has always told me that 90% of the things a person worries about never even end up happening. After years of thinking about this advice (and even contemplating doing a research project to see if it was true--yeah, I'm a geek), I have to say I agree with my wise father. Most of the things I worry about never do end up happening (like when I see on the news that a prisoner has escaped a thousand miles from my home and I worry that he might break into my house that night, needn't worry).

Today Natalie Layton Photography is giving away four of these smooth posters. In addition, they are also giving away a $25.00 gift certificate with which you could get:


Beautiful Prints



Your own Customized Photo Cards

Invitations (and more)

Do you really want a poster, but are afraid your number may not get chosen (chosen by total complete randomness, mind you). Well, then we are here to help. Because Natalie Layton Photography is offering a 20% DISCOUNT to our readers. Just convo Natalie before your purchase and mention "giveaway today". Your discount will be applied after your purchase as a refund since it's Etsy and payment is only received through paypal.

One more quick note, Natalie Layton Photography also offers photography sessions in the San Antonio, Texas, area. So if any of y'all are from that area, check out her photography here and give her a call.

There are FIVE ways to enter to win one of the giveaways from Natalie Layton Photography today. This giveaway is open to anyone, regardless of location.

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

For a second entry, please visit Natalie Layton's shoppe here. Browse around for a second. Then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you would like if you win.
Example: Jane Doe: 5x7 Christmas Cards. Wouldn't it be nice to have these done by July? Yes sir.

For a third entry, its not too late to sign up to receive our monthly newsletter. You can subscribe there on the right-hand side by entering your email address where it says “Want to Subscribe to Receive our Monthly Newsletter?” Once you subscribe or if you have already subscribed in the past, you get a third entry.

$150 Worth of Products to Lia Sophia Jewelry from Melanie Lever

How do you feel about companies that stand behind their products? I don’t know about you, but they are my favorite kind of companies and our featured company today, Lia Sophia, is one of them. One time, my darling toddler pulled a little too hard on my beautiful Lia Sophia necklace and it came apart. I had owned this necklace for about two years and was so very sad that I wouldn’t be able to wear it anymore. Well, lucky for me, Lia Sophia came to my rescue with their LIFETIME guarantee! I sent in my necklace and had a brand new one within days. A company that stands behind their products and guarantees? Yeah, that’s where I want to buy my jewelry.

Lia Sophia
has so many beautiful items; there is definitely something for everyone. No matter your style or the style of the person you are buying for, you will be able to find lots of lovely treasures. I took the liberty of giving each of the following pieces from Lia Sophia their own little title:

Goes with Everything

Fun and Funky for Summer

Gorgeous Necklace: With a Fabulous Friend for your Wrist
(because this title is so long I had to add a colon) Stunning
(simple title for simple elegance)

And this is one of my favorite parts about Lia Sophia… their RINGS. You don’t have to spend a fortune to look like you are wearing one. Be nice to your finger, buy it something it will love. Melanie Lever of Lia Sophia is giving away credit towards jewelry to THREE lucky winners today. One prize of $60, one prize of $50 and one prize of $40. Wow—thanks Melanie!

Today we are Giving Away... (CLAIMED)

A $30 Gift Certificate to HooHobbers

HooHobbers specializes in “hard goods” and “soft goods” and they can personalize just about anything. Their hard goods are so great because they are all very lightweight, easy for kids to lift, and easy to take with you on those summer getaways. For example:
Is there a little buckaroo living at your house? What about at your neighbor’s? Or your sister’s? Or do you have a grandchild who would love to pretend he’s riding a bucking bronco or going for an afternoon gallop in the pasture? Well then you have come to the right place today. Because Hoohobbers offers this fun little rocking horse for the cutest of cowboys (and cowgirls). I own this rocking horse for my rambunctious little youngin'. We know it’s his because it has his name on it. He loves to climb on and go for a ride. We can also easily fold it up and take it on the road with us. Giddy-up!

Rocking horses are not the only personalized items Hoohobbers offers. Hoohobbers carries so many fun and creative products; you will want to clear some time in your schedule to browse through all of them. Why don’t you go ahead and clear that time right now. Did you do it? Perfect, we’ll go ahead and help you get you started with your browsing.
Hoohobbers offers cute kid-friendly chairs: They have a lot products for kids, but also a few items for Mom like this very stylish and customizable diaper bag Or this fashionable laundry basket (I guess this technically goes in the kids room, but let’s face it, we have contact with this item the majority of the time)
There are plenty of Baby Moses baskets to choose from. They even have matching doll baskets- my girls would be in heaven. And for school-aged kids, a personalized lunch box. I almost feel as though you can never have enough lunch boxes for your kid. There must be a big black hole at school that sucks in lunch boxes. But a personalized lunch box? Now that's the ticket. Nobody's going to mistake your kid's lunch box for their own when your child's name is clearly written on the side. HooHobbers wants all of you to be able to try out some of their products, so they are offering a DISCOUNT coupon code for 15% off your purchase, valid from June 23, 2009-July 7, 2009.

Today we are Giving Away... (PRIZES CLAIMED)


TWO $45.00 Gift Certificates to the Chic Online Store Scribble It!

“You’re stronger than you seem;
braver than you believe;
and smarter than you think you are."

Wouldn’t you love for your sons or daughters to wake up and read this message every morning when they walk out of their room? My sweet neighbor ordered this quote in vinyl lettering from Scribble It. She lovingly placed it in the hallway outside her three sons' bedrooms—ages eight to thirteen. A daily reminder to each of them that they are strong, courageous, and intelligent.

I can imagine in a few years someone asking one of my neighbor’s boys what their favorite quote is. I’m sure my neighbor would love it as a mom if one of her boys perfectly recited the above phrase. Helping your child to be inspired? That’s a good thing.

Scribble It can custom create any quote you have I mind. In fact, they love custom orders so much that they will soon have a new website with a "Design Center" where you can create your own design in your chosen font, color, and size. You can then purchase it right there. Sounds pretty easy and fun. Don't ya think?

Allow me to show you some of the very cool and very affordable vinyl lettering possibilities from Scribble It:
How Sweet It Is!



This cute little owl? Yeah, I got it from Scribble It and gave it to my sister for her b-day. When she enters her laundry room he is sitting there waiting for her. A not-so-enjoyable task to do with a fun feathered friend.

Scribble It also offers chalkboard Vinyl in a variety of shapes and sizes, works perfect in any room - from the kitchen menu to artistic hands in bedrooms.


And of course, Scribble It offers a huge assortment of Wall Art. Decorate your home with Scribble It's beautiful wall art. More designs coming soon!

For those of you who are in charge of Super Saturday/Enrichment Activities - Scribble It has a whole section specifically designed for group activities. Their Holiday Metal art is very popular! If you are interested in coordinating one of these activities, send an email to scribbleit@msn.com.

DISCOUNT Time: Scribble It will be doing $1.00 Shipping From June 23 to June 26th. Sweet!

You can enter to win one of the $45 gift certificates to Scribble It up to THREE times today. This is open to anyone anywhere in the world. So go ahead and give your friends in Mexico City, Paris, or Berlin a call and let them know about today’s giveaway. I’m sure you will receive a very grateful Gracias, Merci, or Danke!

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

For a second entry please visit Scribble It here. Click on "Original Scribbles" on the top menu bar. Look at Scribble It's wide array of vinyl lettering. Then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you would like with your $45 gift certificate if you win. Did I say $45.00? Yes I believe I did. That's mighty generous of you, Scribble It! Thank you!
Example: Jane Doe: Knobby Knee Birds and Set of Three Vinyl Chalkboard Circles

For a third entry, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and your favorite room in your home (or apartment, or whatever it is in which you reside). And we're nosy, so be sure to include why it's your fave.
Example: Jane Doe: My bedroom. My husband surprised me for my b-day and did a total make-over on our room. He received no help with the colors, style, or anything. He is a brave man indeed. The end result was perfect! I was delighted to see that he knows my tastes so well.

The two winners of a $45.00 gift certificate each from Scribble It will be announced tomorrow, June 24th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. Thanks!
