Today is an exciting day! Why, you ask? I’ve teamed up with some of my creative blogger friends to bring you a fabulous giveaway of some of our favorite things!
From sweet treats to handmade decor to crafting supplies, we have ideas for your holiday gift shopping covered.
If you’re stopping by from one of the other blogs for the first time, welcome! I invite you to follow along on Pinterest and Instagram!
Ready to see what I’ve got for you?
Over the holiday break, one of my favorite things to do is cozy up by the fireplace with a good book. It’s a time of year when I’m actually able to put the to-do list on hold, enjoy my family and friends, and rejuvenate with a little ME time.
Quite often, it’s the simplest things in life that make me happy….
The warmth of a hand-stitched quilt
A good cup of coffee in a beautiful mug
A “pull me in” book
So, I’ve gathered these 3 items to giveaway to one of you!
Quilt
A while back, I fell in love with these kantha throws from Dignify that are handmade in Bangladesh using reclaimed sari cloth. How cool is that?
Each one is hand-stitched with care and unique in design. No two quilts are exactly the same.
Want to know the best part? The women who make these throws were once living on the street, often forced into sex work or in a vulnerable state of heading there. Now they have better lives! You can read more about their stories here.
If you win, you will be able select a kantha throw of your own thanks to Dignify! (note: throws below are subject to availability)
Be sure to check out the other unique gift ideas from Dignify. I think your friends and family will love a gift that PROMOTES DIGNITY, EMPOWERS HUMANITY & CHAMPIONS GOOD, don’t you?
Mug
How can you bring a bit of joy to your everyday? For me, it’s sitting down and enjoying a cup of coffee or tea without any distractions.
And it’s so much better when the mug is as beautiful as this one I picked up at a local shop.
If you win, I’ll be sending a mug just like it to you!
Book
Readers know there’s no better way to escape than with a good book. Around here, life’s a little busy at the moment, but I have a list of good-reads I can’t wait to get my hands on after Christmas, starting with The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters. Have you read it?
If you win, you’ll receive a $20 Amazon Gift Card to pick out a book of your own!
Total value of all 3 items is over $128!
