Giveaway — Blush Bandeaus

Thank you for all your kind comments about my maternity wardrobe yesterday. You're so sweet! Here's a (sort-of) related Giveaway. It's from Blush. They are generously offering three $50 gift certificates. Which means three lucky winners. Yay!

Blush offers "topless undershirts," Bandeaus for your belly. Use them to add a bit of color or pattern underneath a basic tee, or to get more coverage if your low rise jeans feel a little too low — without adding another layer to your shoulders and chest.



Blush offers their bandeaus in pregnant sizes as well. Such a smart way to extend a wardrobe. If I add a Blush, I could continue to wear my favorite tees all nine months.

Leave a comment to enter for your $50 gift certificate — that's enough to try several blush bandeaus — nice. Three winners will be announced here on Monday. Good luck!

Edit: Bonus! Use the code designmom for 10% off your purchase. Its valid until February 1st.

----------

Congratulations to Tricia, The Moncurs, & Isabel! You are the lucky winners. Enjoy your Blush undershirts.

7th Day - Inkubook Giveaway

On the 7th Day of Christmas there were Two Great Big Square Books from Inkubook.
A recurring question I receive is: what's a good way to archive all the photos I've been taking? In response, I love to recommend a good book-making service. Inkubook is one of those services. They have lots of different formats and sizes to choose from. Great prices. And a whole slew of book ideas to help you get started. What will you make? A family album? A keepsake from a wedding? A cookbook?


Two winners of this Giveaway will each receive a code to make a Free Great Big Square Book — Inkubook's biggest and highest quality offering. It's professionally printed on 100 lb. archival-quality silk paper. It's only available in hardcover, and it's customizable on both the front and the back. Valued at $79 each with up to 120 pages. Plus. Because Inkubook loves Design Mom Readers they're offering Free Shipping through December 31st when you use this code: DMFSHP1231.

6th Day - Scanpan Giveaway

On the 6th Day of Christmas there was a Mini Set of Scanpan Cookware.

Made in Denmark, Scanpan is the first producer of nonstick cookware that is certified PFOA free, so it’s safe for you and the earth. But all that seems unimportant once you see the pretty, shiny lids. (Isn't cookware beautiful?) Are there recipes you avoid because you hate cleaning the pan afterwards? Me too. But Scanpan swears all that stickiness is a thing of the past.

Apparently, the Scanpan surface is one of the hardest materials on earth — on the scale that measures hardness, diamonds come in with a perfect 10, and Scanpan classic comes in at 9.5. There is no tool in your kitchen that could damage or destroy the surface. And it can't be scraped away. The winner of this Giveaway will win 3 pieces of Scanpan — an 8" frying pan, a wok and an 11" sauté pan. This Scanpan mini set has a retail value over $300.

5th Day - Pickeled Tink Charm Bracelet

Aren't these charms adorable? Such great color! Such great patterns! The happy winner of this Giveaway is about to have her Christmas wishes granted. She'll win a Bracelet with 10 Charms of her choice. Which is fantastic. Because everyone knows that the more charms a charm bracelet has, the more charming it is. Right? Pickled Tink was created by a mom who loves wearing items with her kid's initials — how great to create a business on such a fun premise — Yay for moms! The Bracelet with 10 Charms retails for $180.

4th Day - Radio City Christmas Spectacular Giveaway

On the 4th Day of Christmas there were Four Tix to Radio City Music Hall's Christmas Spectacular.

This one is especially for my New York peeps or for anyone that will be in New York over Christmas. Or hey. If you know someone in New York, you could also win these, and then send your New York friends a gift. Anyway. Here's your chance to take the fam to the famed Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular. It's got the Rockettes. It's got Santa. It's even got a really lovely live Nativity. I haven't met a person that saw this show and didn't like it.

The 4 tickets are for December 26th at 4:00. You know you'll be bored then. Maybe a little blue that there are no more presents to open. Won't it be wonderful to have the show to look forward to? Guess what else? You can get 25% off ticket purchases through December 19th with the code: ONE2ONE. Tickets range from $52 to 105 — so that's a nice discount!

3rd Day - Remote Control Helicoptor Giveaway

On the 3rd Day of Christmas there was a Remote Controlled Model Helicopter.

Your kids will LOVE this! Who wouldn't? Whenever we see remote-controlled airplanes at the park, my kids aways go crazy. And I keep making a mental note to try one out. From what I hear, the The ultra-micro CX Helicopter is the perfect model to get started. It's small and light and can even fly indoors. It comes fully assembled. Flight tested. And ready to go right out of the box. It even comes with 8 AA batteries — 4 for the transmitter and 4 for the charger. If your family (like mine) is curious about model airplanes, this site is a good place to start. The helicopter retails for about $169.99.

2nd Day - Macy's Giveaway

On the 2nd Day of Christmas there was $160 worth of Macy's Gift Cards.

I don't know if there's another store that knows Christmas like Macy's does. This is what they've got going down right now: Macy's Believe — for every letter to Santa that is placed in the special letterbox in every Macy's store, Macy's will donate $1 to the Make a Wish Foundation. So cool! Your kids write a letter to Santa and raise money at the same time.

Best of all, to thank Design Mom Readers for participating and helping get the word out, Macy's is offering Eight(!) $20 Gift Cards to One lucky winner. That means one of you will be All. Set. Up! You'll be handing out giftcards to your kids' teachers. To the mailman. To your hair stylist. To your sister. Or maybe you'll take all Eight Cards to Macy's and buy yourself some new boots. It's completely up to you. Whatever you decide, it will feel really good to have Eight Macy's Gift Cards in your pocket.

One more thing: Macy's just decided to extend their employee's Friends and Family discount to Design Mom Readers. Whoo Hoo! You can download the Flyer-with-coupon here. Good for in-store and online purchases through December 15th.
