A Complete Set of Lip Gloss from What's Your Virtue

These are the words you will find on What's Your Virtue's Website:

moral character
VIR*TUE
GOODNESS
BEAUTY ON THE INSIDE
[a good quality within us]
a valuable trait
inside and out

I have two daughters.
I love them.
I want the best for them.
I want them to be good and I want them to hear and see good things.
That is why when I read the story behind What's Your Virtue lip gloss, I was glad that there are other mothers who want the same for their daughters and are willing to do something about it. Here is What's Your Virtue's story:

"In the beginning, there was a mother with teen and preteen daughters. While on a shopping trip three years ago, she was made keenly aware of what beauty products were available to purchase. She was shocked at the explicit and suggestive names found on numerous brands of lip gloss. She didn’t feel it was appropriate for her 13 year old daughter to put such messaging in her pocket, let alone on her lips. The mother went home with no lip gloss, but with a strong desire to make a difference. After collaborating with her friends, an idea was born to create a lip gloss that would support a positive message, not only for her girls but for women everywhere."

Here at Give Away Today, we are proud to support What's Your Virtue. We hope you will be too. Their lip gloss would make a great gift for your daughter, granddaughter, your nieces, young ladies in your neighborhood, , etc. It will gently remind them each time they put on their lip gloss of traits such as kindness, generosity, wisdom, simplicity, devotion, and curiosity.

Until the end of December What's Your Virtue is extending a 15% DISCOUNT to all Give Away Today readers. Please use the coupon code "giveaway" upon check-out. Also, if you buy three or more, you will receive FREE SHIPPING.

Today What's Your Virtue would like to give away one complete set of lip glosses--that will include six colors. This giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere. So if you are somebody, somewhere, you can enter to win up to FOUR times today.

A $30.00 Gift Certificate from Freshpair.com

So here's the big question...are you still on the look-out for some great Christmas gifts for your man?

Another question...do you need some new pajamas?

And another...do you ever eat a little too much over the holidays and think some Spanx might be nice to wear come January 1st?

If your answer to any of these is "Yes!", allow me to introduce you to Freshpair.com.

Freshpair.com, the leading on-line retailer of men's underwear and women's intimate apparel, carries all of the leading intimate apparel brands, including Calvin Klein Underwear, Spanx, Wacoal, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Elle Macpherson Intimates.

Customers enjoy the easy and secure on-line shopping experience at Freshpair.com. The knowledgeable Freshpair Customer Care team is ready to answer any questions about products or on-line shopping, and shoppers can also read product reviews from actual customers. Freshpair.com offers free domestic shipping everyday (and excellent international shipping rates).

I just ordered my husband the Diesel Hard-Boxe Hoodie (seen in the first image) from Freshpair. It is one of the only surprise gifts I am giving him this year and I can't wait to give it to him. So if by chance you know him, please don't spill the beans.

If you currently live in the U.S.A., you may enter to win the gift certificate from Freshpair.com up to THREE times.

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

For a second entry, please visit Freshpair.com here. Look at their fabulous products and then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you would use your gift certificate on if you are our winner.
Example: Jane Doe: My neighbor Katrina, who I used to go running with (until I got lazy), has a jacket similar to this one. It looked so warm (and not to mention fashionable) when we would go running in the cold weather. So if I were to win, I would pick the Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-Neck Long Sleeve (it's only $25.00)

For a third entry, yesterday I was in my laundry room and bumped into the broom and it fell off it's hook and, like a dagger, went straight into my toe (it is a metal broom that is missing it's protective knob on the end). After crying, yes I cried, I called my neighbor and she rushed me to the doctor's (alright, we didn't rush, but we were moving at a fast-pace) where I received stitches. Two stitches people!! And a Tetanus shot. And I have to say, the Tetanus shot has been the most painful thing about the whole ordeal thus far. So in a NEW entry, I would like for you to tell me your first and last name and if you (or someone in your family) has ever received stitches.
Example: Jane Doe: Besides yesterday, I also received stitches twice when I was younger and then once in college I took a ski class at Grand Targhee and some friends and I decided to hike to a peak called Mary's Nipple (which at the time was restricted). On the way down the mountain my ski caught an edge and I tumbled head over heels causing me to get 16 stitches and a rather fierce tongue lashing about going into "Restricted Areas".

The winner of the gift certificate from Freshpair.com will be announced Monday, December 14th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. Thanks!

Two Winners will Receive One Item of Choice from DownEast Basics

That's right, TWO Winners will receive ONE item of choice from DownEast Basics. Did you read that right? Of Choice. That means if you are one of our winners, you my friend, can own anything.
At all.
That you would like.
From DownEast Basics.

Allow me to show you just what that means.

It means you could choose this very chic Classic Cord Coat. I just got it from DownEast on Saturday. It is very cool and flattering. My mother-in-law was wearing a corduroy

coat like this past week and I loved it! She told me she bought it years ago. And this made me think, "What a timeless item to buy."

Or for those holiday galas you will be attending, you could choose the Silky Snowflake Cardigan.

Or your item could be the The PJ Pant Set (does your family get to open one present on Christmas Eve? If so, this would be the one for you)

But let's say by some random chance you are not chosen as one of our winners. And I say random because all of our winners are chosen with complete randomness at www.random.com. So if tomorrow is not your lucky day, not to fret. Because Christmas is upon us. And as adults, what do we usually get for Christmas? Clothing. And so if you are not one of our winners, but clothing is on your list this year and you need some ideas, take a gander at these (and then send your husband, your boyfriend, your mom, or whomever it is that will be buying for you this year the link to these great items):

The Rosetta Scarf

The Short Story Sweater

Or The First Lady Skirt

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. DownEast Basics offers so many fashionable items. To see them all, go here. You can get enter to win one item of choice from DownEast Basics up to FOUR times today. This giveaway is open worldwide.

A $30.00 Gift Certificate to Lush Boutique

For my mom's 60th birthday my sisters and I surprised her by taking her to Salt Lake City for dinner, shopping, and to spend the night at a hotel.

A couple of days before our big "Girl's Night Out" I received the most stunning turquoise necklace, bracelet, and earrings from Lush Boutique. I was very excited to wear them with my sisters and mom while we shopped in Salt Lake.

When I walked out adorning my new jewelry from Lush Boutique, my sister said, "Oh my gosh, you look model-ish!"
Who?
Me?
The girl who was once told she looked like a young Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday?
Model-ish?

I don't recall ever being told I looked model-ish. And that's when I decided, when someone tells you you look model-ish, you take it and run, baby. And then you tell others about the brilliant jewelry you were wearing at the exact moment someone told you you looked like a model. Ish.

And so here it is.

The Very Lovely Jewelry from Lush Boutique.

I have decided that it is important to own a few really nice pieces of jewelry.

Some that are classic.

Some that go with everything.

And some that you can pass onto your daughters or nieces.

Lush Boutique offers exactly this type of jewelry (and no, that is not me in the above image). They specialize in fresh and chic handmade jewelry at an affordable price. Their favorite materials to use are turquoise, sterling silver, semi-precious gems, pearls, and basically anything else that is gorgeous. Lush Boutique offers affordable jewelry that is timeless and fashionably chic.

The owner of Lush Boutique says, "I love designing jewelry that makes beautiful women feel even more beautiful."
Or perhaps even, let's say, model-ish?

FREE SHIPPING!! That's right, Lush Boutique is offering the readers of Give Away Today Free Shipping! The discount will be good through December 15th, and readers can receive it by using the code "GiveAwayToday" in the notes during checkout.

Today Lush Boutique is giving away a $30 gift certificate. Regardless of where in the world you live, you may 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 Lush Boutique's website here. Once you have looked around, return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you would spend your $30.00 on if you are our winner.
Example: Jane Doe: I would use my gift certificate towards The Koi -- Green and Blue Turquoise Coin Necklace--so pretty!

For a third entry, last week we asked you to tell us something nice someone has done for you at Christmas time. Today, in a NEW comment, tell us your first and last name and something nice you have done in the past or plan on doing this year for someone for Christmas.
Example: Jane Doe: Last year we did the Twelve Days to Christmas to someone. It was a lot of fun and our kids loved it! Only not-fun part? We were out of town one night and asked someone to deliver the present for us. When she was backing out of the driveway she got in a car accident. It cost $500 (and the person we did it for was staring at her out his window as the cops filed the police report, etc. Needless to say, he became a bit suspicious.)

For a fourth entry, become a Facebook Fan of Lush Boutique here. Once you have become a fan, return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and "Facebook Fan"
Example: Jane Doe: Facebook Fan

Scribble It is Giving Away THREE (Possibly FOUR)
$25.00 Gift Certificates to Their Online Store

I gave my sister Mr. Owl from Scribble It for her birthday.
As soon as I saw him in her laundry room (that's her laundry room in the above picture), I knew I must get a Mr. Owl for my laundry room too.
Because, c'mon, who couldn't use a friend while doing the laundry?
I know I could use a feathered gentleman watching over me as I did my least favorite household chore.
In fact, the only thing better than having a friend watching over you while doing your laundry would be if that friend were to do the laundry for you.
But Mr. Owl's job is not to do your laundry.
It is only to make you happy.
While doing your laundry.
Make sense?

And here are some more items from Scribble It to make you happy this holiday season.
To adorn your home or someone's you know:

Cute

Saw one of these in my neighbor's house--love it!

Beautiful

Unique...and non-breakable

FREEBIE FOR EVERYONE: If you order something from Scribble It and mention Give Away Today, you will receive a a free 8" JOY decal (I got one when I received my Mr. Owl--I'm going to place it on an ornament)

Anyone, anywhere can enter to win one of the $25 gift certificates from Scribble It up to FOUR items today.

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

For a second entry, please visit Scribble It's online store here. You will like what you see--a lot of great ideas for Christmas. Once you have looked around, return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you would spend your $25.00 on if you are our winner.
Example: Jane Doe: I would want vinyl lettering that says "Return with Honor". I would place it above the door in my laundry room. The kids grab their backpacks from the laundry room each morning before leaving for school.

For a third entry, Scribble It is going to offer a FOURTH $25.00 Gift Certificate if there over 1500 comments today. Do you think we can do it? Do you think we can get over 1500 comments today? I think we can. We've done it before, let's do it again. Therefore, spread the word by Tweeting, updating your Facebook Status; sending text or emails to family and friends; or by mentioning today's giveaway at playgroups, around the water cooler, or what have you.

Once you have sufficiently spread the word, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and how you spread it.
Example: Jane Doe: I sent out Give Away Today's monthly newsletter (if you didn't get it, but would like to be on the list, sign up on the right-hand side bar), I also updated Facebook and Twitter to let people know about today's giveaways.

For a fourth entry, see all those buttons on the right-hand side bar?

A rather large guy came and sat down on the chair and it totally smashed my son's hand. Big tears started rolling down his cheeks. The guy apologized and we told him it was okay, it wasn't his fault. He stood up and left. A few seconds later he returned with a brand new Okur jersey and gave it to my son. What a nice man--it made my son's night (and we could rarely get him to take off the jersey thereafter)!

GIVEAWAY #1: An Item of Choice to One Lucky Winner
from The Shabby Thread

I've got a confession to make. I want to look cute on Christmas Day. In fact, it is one of those days that I plan (far in advance) what me and my children (and sometimes even my husband) will be wearing. You know, photos will be snapped, distant relatives will be seen, and all will be having a gay ole' time. So why not look good?

This year on Christmas Day I will be wearing the above bib necklace from The Shabby Thread. Why? Because I like it.
It's unique, fun, and it pops.

The Shabby Thread is a rare site where you can find the latest fashion statement piece, bib necklaces, as well as chic headbands, hair clips, and leather cuff bracelets, all inspired by the hot fabric-floral trend. They have a variety of colors, textures, and a range of styles from shabby chic to formal!

Check out their new exclusive line of toddler & girl's bib necklaces, and even order mommy & daughter coordinating sets.

Example: Jane Doe: I think choosing just one item from The Shabby Thread is nearly impossible. But if I must, I would want The Flirty Bib Necklace. I also have to say that I love the model's red hair. My niece has red hair and I think it is beautiful.

For a third entry, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you did last night.
Example: Jane Doe: My friend Jamie had an ornament exchange party. I had never been to one before and wasn't quite sure what to expect, but it was really fun!

The ornaments are very bright and colorful and will be a lovely addition to our tree.

A Blog Make-Over Valued at $80 from Masto Mama Makeovers

From Masto Mama: I'm Masto Mama, and my nickname is derived from a rare disease that my kids and I have; it's called Mastocytosis, or Masto for short. While my daughter and I only have mild forms of the disease, my 4 year old son's condition is life-threatening, and it makes him very ill much of the time. Even though my husband has a steady job, our medical expenses are very overwhelming. I am unable to leave my son to work outside our home, so I have taken up designing blogs as an avenue to earn the additional money we need to get through each month. When you hire me to make over your blog, the money I earn pays for our medical expenses that we acquire each month. I offer complete custom blog makeovers that are one of a kind, at a low cost.

DISCOUNT: Give Away Today participants will receive a 10% discount on whichever package they choose from Masto Mama Makeovers. Check out my makeover site for details on how to get started--I look forward to the chance to work with you!

One "All is Well" Necklace,
One Necklace of the Winner's Choice,
and One Pair of Madame Bagley Earrings
from Crystal B Handcrafted Jewelry

The other day I went to lunch with a group of ladies to celebrate one of our friend's birthday. I was sitting by my friend Katrina when another friend said, "Where did you get your earrings?" I had on my red Eliza button earrings from Crystal B so I was positive she was talking to me.

But no, she was not talking to me.
She was talking to Katrina.
I couldn't believe it!

Every time I wear my Elizas someone comments on them and I was astonished that another pair of earrings had upstaged my precious Elizas.
But my shock was only momentarily as I turned and noticed that Katrina was wearing my exact same button earrings from Crystal B, in brown.
At this point Katrina and I both went on and on about how much we love Crystal B Handcrafted Jewelry and how we wish we could own every single item she offers.

Take a look at Crystal B's gorgeous vintage jewelry and you will understand why:

Beautiful

Unique

Funky

Goes with Everything

Vintage

Lovely

My sister also loves Crystal B's jewelry and has purchased several pieces. She recently gave her husband Crystal B's website url and told him to pick something out for her and surprise her on Christmas morning. I love this idea! You give him the idea, yet you still get a surprise.

Today Crystal B is giving away One "All is Well" Necklace, One Necklace of the Winner's Choice, and One Pair of Madame Bagley Earrings. This contest is open worldwide. If you are 18 years old or older, you may enter to win up to FOUR times.

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

For a second entry, please visit Crystal B's shoppe here. After you have looked at her beautiful jewelry, please return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and something you wish you owned from Crystal B.
Example: Jane Doe: I would like the Madame Farrer Bracelet. Because, once again, it would go with nearly every outfit.

For a third entry, jewelry makes a great gift; therefore, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and a piece of jewelry that you can find here from Crystal B Handcrafted Jewelry that you would like to give to a friend or family member. You can include the person's first name.
Example: Jane Doe: I would love to give Coke, Sherrill, Sarah, and Brittany the Mrs. Cushing necklace as they all are or all have been a "Cushing"

For a fourth entry, speaking of giving, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and something nice someone has given or done for you for Christmas.
Example: Jane Doe: My husband, two small children, and I lived in Germany a few years ago. One morning just before Christmas there was a knock at the door. We opened it to find a dragon for my son and a doll for my daughter sitting on the doorstep. Nobody was there and there was not a note attached. We shut the door. A few minutes later there was another knock on the door. I opened it to find my mom, my dad, and my niece standing there. I was completely shocked! I honestly thought it was a dream. Surprises are so hard to keep, yet they had managed to travel thousands of miles without my knowledge to give me the best Christmas present I could have received that year.

The winners of the items from Crystal B will be announced tomorrow Friday, December 4th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaways. Thanks!

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY GIVE AWAY TODAY

One day last year while visiting The Pioneer Woman, who hosted giveaways every now and then, I thought to myself, “It would be cool if there was a site that gave something away every single weekday. You would check the blog each day to discover the new giveaway item, receive a discount from the featured company, and see if you were the previous day’s winner.” I started sending emails to companies and wa-la, on December 1, 2008, Give Away Today was born.

This past year I have loved discovering new products and sharing them with the readers of Give Away Today. I have also enjoyed working with the companies I feature. And of course, I appreciate you, the readers of Give Away Today, for visiting the site and for all of your great comments--many that have made me laugh and some that have even made me cry (a good cry).

Thank you for supporting Give Away Today (and all of the companies we feature) this past year! Therefore, in honor of our One Year Anniversary, today we are giving away products from FIVE Different Companies.

Example: Jane Doe: I have already sent Fortunatelys to two people I know. I think Fortunatelys are such a fun and unique gift. I sent one to the gal who organized the Redrock Relay for my team and I sent another to my niece for her tenth birthday. I customized the fortunes which made them that much more special. To my niece the fortunes read,
"May you always have beautiful red hair."
"May you and Minnie (her stuffed animal) be friends forever."
"May you continue to succeed in Mrs. Groesbeck's fourth grade class."
She loved it! And said the fortunate cookie was quite tasty.
