Unless you’ve been in hibernation or immersed in a deep coma, financial analysts and retailers alike are anxious over your holiday spending this season (or lack thereof). Last year was the bleakest on record, and this year promises a marginal rebound. We’re holding on to our wallets, hawking our savings, and buying necessities. Our splurges are minimal. Over the past few weeks I’ve been reading your emails and suggestions, and while I know that a bottle of perfume or a scrub may not save your life or infuse cash into your depleted 401K, it’s a small light, a sweet token, a gift for being you and working hard to stay afloat.
So I’m dedicated to spreading the joy this holiday season, and this week I’ve nearly $300 worth of goodies to give away to TWO LUCKY WINNERS. Please note the following:
Contest expires Saturday, December 5th at 6pm EST
To enter, leave a comment below. Please do NOT LEAVE MULTIPLE COMMENTS. Multiple comments will be deleted
Winners are not arbitrarily picked, they are selected at random
Regrettably, due to exorbitant overseas shipping fees, I can only ship prizes to those who live in the U.S. Shipment is via parcel post
There are a total of six items in this contest. Two winners will win three of the items, selected at random. Translation: you cannot pick which three items you want of the lot
When logging your comment, please ensure that your email address is valid
Winners must respond within one week of notification. If not, I will select, at random, another winner
Onward! Get delicious by entering to win the following loot:
