$200 GIVEAWAY:: GET & GIVE WITH MINTED.COM

I honestly have no clue how the holidays have arrived so FAST! But I am not complaining because this is by far my favorite time of the year! How many of you have already started shopping?? I have already purchased a whopping two gifts and will soon be purchasing my holiday cards at Minted.com. This is the only giveaway I've done this year, so you have to know that I'm a huge fan of Minted. They always have so many beautiful options for holiday, Christmas, and New Years. They also offer pretty gift tags, and ribbon to make your gift look extra special. AND they have lots of beautiful options for gifts as well. If your kids love drawing, then there is a great option to get their drawings personalized and framed. That would make a great gift to a mom or dad for their office! Their personalized stationary and notebooks would make great gifts as well. All in all, I've always thought that Minted was a great place to shop if you are looking for that one perfect personal holiday card or personable gift...

So the lovely people at Minted are giving away a $200 credit to use for any purchase on Minted.com! To enter, all you have to do is answer the fun question in the Rafflecopter below! Reading your answers will be fun and give me and other readers some good ideas for the holidays!

A $200 GIVEAWAY: MINTED.COM!

How was the weekend?? I spent a LOT of it in bed under the covers dosing off/working/watching TV and just keeping warm. It was pure downtime and it was kinnnnnnd of amazing... I definitely have a case of the Mondays. If you are feeling the same, then I have something for you that just might cheer you up!!

The holidays are in full force in my world. I've planned our Thanksgiving meal (it's gonna be sooo good), I've started looking through my Christmas decorations to see what needs to be added or taken away, and I've started making my to-do list for the Christmas holidays. So excited! One of the things on my to-do list is to order holiday cards and order artwork to hang in my new bedroom and home office. One place I can get both of those things at Minted.com. I always order my holiday cards from them because they have so many beautiful and personable options. More importantly - they are great quality! The foil-pressed designs have always been my favorite. The real foil (that comes in silver, gold, and now - rose gold!) is so elegant and classy - and currently on sale! And speaking of their foil-pressed designs, have you seen their new foil-pressed art??? LOVE! I particularly love the print of this map (obviously) and the print of this quote (so, so true). Any of the artwork would make great gifts for others - and/or for yourself! Scroll down to see how you could win $200 towards your purchase of these items or anything else on Minted.com!!

To win the $200 credit to use on Minted.com, all you have to do is answer the simple - but fun - question in the Rafflecopter below between now and Friday, November 21st at midnight! I can't wait to read your answers! The winner will be announced below on Monday, November 24th. Good luck!

GIVEAWAY:: SENDING A LITTLE NOTE WITH MINTED (CLOSED)

So I've mentioned several times here that I LOVE pretty stationery. It can be so incredibly personable and being personable in ways other than by text or e-mail seems to be well- a thing of the past these days. I admit that I'm bad about it at times, but lovely stationery always seems to help. One of my favorite places to look for stationery is Minted. They have tons of lovely options and I was lucky enough to test this beautiful set of stationery out. I love the mint green accent color (of course), the striped back and the thickness of the card. Minted is now offering a new TripleThick™ paper option that makes the stationery look even more crisp and professional. Love that!! Their pretty gold striped washi tape seals the deal and adds a little personal touch...

Lucky for YOU, Minted has graciously offered a Savor Home reader (*) a $100 gift certificate to use towards any purchase on their site! If you are already all stocked up on good stationery, then you are still in luck. They offer beautiful art, journals, greeting cards and more! Or if you are a planner like me, you might already be on the lookout for the perfect holiday card... :)

Keep reading for details on how to win + a discount code!

To win the $100 gift certificate, simply enter here!

I'd also love for you to look around Minted.com and come back and tell me what you would purchase if you win!

Enter by Wednesday, July 17th by 11:59 PM PT. The winner will be announced on Friday, July 19th!! 

AND Minted is also offering all of you 10% off + free ground shipping towards all stationery, journals, art and greeting cards. Enter code SAVOR10SHIP at checkout. The code will be good through July 18th.

A Giveaway!! {Lo & Sons}

Hi!! How was your weekend? My weekend was great. I took a quick trip to Florida for work and spent some extra time I had a the beach. There is no other place on earth that is as beautiful as a beach with white sand and blue water. Ahhhh....

A few weeks ago I won a Lo & Sons giveaway hosted by the lovely Camille. Lo & Sons is a great company that specializes in stylish, lightweight travel and laptop bags. I love a bag that is stylish, functional, durable and light on the shoulders and the bag up for grabs is all four of those!!

The lovely people at Lo & Sons are giving a lucky winner The Brookline laptop bag...

AND... The Mott, which is a small crossbody bag that fits perfectly inside of The Brookline and is also great to carry while traveling...

I have both of these bags in black and LOVE them. I carry The Brookline daily and happily accept all of the compliments I get. :)

This video will pretty much tell you how fabulous these bags are in all of 43 seconds... 

Cute right?? The color inside of the bag is a nice surprise. The winner can choose any color of the Brookline or Mott that is currently in stock.

Blogiversary & A West Elm Giveaway!!

I mentioned on Monday that my blogiversary was a few weeks ago. I totally missed it. It was right after busy season ended and my mind was on relaxation and sleep. 

But I am awake now, and I have a little speech prepared. Just a little one.

First, I want to thank you for reading my blog. Savor Home was the creative outlet that I desperately needed a year ago (and still do). At first, I felt like I was talking to myself and was not really sure of what I was doing. Never did I think that so many of you would eventually be reading, listening and looking forward to what I have to say each day. I've always loved fashion and decor, but never did I think that I would love photography, food styling and writing as much as I do now. Never did I think that I would "meet" so many wonderful bloggers whose comments and thoughts make me smile and make me feel validated. I'm so thankful for you!

In celebration of this special day (that was really a few weeks ago), I have a fab giveaway for ya! Many of you commented on these lovely West Elm throws that I posted last week. I bought one last week and they are just as soft as they look in the photo! So I thought I would give one away to a lucky reader! Here is what you need to do to win:

{Mandatory... leave a separate comment for each!}

Follow Savor Home via Google Friend Connect or Bloglovin'

Visit West Elm and tell me your favorite color

My First Giveaway: Gwyneth's Cookbook!!

Hi! I hope all of you had a fabulous Easter weekend! 

Over the weekend, I stopped into Barnes & Noble to do some magazine reading for "free" (we all do that right??) and ran across Gwyneth's new cookbook, "My Father's Daughter." I bought it and read it cover to cover as if it were a juicy fiction novel. The recipes look so delicious! They are healthy and mostly made of fresh ingredients. AND the photos are beautiful.

I was going to host a giveaway at a much later date, but I would absolutely love to give this book away NOW! I think it would be a great Mother's Day gift or just something great for you to use and display in your kitchen. It's already on display in my kitchen!

1. Tweet about this giveaway and mention @SavorHome with a link to this post

3. Blog about this giveaway on your blog

4. Leave a comment telling me what you are going to do with the cookbook
