12 Days of Giveaways – Day 8

On the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me… eight maids-a-milking? It’s hard for us to imagine how we’d pull that off, or even if it’s legal these days, so we’re just going to do Day 8 of 12 Days of Giveaways.

First things first: today’s winner. Jami Dow found the Monarch Walnut Chess Set With Storage, posted it to our Facebook page, and sends money to Australia every time someone says  “checkmate.”

From this point on in the giveaway game, the “I Found It” button will be buried under a bit more snow. You’ll have to look in the “Details & Dimensions” tab of the item to find it – so get out your lined gloves and start digging!

The halls are decked, the chimney is greased, and most of the home’s cosmetic issues have been merrily swept under the rug. There’s just one more thing – remember all those great Hayneedle gifts you bought? They ain’t gonna wrap themselves. Today’s giveaway might help take the strain off the dining room table during Martha-esque wrapping sessions with the kids.

Today’s giveaway item…

  • Is sized perfectly for kid- or elf-sized projects
  • Will make everybody wish they sat at the kids table
  • Proudly boasts the “Hayneedle Exclusive” banner
  • Is a true playtime classic for any activity

*Hint*
Our nose doesn’t glow red, but we know the way. If Santa chose us, we’d start here.

Remember, this is what you’re looking for:

You Found It

Submissions will be accepted via Facebook until 11:59 pm tonight. One entry per person. Winners will be announced tomorrow on this blog along with tomorrow’s giveaway. Good luck and happy hunting!

12 Days of Giveaways – Day 7

The sale we tipped you to at Hayneedle starts today! Promo code “BESTGIFT” will get you $11 off any order from $100 to $399, and $41 off any order over $400. Check it out!

O Holy Night! Day 7 of 12 Days of Giveaways already? It’s not quite time to start feeling like the guy in the back of the Furby line, but your chances are dwindling.

Sadie Beery has a little less shopping to do as today’s giveaway winner! Sadie found the Celestron AstroMaster 114 EQ Reflector Telescope, posted it to our Facebook page, and already mistook a Red Giant for a sleigh.

If you’ve got in-laws coming this season, you’ve already wiped that smirk off your face and purged your home of all dust and vice. Today’s giveaway might be a good way to match wits with a visiting old curmudgeon during a holiday lull.

This gift…

  • Is the game of kings, but queens can play too
  • Has a Monarch both in the middle and in the product name
  • Is a Hayneedle best seller, and for good reason

*Hint*
Don’t do all the hunting yourself – send your pawns out for you. They should probably start at Gifts for Him for Under $100.

12 Days of Giveaways – Day 6

Day 6 has arrived! We’ve reached the middle of our giveaway event – the juicy center, if you will. We’ll dig into that in a minute, but first this – don’t forget about our unannounced sale. Promo code “BESTGIFT” will get you an extra $11 off any purchase from $100 to $399, and an extra $41 off any purchase of $400 or more. It doesn’t start until tomorrow,

First, a tip of the Santa hat to Dan Drenchek  for winning yesterday’s giveaway. Dan found the Wall-Mounted Wooden Jewelry Armoire, posted it on our Facebook page, and has sworn to protect the family jewels.

It’s Saturday, are there kids home today? If so, they’re probably poking around for presents, so be sure to use today’s giveaway to keep a CLOSE watch on things.

Today’s Item…

  • Would be ideal for SantaWatch 2010
  • Will lead you to a heavenly body
  • Won’t mind if you look at it’s AstroMaster

*Hint*
Gifts for Kids is good place to start, but it’s a great gift for adults, too!

12 Days of Giveaways – Day 5

Today is Day 5 of 12 Days of Giveaways, which we’ll certainly get to, but first – a blog-exclusive sneak peek at this weekend’s unannounced Hayneedle sale!

Beginning THIS SUNDAY, get an extra $11 off any purchase from $100 to $399, and an extra $41 off any purchase of $400 or more. The promo code will be “BESTGIFT”, but it won’t work until Sunday. Shhh… don’t tell your non-bloggy friends, it’s a secret!

But today there are more pressing matters – kudos to Erin Cox for winning yesterday’s giveaway. Erin found the KidKraft Kayla Dollhouse, posted it on our Facebook page, and has already borrowed the machine from Honey I Shrunk The Kids. Moving day!

This is a big weekend for holiday parties – make sure you’ve got plenty of egg nog in the fridge and enough novelty antlers for everyone. Today’s giveaway item would also help any merry mama get ready to look majestic under the mistletoe.

This gift…

  • Would be a great place to store your jingle bell earrings
  • Provides a place for pre-holiday party reflection
  • Mounts on the wall to show the fairest of them all

*Hint*
Gifts For Her would be a brilliant place to begin.
