Gifts anyone would love... WITH GIVEAWAY!

The holidays are quickly approaching and if you are anything like me you are already stressing about it. I've come up with three gift ideas that just about anyone would LOVE to receive this year.


First things first, the kids, any kid loves a good craft. A bored kid is a kid that will find trouble so our first holiday "product" isn't really a product at all, its more of an idea. Put together a craft box/bag for your child include markers, glue, glitter, paint, paper, ribbons, scissors, pretty much anything you can find on crayolastore.com and let them go to town. Then all you parents can go enjoy all your wonderful holiday treasures.


This year, it is all about personalization. Sticks and Stones Alphabet Photography gives you the opportunity to create a customized keepsake like the one above for anyone on your gift list. I personally love the idea of putting the last name of your recipient on a piece and giving it as a gift to the whole family. Right now they are offering a buy 1 get 1 50% off deal on these one of a kind treasures. PLUS, just for you wonderful readers, if you enter discount/consultant code CEBGGE at checkout you will get an additional 10% discount off your order. (Sidenote: want to become a consultant with Sticks and Stones? email me or leave a comment to find out how.)


A candle? Now, that's not original, right? Wrong? Even my husband loves these candles. They burn a real wood wick that crackles when lit. It really sounds like you are sitting next to a warm, cozy fire and *bonus* they smell great too, just two 10 oz jars are all I need to feel the entire house with the smell of fresh out of the oven frosted cookies (my personal favorite from Woodwick). A unique and useful gift. One of you lucky readers will win a 10 oz Woodwick candle from The Virginia Candle Company, to find out how, see below!

Freebie Alert - Sonic

Sorry, this is a little late, but Sonic is giving away free Root Beer Floats tonight from 8 p.m. until midnight. So, if you are out and about and craving something cool and yummy head on over to your local drive-in.

I won't be getting one, instead I will be giving my stinky little boy a good bath so make sure to take a sip for me.

Freebie Alert - Kentucky Fried Chicken

I will not deny that I am a fan of fast food and one of my favorites, KFC, is giving away free chicken today. You can get one piece of the new Kentucky GRILLED Chicken by simply visiting your local KFC and asking for it, no coupon or purchase necessary. The new recipe looks appetizing enough and is much healthier for you than KFC's original heavily breaded chicken, you can view the nutrtional info on the website. Interestingly enough, this is the third time KFC has attempted to add girlled chicken to its menu. Let me know what you think about your free piece of chicken.
