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.
