Until December 14th we are Giving Away Products from FOUR Companies...(CLOSED)


A $30.00 Gift Certificate from Freshpair.com

So here's the big question...are you still on the look-out for some great Christmas gifts for your man?

Another question...do you need some new pajamas?

And another...do you ever eat a little too much over the holidays and think some Spanx might be nice to wear come January 1st?

If your answer to any of these is "Yes!", allow me to introduce you to Freshpair.com.


Freshpair.com, the leading on-line retailer of men's underwear and women's intimate apparel, carries all of the leading intimate apparel brands, including Calvin Klein Underwear, Spanx, Wacoal, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Elle Macpherson Intimates.

Customers enjoy the easy and secure on-line shopping experience at Freshpair.com. The knowledgeable Freshpair Customer Care team is ready to answer any questions about products or on-line shopping, and shoppers can also read product reviews from actual customers. Freshpair.com offers free domestic shipping everyday (and excellent international shipping rates).

I just ordered my husband the Diesel Hard-Boxe Hoodie (seen in the first image) from Freshpair. It is one of the only surprise gifts I am giving him this year and I can't wait to give it to him. So if by chance you know him, please don't spill the beans.

If you currently live in the U.S.A., you may enter to win the gift certificate from Freshpair.com up to THREE times.

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry, please visit Freshpair.com here. Look at their fabulous products and then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you would use your gift certificate on if you are our winner.
Example: Jane Doe: My neighbor Katrina, who I used to go running with (until I got lazy), has a jacket similar to this one. It looked so warm (and not to mention fashionable) when we would go running in the cold weather. So if I were to win, I would pick the Patagonia Capilene 3 Zip-Neck Long Sleeve (it's only $25.00)

For a third entry, yesterday I was in my laundry room and bumped into the broom and it fell off it's hook and, like a dagger, went straight into my toe (it is a metal broom that is missing it's protective knob on the end). After crying, yes I cried, I called my neighbor and she rushed me to the doctor's (alright, we didn't rush, but we were moving at a fast-pace) where I received stitches. Two stitches people!! And a Tetanus shot. And I have to say, the Tetanus shot has been the most painful thing about the whole ordeal thus far. So in a NEW entry, I would like for you to tell me your first and last name and if you (or someone in your family) has ever received stitches.
Example: Jane Doe: Besides yesterday, I also received stitches twice when I was younger and then once in college I took a ski class at Grand Targhee and some friends and I decided to hike to a peak called Mary's Nipple (which at the time was restricted). On the way down the mountain my ski caught an edge and I tumbled head over heels causing me to get 16 stitches and a rather fierce tongue lashing about going into "Restricted Areas".

The winner of the gift certificate from Freshpair.com will be announced Monday, December 14th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. Thanks!

Melissa Staker said...

I got stitches when tubing at a reservoir. The tube flipped and my boyfriend's elbow smacked me in the eye. I popped out of the water laughing and said that I bet he just gave me a black eye. Then I saw the look on his face and noticed the water was red around me. I got three layers of stitches because the cut was so deep. The weirdest part? Feeling the needle scrape against the top of my cheekbone while the doctor stitched up the muscle.

Lisa said...

Lisa Boshell: Still stitch-free at age 23.

Melina Moore-I have a scar above my eyebrow from when I got stitches at 1 when I decided to stand up, then fall in the bathtub. I'm glad I don't remember them!

Courtney said...

Courtney Dairman: I got 3 stitches in my pointer finger once. I was cutting toffee and not paying attention to what I was doing and sliced right through my finger.

evitafjord said...

Dawn Young: I probably should get some Spanx, but man oh man I love new socks. Loooooooooooove them.

evitafjord said...

Dawn Young: My only stitches (nonsurgical) were in my knee. My mom told me and told me not to play with the beach ball in the house, but I didn't listen and knocked down the light fixture in my bedroom, right into my knee. I think 6 or 7.

AngelaBeth said...

Angela Cantido: I'm dying for that Diesel Chill Out Dude Lounge Hoodie. It looks really comfy.. like a sweatshirt I would steal from my boyfriend.. except I don't have one. So I obviously just need the sweatshirt!

AngelaBeth said...

Angela Cantido: I have a very defined scar on my lip from the left side of my nose to the tip of my lip where I was bit by a barking Chinese Crested/Chihuahua. I had about thirty plastic surgery stitches in the ER that night and still have a scar. I'm cringing just thinking about when the nurse ripped them out.

Unknown said...

angie castle: oooh, the cozy Nautica flannel nightshirt

Erin said...

Erin Crandall

Unknown said...

angie castle: when i was 6 or 7 I was a master of the bars on the playground. i wanted to show off my mad skills at home on our swingset and sliced the top of my head open on an uncovered bolt on the see saw. The doctor had to shave the top front of my head to give me the stitched...my mom had to get creative with hair styles while that grew out.

Becky said...

becky fitch: my mom got stitches when she was young because she was copying her older brother & jumping off the back of a parked car (yeah it doesn't make sense to me either - I guess you had to be there)

Becky said...

becky fitch: I love the exercise outfits (as soon as it gets in the double digits I've told myself it's time to use that jogging stroller - until then I'm just protecting my son)

Jennye Harding said...

Jennye Harding: Everyone in our family has had stitches at least once...my oldest fell out of a rolling office chair into a file cabinet...7 stitches, my son fell and hit the bar on the trampoline...5 stitches, and so on, and so on...

Jessica :) said...

Jessica Harwood: I've only ever received stitches after my knee surgery (when I was 18 ... sheesh, knee surgery at 18!) and after my wisdom teeth removal. But to me, those hardly count. For a stories' sake: My brother had stitches in his thumb - right after he almost chopped it off playing with a super sharp knife! He was probably 12 or 13 at the time. Crazy kid.

Maygen Richards

Stacey said...

Stacey Fiessinger: we had our first experience with stitches this past May when my 4 1/2 old son fell and hit his head on the corner of the entertainment center. It bled like crazy (people say that is what the face does), but he only needed 4 stitches. Thank goodness for the numbing cream so that we avoided a shot because holding him down for the stitches about did me in!

SSBoz said...

Stella Bosworth: I need a sports bra - so I would probably go witht the Patagonia 32280 because it looks comfortable.

Traci Romph: I got sticthes more times than I can count. But one in particular stands out. My sisters thought it would be funny to put a blanket in front of the corner of the pool table and tell me to run through it. Well, I did. I guess I didn't see the big pool table behind the blanket. Well, needless to say, I split my head wide open.

Lydia said...

Lydia Penrod: Stitches once. On my left index finger. I was 15 and using a new pocket knife. As I'm turning the knife in the wrong direction, I'm thinking to myself, "Hmm, Dad said never point the knife this way." And then *slash*, five stitches on my left knuckle.

Beth Jensen: I got stitches in my head when I was about 6 years old. To this day I still don't remember just what happened. All I remember is watching my friend's older brothers playing baseball with their friends in their backyard and then looking down at my hands and seeing blood dripping in them. I also got stitches after giving birth to my first child - that was worse than the actual birth!
