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!

Tami Madsen : I've never had stitches...but my kids have! I think the worst was my 1 1/2 year old...he loved to climb. He opened up every drawer he could reach on a five drawer shelf. Climb up the open ones to get to the next one. long story short...the dresser fell over on top of him. When I came in the room I could see him, he was completely cover with the dresser. (scary!!) He ended up in the ER with quite a few stiches!!

Denise Hone: I was playing on a big rock in front of my house when I was little, my mom told me to get off. But when she went to the store I decided I could play on it again. Fell and cut my head open. My dad was a paramedic, so when my mom got home I was laying on the kitchen counter getting stitched up by my dad.

I got stitches when I was 7, I was climbing our front tree with the help of a tricycle turned over on it's side... I slipped and fell out of the tree and landed on the tricycle. Huge gash in the side of my calf, and got 18 stitches inside and out- it was to the bone!! And to make it worse, my parents were at the UT state fair for the day, and it was before we had cell phones. My 16 year old sister took care of me and rushed me to the doctor.

Paige Evans - I would pick the "Patagonia Serenity Organic Cotton Capris" they look like they would be great to work out in (for myself)! Which is something that I most definitely need to start doing a LOT more!

Paige said...

Paige Evans - the only time that I have received stitches was in 2005. I was on my way back to my college dorm, wrecked in a curve. Someone else hit my car right behind my drivers side door, spilting my car in half. I was thrown out with the back half of the car (last time I've been in a vehicle without wearing my seat belt) and then was life flighted. I was very blessed to only need stitches that day!

Amy said...

Amy Horsburgh- Too many times... ankle surgery from getting it caught in the spokes of my bike, lip from face planting over handle bars of my bike, finger from opening a can of tennis balls, 3 babies (I won't go into details there), forehead from my dad hitting me by accident when the whipping cream bottle he was shaking flew out of his hand...

YES I have gotten stitches, but only once and not until I was about 40! My finger got slammed inside the tail gate of a big pick up truck and I needed 4 stitches to close up the huge flap of skin that got torn up.

Not pretty!!

Does liquid bandage count? My son had his head glued together at the doctors office when he was 18 months old. Had they not opted for the glue, he would have had a few stitches. Since then my husband has NEEDED stitches on a few occasions, but alas, we are cheapskates, and we are very much a DIY family when it comes to medical care...

First time in the head when I was three and my two year old sister made me a unicorn by putting a butter knife in my head (we were playing Unicorn Hunter, thank you The Last Unicorn). Second time in the knee where I split open a whole playing dodge ball in 2nd grade. And third in my finger where I cut off the tip while slicing cheese at Quiznos.

Sandra Taylor said...

Sandra Taylor - my son split his head open at my mother's house and we had to go to the hospital for stitches. Since it was on his head, I wanted a plastic surgeon to do the stitching. We waited forever and when the plastic surgeon (probably on intern) finally got there, he did such a bad job that my son has a huge scar. We would have been better off to let just anyone stitch him up.

Nice surprise huh?

Kelly Hennen, I got stitches the night before my wedding reception! We were planning a familiy bbq/house warming party at our new home. I was going to make my apple upside down cake. When I went to peel my first apple (with a potatoe peeler) the apple slipped and I cut my first left finger. Six hours later, after playing injured hostess, my dad drove me to the ER where I got three stitches. That's a good way to ruin a manicure!
