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!

  1. Nilanthi King: I'd either get the flannel pj's or one of the bodyshaping items.

  2. Nilanthi King: I got stitches when I was 9 years old because of an accident during a pool party-- my brother went down the slide but didn't see that I was right below it. His skull hit my chin, and as a result, I had to wear a lovely pad of gauze over my stitches during the first week of school, in a new school. Not exactly the best first impression one hopes to make...

    ReplyDelete
  9. Laura Waltz: I have recived stitches more than once. The first time was when I was 2, I pushed on the back of a chair (I was being naughty and standing on it), and hit my head on part of a brick wall that was behind me. I had to get stitches in my forehead for that one. I still have a quite large scar across my eyebrow.

  18. Katie Harrison: I need some spanx something horrible! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Katie Harrison: I've been lucky enough never to have stitches - at least that I can remember. But I should have. In college, I slipped & fell on the metal that reinforced the concrete stairs in our OLD complex. I cleaned the gash & put a bandage on it & went to sleep - didn't think anything else of it. UNTIL I couldn't sleep all night because of the pain! The next morning, my roommate took me to the health center & because I had waited too long, I couldn't get stitches (apparently waiting too long increases the risk of infection), but I did get a nasty tetanus shot in my foot. Ouch!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Denise Paul. I was washing a glass once. I had my hand in the glass and was turning it so as to get the entire inside of the glass clean. The glass broke and sliced a chunk of flesh out of the side of my pinky. Ouch! I had five stitches in it, which I took out on my own before the doctor's appointment and the doctor yelled at me. Plus I have a hump on that finger now and it's all tingly like it's asleep - all the time. I cut a nerve.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Jacqueline Ferrer: I got stitches when I had to have surgery. But the cool thing about those stitches was that they dissolved!

  29. Lani Wilkinson
    only time I've had stitches was when I was playing indoor soccer with some friends and I went to head the ball at the same time as someone else, except I didn't get the ball! I ended up with about a dozen stitches over my eye and there's still a scar 5 years later!

  31. Michele Ondra: I have never had stitches but I did have to get my foot "irrigated" with iodine and then a tetanus shot. I used to work at a barn and I was taking down some slats so that the mini horses could see out of the stall. I stepped on a HUGE nail sticking out of the wood. not so fun. I didn't cry until I got to the hospital and the drs had to clean the site. ughhhhhhh.

  34. Jessica Hansen: I have only had stitches due to having kids and wisdom teeth removed, but my son had 6 in his forehead from slamming it into a step.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Catherine Tanner: The only stitches I've gotten have been the boring necessary ones that come with having my appendix taken out and having babies.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Laura Heron - I got stitches when I was a teenager and visiting Hawaii with my parents. We were swimming in the ocean, got too close to a coral reef, and I kicked really hard and cut my foot badly on the coral. I had to have two Hawaiian men carry me across the sand to the waiting golf cart to the hospital. Not too fun on a swimming, sandy, vacation!

    I just had my first trip to the ER a couple of weeks ago...and you're right...the tetanus shot was the worst part! I convinced the doctor to glue my finger instead of stitches :) I tried to take the end of my finger off with an exacto knife!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Catey Ball - I have had stitches once; I was 5 yrs old and bouncing on a sledding innertube against the side of an end table. It was great fun until the inner tube slid down to the floor and it was then my chin that hit the side of the table. Still have a lovely scar in my chin.

    My little girl (3 1/2 at the time) fell off her scooter earlier this year and she had to get three stitches in her lip. Then while we were waiting to be discharged from the ER, she licked those stitches right out of her lip!!! So then the doctor had to glue her wound closed. She has a small scar now...hopefully it won't prevent her from becoming the world's greatest oboe player!!!! ;)

    When I was around 4 or 5 I would always jump up onto the counter while I washed my hands so that I could watch myself in the mirror. One day I was jumping up and had one knee on the counter and it slipped off and I banged my chin on the counter top, causing me to bite my toungue. Blood was everywhere and my mom rushed me to the ER where I got stitches (I can't remember how many) through half my tongue because I had bitten clear through it in one spot.

    I have never had stitches but probably technically could have when I was about 7...I was trying to be flexible and sit cross legged but with each foot over my leg and I tipped backwards and hit my head on the fireplace that had a sharp edge. My mom just cut my hair all around it and put butterfly bandage on it and I was fine.

  142. OK, really embarrassing, especially since most of the other people's stories happened when they were really young and didn't know any better. I was in gym in high school and went for a loose ball, battling with another kid for it. My head hit the jagged metal room divider - and even surface head wounds bleed a LOT. 6 stitches! Of all the times to actually try in gym...
