Ninth Month Blog Giveaway: $25 Anthropologie e-Gift Card: NOW CLOSED

* This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered.

Nine months? Wow. I cannot believe it has been nine months. This is where I would make some groan-able face slapping comment about a baby. But let’s pretend that has all ready happened and move along.

Thank you to all of you who stop by in kindness to read my blog. I very much appreciate it. You guys are in my thoughts every day. Thank you.

This month, I wanted to make it easy. And what is easier than my favorite store? Anthropologie.

And I purchased these items for under $25 each in the last two months.

You can get some cute things at Anthropologie for $25 or less. Or you could use the gift card towards a bigger purchase. : )

To enter to win the $25 Anthropologie e-gift card simply leave a comment telling me what you are most looking forward to this month.

I’ll share: I am most looking forward to making cookies with my kids and watching them deliver the goodies to seniors in my area. I am looking forward to seeing my friends at various events. I am looking forward to watching my husband open his presents. I think I did good this year. I am looking forward to cozying up in front of the Christmas tree with a good bottle glass of wine. I am looking forward to my kid’s reactions Christmas morning. And seeing my nephew’s reaction to one of the presents we bought him.

Wait. That was more than one thing, wasn’t it?! ; ). Sorry I just love December!

  18. I love that you host these yourself. It’s a sincere reflection of your kind and generous nature. I am most looking forward to visiting our family and friends in Michigan and all of the holiday traditions that await us there. One of my cousins is hosting our family Christmas party at her farmhouse this year. She’s going to have a giant bonfire with s’mores, and we’re all going to go sledding. Can’t! Wait!

  43. I’m looking forward to getting out of London for a bit, and showing my mother the many joys and wonders of San Francisco! I love that place, and I know she’s already planning what she wants to do and making notes in the guide book she’s bought. It was Victor’s idea that we should all go there together, isn’t he sweet?

    Also, I follow you on bloglovin’ – but you know that. 🙂

  49. Awe Jenni ~~ you are such a kind and generous soul. Thank you for making me stop and think about what I am looking forward to rather than dwelling on the last two miserable days.

    Thanks again!!

  70. I’m looking forward to all the decorations and the lights on houses; my birthday is Christmas Day and to me, this was all part of the big build up to a VERY joyous day. These days, my son and I get in the car and drive around and talk as we look at everyone’s lights, and it makes for a very happy time for me.

  83. What a wonderful giveaway, Jenni! Congratulations on hitting the nine-month mark! It has been so fun watching your blog grow and evolve throughout this time; it’s really one of my favorites!

    I also look forward to family time with fun activities like making cookies. This is also the first year that both Chris and I will be off work for a few days over Christmas, so I’m really excited about that prospect. He used to work retail and had to be there on both Christmas Eve and at the crack of dawn the day after Christmas Day, so having a few relaxing days together is going to be a new, exciting experience for us! 🙂

  84. Only nine months? I feel like you’ve been a regular reading pleasure for years! I am looking forward to some cozy holiday festivities with the family, particularly luring my boyfriend out in a pair of skates I found him at a thrift shop. No more excuses!

    • I found these weird candy lip things from the people who made the “Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys” movie. When you suck on them they make you look like you have an abominable snowman yeti mouth like Bumble. I got one for everyone in my family so I’m looking forward to taking a picture. Neeheehee!

  88. Hi there. I am looking forward to seeing my big sister who I only see once a year, during the holidays. She moved away about 10 yrs ago when she got a job at a university teaching Feminist Theory and the city where I live hasn’t quite felt the same since. Even though I am now 32 and she is 44, she is still my all knowing, super smart, (sometimes bitchy) awesome big sis.

  92. Thanks Jenni for sponsoring this generous giveaway. Since I live in SoCal, I was pleased that my last business trip of the year was in Munich, Germany. In my spare time, I visited a few of the Winter Markets that you can find scattered throughout the city and enjoyed so many traditional treats — Glueh Wein (spiced wine), roasted chestnuts, Stollen (fruit cake) and the list goes on. Such a festive time of year there. It even snowed — what a treat 🙂

  93. Now I’m looking forward to staying home and catching up on some much needed rest before the new year starts. My favorite tradition in December — making fondue, pairing it with wine, and sharing it with family and friends. Happy Holidays!

  94. I’m looking forward to NO SCHOOL for 2 weeks (I have 4 kids so a break for them = a break for me), Christmas Eve dinner for my extended family hosted by me, and most of all, Christmas morning with my 4 sweet kids & a new puppy…sshhhh, don’t tell! Love your blog and follow on bloglovin’. Thanks for this fun giveaway & have a very merry Christmas!

  98. Thanks for your fabulous blog!! I’m looking forward to a trip to the big apple with my 2 sons (teenager and young adult) and my husband. It’s been so long since we’ve been on a family trip together, it will be great to have bonding time with the boys.

  108. Its so hard to decide what I am looking forward to the most. Hmmm. I am looking forward to having the tree glowing in our living room every night (we just picked it up yesterday). I am looking forward to Christmas Eve dinner with my parents and sisters AND my husband’s parents and brother. Yay! I am looking forward to a FULL TWO WEEK break from school. I am teacher and we never get this much time. (Christmas miracle alert!) And I am looking forward to seeing my family open their gifts… I love this! 🙂
