I’ve loved Envirosax’s high-end reusable bags ever since I discovered them a year ago. They are so much stronger and more stylish than the garish, cloth-woven bags you find for $.99  in the grocery store. They retail for about $10, and you are definitely getting your moneys worth. I use them for my groceries, packing my lunch, trips to the beach, camping, and sometimes as a big purse!

Today we are launching a giveaway for more than $120 in Envirosax products, including NINE reusable bags. Don’t forget to check out our on-going giveaways for a $99 HP HD webcam, a $99 doll, train, and toys from Cracker Barrel, a $100 Lands’ End gift card, $100 storage cubes from Way Basics, $100 holiday cards from DaySpring, $199 Rockboard scooter, a $100 Bertolli pot and accessories, a $100 Carter’s gift card, and $100 in cash from Ebates!

Win a $100 Carter's gift card!

One of my favorite baby shower gifts is a Carter’s dress that we received from my from sister-in-law. It has black and white stripes with a big red sparkly heart above the words “j’adore.” Another favorite is an orange and white Carter’s zip-up that makes me think of creamsicles. I can’t wait to dress my little girl in them!

Bertolli pot giveaway 300x300 $100 giveaway for a Bertolli pot and more!

Win this $90 Bertolli pot!

There’s nothing like a solid, heavy-bottomed pot. I use mine regularly for stews, browning meat, and sauces. The 3-quart Bertolli pot we are giving away today, which sells for $89.95, is a great one to have in your kitchen because it’s big enough to make most dishes, but not so heavy you’re going to hurt your back lifting it! The prize package also comes with meal coupons and accessories!

This would be a great gift for the person who loves to cook! I plan on giving mine to my little brother (shhh) because he is just learning to cook and having high-quality kitchenware makes it so much easier.

Today we are launching a giveaway for more than $100 in Bertolli products, listed below.

Win this $199 Rockboard Scooter!

The Rockboard scooter is like a regular scooter on steroids. And it is exactly what I would want if I was 8-13 (give or take). Instead of pushing with your foot, you rock back and forth to propel the scooter forward. The faster you rock, the faster you go. Way cool.

The scooter folds up to fit in the back of your car and can hold up to 200 pounds (so the grown ups can ride it too!) Rockboard scooters are sold at Target, Toysrus.com, and on Amazon Win a HOT $199 Rockboard scooter!.

peanuts greeting card dayspring giveaway 224x300 Win $100 holiday cards from DaySpring

Win $100 of holiday cards from DaySpring!

I’ve sent holiday ecards, traditional paper cards, and skipped the whole process some years. But there’s nothing like hearing from friends and family. Sometimes hearing from folks I’m no longer in touch with (except for their holiday letter) are the ones I enjoy the most.

My husband thinks it’s ridiculous that people only get in touch because it’s Christmas. But he’s just being grumpy. Wouldn’t you rather hear from friends and family than not at all? I can promise you my holiday card this year is going to be devoted to my little bun (who is still in the oven).

Spend not a penny on high-quality holiday cards from DaySpring by entering to win this giveaway!

storage cubes way basics giveaway 223x300 Win $100 storage cubes from Way Basics

Win these $100 storage cubes!

“I can’t believe we’re putting together furniture with tape,” my husband said.

I kept my mouth shut.

We were assembling five Way Basics storage cubes in the baby’s room that seemed, quite frankly, flimsy. Each cube is made out of four thick pieces of laminated, recycled paperboard and a thin back piece, so they are extremely light. Even the pegs that hold the pieces in place are made from recycled paper!

When we pulled off the protective strips to expose double-sided tape and stuck the pieces together, however, my skepticism turned to a smile. No more flimsy!

These cubes are perfect for our nursery and we quickly filled them with diapers, receiving blankets, and more diapers. Now I wouldn’t load these shelves with anything heavy like books or a glass vase. But they are ideal for lighter items. Super easy to assemble because they require no tools or hardware. And you can move them around much easier than, say, a heavy wooden bookshelf. I stacked mine, above, but you can also use them in a row.

Below is a video showing how they are assembled.

Today we are launching a giveaway for five Way Basics storage cubes, worth $100.
