A Bloggy Giveaway - Basket Works

It's been awhile since I've done anything like this on this here blog. And it's just plain time to have a little fun around here with another giveaway!




Personally, I struggle with shopping.

Not for me. Ha! I like that kind of shopping. And not for the house. I also enjoy that. But I have a rough time shopping for good gifts for others.

In-laws. Josh's boss. Our neighbor that showed us how to install new headlights. The middle school girls that come over and let out the dog when we're gone.

I often want to find something unique. Gift cards are great, but it's nice to find something extra special and unusual sometimes. Plus, I appreciate good packaging.

Enter Basket Works. In their own words, they offer distinctive gift baskets for all occasions. Basket Works is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and ships all over the country.

Baby gifts.


House Warming.


How about a Michigan gift basket, full of goodies local to the state of MI?


Birthday gifts.


How about for someone in the hospital?


You name it.

AND, they're partnering with this here blog to give away a special gift of your choice worth up to $75. SEVENTY FIVE BUCKS! And let me tell you, you can find a really nice Basket Works gift for $75! They'll ship the gift anywhere (in the US) you want it to go, or else deliver personally in the Grand Rapids, MI area.

What you do with it is your choice! Maybe you were trying to come up with a nice baby gift to send to an out of state friend. Or maybe you just want to get a basket o' goodies sent right to your very own home. You choose. I won't judge.

Here's how to win:

Click over to Basket Works and poke around. Leave a comment telling me what basket you like the best and who you'd give it to.

You can win up to THREE EXTRA ENTRIES by doing any or all of the following:

1. Become a Basket Works fan on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/BasketWorks. (If you're already a fan, just let me know in a comment.)
2. Post a link to this giveaway on Twitter.
3. Post a link to this giveaway on your Facebook page.

You MUST leave an additional comment for EACH of these things that you do so that when I randomly select a winner I won't leave any one out. If you only leave one comment letting me know all of the things you did, you'll just get one entry.

This giveaway will be open until Friday night, April 2nd at 5:00pm. I'll find some kind of internet randomizer and do it up right.




And in the interest of full disclosure, you should know that Basket Works is owned by my mom and her business partner. They've been in business since I was a very little girl and I can personally attest to the quality and aesthetics of each gift they sell. And holy cow the gourmet treats are delicious. I should know - I've gotten lots of samples over the years.

And if I had a nickel for every time I got dragged along on a local basket delivery over the years...

Well let's just say I could buy all kinds of beautiful overpriced boutiquey baby stuff I have my eye on.
