Because I love blogging so much and I appreciate all of my readers so much, I wanted to do a giveaway featuring some of my favorite things that I’ve talked about this year. Most of the items are for the home and one of the items is for a kid in your life.
1. 2 Kate Spade Holly Heights mugs via One Kings Lane (the mugs only). One in green and one in red. Aren’t these so adorable? Don’t you just want to sip hot chocolate next to your Christmas tree out of these?
2. An Archipelago Lindenwood reed diffuser. I have these in almost every room in my house and I’m in love with the fresh, natural scent.
3. A Low Country Luxe candle in my personal favorite scent, High Cotton. These are all over my house, too, and I just love them. They burn perfectly and evenly and the aroma subtly consumes your home in just a few minutes. I love it.
4. Last but certainly not least, our favorite Sophie the Giraffe. Or Sophie la Girafe. She’s French, you know? Sophie has been a lifesaver for Hudson this year and she comes in an adorable box. We saved Hudson’s Sophie box because she really is like a collector’s item. She’s a great gift to give to a child in your life if you don’t have one of your own.
To enter my Favorite Things Giveaway…
1. Just leave a comment telling me what would be on your favorite things list.
2. For an extra entry, tweet about this post and link to the giveaway. Make sure you let me know that you mentioned it on Twitter and l’ll give you one extra entry!
3. The winner will be announced on December 22– just in time for me to get out of town for Christmas with my family!
Thank you for being so supportive of me this year and always being such an encouraging group of women. I’m happy to share our lives with you!

WOW….what an awesome giveaway Erin!!! One of my fav things (on my Xmas wish list) is the Clarasonic Skin brush kit. Heard fab things about how it can transform your skin so hope Santa remembers to leave under the tree. And a gorgeous buffet/hutch from Pottery Barn..but oh they are so pricey when you are building a new home and trying to save some $$$$. A girl can put it on the wish list.
I’m a candlefreak so would love to have one of Low Country Luxe candles…can never have too many. And last but not least, my husband’s son just had twins…a girl and a boy. Want to get them Sophie even though they are only 3 weeks and less than 6 lbs each!!
