Giveaway: The SaveUp 2010 swag bag.
Posted by Donna Freedman on Nov 19, 2010 | 113 commentsSome of you helped send me to the SaveUp 2010 conference by voting for me. Now it’s time to give back.
Within reason.
In other words, I’m not giving away the HP Webcam HD-3100 that was in the bag. I’ll be using it to put videos on the site if I can figure out how.
I’m keeping the yoga mat, too, because it gives me a built-in New Year’s resolution: Get my unstretched self back to the yoga class at the Northgate Community Center.
Nor am I giving away the $10 gift certificate to Beauty.com. (To readers, that is. I’ve promised the GC to my DD.)
But if the random number generator likes you this week, some of the other treats from SaveUp 2010 could be yours.
First, the bag: An oversized cream-colored canvas tote with faux leather handles and an optional shoulder strap. This would make a good beach bag or even a weekend bag – it’s nice and roomy.
Inside the bag are:
- A pair of cable-knit ballerina socks from FootSmart (the link shows them in ivory, but the pair you’ll get is navy blue)
- Three copies of All You magazine, including a holiday entertaining issue; the mags contain a total of $164.50 worth of manufacturer coupons
- A chunk of Ice Blue soap from Lush Handmade Cosmetics
- A four-strand beaded bracelet from ShopTheLook.net (can’t find a picture, but I can say that the little bells on one of the strands will drive your cat crazy)
- Two reusable shopping bags (one large, one small) with the Savings.com logo
- A selection of small delights from Beauty.com, including but not limited to: Crème De-Luxe vanilla citrus lotion, a compact with a mirror and oil-blotting tissues, a tube of E.L.F. super glossy lip shine, a cute li’l tube of Aveeno sunblock, a sample of Very Hollywood perfume, and a 24-count Listerine PocketPak (after all, mistletoe is in your future)
