The first BlogHer 2011 giveaway is a whole bunch of items designed to make you feel good about yourself, both figuratively and literally.
Included are:
- A pair of Dr. Scholl’s High-Heel Insoles (size 6-10)
- A pair of Dr. Scholl’s “Fast Flats,” to put on after a few hours of dancing (size 9-10)
- A callus file, courtesy of Anna Lefler and her CHICKtionary
- Nuance Eye Quad, an egg-shaped doohickey with four different colors of eye shadow inside
- “The Falsies” mascara by Maybelline (I didn’t name it — I just report it)
- Arm & Hammer Whitening Booster, which you add to your toothpaste every time you brush
- Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk, an “anti-breakage serum” for your hair
- Essence of Beauty body and hand cream, “Japanese Garden” scent (it’s 1.75 ounces, so you can take it with you on a plane)
- Essence of Beauty Citrus Coconut Shower Gel
- Two little products by Philosophy: “Purity” facial cleanser (1 ounce) and “Miracle Worker” anti-aging moisturizer (0.4 ounce)
And if there’s any room left in the flat-rate box, I’ll squeeze in a reusable shopping bag.
Yes, they really did give all these items away at BlogHer 2011, to anyone who wanted them. You couldn’t walk past a table without someone proffering beauty items, toys, DVDs, water bottles, T-shirts, ice cream bars or even vibrators.
I am not making up that last one. In fact, I received not one but two such toys. They won’t be given away here, though: They’re being donated to a friend’s bachelorette party.

I subscribed via email as well though I do visit your website several times a week to check for new posts. I am a fellow frugal blogger but not nearly as popular or famous as you are….so I don’t get to go to fancy events and acquire free things to give away. π
Thank you for doing this giveaway!
@TheFrugalVegan: I went to BlogHer in a very frugal way. My ticket was free because I won a contest. My daughter’s boss paid to send her to BlogHer so I shared her room. And I bought the cheapest airline ticket I could through a cash-back shopping site. Oh, and I took a bus and then light rail both to and from the airport.
Just sayin’.
What a great bunch of fun things to give away! I’m amazed at the number of items that they have available.
