Week 2 in the 5 week Holiday Giveaway:
Welcome back to week two of my 5 week Holiday Giveaway. I hope you had fun last week anticipating who the winner was going to be. Once again, congratulations to Sara for winning last weeks loot. This week, I want to share a few of my favorite things. I hope you will find this giveaway package just as desirable as last weeks. Have fun looking!


I am delighted to share with you some of my favorite things in this giveaway. First, let me say one lucky winner will receive this Super Plush Luxury Sheet set. These are my all time favorite thing in the winter months. This is a full size sheet set, complete with flat, fitted and pillowcases. These are top of the line when it comes to sheets.

The photo can not even begin to demonstrate how soft, plush, warm, comfy, addictive oh, yes, addictive and you will not believe the high quality. Listen, these are the best....not cheap.....the best. You will think you have fallen on top of a cloud. Seriously. There will be no excuses for not getting a good nights rest with these sheets on your bed.

If you think the sheet set is a great thing, sit back and take a look at these great items.

  • This little pillow is just as wonderful as the sheet set. It is brown and plush, soft and comfy. I know you will love it.

  • Now, I have a great set of note cards. These are Restoration note cares, very classy, perfect for use thoughout the year.

  • How about some tea? You will also receive a tin of Peppermint Cane Tea and Holiday Spice Tea. Perfect for enjoying throughout the holidays.

  • For your holiday decor is a cute little Snowman Dip bowl and spreader set. I just love this little snowman, perfect for the holidays.

    • Now I just love these items and can not wait to share them with a lucky person.

    • First you will receive a 5X7 frame, this has mother of pearl inlay in the frame itself,very nice and high quality.

    • I just love this little dish. The flowers are so delicate, perfect for a soap dish or a candy dish or maybe even a jewelry tray on a dresser.

    • You will also receive this cute cross. It is actually a Christmas ornament, but you could use it as a wall decoration. I have a collection of wall crosses, and wanted to include a cute one in this giveaway.

    • You will love this lotion from Bath & Body Works, this is Aromatherapy Sleep soothing body lotion. It is one of my favorites.

    • Lastly, in this photo is a cute magnetic note pad for your refrigerator. A favorite of mine for jotting down notes to myself....I love the colors.

      • Ok, we are not done yet, here is what else is included in this favorite things giveaway

      • Next, do you remember the little Santa letter ornaments from the first giveaway? Well, here are two of them in this giveaway too. I just love them, and I want you to have them.

      • This is a great little book titled "Taste-Berry Tales...stories to lift the spirit, fill the heart and feed the soul" by Bettie B. Youngs, PHD. Perfect for curling up in bed and reading.

      • Next is a cute little find, I love them. These are a set of candle holders for a cake. There are only four in the package, but I would use only three at a time for ...past, present and future wishes. I hope you find them as charming as I do.
        • Well, I hope you get as excited as I have by putting this giveaway together showcasing some of my favorite things.

          What are some of your favorite things you don't want to live without? Include your favorites in your comment and share with all of us. It will be fun.

            35. Wow! This has to be one of the best giveaways ever. It is a coincidence that you are including the best ever sheets-I have been researching what the best sheets are to buy. I have been mulling over thread count and fabric content. Something I can't live without(other than my husband and 2 boys) is crafting. I sew, knit and paint and it is my sanity!
              Have a happy Thanksgiving. Nancy

            36. What a wonderfully generous giveaway of super pampering! I love your generous spirit and the positive way you are portraying the gift giving season. I also love that cross and think it is a super special little reminder of what Christmas is all about! As for something I can't live without, my faith, maybe it's just my sentimental mood, but that and family are first and foremost in my mind tonight. Ass for something materialistic probably candles.

              Happy Thanksgiving and thanks again for being such a great hostess.

            37. Wow, another wonderful giveaway. Those sheets look sooooo cozy! The teas sound scrumptious. I love writing so the stationary set would be greatly appreciated.

              I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

            49. When we were dating, my DH and I used to talk about what we wanted our life to be when we got married. We agreed that our home would have, lots and lots of books, good music (we are 60's kids, so it is ROCK and ROLL), and good food. Good food does not mean expensive food, but home cooked, not out of a cardboard box food. After 42 years, anyone coming into our home would still find all three. The variety changed but not the the catagories. I hope all three will be there until we no longer need them.

            72. What are some of your favorite things you don't want to live without?

              Well first off I couldn't live without my children (they are my pride and joy, hence the blog alias Loving Heart Mommy), secondly would be a really good cup of french vanilla coffee and dark chocolate! My DH says I'm a bit messed up since I didn't list him but he's LOL replaceable, my children are not.

              We do have your button up on our sidebar! I've spread the word to my Mom and other sisters as well.

            74. What a wonderful giveaway! Those items are great. I think I should just take the sheets :)

              What are my favorite things? My blankie... because she keeps me warm. My children because they warm my heart. My friends because they keep my brain warm. My love because he wraps me in his warm embrace.

            Sometimes someone says something really small, and it's like it fits into this empty space in your heart!

            Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts here, they really mean a lot to me!
