Giveaway: Mother's Day Goodies

GIVEAWAY CLOSED

***congrats to winner christena gunther***

i know you've probably reached your limit of mother's day reminders from all that email spam you've been getting these past couple weeks.  but before you jump off the ledge, sit back, grab your coffee and stay for just a minute to check out this ridiculous mother's day giveaway we've put together for you.  this is the real deal.  i'm not kidding. amanda and i have been whoring ourselves out all over town to get you these hand-picked goods.  ok, i am kidding about that part.  but seriously, check out the swag we are giving away! and happy mama's day to you!

what you will win: 
we are actually jealous of whomever wins all this (total value of $600):

1. from anna bee:  personalized necklace
anna bee creates a line of delicate, personalized pendant necklaces that any stylish mom would wear.  they're simple, so they go with everything, but also unique with tiny lettering and a hand-made feel. her necklaces are the kind that you end up wearing all the time and never take off, even to shower or sleep, because they're so light and also so personal.  a real keepsake.  you get your choice of silver, gold or mixed metals.

2. from coral + tusk:  adorn crescent necklace
the uber talented brooklyn-based designer has had us smitten ever since we first discovered her brand years ago.  best known for her sweet and impeccably embroidered pillows and kitchen linens, we want to share with you all her new line of gorgeous crescent necklaces - the perfect statement piece to brighten even a simple jeans and white v-neck t-shirt combo. you get your choice of any four adorn crescent necklaces.

3. from baggu:  a duck bag, standard baggu, a large zipper set, and a daypack
one of our favorite brooklyn brands, baggu, has offered oodles of the most important tool in any busy mom's artillery:  bags. you might recognize the baggu original -- made of lightweight ripstop nylon, it's so easy to stuff in your purse and pull out at a moment's notice because, c'mon, who doesn't do impromptu shopping?  

4. from shak-shuka: women's bobo choses red-stripe leather belt
if you've been a long time reader, you know how in love with shak-shuka we are. but the love affair doesn't stop there; we are also in love with bobo choses.  it's just a huge lovefest up in here - someone hose us down! shak-shuka has offered this fabulous, versatile belt from bobo choses (for mama).  it's the perfect addition to your chambray shirt dress, linen tank dress, or just about any dress, really, there are no limits with this belt!

5. from seventy tree: scallop round serving tray
seventy tree is the brainchild of london-based designer kerry layton.  kerry creates beautiful prints, kitchen items, paper goods, and even our favorite crafting toy, washi tape!, in bold geometric prints and designs.  we just can't get enough of her products, and if we had more space, we'd fill every corner of our homes with all things seventy tree!

6. from areaware: white distortion candlesticks
you get a pair of incredibly unique white candlesticks from another one of our favorite nyc-based shops.  made of resin and marble and designed by paul loebach, these candlesticks will definitely be a conversation starter at your next dinner party.  is it just me, or do they remind you of that "be our guest" scene in beauty and the beast?

7. from reid.damnit: ikat apron
kelly reid makes a wonderful selection of personal accessories including clutches, purses, aprons and belts.  we asked them to offer up this cotton ikat apron because it totally caught our eye. we love ikat everything and can't think of a better way to show it off this summer than alongside a (virgin) margarita while grilling some steaks.

8. from wanderluster: tulipa II earring
how gorgeous are these earrings?  inspired by the designer's time in istanbul, these come straight from her brand new SS13 line.  you get your choice of 18K gold plated brass or rose gold.
