It’s almost that time.
Yep, everybody’s favorite purposeful holiday is on its way. I just can’t wait for all the flowers, candy, and red hearts to show up wherever I turn and make me want to barf profusely at any given moment.
That aside, though we aren’t into the horrifying Hallmark holiday in theory or practice, we can still get behind the spirit of love. Particularly loving yourself. Knowing that you deserve presents for all the wonderful things you have done. The usual stuff.
That’s where we come in. Because we recognize how beautiful, thoughtful, wonderful, and deserving you are, we are ready to bestow upon you great gifts. Literally.
Because we’re also into promoting our local towns and businesses that give back to their community, Carlo and I decided our giveaways this year would include products from the places we reside. For me, that’s Asheville, NC.
Though I legally can’t send you any of the fine micro-brewed beer that is so prevalent in this town, there are plenty of other tasty, natural, fine-smelling items we’re including as a part of our prize package. And guess what? You have a choice!
The winner of the giveaway will be able to choose three of the options below for their personalized V-day gift package:
Handmade artisan chocolates from the French Broad Chocolate Lounge.
Coffee from Dynamite Roasting Co. for people who love a serious kick from their java.
Soaps and the best Hemp Lip Balm ever from Fairie Made.
Gift certificate for the acoustic musician’s dream shop: Acoustic Corner.
A yummy locally-made, soy-based candle from Elementality. Choose Earth, Air, Fire, or Water.
