{Leave Some Love} Valentine’s Day Giveaway

February is here and so follows Valentine’s Day. Now, regardless of what my hubby says about this “commercialized” day, I love it! You will never see me object to a day when love gets the center of attention. Is it commercialized? Uhh, yeah, but what holiday isn’t? That doesn’t mean you have to buy into THAT part of it. Of course you love your kids, your family, your spouse, every day of the year, but doesn’t Valentine’s Day just remind us to tell them or show them in one small way or another?

Don’t Spend a Dime.

  • Make a card – I promis they’ll love it!
  • Put a special treat in their lunch box or
  • Bike to the park for a picnic lunch together
  • Make a Top 10 List of “things I ♥ about you”
  • Hire a babysitter for the night {wink wink}
  • Cook or bake something sweet for a friend
  • Cover the front door in paper hearts (why not?)
  • Stick a scented post-it on the bathroom mirror
  • Grab a camera and take fun photos of each other!
  • Watch a sunset together (for those NOT living in a frozen tundra)

Easy…it’s in the details :)

Well, if I can get to the point now, we’re honoring our Facebook FANS with a Giveaway!!! All you have to do is be our fan on our TLC Inspirations FB page or The Pinhead FB page, and then comment on this post about how you “left some love” behind for somebody between now and Valentine’s Day. It doesn’t have to be extraordinary, but it does have to be kind. It could be something you did, a friendly hand-up, or just how you made someone smile. Whatever it is, please share!

Winner will randomly be chosen on Valentine’s Day ♥ You may win one of the following -
YOUR CHOICE!

The drop necklace is made of a dark coppery metal, using different colored glass beads, crystals, and semi-precious stones. It’s adjustable and is easily dressed up or dressed down. $25 value. The Oogie Boogie Monster Doll is upcycled from a sweatshirt and fabric scraps, but is not recommended for children under the age of 6. His body is about 12″ and he’s approximately 19″ high, and is the perfect Vday gift for a loved one. $20 value.


Congrats to Our Giveaway Winner

TLC Inspirations wishes everyone a Happy  Holiday, filled with warm hugs, lots of smiles, and a joyful spirit.

We want to thank every one of our fans on our TLCI Facebook page!  Our “Big Fat Giveaway” was a huge success, and we thoroughly enjoyed all of your Holiday memories; the sentimental, the silly, and the outrageous.  It was so much fun, I think we’ll be doing this again next year!

Ronit is the winner of our “Big Fat Giveaway,” and she won her choice of anything in our Etsy shop.  This is her response, and her prize pick…

“I’ve gone through all of the items in your Etsy shop, alongside my mom and grandma, and we all really loved the Women’s Black Fashion Scarf. We all want to wear it! (I can see we’ll be fighting for rights over it!).”


Our Big, Fat Giveaway + BLACK FRIDAY

This {GiVeAWaY} is now ended.  We will post the winner, as soon as we get verification. :)

Well, Thanksgiving is tomorrow and, just as we’ve promised, we’re doing our “Big, Fat Giveaway”…our biggest one of the year, actually. This is a Giveaway in appreciation of our FACEBOOK FANS, so our only requirement is that if you’re not already one of our amazing fans, please consider becoming a fan of the TLC Inspirations Facebook Page. We’re only interested in acquiring true, long-term fans, and they will be well rewarded with handmade news, blog updates, deals, giveaways, and great finds. We promise we’ll make it worth your while.

To enter, please post your favorite holiday memory from your childhood (in a “comment”, below). It need not be long, but something that sticks out in your mind as special time. We can’t wait to read all of the entries! A winner will be chosen at random, but whoever is chosen will have the unique prospect of choosing whatever they’d like from our store…old, new, expensive, whatever. It’s YOUR CHOICE. You can’t beat that with a stick!

If you’d like additional entries (up to five), please promote the giveaway online in any way you can and post a new comment (with link) for each promotion. Contest ends at noon, December 9th.

Ok, now on to the money-saving. Black Friday officially starts at 12:01am, this Friday and our sale goes through 11:59pm Monday night. During this event, TLC Inspirations’ Handmade Gift and Accessories Shop will be MARKING DOWN most of our items, offering FREE worldwide shipping and FREE gift wrapping (upon request) on EVERYTHING in our store.

I think that qualifies as a pretty kickin’ sale, so leave all the other people to get up at 3am and head to the mall for not-so-killer deals and, instead, with slippers on and coffee in hand, click on over to TLC Inspirations and take advantage of some super savings. While you’re at it, check out many of the wonderful handmade items alive and well at Etsy. Many are participating in this weekend’s sale, so take your time and ease into the holidays with grace and style :)
