In the spirit of Oprah’s “Favorite Things” and Ellen’s “12 Days of Giveaways”—oh yeah, and that Santa guy, I am joining in the season of giving.
My favorite website for organizing tools and info, Get Buttoned Up, has agreed to offer my readers some FREE stocking stuffers as well as discounts on items from their site.
Click here to shop the website and receive 25% off your purchase of $20 or more (offer good through December 26, ‘09). Just use code: 25OFF at checkout.
In addition to this discount, STARTING TODAY (12/7/09), I will be offering a giveaway-a-day for the next 6 days. You simply need to follow me on Twitter (YourHomeEditor) and when I post the giveaway for that day, the FIRST person to respond to me (via twitter OR email: heather@yourhomeeditor.com) will receive that day’s gift from the kind, awesome folks at Get Buttoned Up. I will reply to you letting you know if you won and post your name through my twitter as well. HINT: I will post that day’s prize some time between 8am – 5pm EST (do I sound like a cable installation guy or what? Lol)
Wheeeee. I feel like one of Santa’s elves. Here are a few of the very cool stocking stuffers and items we will be gifting:
ButtonedUp.coupons (2 winners)

Make someone feel truly pampered and loved this Holiday. This fun, friendly little coupon book from Buttoned Up® has 20 cleverly illustrated coupons that enable you to lighten the load of someone you love – mom, dad, roommate, or friend. The set includes coupons for everyday tasks like taking out the trash, doing the laundry, and running the errands. Each one is perforated, so you can give one coupon at a time, or the whole book at once.
Greetings.stash

The Greetings.stash™ from Buttoned Up® will make sure you don’t come up empty-handed when it counts! This nifty little package of 12 stylishly designed cards (6 birthday, 2 anniversary, 2 thank you, 2 blank) has you covered for birthdays, anniversaries…and any other occasion you can think of.
Birthday.book

The Birthday.book from Buttoned Up® functions as an extended memory bank for all of those people you want to remember on a particular date. Because it’s paper-based, it’s super-easy to use, and will never go bad or accidentally delete the records.
File.starter

Keeping household paperwork in order should make life easier, not create more work. The File.starter set from Buttoned Up® comes with ten labeled, color-coded, file folders grouped into three simple categories; Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise. Also included are two blank files for you to fill in with whatever suits your needs.
Tax.filer

This pre-labeled accordion file makes it a snap to wrangle all those forms, receipts and records that accumulate like weeds between January and April. Tabs are written in English, not in complicated financial lingo, so it’s easy to follow –”Money In,” “Money Out,” “Money Saved.” Use it to go from W-2’s to completed returns with sanity intact.
GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
