Giveaway: The Blue Top Hat

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation.
The winner is Suzanne of Crunchy Green Mom!
Congratulations!

When I was first introduced to The Blue Top Hat, I was amazed at the innovative gift giving idea they’ve come up with.

Imagine giving a present that continually gives throughout the year. How it works is that you purchase a themed gift package such as for a new baby, wedding, new home, spa, etc. and the recipient will receive a basket of 12 individually wrapped gifts to be opened during a designated month for the next year. How cool is that?

From the site: “Each gift offers the recipient a full year of celebrations with chances for reflection, photos, and new memories to be created. Our gifts will be enjoyed once a month for an entire year. This promotes the true meaning of gift giving by actually celebrating the occasion and relationships that are critical to the occasion. At the end of the year, recipients will have a lasting memory book that will be a record of their year to enjoy for years to come. Giving a Blue Top Hat® gift signifies belief and investment in a relationship or an individual and offers opportunities to enhance individual enjoyment in life.”

There are various priced gift baskets available to fit all budgets and you’ll be able to discuss your ideas with one of their gift experts. Using your ideas, they’ll come up with 3 options for you to choose from and will continue to help you until you’re 100% satisfied with your gift.

The Blue Top Hat has generously donated a New Baby Celebration Book and an Embroidered Baby Blanket for one lucky winner. To enter, just stop by The Blue Top Hat before May 23rd and take a look around. Then come back and mention which themed basket is your favorite. That’s it! A random winner will be selected and notified on May 24th. The winner will then have 3 days to claim their prize.

To earn extra entries, just subscribe to my feed and/or mention this giveaway on your blog with a link back here and to The Blue Top Hat. Please let me know if you’re doing/did the extra credit so I can make sure you’re entered properly.

This giveaway is open to US addresses only. Good luck!

  64. sryan says:

    I have a gift for you! My mommy book club just read the novel, “The Book of Mom” by Taylor Wilshire. It is the perfect summer read, I read it on an airplane. It’s about a mom that burns out and is overwhelmed and how she finds her self back with the help of her best friend and a therapist. I am not into New Age spirituality or meditation, but have to say that this was the best book, hands down that I have read in a long time, it’s really funny and has some good insights. If you have read it would you share your thoughts?

  65. ALISON says:

    What a great idea! I love the “new house” basket.

  66. Kristi Blackstone says:

    Baby basket…tummy time

  69. Vickie Couturier says:

    Ive got two new grandbabies coming so I could use this,The baby basket was the pick for me ,thanks so much

  70. Deb says:

    I think the baby gift is wonderful. A new Mother can be overwhelmed and a gift each month would be a “pick-me-up”.

  71. Kelly says:

    I have babies on the brain so I’d chose the baby basket.

  76. Tracy says:

    The baby basket is wonderful. Your story is great. This is a wonderful way for you both to stay connected though you are so far away from each. I wish you much success.

  77. Jill Myrick says:

    What a wonderful site !!
    I think that my favorite would have to be the Spa Basket. This to me is the perfect gift for someone with or without children. But to me anyone with children would deeply appreciate receiving a gift that is meant especially for them.
    Thank you so much for the wonderful contest.
    I would LOVE to win !!

  78. Jenna says:

    I loved the “Celebrating a Baby’s First Year” I have another little one on the way and little things once a month like that are just awesome!
