Gifting and Regifting: The Giveaway

December 11, 2009

Gifting and Regifting 

I’m a regifter.  

Yep.

Please reserve your judgement.  This is about to get interesting.

See… I’ve been given all sorts of gifts this year.  From two blogger conferences, I’ve amassed enough kitchen supplies to equip a small army of chefs.  

The good news is that I want to share all of this loot with you.  It’s not that I don’t love these things, it’s just that I love regifting more.  It’s like the most fun recycling… ever.  That’s where you come in. 

I’ve got silly whisks.  I’ve got gorgeous cookbooks.  I’ve got coffee and milk frothers.  I’ve got choppers and tenderizers.  Cuisinart, people.  I’ve got fancy sporks and way cool forks… all sorts of little gems.  

I’m regifting four little bundles of kitchen goodies to four of you.  Keep the goodies as a gift to yourself or regift them this holiday season.  I won’t tell a soul!

To enter this (both humble and perhaps ethically questionable) giveaway, just leave a comment in this post sharing the best holiday gift you’ve ever received.  Comments are accepted until Sunday at noon.

Today is my birthday and I’m so excited to have gotten a suitcase filled with cupcake liners from Bake it Pretty. I know, random, but my mind is so clouded today :)

The best holiday gift I’ve ever received was from a coworker who bought me black and pink shoelaces to match my black and pink converse sneakers :) So thoughtful!

The best holiday gift I received was the recipe for my grandmother’s traditional Christmas Eve soup. Now that she’s gone, it’s my job to make the soup every year. It’s my favorite part of the holidays.

My husband shopped around at every possible store and begged every sales clerk for a discount so he could afford a pearl necklace for me for our first Christmas. The work he put into staying within his budget makes them priceless to me!

I would have to say the best Christmas gift I have received would be the Christmas of 2007. It was the first Christmas with my twin daughters. They weren’t even a month old yet. My husband and I were so sleep deprived but I know it will always be the best gift we have received.
Merry Christmas Joy!

I’d love a milk frother for my humble home-made lattes. (Crossing fingers here). ‘course, new (to me) cookbooks always find a welcome home in my kitchen…

Also, thought I’d say that my coworkers and I are enjoying your Peppermint Sandwich Cookies. I made a batch for the office cookie exchange (and kept some for myself & my kids as well). Yumm.

Thanks!

Best gift is one I’ve already received this year from my mum. I’m participating in a 200K bike ride in honour of my mother in law (Brenda) who has ovarian cancer. This year my mum donated to support my ride in Brenda’s honour. Most thoughtful and touching gift ever. Mum’s sure know how to be sweet don’t they!

The best gift I ever received was probably a dorky little change-sorting doohickey. It’s funny, but I’ve had it for years and years now and it’s the only gift I can recall having received that I consistently use.

I think the best gift I ever received would have to be the first pastry cutter I was given. At first I was like, what is this and why on *earth* would I want it? Now it’s probably my most used kitchen tool and I don’t know what I’d do without it.

The absolute best Christmas gift I’ve ever received was my daughter – she’s a Christmas baby and has brought us so much joy. The best kitchen-based gift I’ve received was my Kitchen-Aide stand mixer (in cherry red) for late Christmas last year. I’d been wanting one for years and kept talking about it so much that my spouse finally ordered it for me! What a guy!

My best gift was my KitchenAid mixer! I use it constantly and am so glad that I don’t have to live without it. I love that it is a more vintage-y model, and my folks got it really cheap too! That just makes it even better for some reason :)

The best gift I have received was a lovely purse!! :)

My best Christmas present that comes to mind is when I was 10 years old and I was SO HAPPY to receive a shiny, new girls blue stingray bike, with a banana seat and a white wicker basket (on the handlebars) that had plastic pink flowers attached to it!

1979 I had just poured me a glass of homemade eggnog when my Sister walked in and said “I’m in labor”. Being the coach I quickly handed my drink to brother Jim and waited 10 hours for the birth of her daughter. The most precious gift I ever received.

One of my favorite and most memorable gifts was the Christmas I was first married and we were celebrating Christmas with my in-laws. This was my first Christmas without my family and I was homesick. My husband went all out and surprised me with Tiffany earrings and necklace set. On top of that he got us a PS2…I was so blown away and it did cheer me up.
