After a holiday giveaway filled with excitement and many entries, we’ve crowned our big winner. The random draw selected Nina (who plans to soak up and celebrate the season with her toddler, baby, and husband this week while doing some gift wrapping, toy assembling, and cookie baking by the tree). Congratulations, Nina!
Oprah has Favorite Things, Martha has Good Things, and we have Things We Love. We gathered five prizes we truly adore, covering a range of topics we love to talk about here — from art and tools to cleaning gadgets and ceramic speakers. Together these prizes total nearly $750 in value for one lucky reader. Here’s what one winner’s stocking received:
- An iRobot Scooba 230 – A compact floor-washing robot from the makers of Roomba that fits under cabinets and around tight spaces (worth $299). Less time scrubbing floors means more time for DIY projects and family fun.
- An $150 gift certificate from 20×200 – A favorite source for fresh, original art, including pieces that make thoughtful gifts. The certificate can be used toward prints or framed pieces.
- Over $200 worth of Kreg Tools – Tools that help build confidence for woodworking projects. This prize includes the Kreg Jig Master System, Multi-Mark, Shelf Pin Jig, and Square-Cut (total value $215).
- The ceramic pig speaker from West Elm – A quirky, well-loved decorative speaker that often sells out; West Elm set one aside for the giveaway winner.
- A She & Him “A Very She & Him Christmas” CD (or LP) and a winter hat – Perfect seasonal music to enjoy on the new pig speaker, featuring holiday tracks from Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward.
