Grateful Giveaways #8: Sinbad Sweets

April 11, 2011 by Tara Kuczykowski

Well, here we are, the end of our Grateful Giveaways Graduation Event. I hope you have enjoyed all of the fantastic giveaways! We are finishing up our day with delicious dessert from Sinbad Sweets.

Hosting a Graduation Party can sometimes be stressful, from the invitations to the decorations and even the food. Sinbad Sweets can help ease your stress with their Party Trays. They also offer gifts for that special anniversary, birthday or even send a thank you.

Sinbad Sweets is the country’s leading specialty baker of the Mediterranean delicacy baklava and many other sinfully delicious desserts. Their baklava varieties, nut tarts, macaroons and turtle shells are hand-crafted by a team of highly skilled artisan bakers. Their unique combination of old-world recipes and proprietary innovations allow them to keep the assortments of sweets consistently delicious and authentic.

They are located in the heart of California, surrounded by nut and fruit orchards and vineyards. They take pride in supporting their local economy by actively sourcing local suppliers for ingredients whenever possible. All of their nuts, honey, eggs and dairy products arrive wholesome and fresh from local ranches and farmers. They produce their own fillo dough on site, guaranteeing their stringent quality standards are consistently met.

But how do they taste? Let’s just say my willpower was sorely tested. We received a delicious array of macaroons, nut tarts, and baklava, and while they were all delicious, the baklava was incredible — light, flaky, and saturated with honey. And the trays are very generous — we have plenty to share with friends and family.

One lucky reader will win a $100 credit to spend on Sinbad Sweets!

Grateful Giveaways #7: Scout by Bungalow

April 11, 2011 by Tara Kuczykowski

Our next giveaway comes to you from Scout by Bungalow Tote Bags. If you have not heard of them before, they are company who sells bags, totes, bins and other items that help to keep you organized. However, these are not your run of the mill storage items, these are fun and original!

Scout by Bungalow was started in 2004. They began with 4 bags and 4 designs and have grown to more than 400 items including totes, storage containers, insulated items, travel and flooring. They have the most gorgeous colors and designs available. The one thing I instantly noticed was that you can find patterns from whimsical to contemporary. No matter your design taste, there is something for everyone!

I actually received a few Scout by Bungalow Tote Bags to try out for myself:

I’m a huge Scout by Bungalow fan — these items are adorable and functional. I chose the Croc-O-Gator Black and White for the Four Boys Bag and the Be-Low_me Bag, and I selected the Scout Signature print for the Laundrylicious Bag.

I was shocked at just how big the Four Boys Bag is, but I know it’s going to come in handy for summer vacation, as will the Laundrylicious Laundry Bag. I hate to mix our dirty clothes in with the clean to bring them home, so we typically toss all of the dirty clothes in a garbage bag, but this laundry bag is so much better! And I will definitely be picking up some more of the Be-Low-Me bags. They make under bed storage so easy and convenient.

Scout by Bungalow Tote Bags is giving one Deal Seeking Mom reader the same prize package I reviewed above, a value of $102!

EACH of the 12 participating blogs has their own prizes to give away so make sure to enter on each blog for the best chances to win! Use this spreadsheet to keep track of your entries!

REQUIRED ENTRY:

1. Visit Scout by Bungalow Tote Bags and checkout all of the totes, bags, bins and their patterns. Then come back here and and leave a comment on which is your favorite!

Grateful Giveaways #6: Tony’s Pizza

April 11, 2011 by Tara Kuczykowski

Graduation is something that only comes around once or twice if they go to college, so I’m sure if you have a graduate in your family then you’ll want to capture those memories.

Tony’s Pizza prides itself in offering busy moms more value in their everyday lives, especially as they help prepare their children for the next phase of their lives.

Now through May, Tony’s Pizza has teamed up with Snapfish with an exciting promotion! In an effort to provide families with more opportunities to capture their family memories, Tony’s is offering 20 free Snapfish prints with each purchase of specially marked boxes of Tony’s Original Crust Pizza. By entering the code from the back of your Tony’s Pizza box at TonysMoreMemories.com you will receive 20 free Snapfish prints and the chance to win other great Snapfish products!

In a perfect world I’d have a home-cooked meal on the table every single night, but in reality, things don’t always go as planned and I may be scrambling to put something together before rushing off to this or that sports practice. I like to keep a stash of Tony’s Pizzas in my freezer for just these occasions. Delivery pizza can easily run our family $35 these days, so having a backup on hand has saved our budget several times. Plus I can always count on all of my kids to eat it, a tough feat in our household!

As moms prepare to capture graduation milestones Tony’s Pizza want’s to offer one Deal Seeking Mom reader a “MORE Memories” package to help celebrate your graduate’s achievements. This prize package is worth approximately $105!!

Grateful Giveaways #5: Faber-Castell Pens

April 11, 2011 by Tara Kuczykowski

What does it say about a company that has been in business since 1761? That’s right, 250 years ago Faber-Castell was founded in Germany as a pencil manufacturer. Today, Faber-Castell is a world renowned for its art supplies and fine writing instruments. Faber-Castell stands behind the quality of their work by guaranteeing the mechanics of your writing instrument for life.

Whether the graduate in your life will be continuing their education or entering the workforce, Faber-Castell makes a a writing implement to fit every style making the perfect gift. Check out all the design choices at Faber-Castell.com

If you followed me during the Back to School season last fall, you know that we can pick up scores of ink pens and spend next to nothing out of pocket. But they just don’t compare to the feel of writing with a really nice pen like those produced by Faber-Castell. Writing with a high-end pen is a totally different sensory experience because they just seem to fit your hand better with the slight bit of added weight, and the ink flows smoothly every time. I’m totally inspired to write more handwritten notes now!

Of course I don’t discount the fact that refillable pens are better for the environment as well. There’s less packaging and waste overall, and a fine writing implement can last indefinitely.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win 2 Faber-Castell pens with a value of more than $100!!

EACH of the 12 participating blogs has their own prizes to give away so make sure to enter on each blog for the best chances to win! Use this spreadsheet to keep track of your entries!

REQUIRED ENTRY:

1. Leave a comment telling me what type of pen you like best……ball point, fountain, roller ball, medium point, fine point, or does it matter etc…..?

BONUS ENTRIES:

1. Follow Deal Seeking Mom on a reader or via e-mail updates and leave a comment on this post.
