Kohl’s Mother’s Day Diamond Earrings Giveaway

May 5, 2010 by Momstart 477 Comments

I recently went to Kohl’s for a mommy indulgence of new jeans, and a shirt for a great price. As a mom and the family budget keeper, it’s my job to bargain shop. Saving money is making money and Kohl’s always has something on sale. This last Christmas, I received a beautiful necklace from my stepmom and dad. It was gorgeous and it said on the tag that it was 75.00. But knowing that my stepmom follows the same budgeting values that I do, I’m pretty sure she got it on sale.

Now with Mother’s Day on the horizon Kohl’s Jewelry Department is on sale. Find exquisite pieces marked up to 60 percent off. Kohl’s jewelry department is the place to shop for quality mother’s day gifts she’ll love, or jewelry gifts for any occasion. To celebrate this huge sale going on at Kohls, they are giving away a set of diamond earrings valued at 1750.00.

These earrings are the perfect gift for yourself or someone special – what woman wouldn’t love a gorgeous pair of diamond earrings to make her sparkle. They are certified, high quality and can be found at Kohls, for an amazing price!

The earrings have a four-prong setting with 14k gold screwback posts. The certification includes an International Gemological Institute certificate of authenticity that verifies clarity, color and carat weight. And they come in a cute white leatherette gift box.

Enter to win:

Your choice of either white gold studded diamond earrings, or gold gold studded diamond earrings valued at 1750.00.

Giveaway is USA only and Ends May 9th, midnight pacific.

Things Remembered Mother’s Day Giveaway

April 22, 2010 by Momstart 320 Comments

When thinking of what to get mom for Mother’s Day, personalized items are high on the list. Making something personal, or by hand is always loved by mom, adding a photo or just the right words makes any gift very personal. I’ve been working with Things Remembered since I started blogging. They provided me a necklace last year for Mother’s Day and when they asked me if I wanted to work with them again this year, I said yes, I would love to.

Last Year I received The Story Charm for Mother’s Day from Things Remembered:

The Story Charm

Give the gift that tells her story! Our exclusive silver-plated charms are the perfect gift to celebrate her life. Choose the charms that give voice to her love for family and friends, her special achievements, her hobbies, her passions–everything that make her the woman she is. Personalize each charm with memorable names and dates, favorite quotes–all the words of her unique story. Our charms look fabulous on our special bracelet with toggle clasp or on our diamond-cut ball chain necklace.

Their jewelry is sterling silver and they do make a few gold pieces as well. Gifts can be customized for any event, engagement, wedding, birthday, graduation, the sky is the limit here. It comes out beautiful and easy to read. It doesn’t fade over time because it’s engraved.

I also received a personalized item for Christmas that my husband and I decided to donate.

Things Remembered (40)

This year Things Remembered has two items they wish to recommend for Mother’s Day.

–Customizable Music Box – Did mom sing to you as a child? Relive those memories with a gift of song. A new collection of customizable music boxes plays clips of actual artist recordings – complete with lyrics, instruments and vocals – making them different from traditional music boxes that merely play a tune. One fitting option for Mother’s Day is the classic “I Just Called to Say I Love You” by Stevie Wonder.

–Sterling Silver Miracle of Life Necklace – The moment her children were conceived, she thought of each as a miracle. This beautifully detailed sterling silver necklace features an embracing mother and child figurine within a sparkling cut-out crystal heart. The pendant swings in front of a solid hart pendant, which can be engraved with a special message.

Out of these two options I would prefer the necklace. So guess what, Things Remembered is offering one of my readers the Sterling Silver Miracle of Life Necklace.

In addition to the giveaway:

Want you and your kids to be featured in a Things Remembered e-mail? In addition to my giveaway, Things Remembered is asking moms to submit their favorite family photo, along with an engraving they’d pick to go with it on a picture frame. Ten moms will receive free personalized frames, and the best photo/engraving will be featured in a Things Remembered e-mail! http://bit.ly/ciO8nY

Everyday is a Spa Day with Clarisonic Mia Giveaway

April 17, 2010 by Momstart 1,711 Comments

Last year, Clarisonic sent me a Clarisonic facial brush, it is just called Clarisonic, but it’s a sonic cleansing system. I just adore it. I’m not perfect at using it every day as I should, I’m just not really good at doing anything to beautify myself. However, Clarisonic makes it so easy and enjoyable. The brush heads gently exfoliate your skin and you feel like you are having a facial massage at the spa but it is in the comfort of your own home. Skin Care System: Clarisonic Mia .

The Clarisonic is water proof so you can use it in the shower, or at the sink as you are getting ready for bed. What’s even more fun is all the beautiful colors that it is now available in.

The New Mia!

Mia is the new, go-anywhere Sonic Skin Cleansing System in a great compact size. The one-button, one-speed Mia fits your active lifestyle for beautiful, glowing skin wherever life’s adventures take you.

Clarisonic Pink Makes a Difference

I really love companies that support commnuty and charity and Clarisonic is proud to support breast cancer research. With every Pink Clarisonic purchase, they will make a donation to help fund the fight against breast cancer.

Personalize your Clarisonic

You can personalize your Clarisonic after you add it to your bag. Engrave your Clarisonic with your name, favorite nickname or fun phrase. Free. Clarisonic.com exclusive offer.

Universal Charging cradle

At Clarisonic, we’re committed to making a super–sonic difference in skin care by developing products that improve the way you care for your skin.

My Opinion:

Mine arrived fully charged so I was able to use it right out of the box. It did say in the directions though that you need to charge for 24 hours before using. Both my unit and the unit that I’m giving away have the same rechargeable base. It’s so nice that we don’t have to go through batteries. The Clarisonic brush has a nice smooth pulse that feels great to me. I actually noticed a difference in my face after using it twice. A friend of mine said she noticed a difference using hers after four weeks. I think I just noticed my face looked brighter (I’m hesitant to say younger but that was my first thought) I’m not making any claims for this company, I’m just giving you my crazy opinion for whatever it’s worth.

Personalized Mothers and Fathers Day Gifts by Initials Giveaway

April 15, 2010 by Momstart 171 Comments

Initials, inc, a wonderful company that personalizes all items that are sold. Initials sent me a huge tote that I was able to personalize. I love it! It is so big it could hold one of the kids. Look at it:

It’s almost as big as the chair! I put Mom Start on it in big pink letters. It’s my only personalized bag and I can’t wait to tote it around at conferences and at the beach when I go visit my mom in Florida this year. Woo Hoo, I’m going to be on the beach.

The kids have already put some toys in it.

Part of the appeal of Initials is that they are a company that moms can work part time. It’s like Party-Lite, you can throw parties to sell the bags, and other personalized items. I mean, the items pretty much sell themselves because of how cute they are. The fonts are adorable and add just the right touch to pretty much any regular item.

Initials, Inc. was founded by Sisters – Britney Vickery and Ivy Hall shortly after becoming SAHM’s.

Initials, Inc. was created to meet those needs as women and new mothers. Over time, they quickly realized that the solution that they created for themselves could be a blessing to other women. Initials, Inc. officially launched in February 2005. Today, Initials, Inc. is national in scope and is supporting women and families all across the country through home parties selling their customer designed personalized treasures!

Mother’s Day Meal by Schwan’s Giveaway

April 11, 2010 by Momstart 642 Comments

Schwan’s is a well known food delivery service. I used them years ago when I was living on my own before I went to college. They have such delightful food to choose from. They recently contacted me about a review and giveaway and they sent me some Chicken Pot Pies to cook for dinner.

Schwan’s Home Service, America’s largest direct-to-home food delivery business, offers approximately 400 great tasting dishes like ice cream, pizza, fruits and vegetables, choice meats, seafood, breakfast items, desserts and more. Since 1952, the company has delivered frozen food orders door-to-door to households across the country and now ships nationwide, too. From the freezer to the dinner table in less than 30 minutes, Schwan’s meals provide a quick, convenient and pocketbook-friendly way for busy moms to serve their families delicious meals – and eliminate time spent at the grocery store. Ordering is simple at www.schwans.com or by calling 1-888-SCHWANS

The magazine, Good Housekeeping, has named Schwan’s Chicken Pot Pie a winner of a recent taste test comparing various brands’ takes on one of the ultimate all-American classic comfort dishes. I have to agree that it is wonderful. It doesn’t matter if you cook it in the microwave or the oven it comes out flaky and evenly cooked. I’m quite impressed with the quality as most pot pies you cook at home do not come out well unless you cook them in the oven.

Photo Review:

Serving the kids

I made them in the microwave too but I forgot to take a picture, it’s not quite as golden brown out of the microwave but it is evenly cooked. There wasn’t any cold spots or really hot spots. I’m very happy with our service. Thank you for the review!

Enter To win:

One lucky reader will receive a full family dinner (serving up to six members) featuring Chicken Pot Pie and their preferred dishes courtesy of Schwan’s Home Service, shipped right to their door!

Spotting Moms with 1800Flowers Giveaway

April 7, 2010 by Momstart 591 Comments

Today’s Mother’s Day giveaway is brought to us by 1800Flowers. 1-800-Flowers is one of the best ways to honor Mom for Mother’s Day, why? Because it’s so easy and they deliver everywhere. I’m in love with them right now because they honored me for Mother’s Day, asked me to host a giveaway and let me honor another Mom Blogger. I chose Robyn from Robyn’s Online World. Why?

Martha Stewart Pure Bliss Bouquet

Because she is another mother that does it all just like me but she makes it look even easier than I do. Her blog is about her, taking care of her family, and products that her family uses. Like me she doesn’t classify her blog into any certain category, we both blog about what we fancy that day. She is better at using the word no than I am and I admire that in her. I had the opportunity to meet her and her son on one of the Blogging Trips I went on. He is a very well mannered teen and it was a pleasure and delight to meet them both.

roses, lilies, daisies in green gathering vase

1-800Flowers.com has a Mother’s Day Gift Center. There you will find lots of ideas on what to get for Mother’s Day. You can even choose by what kind of mother you are shopping for. I find myself to be in the new mom category. I’m still pretty wet around the ears when it comes to being a mom, most things I learn from trial and error but they are the world to me and I love being a mom. That’s why I was hoping to bring my readers a month of Mom Giveaways.

1800Flowers also has a blog written by Julie Mulligan, a weblog by lifestyle expert. She is featuring mommy bloggers for 1800flowers and I was her feature on April 6th. I was the first mom to be spotted this year and I’m so excited about being featured on another blog. I’m not sure that’s ever happened before. You can read about The 2010 Spot a Mom Movement. Thank you Julie for that wonderful article and Thank You to 1800flowers for the lovely flowers you sent me.

Enter to Win:

One of My readers will get a copy of Celebrating Mom and a $75 gift certificate to use at 1-800-Flowers.

To Enter:

Tell me about your favorite Mother’s Day.
