gifts for guys sneak peak... and a giveaway!

kojodesigns



To celebrate the rapidly approaching Gifts for Guys series (it starts next Monday, November 8th!), we thought we'd do a little preview. And Eve (at the etsy shop Eve's Little Earthlings) has graciously volunteered to do a giveaway as well! Yay!

Here's a little taste of the Gifts for Guys Goodness to come:
 
*five themes including beer/coffee, gear and gear covers, clothing, edible goodness, and hobbies!
*a rockstar lineup of guest bloggers including the girls from craftiness is not optional, from an igloo, delia creates, i am momma hear me roar, the cottage home, olivia renn, lemon tree creations, the creative maven, lemon squeezey home, and our hartbeat! whew!
*some FABULOUS giveaways... and by fabulous, I mean hundreds of dollars worth of stuff that we'd LOVE to give to Adam and Drew (and our dad... and our brother... and our brother-in-laws)
Speaking of terrific giveaways, we're getting things started today!
Which guy on your list wouldn't love this tree branch bottle cover by Eve's Little Earthlings? A bottle of beer (or coke! or even an Izze) fits right into this wool branch cozy! It will keep your husband's/dad's/brother's drink cool, his hands warm and add a touch of the great outdoors to a relaxing brew. The cozy is made from 2 layers of recycled wool fabric that remind me of birch bark. There is a little added branch sprouting from every cozy and a nice green leaf for decoration.

Check out her other stuff too- all upcycled from felted wool sweaters. Fabulous!

There are 3 ways to enter this giveaway (ends thursday, 11/4 at midnight):
1- Leave a comment.
2- Follow this blog (and leave a comment saying so).... if you're already a follower, great! Just leave a comment saying you already follow us.
3- Favorite this etsy shop (and leave a comment saying so).


Good luck y'all!
