A Hallmark Giveaway!

On my recent trip to the BlogHer Conference in sunny San Diego, I had the chance to meet with different companies and Hallmark happened to be one of them.  I just received this fun back-to-school confidence package from them.

Before I even had the chance to introduce this little red bug to the kids, Paige found the box and wanted to know immediately if it was for her....I can't hide anything from my little farm girl.















The package also included a few Hallmark cards, themed around school and a bite-sized pad of Lunchbox Notes.  The idea behind the bug, an Encouragement Bug, is to challenge the entire family to support each other by passing it around...one person begins by filling the bug in the zipper pouch with treasures, a coupon {such as good for one bed making, etc.}, a note, etc. and leaves the bug where the recipient will find it.  Once it is found, that person is now in charge of surprising another family member by passing it on.  Fun, right?!














I don't know about your kids, but mine LOVE notes.  Especially ones they find in their lunchbox or backpack.  Here's what a few of them have to say.......






















So, if you would like your very own Confidence Package for your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc., all you have to do is leave me a comment to let me know you would like one and become a 'follower' of this blog by either following on the right side, subscribe by email or in your reader.  I will choose a winner by using random.org and announce the winner next Thursday!  Hallmark will mail the winner a package of their very own!

Please feel free to share this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Good luck!

Disclosure:  I was sent this package for free by Hallmark, but the opinion is all my own.

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to leave a comment, I love to hear from you!. Have a fantastic day!

My son would have loved it when he was little, but since he is now 25 and single (with no kids), I doubt that he would want it. However, if I get lucky, I would save it for those grandchildren I hope to get one day to spoil. (Lillian Lane, jkklane@surewest.net)

I would love to win this for my grand daughter, she writes little notes to all of us and writes poems for us, it would be great to give this treat to her.

Love it! Being a single mom with twin boys some days it seems all they do is fight and all I do is discipline. What a great way for my boys to learn and feel the strength encouraging each other can bring.

Please add my name to the list for the Hallmark gift packet! My granddaughter who is preschool is having a baby brother in about 8 weeks and she could use something like this. Her Mom my son’s wife, has already bought a baby boy doll to bring home from the hospital along with the new live baby boy!
