Vera Bradley Travel Bag and Accessories Giveaway – Closed

December 12, 2010 By

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Laura Benjamin! And thanks so much to everybody for all their entries!

Are you going to be traveling for the holidays? This year we are only going as far as my Aunt and Uncle’s house about two hours away, but for those of you traveling on planes, trains, or by automobile to stay somewhere overnight, I have travel tips and a fantastic giveaway brought to you by InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG). Here are some tips to help you cut your travel costs this year:

* Check it Free – Travelers can get up to $50 toward their first checked bag on any airline when they spend a weekend at any IHG hotel across the U.S. between now and Dec. 30, 2010.

* Sweet Dilemma – IHG is offering a flexible choice for any traveler who stays twice at any IHG property from September 20 to December 31, 2010 – free nights, double reward club points or miles.

There are InterContinental Hotels located around the world as well as here in the U.S. in cities like Boston, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. Visit their website to find a hotel close to your holiday destination!

To make packing for your trip easier and more stylish, I have a wonderful giveaway for a lucky MomReviews reader. Thanks to IHG, I received this beautiful travel set to review plus I get to give one away!  The prize pack includes a Vera Bradley Travel Frame Bag in medium grey, a Sonia Kashuk Valet bag, a Sonia Kashuk Frame Purse, a Lewis N. Clark neck pillow, a pair of iHome Noise Isolating Earphones with volume control and pouch, and a $25 VISA gift card.  Approximate retail value of everything – $230.00. You’ll be traveling in style!  Here’s a closer look:


The Travel Frame bag is Vera Bradley’s take on the classic doctor bag. The frame keeps the bag upright, and inside are four pockets and a zippered compartment to keep smaller items organized. The shoulder strap is removable.

A neat feature of the Sonia Kashuk Valet bag is that the three pouches are removable – those white strips you see in the photo are velcro. So, pack everything you need for your trip, then detach the top pouch with your travel shampoo and body wash to take to the shower,  pack makeup in one of the small pouches to tuck  in your purse. It’s a really clever bag.

    Recipe Nut and Hormel Giveaway

    October 19, 2010 By

    Recipe Nut, located at www.RecipeNut.com, is a new online tool and community for storing, sharing and building one of the most persistent sources of kitchen clutter – the busting box, file or pile of papers that comprises a recipe collection.

    Recipe Nut enables people to upload their personal recipes as well as aggregate recipes from all other online sources, from magazine websites to food blogs, and swap them with other “recipe nuts.” A social network for recipe enthusiasts, the site enables users to identify and follow other users with similar dish, cuisine and ingredient preferences, rate and review recipes and share their favorites via Facebook, Twitter and e-mail.

    To help spread the word about Recipe Nut, I get the opportunity to give away a great prize pack of items to one lucky MomReviews reader!

    · Hormel® Always Tender® pork product coupon: Hormel® Always Tender® products are all pre-marinated for superb tenderness, juiciness and flavor, so there’s no prep time and no cleanup required. Available in more than 40 varieties.

    · Hormel® Natural Choice® deli meat full value product coupon: Great-tasting, all-natural products you can feel good about eating and serving. Zero preservatives, artificial ingredients or MSG. No nitrites or nitrates added. And they’re gluten free.

    · Hormel® real crumbled bacon bits: Hormel® bacon toppings are made from 100 percent real bacon. Add to salads, soups and other recipes!

    · Hormel® pepperoni minis: Add zest to a wide variety of dishes with great tasting pepperoni. In addition to perking up pizza, pepperoni is an ideal partner for sandwiches, salads, pasta or nachos and more.

    · Hormel® premium chunk chicken breast: Hormel® chunk meats are fully-cooked, one hundred percent real meat perfect for sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups, nachos and quesadillas.

    · Hormel® chili with beans: Hormel® chili is made with choice ingredients, blended and simmered slowly in an open kettle to bring out their full flavor and aroma. The result is a rich and hearty flavor chili lovers ask for!
