Fab Freebie: Sherry’s Birthday Wish

***This giveaway has reached its cap and is now closed – see who won below!***

You guys shut this puppy down with 10,000 entries in less than a day. Wow! So we’ve already selected our random winner. She is… Rhonda (who thinks she’s gonna ask for a juicer – to go along with her Christmas blender). Congrats!

Tomorrow is Sherry’s 31st birthday. So a few weeks ago I asked her if she wanted to do anything special giveaway-wise to celebrate. She looked dreamily towards the sky, a smile spread across her face, and she said “I want to do a Jonathan Adler giveaway and I want a picture of him holding ceramic animals and grinning like a fool. Because we are kindred spirits. That would pretty much make my year.”

A week later this photo appeared in my inbox:

Jonathan Adler Giveawy Ceramic Animals

The girl wanted a Jonathan Adler giveaway (you can read more about her love of the guy here) and the girl got it. The wonderfully cheerful people of Jonathan Adler were completely down with the idea (and the ceramic-animal-centric photo, apparently) so they’ve offered up a whopping $500 for one lucky winner to spend on whatever they’d like – animal or otherwise. Beyond obsessing over his white ceramic creatures, Sherry shares his love of poppy patterns, colorful accents, and chic accessories that don’t take themselves too seriously. So, um, happy birthday to one of you!

    BIRTHDAY ME!!! For my next birthday I hit the big 20 and a smartphone would be dabomb.com! But I would be content with some yummy vanilla ice cream because I know the smartphone isn’t happening!

    BIRTHDAY ME! My birthday is actually coming up in April! I don’t like a lot of “things” so I always try to ask for consumables. Chocolate, a dinner out, tea, things that I don’t have to store forever. This year I would like my husband to go hiking with me and our dogs. :)

    I would love a soldering iron for my birthday, but… Since its the same thing I wanted for Christmas and didn’t receive I don’t think it will happen. I don’t think anyone takes me seriously when I ask tools for gifts. Who wouldn’t be thrilled unwrapping a new cordless drill or miter saw?

    My 30th birfday is this October. I am hoping my husband and I can get away for the weekend just the 2 of us. I usually have a party but I would like to do something low-key this year instead to make it special.

    I’m not a huge birthday person (really don’t care for the whole gift-giving thing), but if family wanted to band together… I’d love WeatherTech floor liners for the rest of my car (already have the cargo area) and a roof rack with surfboard attachment.
