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 :-D

    Seeing as I just turned 23 a couple of weeks ago, my next birthday is far away but all I know is I want to spend my 24th surrounded by the people I can’t get enough of. I would love cards with kind words, free drinks (because it’s the birthday law), and I would love another Earl Grey JA candle! SO all in all.. I just want good people, good tastes and good smells surrounding me when I welcome the big 24 in one year!! WOO! <3 birthdays!

    BIRTHDAY ME!!

    I just turned 29 so my next birthday will be the big 3-0! I really don’t like to make a big deal out of my birthday, so I usually just have a quiet evening with my husband. Our birthdays are a week apart so we celebrate them at the same time, going out to dinner and a movie. Won’t really be dropping any specific hints about presents.

    Birthday Me! (Happy birthday Sherry!) If we’re talking wishes, I’d love to be scuba diving with my husband in Belize on my birthday. But we’re currently doing some renos, and we have two young kids, and we need a new vehicle, so instead I’ll probably just ask for chocolate cupcakes, ’cause they’re cool too! :)

    Birthday me!!

    My birthday is in just a few weeks. To celebrate our birthdays we often will leave the kids with the grandparents for the night and go stay in a hotel. This year I told my husband that for my birthday I want him to tell me that we are going to a hotel but then instead drive to the airport and take me to see our friends in San Francisco for the weekend. So I basically told him when and how to surprise me. I don’t think it’s going to happen unless he’s being a really good actor. Or maybe it is then?
