I've Got You to Thank for This

Now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered!

This is the second of my giveaways to celebrate Little D Down Under's first blogiversary! The other one is running concurrently with this one so make sure you check it out, too.

Once again, because I am currently in California waiting for my visa back to Australia and back to my fiance, I've decided to do a Santa Cruz theme for the giveaways.

Here are the items you could win:


Another super soft and really cool shirt from Jesse and Nine Red! This one has an image of the Walton Lighthouse, which is located in the Santa Cruz Harbor, on it. It is a Small (unisex) and is the perfect shirt to pair with some cute jeans and some thongs or Vans for a morning at the Farmers' Market or for walking along West Cliff and watching the surfers and sea lions.

Be sure to check out Jesse's Santa Cruz Specials Blog, as well, any time you are headed out for food or drinks in Santa Cruz because he's got all the local deals right there in one spot for you and it's a super easy site to use!

Image via Mackenzies Chocolates.

You will also win two chocolate banana slugs- one peanut butter filled milk chocolate one and another unfilled one that looks just like the picture above. Banana slugs are native to the area and they are also the mascot for U.C. Santa Cruz. How fun is it that they get to yell "Go Slugs!" during their games?? It always made me laugh to hear my sister and her UCSC Girls' Water Polo teammates yell it at halftime.

The third thing you will win is a bar of Dr. Bronner's Certified Fair Trade, Hemp Peppermint Pure Castille Soap made with Organic Oils because Santa Cruz locals are all about fair trade and organic stuff.

  1. Ugh! I posted a comment but it didn't go through for some reason. Soooo- I'll start over. :)

    I know it sounds cheesy, but I really enjoy reading so many of your posts since I can relate totally to a lot of them. I do think though that my favorite one (at least lately) is the one where you announced your engagement. I know that must have been SO exciting for you to post. I know you must be thrilled and being engaged is such a wonderful thing. Wedding planning is so much fun and I hope you love it. Congrats again!!

  7. My favorite post was a recent one - "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts". I get migraines too, so I can sympathize. And I love how you note you aren't pregnant, but label the post with "babies" anyway. That's my ind of sense of humor.
