*************Comments are now closed. The winner will be announced just as soon as Random.org picks you.**************

I know I'm putting this post up early, but any minute now I'm going to sneeze so hard that my eyeballs pop out, and then I'll really need a nap. So welcome to my giveaway!



Today I am giving away this Starbucks mug, filled with a LUSH bath bomb and a $25 Starbucks gift certificate! All of my favorite things. To enter to win, leave a comment and tell me:

If you had to choose between a nice, relaxing bath with no interruptions, or a nice hot cup of coffee (or tea) with no interruptions, which would you choose?

This contest will close and the winner will be announced on Feb 1st, and is open to residents of the US or Canada only.

And don't forget to come back on Monday, February 11 for The Big Bloggy Move. There will be more prizes!!!

Definitely a nice long, hot bath.

Smellyann said...

I would pick the coffee with no interruptions! Thanks!

Sheila said...

I'm always taking my kids with me to Starbucks! I've got them hooked on their chocolate milk, so I guess a bath by myself would be quieter! But with your card we could all get what we wanted without mama saying "not today!"

Angela said...

Yummm I can taste the chai latte as I write this... actually I could take a warm fizzy bath with the chai latte! HEAVEN! :)

Anonymous said...

I would take the bath! My 12 month old takes a bath with me every night. My bath is always filled with boats and rubber duckies that end up in places where rubber duckies just shouldn't go. Fins2thrite at aol dot com

Sahm Lee said...

That's a hard choice. I would have to go with my bath. It's the only chance that I get to read in peace.

Anonymous said...

Definitely a uninterrupted cup of coffee. I am forever picking up a cup of cold coffee and it's just sad.

Sarah Rose said...

Do I really have to choose? I mean, my idea of the perfect evening is taking a bubble bath, no interruptions, along with a cup of coffee...and the thought of all that makes me want to go do that right now!

Jennifer/The Word Cellar said...

Hmm... I think I'd choose the cup of coffee. I almost bought that mug at Starbucks the other day, but didn't. Maybe I'm destined to win. :)

kevnjacks said...

Definitely uniterrupted tea - I can make the pot last a long time and I don't have to worry about getting pruney. ;)

Michelle said...

Ummm...During the day ~ the coffee.
After 7 pm ~ the bath. If I drank coffee after 7pm my nursing infant would have such a buzz that neither of us would sleep! Thanks!

noreen said...

the bath, I can get enough peace for a cup of coffee but take a bath and they come a runnin'

megan said...

no question...bath for me!!

Trina and Jophie said...

Hot cup of tea for sure!

Count me in!

Trina

Amico Dio said...

Can't I have the coffee while I am in my bath? What's a girl to do?

Thanks for the great contest!

A family of boys said...

As much as I absolutely love nice hot baths, I'm going to have to go for a nice loooooon cuppa!

Meagan said...

A hot bath all the way...you'd have more time with a hot bath!

Shell said...

I love both but I'd take a nice warm bath with a book any day. Thanks

Anonymous said...

I would choose the bath. But to me, no bath is complete without a cup of tea or coffee :)

oohsarajean@yahoo.com

Mosaica said...

Most definitely the bath. I don't have a bathtub where I live now (the horror!) so I visit my best pal and use her bathtub every few weeks or so. Oh joy Lush bath bombs!

Unknown said...

A bath! Especially with a bath bomb. They are one of the best things ever.

Cherie said...

A nice relaxing bath WITHOUT INTERUPTIONS! AHH. Thanks!

Nicole said...

Ooh! Tough one....really almost a toss up, and honestly it would depend on the bathtub.....mine??? Coffee in a heartbeat....a nice roomy jetted tub?? Bath hands down!

Anonymous said...

The coffee, definitely the coffee. I love flavored coffees, and we just got a real Starbucks in front of the mall where I like to shop when I have the time. It is our first "real" Starbucks, and I have not had the time or extra cash to try it out yet!

Anonymous said...

a nice hot cup of coffee (or tea) with no interruptions

joanne117 said...

Definitely a cup of coffee with some knitting in my lap. Starbucks is such a rare treat for me these days. Thanks!

Missy said...

what a great giveaway!

thanks,
missy

Erin said...

Bath for sure. I love my coffee, but it doesn't bother me to chase the kidlets around while drinking it.

Emily said...

great giveaway! thanks so much!

Beth said...

Tea, with a dark chocolate bar, and a good book...but I'd take a nice hot shower first. :) What a great idea for a giveaway! Count me in!

Laura Marchant said...

Katelyn Thomas said...

That's a hard choice, but I guess the tea and quiet.

M the Mommy said...

For me it is the bath. The last bath I had I was pregnant, so it has been far too long. Please count me in and thanks for this great giveaway.

Shana said...

What a wonderful giveaway. Please count me in and thanks for giving us the chance to win. :o) sis0321{at}hotmail{dot}com

I would love to do just about anything with out interruptions...lol!!! I have three boys (8-5-2) and that doesn't happen very often. But I love a good Mocha Cap. :o)

Anonymous said...

I would definitely take a hot steaming cup of coffee uninterrupted. That usually gets me relaxed.

Maggie Smith said...

The only thing I like more than a nice hot cup of coffee is a quiet, bubble bath!! What a giveaway!

THANKS
royaldixie@charter.net

Sara said...

Tough one... but I'm going to say coffee. At least when I am in the bathroom I can lock the door and hope the kids don't pick the lock. With the coffee, I've got no place to hide!

5buntings said...

Baths make me sleepy. With 5 young ones here, I'd choose coffee and quite, what a sweet combo that would be! I've never had Starbucks, so I would like the chance to try them out and treat my dear, hard working husband with a cup also. What a nice package you've put together!
u2randolph@aol.com

Natalie said...

I would have to choose a bath. I never have a moment alone and I would love to just sit back in a warm tub and close my eyes and have no little girls trying to climb in with me. LOL.

Huse Yo Mama said...

The bath, that's for certain!!

Anonymous said...

yippee! I love starbucks! coffee, coffee, coffee! gets me through the day! thanks!

meganpeeples@hotmail.com

kelly said...

I would choose the bath. I love to read and enjoy the bubbles(you gotta have bubbles!).

Amateur de Livre said...

Seriously, I have to choose? I guess I would say coffee because with two little ones I don't get to relax in the bath much...I still enjoy taking them though!

Linda said...

I'll take a chai tea latte, I have little guy who doesn't like mommy locked up in the bathroom taking a bath :)

Stephanie said...

Oh this sounds absolutely perfect. I would choose the bath, I *NEVER* get to even go to the bathroom alone because my girls are everywhere, super secret mom radar. She's having a moment to herself, hurry and get her. EEP.

Anonymous said...

I love both, but I'd choose a bath because I can keep adding hot water making the no interruption time last longer! :)

Thanks for the chance to win! :)

adashofsassitude (at) thesilvas (dot) com

Denise said...

Oh definatly the hot bath!!!

Anne said...

Definitely a hot cup of coffee with no interruptions considering it usually takes me 1/2 a day to finish one cup due to putting my coffeecup down and being intererruped. :-)

Jon and Sarah said...

I would definitely pick the hot bath.

Minty Fresh said...

Awesome giveaway! Count me in!

Unknown said...

coffee is the beverage of the Gods:) evilash_26@hotmail.com

Charlotte in Pa said...

Don't forget about us guys! Great giveaway. I'd like to participate.

Give me a hot cup of coffee and I'm happy.

twiga92 said...

The bath sounds really nice, but I would have to go with the coffee. I am a total coffee (and Starbucks) addict!

Kate said...

Depends on the time of day. End of the day - definitely the bath. Beginning of the day... I NEED that cup o' joe!

GoughRMAK said...

Defintely the bath! However, I often do the bath and tea.

Crystal said...

I'd definitely choose the tea. :) Cute mug!

Jackie said...

I would definitely choose the bath!

Tanya said...

The bath, although either one sounds like heaven today!

Anonymous said...

I would pick the bath. I love the coffee cup! tcmcgarvey at hotmail dot com

Jessie said...

I'd have to say the tea - a bath isn't fun for me (I know I am weird)

Thanks for a great contest!

Jessica Morris said...

How generous - I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Lush products!!! I hope I win!!

Normally I would choose an uninterrupted bath, but I am in a high risk pregnancy right now and I'm not suppose to take baths, so a hot cup of tea will be my pick by default!!

I have linked to your contest!

Rach said...

coffee!
Count me in!

Mer said...

Definitely a bath! Hot water, lots and lots of scented bubbles, soothing music, candles, and a good book: life is almost perfect. It would be perfect if I had a cup of tea, but since you're making me choose...

Ananga-manjari said...

For me it's a white hot chocolate not coffee, as I don't consume caffeine, but I love my WHC at Starbucks.

Donna said...

Now normally, I might pick the coffee, but as I have been suffering from morning sickness lately and have a total aversion to coffee, I'd have to pick the bath! Actually, I'd love to go take one right now.

JewelsHud said...

I would say BOTH . . . I'm a greedy girl!!

Amber said...

Both would be much appreciated, but I could use a nice, soothing, uninterrupted bath the most. Thanks for the giveaway & please enter me!

Liz H. said...

I would love a good cup of coffee with no interruptions!

Cindy said...

I'd choose the coffee with no interruptions. But I'd really like the coffee while taking a bath. ;-)

Smiley Riley said...

Since I only have a standard bath tub and I'm 5'10" (I don't fit well to relax) I will totally go for a cup of coffee (and a good book) sitting on the patio on a cool morning with no interuptions...ahhhhhhhh

Petra said...

the bath! (with a cup of hot tea?) :)

Lisa Garner said...

I hope you are feeling a little better.
I would choose the uninterrupted bath time because a hot bath with great smelling bath products always helps me destress. Thanks for the great giveaway!

Anonymous said...

LUSH! Yay!
punkrckpixie@aol.com

Greta said...

How about a relaxing bath WITH a cup of coffee? perfect

Betty C said...

I have to have my daily soak in the tub and coffee is my drink of choice so having to choose between them is too hard.
I agree an uninterrupted bath with a cup of coffee beside me.

FALANA said...

My son and his wonderful wife presented me with a beautiful new grandbaby girl on New Year's Day, so I'd probably watch little Kate while her mom soaks in a nice hot tub while drinking her favorite yummy coffee drink.

Anonymous said...

i'd go for the coffee. there is no way i will ever get a chance to havea bath without one of my kids coming in and screaming. it just won't happen. not even in my dreams :(

I'd like a cup of coffee with whatever book I am currently reading.

White chocolate mocha--although since I am now pregnant decaf

I love both coffee and baths as I have one of those jacuzzi tubs. I drink coffee more than take baths so I would choose coffee! I have bookmarked your site and love the devotion to coffee and spirituality! My email is in my blogger profile.

selah said...

This is a fantastic giveaway - I love that mug! I would definitely choose coffee!

Heather said...

I have four children so either of those choices would be a miracle :-) but if I had to choose I would go with hot tea and spend my quiet time reading blogs without interruption!

Tanya said...

I would have to choose a bath - it's been years since I've been able to enjoy one to myself.

Anonymous said...

Two of my guilty pleasures that I don't get to enjoy as often. Since I can lock myself in the bathroom if need be, I would pick the coffee without interuptions.

Thanks for the chance to win

My middle name is "Starbucks" so definately it would be the cup of coffee without interruptions

The coffee, no question. I rarely have long soaks anymore (opting instead for showers, due to bad knees) but a great mug of coffee and time to sit in peace? That's a blessing in itself.

jenarow said...

Most definately coffee uninterrupted! I haven't had that in ten years!

Wow! These are a couple of my favorite things too! I'd love a chance at winning!

Is it possible to have a great cup of tea while taking a long bubble bath?

I must confess that I will always pick a good steaming cup of coffee over a bath any day....but I am not a bath person. (I AM a coffee fiend though!)
Great giveaway--thanks! P.S. I love your blog look.....so great!

ali said...

Hmm, I can't do the coffee since I am pregnant with my surrogate son. So I'd pick the bath.. and not interrupted? Those exist? My five y/o's and three y/o would have to be OUT of the house for that to happen, lol.
