just because gifts giveaway

Giveaway #9



Melanie Smith of Just Because Gifts must be one of those incredible moms who is always taking care of everyone around her. Check out these yummy care packages--who wouldn't like to get one of these?


Maybe you're one of those people who thinks about doing nice things like this for people, but you don't have the time to follow through (yes, I'm talking about myself here). Just Because Gifts sends care packages to your loved ones for you, and they're even wrapped in your choice of colored tissue paper. Each care package includes granola bars, chips, candy and other goodies for a late night study session, a taste of home, or "Just Because!" Once you've selected your gift basket, you can select "add-ons" for an even more personal touch.



I'm thinking this would make a great Father's Day gift! I know my dad and husband always appreciate treats. You could win the "Family Movie Pack" to send to a special someone, or have it sent to yourself! The Family Movie Pack includes: 4 8oz. cans of soda, 3 movie sized boxes of candy, 4 candy bars/bags of candy, 2 bags microwaveable popcorn, and a $5 Blockbuster gift card. Just visit Just Because Gifts and leave us a comment telling us what care package you'd like to send, and who you'd send it to, for a chance to win this sweet package! Entries must be received by Saturday, May 30 at 11:59pm to be eligible.

Melanie also offers personal part planning services for childrens parties and photography. She must be one organized woman! Check out her other services while you're over there!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Classic 4 pack - I'd like to send it to my very dear friend Cindy because she's always so willing to send me packages of american goodies to me, who now lives in Europe. It would be payback time. She's such a great friend.

  9. It would be the Service Packs - Tastes of Home, and I'd send it to my son. One family memeber likes sweets the other likes non-sweets, so this would be perfect.

  11. I'd send the movie pack to my friend Shelly. Her husband just deployed for his first tour and as a Chaplain's wife, she's in charge of caring for the families left behind with her on base. She has lots of get-togethers and activities planned for them.

  13. I would choose the family movie pack for my husband. He is an avid movie watcher and even has a blog where he does movie reviews and discussions. He would love it! Thanks.

  14. I would send the Healthy one to my Father-in-law because he is still recovering from major surgery. I would then have to send the Family Fun Night one to my three daughters in FL. One is getting married in July and I think the three of them could use some fun time together before the big day.
    Excellent Idea!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. The Healthy Package! Not because I'm particularly healthy but because the husband (who loves the snacks inside it) often finds the snack room in his office low in his favorite things. It would be so neat to send him a package when he least expects it, to his office! Thank you for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Definitely the Movie Pack. My husbands Birthday is soon and due to a terrible month I just might not be prepared. This package would be great.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I would choose the Family Movie Pack because my parents go to the movies 3-4 times per week. They are trying to cut back and rent movies (you know..the recession) and this would be the perfect kick-off present!

    Thanks!

  51. I like two carepackages, the first I make sugar cookies and ice them up all pretty like and drop them to a friend who is having a hard time. The next one is the movie night. We go stock up on tons of popcorn and candy, but it in a big bowl with a movie and take it to a family that could use some "down" time. I just love giving packages and cheering people up!

    ReplyDelete
  97. What cool "Just Because" gifts! That is a super idea! I'd love to send (and win) the Family Movie Pack including rental to either my parents or my husband. My parents buy tons of dvds or rent them so it looks like a dvd rental store in their house and since they are getting up there in years an at home movie night is a fab idea. I would send it to my hubby because he always wants to go to the movie theater but I won't go with him, so he doesn't go, because it's much too loud there. A movie pack and movie night at home is just the thing for these hard economic times. Great giveaway!
