Well I think that we all knew this day was coming sometime this week didn't we? :) It's kind-of a celebratory week after all, and what's a celebration in the blogosphere without a fun giveaway right? I was thinking lately how giveaway's are a bit like the commercials on blogs, don't you think? haha I mean they can feel like a bit of an interruption to what you really want to be reading and you just kind-of sit back and wait till they're over, unless you like what's 'flashing' on the screen and you decide that yes, you really do want P90x! haha or in this case, yes you really DO want this perfect little date night companion that's really a must-have for all your romantic picnics for all the warm months ahead. It's pretty cute wouldn't you say?
If you're anything like me, (and I'm pretty sure we have a lot in common:)) than you spend as much time as possible outside during the warmer months, and that includes date nights! During the winter it's often times trying to get from a restaurant to the bowling alley to the mall as fast as we can to keep out of the wind and snow, but when it's warm our favorite activities are always outdoors (which usually makes them cheaper too!), and the best of all, are picnics.
Quality alone time, quality conversation, yummy food to fit our mood, warm breezes and great views (we live in the west:)), it doesn't get any better than that! So for our couples giveaway during our anniversary week, Martin and I wanted to give away this picnic basket from Richmond House to encourage you to get out more these next few months whether it's with your significant other, your family, or some friends! and if you don't really think it's your thing, it would make a great wedding present at the very least.haha Here's the giveaway:
Thanks for visiting today, and I hope that wherever you are that you're having good weather, whatever that may be to you at this moment! For us in the Idaho desert we're just enjoying the first few warm (65-75 degrees fereinheit) days in a row, and that to me says it's officially Spring. We are all SO happy, despite being very sick.haha The kids have total cabin fever and frankly so do I.
I'll be back tomorrow with another fun addition to this little anniversary week series, and I hope you have a great rest of your week ahead!
xo, Emily

I'm soo looking forward to going to the local vineyard every friday to enjoy the nice weather and some live music!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I've got a picnic basket already, but it's not nearly as cute and can't hold dishes and silverware like this one can. Great find!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet giveaway! I love this anniversary series -- keeping the romance alive is oh so important!

I am looking forward to TRAVEL! and Hiking! I love getting out and about in the summer! :)
ReplyDeletewe live in florida but never seem to get to the beach. we have vowed to change that this year and are looking forward to our first trip in a couple of weeks. this basket would be awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this! -Hanna Lei
ReplyDeleteMy fiance and I have been talking nonstop about not being able to wait for hiking now that the snow is gone and the temps are in the pluses. But we also love going to see drive-in movies during the warmer months, taking all our pillows and making a bed fort in the back of the car. So much fun. We even do it when it's colder too, that's how much we love the drive-in. But my favourite winter date would have to probably be going through the syrup runs that are in our area, having hot pancakes and fresh maple syrup on banks of snow.
ReplyDeleteI love in the suburbs of Houston, so the summers here are pretty brutal! However, despite the yucky, humid heat, I'm looking forward to the warm nights!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to beach days!
ReplyDeleteThe basket it gorgeous! I love it when all the flowers start blooming and you can see all the animals starting to enjoy coming out of hibernation from the cold winters we have in MI :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I love picnics. And naps in hammocks. Sweet summer take me away!

This summer I am excited about finishing my degree than being able to be the spouse I want to be to my man. I look forward to dates outside. We love to take my truck up in the hills and watch the sunset than finish off with cuddles and star gazing in the truck bed. This basket would just be perfect for those nights!

ReplyDeleteThis would be the perfect addition for a date night in the beautiful spring weather. Albeit, we are back to cold and windy today. :(
ReplyDeleteWarm weather means hubby and I will be enjoying some fresh air and fishing <3

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hang laundry up on the line! I normally hate laundry, but something about hanging it out on the line is so relaxing. And the fresh smell! Mmmm....

ReplyDeleteI love picnics but we've been using a picnic basket an ex-boyfriends mother got for me. It's darling, but I want to get rid of it and get something that is ours, so I'm crossing my fingers here :)
ReplyDeleteBonfires! S'mores and all :)
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to get a cute picnic set! I'm so excited for summer. We are going to visit our families (we are military so don't get to see them often), we are purchasing our first home, and we are having baby number three in August. Baby number 3 is our first boy. My Hubby and I's anniversary is this month too. Lots of fun and change coming our way. Hoping to get a little romantic time in for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing all the things my daughter tried last year when she was only 9 months old. Now that she's 17 months old, the zoo, park, waterpark, swimming will be a much more fun experience!
ReplyDeleteWe are having a baby at the end of this summer so a nice picnic basket would be a budget friendly date before the little bean comes :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT IDEA! Love it :) -Alexandra

ReplyDeleteI'm honest to goodness just ready to drink up some vitamin D. Been inside for so long in these cold months, that I just want my body to become reqauinted with the sun. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite outings are picnics, too! Or for a little twist, go somewhere that's BYOF-bring your own food. There's a brewery here in Chicago that has this option and it's a blast to take your own stuff and enjoy their beers.
ReplyDeleteI've literally been talking about a picnic with my roommates for the past month. this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to walks by the river in the evenings with my husband. It has still been too cold to enjoy lately. Maybe we could have a picnic dinner by the river too!! :)
ReplyDeleteDue to family illness, my husband & I have been apart for many months now. When we reunite this summer, it would be so nice to do it outside, over this adorable picnic basket, basking in the sun. I've never been much of a winter person myself.
