Happy Hanukkah, 2018! We’re three days into our festival of lights, bookish joy, giveaways, and mayhem.
I look forward to this week all year, and I hope you enjoy it, too.
Ready for today’s giveaway? Seriously, as much fun as it is to build the gift guides and shop for all of you, it is extremely enjoyable to shop handbag stores looking for adorable bags that are low-maintenance, not too heavy to carry, and above all, hold a book (or books) (or ereader) (or ereaders) easily.
So let’s do this!
Today’s prize is:
A kate spade Dawn Place Mini Kona Deep Plum Velvet cross body bag!
Want some specs?
- Lots of carrying options: it has double handles with 4.5″ drop, plus a detachable adjustable strap that can expand to a 21″ drop
- Triple entry top with front and back zip compartments, and a main center compartment with snap closure
- Interior double slide pockets and zipper pocket
- Bag measures 9″ W x 8″ H x 4.5″ D
Want to enter? Yay!
Just leave a comment telling us your favorite purchase this year! Some awesome fluffy socks to keep your toes warm? Did an Instant Pot change your life? Let us know!
Standard disclaimers apply: I am not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18 and ready to lint roll the heck out of this purse if you own pets and/or children. We also won’t judge you if find yourself absently petting your new velvet purse. And romance authors, feel free to steal the euphemism of “petting your purse.”
Comments will close Wednesday 5 December 2018, at or near 12pm ET, and winner will be announced shortly afterward.
Good luck, Happy Hanukkah, and thank you for being part of Smart Bitches!
Winner update: Congratulations to Make Kay! Please check your inbox and spam folders shortly.
We have several days of Hanukkah-palooza giveaways left!
My apple watch, it was an extravagant purchase for me as I’ve been unconvinced by smart watches pr fitness trackers so far, and haven’t even worn a normal watch for 15 years but i totally love it. It tracks my runs, keeps me from picking up my phone constantly to check the time and shows me just how little walking i do on my work days!!
I bought a Nintendo Switch as a present for surviving 2/3 of grad school.
I bought a Nespresso coffee machine and the quality of my morning brew and life has dramatically improved. No regrets!
A new backpack to carry all my work/drawings and samples to meetings and job sites. I put a lot of time into figuring how things would fit 🙂
I would have to say heated front seats for my vehicle. It makes me so warm and comfortable, especially when it’s freezing outside (as it has been for some time now).
My favourite purchase this year is my house : )
It’s nice to be not-renting again!
I recently got really into candles and I have this gorgeous wood-wick candle that is probably my favorite purchase this year…not very useful, but very wonderful!!
