Wanelo Christmas Giveaway

Warning - Slightly out of character post:

All right I know this is late, but for those who have kept up with Wanelo (WAnt NEed LOve) you probably know about their Christmas giveaway. If you don't you can read about it here. If you haven't signed up with them yet you really should. I put off making my list because I was worried that it wouldn't be good enough, but I think it came out all right in the end haha

I decided to enter and am crossing my fingers that I win. Just to make it a little more fun, I decided to quickly explain why I want each item, so in no particular order here it is with explanations:

  • Mattress Heating Pad: WAnt NEed (Hope to) LOve - It's cold up here in PA and it's terrible climbing into bed just to shiver because the blankets are icy
  • HoneyWell Air Purifier: WAnt NEed (Hope to) LOve - I don't know what it is about this apartment we have, but the dust is impossible to get away from and I'm thinking something like this would help. It doesn't matter how often I clean the dust literally settles immediately, it's terrible!
  • Media Cubbies/Closet Organizers: WAnt NEed (Hope to) LOve - Apartment life with two readers and a toddler who has grandparents that spoil him with small gifts leads to clutter. We recently invested in a few cheap bookshelves but we still need more storage :(
  • Euro-Pro Shark: WAnt (Hope to) LOve - This isn't a need, just a convenience. Right now I clean the floor on my hands and knees with paper towels, which means I only clean it on special occasions lol
  • 100 Years of Magic Treasure Chest: WAnt NEed LOve - This is like a dream come true for my SO and me... we want our son to get more involved with Disney movies and this is the most amazing way to do it. I've found it for $130-300 depending on the site but I don't know if any of them are reputable places to buy from.
  • Other DVD Sets: WAnt LOve - These are classics that every child should experience instead of Spongebob and Ed Edd and Eddy. I really miss the GOOD cartoons of our childhood.
  • ELF Make Up Kit: WAnt NEed - I can honestly say that I have never worn makeup outside of Halloween and stage performances in highschool. I am just too cheap to invest in it. ELF's price tag is right but I wouldn't even know what to buy to start off with!
  • CHI Blow Dryer: WAnt NEed (Hope to) LOve - I've also never owned a blow dryer in my life which makes living in chilly PA really annoying. I have long thick hair so I have to shower hours before I can actually leave the house in order for it to dry.
  • Ginsu Knives and Kitchen Aid pans: WAnt NEed (Hope to) LOve - Being young and on a budget my SO and I bought the cheapest kitchenware we could and a year later it's all warped, peeling and rusting.
  • Flip Mino: WAnt NEed (Hope to) LOve - This thing looks perfect for me since it's small, portable and easy to use. I live 1000 miles away from my family and something like this would be an absolute blessing. I could carry it everywhere since it's so light weight and shoot tons of video of my son for my family back in Texas.
  • Panasonic Camera: WAnt - I have a perfectly good digi already, but I'm always looking to upgrade the pixel count haha
  • Armorhide Desk Set: WAnt LOve - While a planner isn't a must have for a freelancin' mama it does help. This one isn't exactly what I want but it's the closest I could find. I honestly rather have a breast cancer awareness one with a 1 page per day refill, but that set doesn't exist!
  • Sorel Winter boots: WAnt NEed (Hope to) LOve - After that storm that blew through here last week I realized that wearing Converse low tops in 12 inches of snow just doesn't cut it. I need a good pair of winter boots desperately, but I just can't bring myself to invest in them when we have bills and other things to take care of that we really can't live without.
  • Mini chest freezer: WAnt NEed LOve - I used to have one of these but had to leave it in Texas when I moved and I can't stand being without one. I can't afford to get one for myself but I keep dreaming anyways. Until then I have to make due with an undersized freezer that won't let me stock up on cheap meat!

Thanks so much :) Sorry I didn't respond sooner, the holidays kept me busy.

I'm sad to say that I didn't win but I'm really happy for the person that did. They're getting a Wii fit which is absolutely marvelous hehe
