A Few of My Favorite Things – March Giveaway

It’s possible you’ll sense a theme with this month’s Favorite Things Giveaway. Thought it was fitting given all the 4-leaf clover, Kiss Me I’m Irish talk this month.  Ireland has been one of my very favorite places to travel, so it should come as no surprise that I love all things Irish. Even though not every item in this month’s giveaway has Irish roots, if you win this prize pack, I suspect you’ll be longing to board a plane to the Emerald Isle!

1. Waking Ned Devine – Irish humor is a lot like classic British humor, and you know I’m a sucker for a good British comedy. I can’t even count how many times The Girl and I have watched this movie, but we laugh every time. It’s awesome.

2. Bob’s Red Mill Irish Soda Bread Mix – If you are a rookie baker {or even a super experienced baker} and want to make some killer Irish Soda Bread, this is the mix to use. Holy cats it makes some good bread.

3. McCann’s Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal – What is Irish oatmeal you ask? Well it’s just another name for steel cut oats. I love Irish oatmeal because it’s a chewier oatmeal, and I like that better than a porridge-type like a Scottish oatmeal. Plus, Irish oats absorb the flavor of whatever you mix in it. So I’ll add peanut butter or bananas or even some jam. It’s great because it’s a super healthy meal, but it’s super tasty too.

4. Gaelic Storm Bring Yer Wellies – I was hooked on Gaelic Storm when I saw them live and they performed “Me & the Moon” {which is track 2 on this album}. It was amazing! I went right out and bought their album and haven’t stopped listening to it since. I think this album might make you an Irish music convert!

5. Garden Wisdom and Know-How – I love this book because it pretty much covers every aspect of gardening. It includes everything you need to know from soil and fertilizers, to growing flowers and vegetables. It’s a lot of info, but she uses a lot of examples and keeps it simple and easy to follow.

6. Set of 5 Natural Home Produce Bags – Since I’m always using reusable grocery bags at the store, it just makes sense to use reusable produce bags too! These come in 5 different handy sizes and can easily be tossed in the washing machine with your towels to clean. Now I don’t leave home without ’em.

7. Instant Irish Accent Gum – If ever there was the perfect White Elephant gift, this is it.

8. Twinings Decaffeinated Irish Breakfast Tea – Because the Irish are some of the most frequent tea drinkers in the world, I had to include tea in my little Irish favorite things giveaway. Yet another reason I love the Irish.

9. Womanswork Garden Glove with Arm Saver – Not only are these gloves awesome to have in the garden, they’re totally stylish too. So your arms will be protected from scratchy thorns and plants while you garden, and you’ll be a trendsetter at the same time. Classy.

10. The Beautiful Edible Garden– Since I think gardens are some of the most gorgeous spaces on earth, I’m in love with a book that takes that theory to the next level and shows you how to do it in your very own backyard. You’ll have total garden envy once you see all the amazing pictures they include as examples.

11. ColorBlends Playing Cards– Now I’m not saying staring at the pretty pictures of flowers on the back of these playing cards will give you a better poker face, but I’m not saying it won’t either…

12. YumEarth Organic Pops – It’s a lollipop without the sugary guilt. Why have doctor’s offices not caught on to these tasty little pops yet? DumDum are so 2013.

13. Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Chia Seeds, 8-Ounce – The easiest little superfood to incorporate into your diet. Toss them in smoothies, oatmeal, granola, cereal or yogurt. I suspect if Popeye would have known about these, he would have ditched canned spinach long ago. Yum!

14. Paas Easter Egg Decorating Kit– I always keep a few of these in my pantry to have on hand for any emergency late-night egg dying session The Girl and her friends might have. Now I’m sharing the colorful love.

15. Animal,Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life– For one year, the author’s family vowed they’d only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. This book is all about that year and it is totally fascinating. It was like a thrilling page turner, but it was about food! Okay, so it’s about so much more than food, and I loved it so much I couldn’t put it down.

    I followed you on Facebook (as well as email!). I would most love the Irish Breakfast tea. I’m facing surgery soon and needed to give up all caffeine, even in my favorite and utterly necessary tea. Irish Breakfast is one of the few that is a good replacement! I also LOVE Irish cut oatmeal!
    Thank you so much,
    Lori Bates

  197. I would love to win any one of these items, but I could really get a lot of use out of The Beautiful Edible Garden, so that’s what I would choose. I’m a beginner when it comes to gardening and that book looks really good. 🙂

  200. I like you on facebook! And I think on Pinterest! And maybe Instagram. I do not twitter…

  212. I love the reusable produce bags — great idea! Can’t wait to see “Waking Ned Devine” as well!

  214. Garden wisdom and know how would be great !! I am a newbie at gardening. I could use all the help I can get!

  236. All of it looks great, but I would love the Garden Wisdom Know how book the most. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

  237. Great give-away package! I think I’m most excited about the Natural Home Produce bags – have been meaning to get some of these to reduce the amount of plastic coming into the house.

  250. Hey! I’d love it all but especially like the reusable produce bags and instant Irish accent gum 😀

  255. I’m most excited about the Irish oatmeal. I’ve never tried that brand, but I’d love to!

  262. The Beautiful Edible Garden for sure! Although I would totally love everything on this list.

  264. I commented on the “What is your secret tip for getting wrinkles out of clothing without having to pull out the iron?” post.

  266. I could really use those gloves for picking zucchini and squash. Their prickles irritate my arms. I also follow on Facebook.

  286. Oh my, another “how do you choose your favorite give a way”. This basket makes me dream of Ireland, a place I hope to one day visit. Those garden gloves would be a God send. Thanks Mavis for another wonderful opportunity.
    Karen

  287. I commented on the “how do you get wrinkles out of clothes?” post on Facebook.

  291. The womanswork garden gloves because… I’m a woman. I work in the garden. My gloves are worn out… and these are so much prettier than the ones I have!

  292. I think the Beautiful Edible Garden books looks great. I want to have a garden and landscaping that is pretty but also practical 🙂

  293. Hard to choose between the produce bags and Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. I can reread what might be one of the funniest chapters of a book I have ever read–the reproducing turkeys. I adore Gaelic Storm! I have seen them more times that I can count and will see them again when they come to my neck of the woods. They make me feel so ridiculously happy.

  297. i would totally LOVE the natural home PRODUCE BAGS!
    super cool idea – and i use fabric bags always

    thanks for the opportunity

    su 🙂

  301. I would love the beautiful garden book! But I wish I would’ve had the gloves when I pruned my knock-out roses : )

  303. If I had to pick one, it would be the book. Any of the prizes would be wonderful, though! I commented on your wrinkle free ice cubes tip. 😉

  305. My favorite item out of this giveaway would be the set of 5 Natural Home Produce Bags. These would be so handy to have since we produce shop every week.

  314. I am just excited to be able to enter from Australia – love it all! Particularly love Animal Vegetable Miracle but who can go past the Irish accent gum.

  315. Animal, vegetable, miracle sounds awesome, but my practical side just ran out of chia! Tough call….I’ll go with the book 🙂

  317. Waking Ned Devine is pretty much the perfect movie. Having said that, the gardening books are making me salivate…

  320. Although I would be really excited to get ALL of the items, I am actually excited for the Irish accent gum. No clue why. 😉

  323. I commented on your post about needing something new to read with the suggestion of a Clive Cussler book.

  324. Would love to get Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I’ve read it already but it’s one that is like to have on my own bookshelf. Thanks!

  331. I sooo love the gloves. And I am all about the tea too. My all time fav is Republic of Tea Irish Breakfast with some milk. Maybe decaf might a nice cross over to limit my caffeine =D

  335. K, I feel like a kid for writing this.. but the lollipops! They are so good that I share when I babysit kids that keep them in stock. (I AM told like every time to help myself to anything though!)

  339. I liked you on Facebook, instagram and pintrest. I just found your site, it’s wonderful! Loving your ideas.

  343. I have heard alot about Ned Devine lately and I have never seen it, so that would be the one thing that I would want mostest of all. Of course everything else is wonderful too!

  352. I would have to go with the gloves as my favorite item. I am always scratching my arms when I garden so they would come in handy!

  356. Most looking forward to the Beautiful Edible Landscapes book. I’ve also been meaning to read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle since it came out a few years ago (sigh!). 😀 I also love me some steel cut oats! Mmmmmm! And I am totally excited about the chance for new tunes! 😀

  357. The oatmeal is a staple around here and I would love to win some to help with the budget:)

  359. It’s a toss up between Ned Devine and Barbara Kingsolver’s book. But, I think it all looks awesome!!

  363. It’s hard to decide! I would say the Animal, Vegtable, Miracle book, since I have to decide! 🙂

  368. I shared and liked you on all the social media. I follow you on all social media too. And I already subscribe to your news letters!

  369. Beautiful edible garden! I adore gardening books 🙂 Though that instant Irish accent gum has soooo much potential!! LOL

  370. I’d be most excited about the Beautiful Garden book! And I LOVE Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; it’s one of my favorite books!

  373. Mavis, this is an awesome prize package, and I would be excited to win just about anything in it. Winning the whole thing? Over the moon excited!

  377. I’m most excited about Animal, Vegetable, Miracle–love that book! I already have it, but I’m excited for more people to read it. I’d really like to hear the Gaelic Storm album, too.

  379. I would be excited over eveything, but I have been looking at “Garden Wisdom and Know-How’ on Amazon for awhile! We also <3 anything from Bob’s Red Mill.. so the Irish Soda Bread Mix would be awesome:}

  380. ..plus I get your newsletter everyday and love it! My daughter has fallen in <3 w/ Lucy Puggle :}

  381. I’d be most thrilled for the garden gloves with the arm savers. They seem great for gardening and petting my moody cat!

  382. Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. That book literally changed our lives! I keep checking out a copy from the library and don’t own it yet. Awesome giveaway!

  383. We follow you on FB, Pinterest, Youtube, & Google +..we obviously like what you have to say ;D

  384. Since i have to pick only one thing, I’ll go with the Set of 5 Natural Home Produce Bags ….. this would be something I would use quite often since I hate produce bags from the store, but when I get them I reuse them for nasty trash like bones from meat,forgotten left overs from the fridge,etc.

  386. I just got married and this spring am trying to start my husband and myself on some home grown goodness! (and as a result hopefully cut back on some grocery bills and pay off my student loans once and for all!!) But I’m in some pretty (“pretty” would be italicized if I had that option) dire need of Garden Wisdom and Know How!

    PS everyone says this but I really mean it – I seriously never win anything. Which would add to the list of reasons of why I would be SO excited!!!!

  387. I commented on “.. don’t have a ton of time to read these days, but I like to try to read for a few minutes before bed. But I’m in desperate need of a new book. What have you read lately that rocked your socks off?”
    I am re-reading Jane Austin novels for bedtime but broke it up w/ “Just Jane” as a new read, and loved it!

  388. Oh, gee, everything looks amazing. The Beautiful Edible Garden book so I can have more ammo to try to convince my DH, again, that our front yard lanscaping redo should be as edible as our backyard. Or the Barbara Kingsolver book which sounds AWESOME!

    Thanks so much for hosting another giveaway!

  389. DEFINATELY the gum!!! I laughed out loud…and who knows…maybe I’ll start speaking in an Irish brogue.

  391. Liked you on facebook, shared your post on facebook, commented on your post about growing your own food with the photos from your backyard garden and subscribed to your daily emailed newsletter! Woohoo!

  392. The Irish Accent Gum!! Or brouge…my Dad was from Ireland, and my daughter just asked my yesterday if Grandpa spoke Gaelic and wondered if we could find a class online. 🙂

  393. Dang woman- you sure know how to do a giveaway! I would love the books as I wanted to read BOTH of them. Happy Spring!
    Jennifer in Iowa

  403. Oh wow it all sounds so wonderful it’s hard to choose only 1 thing-but guess I’ll go for the beautiful edible garden. I am trying to transform my yard into one this year. I follow you on pinterest and suscribe by e-mail.

  405. Garden Wisdom and Know-How! This year I’ll be planting a garden for the first time!

  406. Garden Wisdom and Know-How. I have Country Wisdom and Know-How, and I love it. Such a great reference book.

  407. I would love the gardening gloves. How could you not feel cheery pulling the weeds wearing those?

  408. Womanswork Garden Glove with Arm Saver. My garden gloves are all worn out and I think I’m going to have to get a new pair this year.

  409. Love your daily newsletter. I have a lasagna garden going as well. I would love. Gaelic Storm Bring Yer Wellies CD. Lots of fun stuff though

  410. I would be most excited about the irish breakfast tea! 😉 (although all the items look fabulous!!)

  412. Gaelic Storm sounds interesting and I always love finding new and interesting music.

  415. Just commented on your book recommendation post. I had to limit myself to just 1 and I have so many books that I love to tell people about.

  428. I’d be most excited about The Beautiful Edible Garden. Sounds like an awesome book.

  429. I liked you on facebook, shared your post on facebook, commented on your post about replanting your peas and subscribed to your daily emailed newsletter.

  435. Irish Soda Bread! I wanted some very badly for st. patty’s day and ran over town trying to get some. Everyone was sold out 🙁

  437. I think I would like listening to the Gaelic Storm Bring Yer Wellies the best. But if I won, I could listen to the cd while using my gloves in my beautiful garden. Of course after I eat my Irish Soda Bread and Oatmeal for Breakfast with my Irish Cup O Tea!
    I don’t have all the social media things but I am subscribed to your email.

  438. Animal,Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life would be my favorite part of the whole package. It’s a lifestyle I’m trying to switch over to and reading about how someone else did it would be very inspiring and enlightening.

  440. Chia seeds – I keep reading about them and I would love to be braver and start experimenting!

  442. Narrowing this down is not easy… Some of those are some of my favorites too! But I am going to go with the garden gloves; I am ready to dig into spring! 🙂

  446. My favorite prize is Waking Ned Devine. Because he is hot. And I like his house and boat.

  455. Gaelic Storm for sure. I saw them once when visiting my friends in Madison, WI. Loved the songs Johnny Tarr and Beggarman especially. They were in the movie Titantic — didn’t know that at first. Even if I’m not the winner of the giveaway, I will print this post. My friends Judy and Peggy are huge fans of ALL things Irish. Well, to be fair Peggy IS Irish so it makes sense;) So I could put this lot — the Irishy stuff that is — in a basket as a gift for either of them. Thanks for the idea.

  457. Wow! What an amazing bunch of prizes. I think my fav would be the Irish Soda Bread mix. I love the stuff and I’ve never seen that mix here where I live. Yum!

  460. It’s hard to decide but I’m going to say the gardening gloves..I go through so many of them this time of year.

  462. I was turned on to your site by my niece. I read everything you post. I would l;ove to win the garden wisdom book & the work gloves, then tea so I could relax after a hard (but fulfilling) day of gardening in South Texas.

  463. I would choose the gum because it seems like fun but the oatmeal would be more practical but the gum would win out. Thanks for the opportunity to be a little more Irish.

  465. The beautiful edible garden. Love to read and I already own the other 2 books featured. I also follow you on facebook.

  468. Great prize. Read your site almost daily, and when I can’t I catch up as quickly as possible. This month I lost my father, so I was hoping to be able to get in on one of your giveaways.
