I bet you were just wondering what some of my favorite things are.
Okay, I will tell you, don't yell.
Summer.
Family and friends.
Road trips.
Bella the wonderdog.
I'd give these all to you if I could
{bottle em up or something}
But I can't.
I can, however, let you win some of my other fave things
{more tangible and easier to box and ship}
That's right folks
It's Gabby's Fave Things Giveaway
because you're awesome
What can you win?
*J.R. Watkins Aloe & Green Tea Natural Liquid Hand Soap - love the packaging, love the fact that it contains only completely natural, environmentally friendly ingredients from renewable resources. This company is devoted to leaving the smallest environmental footprint possible...and the stuff smells bomb. {Delectable Swank said she thought this bottle was alcohol at first...made me almost fall off my chair I was laughing so much. I do like a cocktail.}
*Essie Punchy Pink matte nail polish - Neon is in, right, fashionistas? I am in love with my highlighter pink toes {seen here}.
*Lipton Cold Brew tea bags - I am an iced tea loverrr and these are the best things ever. You don't have to boil water, you just let it do it's magic and ....perfection.
*Goody Ouchless black headbands - headbands are everywhere, and while I adore the fancy schmancy ones, these simple black ones look so perfect! I can pull my hair into a messy bun and then add a headband, and it actually looks like I did something to my hair. Love it.
*Orbit Strawberry Mint gum - fresh breath, definitely a favorite thing.
*Nutella - Hello lover. My current fave dessert is a Nutella, peanut butter, and banana panini. Or just a spoonful of Nutella. (let's not lie).
I am most excited about this last item.
*Bel Canto by Ann Patchett - I am a big reader, and while it's a little hard to only have one fave book, if {lightly} pressed, this would be it. It is such a beautiful story that has left such an impression on me. {I cry at the end, fyi}. I will be so happy to pass this great book on to someone else!
So how can you win?
1. Be a follower, as this is a thank you!
{I wish I could invite you all to a cocktail party, really!}
2. Leave a comment here...tell me anything you want!
3. That's it!
I'll randomly pick a winner on Wednesday, August 12!

I am loving the Essie nail polish! Looks sooo cute on tan toes... I'm a follower too, you're blog is too cute!
I love it! When I first looked at the picture and saw the liquid hand soap I thought it was a bottle of alcohol before I saw the pump on the top, LOL. I was like, "SHE'S GIVING US ALCOHOL??" Aaaah, I guess you can tell where my mind is...

gabby this is the best giveaway ever since it's from the heart love it!! belive it or not but I'm one of those very few people that don't like nutella..and here it's everywhere!!
How fun, your giveaways are the best!
I'm blogging tomorrow about what I purchased with the Sephora Giveaway I won. Check it out! And thank you again!!!
Perfect giveaway! I have to be honest, I've never tried nutella (I feel like a loser!) and mow I am intrigued! Hmm...thinking of picking some up at Ralph's tomorrow a.m.! Do you put it on toast like PB & J?!
Hi! First comment on your blog ever, yay! I had to let you know that I have spent the best part of this week reading your blog from start to finish - and it has been fabulous! Thanks for all the laughs, and please don't tell my boss ;-)
And on a totally random note - I love nutella. I have an unhealthy obsession with it. I may or may not have eaten a family sized at my desk yesterday.
Awesome giveaway!
I'm such an iced tea lover too. I drink it ALL THE TIME!
i LOVE headbands and i have been searching high and low for the right highlighter pink nail polish for my piggies. would you recommend this one?
and i LOVE that you're doing this. you're amazing!
Your hair did look really cute in a headband the other nite! And I love J.R Watkins stuff, my favorite is their lemon cream hand repair moisturizer. Smells soo yummy! But Target doesn't seem to carry it anymore. Where do you buy ur hand soap?
What a fun giveaway!
I love Essie Polish and Nutella. Yum
LOL, I TOTALLY thought that was alcohol but I don't drink and I'm such a germaphobe so this works out much better!
Orbit Strawberry Mint gum? I am so intrigued! Not sure I've ever seen this in Canada. And I don't know if you have these over there but have you tried the Nutella snack packs that come with the little pretzels??? One side is filled with Nutella and the other is a handful of pretzels for you to dip into the Nutella. Soooo good! I keep some in the car, LOL sometimes even have a pack in my purse...best snack on the go, ever!
Already following :)
we have a LOT of similar favorite things, ive never used the soap, and ive never had nutella, but everything else--spot on! and your toes DID look cute! lol
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett...YES YES
on another note... i was telling husband about your gourmet pigs in blanket from your party and he is now asking for them every hour...LOL please send receipe
xoxo
i'm a new follower!!!! :)
LOL- I saw that photo and thought it was a bottle of booze. :DDDD Not handsoap.
But I'll enter anyway. I'm a follower. And I love Nutella. That's my favorite food group, next to carbs. :DDDD
I totally thought that was a liquor bottle at first too and then I was like, well, hell, if I did a Kellie's favorites giveaway there would have to be some kind of liquor in it b/c everyone knows I'm a drunk. (We decided to stop calling ourselves alcoholics b/c they are quitters). Do I have a problem??? :)
Yay! Love your blog!
And of course, I'm totally a follower!
Oh yay ! I too thought this was alcohol for a second there :P
Still, I won't hold it against you .. lol. I love everything about this giveaway, it's simple yet it satisfies every desire.
A little sugar, a little fashion, a little glamour, a little intellect.. it's perfect !
Love the headbands, so easy to do, yet so chic !
Count me in, pretty please.
oooh!! well, I love everything on this list and not least of all Bel Canto. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. Of course I cried too...I always cry but I just loved the story. everything else is fabulous...
xo
I love Essie nailpolishes! I hope I win!!
What a sweet giveaway!! (And when I first saw the picture with all those goodies, I thought it was alcohol too.)
Bel Canto has been on my list to read since late last year, but have yet to do so. Hope I win!

I haven't had Nutella since I was 11 yrs old...I dunno why I haven't it's like my favorite thing in the world =/
P.S. I also thought the soap bottle was alcohol, I was like is that even legal to give away LOL
Can't lie, I thought the soap was alcohol too. Sigh...soap is even better!
Or is it? Ha!
Either way, Gabby rocks for many reasons. But this giveaway certainly doesn't hurt! <3
I keep hearing good things about Nutella, but have yet to try it. Same thing with Harry Potter, Twilight, keg stands and voting Republican.
LOVE the nail polish. I so wish I could come to a cocktail party with you and your sis!
i'll take the book, or the soap, or a BRAND NEW HOUSE! with butler, maid, chef and pool boy, of course.
Did you know karoke means "empty orchestra" in Japanese?
Now what do I win.

what an adorably fun giveaway! love it!
Hi Gabby! I'm new to your blog but just became a follower. I found you off of Liz's blog. :) Great giveaway--I especially like the nail polish!
I'm a book nerd....I'm entering for the book! ;D
Just wanted to say HI, I am a new follower to your blog but think it is really fun so far. I found you through Unbeweavable.
I absolutely LOVE your sister's blog, and I'm loving yours too so much...anyone who puts Nutella on a giveaway is good in my book! (I swear by toast with Nutella and banana for breakfast every morning, yummm!). And that nail polish is gorgeous! :)
Enjoy your weekend!
Your favorite things are awesome, lady!
I'm glad to find someone else that's as big of a fan as I am of Lipton's Cold Brew Tea. Occasionally, in a moment of panic, I'll buy several boxes cause I'm so scared that they're gonna stop making it!
I've been trying to get on board with this neon trend and that polish just may be the catalyst. It's hard for me not to think of 1987 when I see all this crazy neon. ;)
Thanks for the giveaway, sweets!
Ooh...can I be entered please? :)
xx
Oh, nutella... sweet, sweet nutella... :)
Hi, btw! I'm new here :) Been a follower of your twis sis' blog for a bit, thought I'd jump on the twin train and add yours to the list - all aboard! :)

I have to admit I thought that was alcohol at first too, and that says a lot because Im a fan of the Watkins products and that packaging so I know it well and I STILL thought it was alcohol but its because you said FAVORITE things and well I just assumed you'd have some wine or something in that pic, I mean really...wine a good book so neon toes... really does it get any better? I think not!
