RSS FeedContest: iPod Shuffle for the Best Southern Gift Basket Ideas ...
(Image from the Apple website )
What's that? Another contest? One where you can win an iPod Shuffle?! That's right!
The SW ladies have a fairly epic, relatively secret project up our sleeves. All we can tell you at this point is that we're compiling Southern uh... "gift baskets". Two sets of Southern gift baskets, in fact: one preppy and traditional , and one, shall we say, more along the lines of "dirty South" (ahem).
So what do you need to do to win this contest? Find the BEST possible item for one of our baskets. And then tell us about it!
Who: You
When: Sometime before Tuesday, October 27 at 6:00pm
Why: Because you could win a Shuffle. And they're great for going to the gym and traveling. Obvs.
How: Find a great item for one of our gift baskets. Leave a comment on this post. VERY IMPORTANT: You must copy and paste the link to the item you think we should include! Make sure to specify whether your item is for the traditional + preppy or the dirty South category.
Good luck!
Given different accoutrements, this could easily fit in either basket. Add a bag of porkrinds and flask and it's Dirty South, fit for Foxworthy. But I'd vote for a recipe tag for a Ginger Glow (1 part Firefly, 1 part gingerale, a lemon twist) tied with satin ribbon to the stem of a monogrammed glass. Tres preppy, in the very best sense.A bowtie and belle band from Southern Proper. With choices of prints like "Butterbean Beau", "Cotton Pickin' Beau" and my personal favorite "Just Peachy Beau" ... I mean, it most certainly doesn't get any better than that. A "Sweet Magnolia" or "Cotton Pickin'" Belle band is the choice for the ladies.
You need something pecan for sure! Divinity or pralines, Priester's Pecans here in Alabama (http://www.priesters.com/) make a lot of different varieties of pecan goods. And I keep thinking cotton, maybe a "cotton" scented soap? http://www.countryscents.net/index.php (this site has a goat's milk soap called "cotton pickin" which sounds cute.) A Nehi Peach soda? Some Burt's Bees chapstick (from Durham, NC!) Just some thoughts!
