Good Morning! I’ve been reading your blog for about three weeks now.
I have three things I would buy:
A cookbook called “The 15 Minute Gourmet: Chicken” because 15 minutes is all the time my toddler gives me to cook dinner.
An OMRON digital pedometer because it’s one that looks like it would actually work with my gait.
The book “Woven into the Earth: Textiles from Norse Greenland” because I enjoy historical textile re-creation.

Book I’d like to get w/the gift card would be a children’s book called “Roxaboxen”…based on a true story of some neighborhood children who construct a “town” made out of rocks etc…
on 28 Jan 2008 at 10:07 am 10 Laur said …
I have a whole list of books I would buy, the first being the Jessica Seinfeld book.
on 28 Jan 2008 at 10:09 am 11 carol said …
I know you said not to just say “a book”, but does saying, lots and lots of books count? Pretty please? My wishlist from Amazon is about a mile and a half long, ALL books. I love books!
If I have to choose, I’d say I’d use it on lots of books on prayer.
OR I’d buy “Hungry Planet”, “Material World” and “Women in the Material World.” I check those out from my library so often, they’d probably appreciate my having my own copies.
Does that count? Can I enter now?
on 28 Jan 2008 at 10:09 am 12 dayspringdawning said …
I have a whole list of books!! Mostly G. A. Henty books or others for school. And the Charlotte Mason Companion.

if there was any money left over, i might have to try for a 30 rock dvd, or maybe a battlestar galactica dvd.
it’s awesome of you to offer up something so valuable!
i am offering up stuff that i already owned (but which is mostly unused).
it pales in comparison to what you’ve offered, but you’re more than welcome to stop by and throw your hat in the ring!

on 28 Jan 2008 at 10:37 am 39 Kacie said …
That is so generous! If I win, I would buy myself a book that I’ve been wanting to read for a few months: “Passionate Housewives Desperate for God.” That’s like $10 now. Then, I’d let my husband pick something for his personal enjoyment.
I’d use a portion to buy a wedding present for my husband’s sister.
Finally, with the remaining bit, I’d buy some books on frugality and personal finance that I could read and then give away on my own blog. Gotta keep passin’ it on!
on 28 Jan 2008 at 10:38 am 40 Ashley said …
I would love to be able to buy “The Wind Done Gone” and empty some more off my wish list. And if they have some… I would love to get my first year of homeschooling books!

on 28 Jan 2008 at 10:39 am 45 Thia said …
It would only be a small start, but I would get “The Power of A Praying Parent.” I thought I ordered it with some Christmas money I had, but I accidentally ordered the study guide instead.
Then maybe some blank journals, candles, flavored coffees…yes, this mamma needs some mamma time! Too bad I can’t order a babysitter.
on 28 Jan 2008 at 10:39 am 46 Robin (PENSIEVE) said …

I’d love to buy MS Office for our new MacBook (yes, I joined the cult this weekend) because I didn’t realize that it doesn’t come with any word processor, which is mildly annoying…

Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win.
We need a new carseat for our daughter who is almost too big now for the infant car seat. I am looking at the Evenflo Titan or Triumph. So that’s what I would buy.

I have been wanting to get an ipod. By the way, I love your drawings…do you sell them?
on 28 Jan 2008 at 11:55 am 121 Wanda said …
I have a hard time picking one thing to name that I would buy. My son’s birthday is coming up in a couple months, so I would probably be shopping for him. Anything to do with Dragons.

Oh, what can’t you buy at Amazon?? I would probably spend some of it on A Doll Book, and save most of it to buy presents for my nieces and nephews in Colorado.
on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:03 pm 124 Kristen said …
I have over 200 books in my wish list, but to name one would be Love in the Time of Cholera.

on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:14 pm 131 Awesome Mom said …
Among other things I would get a knitting book titled Two Socks at Once so I can learn to knit (oddly enough) two socks at a time. Or I may splurge and get an entire season of the new Doctor Who. It is a tough choice.
on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:14 pm 132 Andrew said …
I would buy some toys for my fish tank and some aquarium books.
on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:17 pm 133 TCC said …

on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:25 pm 144 Annabelle (Christian Momma) said …
$100 G.C. to Amazon.com! Oh the possibilities!! Since my twin boys are turning 3 on the 16th of Feb…I would probably buy them a couple games like Candy Land & Original Memory. Then, I would have to buy the Disney Pixar Cars Organizer Bins. Of course 2 inflatable guitars since they have been wanting to touch mine. Throw in a Cell phone case for my Blackberry Pearl that I’ll be getting on my birthday (which is a week after my boys’). Then the rest would probably be a variety of different underwear/training underwear…since they will be potty training soon!!
on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:25 pm 145 Qtpies7~ said …
I would love to put it towards a Wii, but they rarely have those in stock there, or anywhere. So I’d probably by a new cover for my dd’s new ipod thingy that goes on the internet. (arent’ I so technical smart?? lol)
on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:26 pm 146 BYOC said …
I would buy those vaccuum seal bags for clothing and such because I am moving and want to make space. Ah, yes, the Space Saver bags!

I would use part of the gift certificate to buy “Breastfeeding as Natural Child-Spacing”.
on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:28 pm 151 Michelle said …
I have a feeling that this contest is going to get a lot of hits! My wishlist at Amazon is over 30 pages long, so I have lots of items to choose from. Specifically though, I would likely purchase the OXO Good Grips garlic press, the 2005 and 2006 editions of Cook’s Country magazine that are pre-bound, and likely a Wii game just for me, like My Word Coach.
on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:30 pm 152 Rachie S. said …
Books…and CDs!!
on 28 Jan 2008 at 12:31 pm 153 peppermint t said …
“Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” by Barbara Kingsolver — I’ve been putting off buying it for myself for almost a year. The rest would go to Disney Fairy books for my daughter, alphabet books for my son, and DVDs for my husband. Although, I might cheat and spend it all on myself — just because I can
