I love the holiday season. I love spending time with the people that mean the most to me, I love Christmas music, I love finding the perfect gift for someone to show how much you appreciate and love them, I love the twinkling lights and pretty decorations, I love that everyone seems to have an extra bounce in their step this time of year. I’m so excited to host a holiday giveaway again this year! Some of you might remember last year’s holiday giveaway. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to blog here and for all of you who are along for the ride – and want to share some holiday goodness with you!

There are six items I am giving away this holiday season to Polish My Crown readers. Here’s some info on the six gifts and find out how to enter at the bottom of this post!

The brand has the cutest {and comfiest!} underwear, PJs and workout gear. The lovely team over there sent a few goodies to give away.You can find them on Facebook and Twitter too!

2. One Good Deed a Day – A Journal: Chronicle Books is a publishing company based in San Francisco and I found this book/journal online and knew I had to purchase for my holiday giveaway. I actually asked for the journal for Christmas myself! The journal shares good things to do – say thank you to your bus driver, buy flowers for your mom, and encourages you to “check off” when you accomplish the good deed.

3. Curly Girl Design 2013 CalendarThis twelve-month calendar shares adorable artwork and quotes created by artist Leigh Standley. My bedroom is literally covered in Curly Girl Design artwork – I find it inspirational and pretty adorable. More details about Curly Girl Design this blog post!

I hosted a giveaway with Austin-based beauty company Everyday Minerals earlier this year and I’m absolutely obsessed with their eco-friendly, vegan products. I use the blush and eyeshadow everyday! The Everyday Minerals team is giving away one limited edition holiday kit. Find Everyday Minerals on Facebook here!


5. Believe Pillow from Caytee’s Crafts: I first discovered Caytee’s Crafts when I found this queen-inspired pillow on Pinterest. Of course, I immediately purchased. The talented Caytee and Michelle behind Caytee’s Crafts are giving away one 8″ x 15″ pillow – perfect for the holiday season! Check them out on Facebook here and seriously, scroll through their Etsy page!
