I've been blogging for a little while now, but have never hosted a giveaway. All of the big giveaway carnivals have crept up on me, and I haven't been prepared.
So.
Since I have so much to do between now and when we leave for Florida, and I really shouldn't be spending my time blogging this week anyhow :( (that's not a promise) I have decided to host my first giveaway!
Here it is...
First, I am giving away this antique chocolate pot! I don't know the maker of this piece, but it was used to serve hot chocolate years ago, and is so pretty! I think the history behind chocolate pots is very interesting, you can read about it here.
Also I am including a box of hot chocolate (naturally), a scented oil candle, and a bag of my (current) favorite dark chocolate. (Ghirardelli's Intense Dark 72%, to be exact. One square a day is good for your heart!)
And because I'm thinking of you, I selected the bonus candle package so the winner can enjoy that extra, third candle refill. :)
This little "relaxation package" can be yours! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and tell me what your favorite kind of chocolate is, and I will pick a winner at random in one week from today. So now is the time to come out of lurking and post a comment! It isn't hard really. I promise I won't bite. :) I lurk on other blogs too, and never comment on some. But I really, really want to be your friend, honest. And I promise I will make it as painless as possible. You can just comment something like,
"Hi, I'm Hepzibah. And I like Hershey Kisses."
See. That wasn't hard. :) Now go ahead and post. And I will go ahead and continue cleaning my house and finally pull those suitcases out of the attic. :)
{ The fine print stuff: If you don't have a blog, please be sure to include an email address or some method of contacting you if you are the winner. I ship worldwide. Please be advised that the "rules" are subject to change at any time. And do invite our friends, acquaintances, dog-walkers, babysitters, third-cousins-twice-removed to enter, as well. :) I like people. Now go ahead and comment! }

Hi--I'm Debbie (keeper at home) and my favorite chocolate is...ummm......well anything that's chocoloate. :-) But, if you insist on knowing my very favorite it would have to be Milky Way, or maybe 5th Avenue or Reese's PB Cups, or butterfinger...oh goodness I got carried away...but I just finished some oreo cookies! Chocolate---yummy! :-)
I like Cadbury's or Dove's chocolate. And, of course, chocolate and peanut butter is a perfect match. Unfortunately nobody here in Great Britain has discovered it yet. But what I really like is those fancy boxes of assorted chocolates where there is a yummy surprise in each piece.
A giveaway!!! :)
My favorite chocolate right now is Lindt. I'm not sure what the exact name is for them, but they are the little foil-wrapped balls. You know, yellow wrapper for white chocolate, red for milk, blue for dark, brown for peanut butter. My favorite are the dark ones! Mmm....
You're going to FL?!! Puh-lease stowe me away in your suitcase, LOL! I can even squeeze into your carry-on...very motivator traveler and hater of Pennsylvania winters here!!!!
Put me down for the giveaway, too, mama! My name is Kelly B. and I'm addicted to Symphony bars. :o)
Hi, my name is Kristen, and all chocolate is my favorite, but I'll say Dove dark chocolate and chocolate w/ peanut butter rank top:-)
Hey Abbi... you know me:o). While you prepare to go to FL (can I go with you???), I'll help you out with your trip by entering your giveaway:o).
My absolute favorite chocolate is Resses Peanut Butter Cups. Yum, yum! Enjoy that Florida sun for me!
My name is Katina and I like dark chocolate, escpecially Lindt and Ghirardelli and my all time favorite Premise Maid...mmmm!
What a neat idea!! I love that beautiful pot!!
Hello! I'm Rebecca. I love Reese's PB Cups!
Count me in! I didn't even know there were such things as chocolate pots. :blushing:
Hershey's is the best! I prefer milk chocolate. Peanut butter or peanuts added is even better.
My children LOVE hot chocolate. They start dancing around the kitchen when I start making it. They'd be intrigued with the pretty pot.
hey, I'll enter!!
My name is Missy, and my favorite chocolate is anything dark, the darker the better! Of course, there are also Reese's peanut butter cups, which pretty much tie for first place.
I'm hungry!
Hi, My name is Marilyn and I am a chocolate addict as I have never met a chocolate I didn't like. However, My favorite would be either Ghirardelli or Cadbury. I also have to say I LOVE that antique chocolate pot!!! Thank you for hosting this awesome giveaway!
Hi, I'm Kay :) I LOVE those lindt chocolate balls with the truffles inside of them. They are amazing!
My name is Sara and I am a Chocoholic! My favorites include chocolate covered strawberries, peanut M&Ms, hot chocolate, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, Reece cups...Well, this could go on and on! Thanks for such a yummy giveaway...I liked reading the history on the Chocolate Pot! How neat!
