I received an email a few weeks ago from CafePress asking me if I would be interested in a review/giveaway for my blog. I said yes, because CafePress has all sorts of awesome bookish stuff on their site and it make me really happy. And, if you don't like the pre-selected images, you can just upload your own! I mentioned something about this earlier (in my blog to read it) and now I am *finally* getting to the actual review and giveaway. This post is a little late in coming, but in my defense I've had a really crazy few weeks and things are just now starting to settle down. So, here is what I received from CafePress. Oh, and I feel I need to give myself a disclaimer — my camera is really old and I am a crappy picture taker. So, the quality is not super great, but it's proof that it's mine!:)
I've wanted a wall clock for my room for a while now, and thought that this one would be perfect. What book lover can't relate to the idea of Read, Read, Read, BUY!:) I haven't hung it on the wall yet, but I have it propped against the wall and I can see it from my reading/blogging area, which is what I was going for. And, a definite bonus — the ticking noise isn't very loud at all.
I love magnets. Everyone should have fun magnets. So, I got these two, which you cannot see, hardly at all. But trust me, they are hysterically funny. The one on the left is a picture of Shakespeare and underneath it says "Prose before Hos" and the magnet on the right is a slightly deranged looking lady carrying a large stack of books with the caption "Crazy Book Lady". Love!
The final thing I received is a thermos/water bottle. I've been looking for a good water bottle for a while now, and haven't been able to find one that I like. There is always something about it I don't love. So, I saw this one online and decided that it looked like something I could definitely go for. And, I love it! Seriously. It's metal and designed to keep your liquids at the temperature you put them inside. It says it lasts up to 12 hours. I haven't tried anything hot in it yet, but it definitely keeps water cold! I put ice cubes in it around 11:00am and there were still solid pieced of ice in it at 6:00pm or thereabouts. My only complaint is that it's a little small. It's only 12oz, but I knew the size before I ordered it, so I can't complain about that. Oh, and the caption? "I like big BOOKS and I cannot lie". How can you not love that?! So awesome!!
