Tuesday’s Tribute – Chocolate (Giveaway!)

April 28, 2009 by Elaine


I love chocolate.

Y’all have never heard me say that before, have you? Nah. (masking my “shifty” eyes with a Hershey’s wrapper…)

Believe it or not, things were a little “iffy” there for a while between me and “The Big C” at the beginning of this pregnancy. I did not (I can’t believe I’m about to type this) want it AT. ALL. (I KNOW!!!)

But as I already knew, there is a God, and once my first trimester was over, the sweet nectar of the cocoa bean and I became friends again. Although I mysteriously went from a dark chocolate lover back to a milk chocolate girl. And the Easter candy? Well, it never had a chance!

And now, there’s another holiday coming up in which chocolate makes a wonderful gift (but then isn’t there always?)

See’s Chocolates recently contacted me again and has generously offered one of my lovely readers a $25 gift card to their site just in time for Mother’s Day!

If you’d like to win please visit their site here and tell me what you’d pick out for your Mom or even yourself in a comment below! (you must do this to be entered).

You can gain an extra entry by tweeting this giveaway and leaving me the link to your tweet.

Giveaway closes this Friday night (May 1st) at midnight (CST).

Open to U.S. and Canadian residents.

And please, don’t blame me for all the drooling that you do while visiting their site (wiping drool from chin as we speak…)

P.S. Tuesday’s Tribute is hosted by Angie now. Go over and check it out!

    I like the Small Gold Fancy. You must pick me…please! I love Sees. I only get them for Christmas…and those are LONG gone!

    My grandparents used to send us a box of See’s every Christmas. I love it. I only wish they included a flavor guide. If I win, I am totally ordering a custom chocolate assortment so I know I will like every piece of chocolate in the box.

    Small gold fancy or a box of nuts & chews. Mrs. See’s is my favorite!

  6. angie says

    See’s does giveaways? Oh.my.head. I’ve been a devout See’s consumer for years. It almost killed me to live on the east coast and not have ready access to them. That’s when mail order came in handy. I LOVE their spring time collection box, but for me, really, who cares about the wrapping? I just love the insides. Dark chocolate every time, and nuts and chews are my favorite pre packaged, but I LOVE me a “picked” lb or two. 🙂

    Truffles… oh the truffles! Pick me, pick me!

    Assorted Chocolates for me. I love love See’s candy – I AM drooling. I didn’t even realize that they had a site – so glad I know now, THANK YOU!

    April 28, 2009 at 3:26 pm

    I didn’t like chocolate in the first trimester of any of my pregnancies either.

    Chips, however, were AWESOME.

    But as for what I would pick? Probably a pink or purple box so that I could put it in Miss Emily’s room when I was done 🙂

  12. Emily B says

    April 28, 2009 at 3:37 pm

    I’d pick out a pound of assorted chocolates, and a petite keepsake box! One for me, one for my MIL (my mother gets migraines from chocolate – I am SO GLAD I didn’t inherit that!)

    Yummy yummy springtime truffles is what I would get. I would hide them and lock myself away and eat them when I got stressed. No really my son is allergic, I would have to hide them and make them my guilty pleasure.

    I would go for the pink keepsake box. I would probably have to give it to my mother in law because I would eat them all up too fast!

  37. Deb K says

    April 29, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    I would choose the Ribbon Box for my Mom as she deserves this and more for being such a great Mother!
