Something smells good in here (Giveaway)

If you walked into my house anytime between a few weeks before Christmas and now, you might have thought that I was baking up a delicious storm. You would have been wrong.

What I was doing was enjoying the scent of Cozy Vanilla Sugar, part of the Holiday Collection sent to me by the smell-good folks at Febreze.

When Febreze first came out, Mike and I regarded it as a way to get the smell out of places where the dog had sat too long or where a naked-bottomed toddler had learned the hard way while potty training. It was an odor neutralizer. Not having a dog or toddler around for a while, I'd kind of gotten disconnected from the brand.

Then, after I'd responded to a giveaway offer in an e-mail (I do have two stinky boys), the Febreze Holiday Collection arrived on my doorstep and I was plenty surprised.

Febreze Holiday CollectionThis is what I received:
  • a Vanilla Sugar Febreze candle
  • a can of Vanilla Sugar Febreze Air Effects Spray
  • a Vanilla Sugar Febreze NOTICEables® wall plug-in
  • a two-pack of NOTICEables® re-fills
My favorite was the NOTICEables® plug-in. I put one downstairs in the guest bathroom. The scent was so welcoming. There is a switch on the back of the plug in that allows you to control the rate of the scent release. When set to "high", you could smell Vanilla Sugar as soon as you walked in the front door. The low setting contained the scent mostly to the bathroom. Either way, the smell was soft and natural, which is a good thing if you ask me.

Annie quickly absconded with the other one for her bedroom. She is a scentaholic -- and I was happier to let her have the plug-in than the candle, which I put on the kitchen windowsill.

Here is what Annie thinks of the Febreze NOTICEables® plug-in:


 
Speaking of magic -- that's one of the six scents in the Febreze Holiday Collection:
  • Apple Spice & Delight: The warming scent of fresh-baked apples coated with sweet cinnamon (available only online) 
  • Cozy Vanilla Sugar: Sweet as notes of vanilla that comfort you like a cocoon of blankets
  • Cranberries and Frost: Rich as ripe cranberries and frost on a white winter’s day
  • Glistening Alpine: As soothing as a tree-lined mountainside glistening with the scent of pine
  • Winter Magic & Glow: Crisp as sunshine-lit icicles in fresh, frosty air 
  • Holiday Bloom & Cheer: As cheerful as a chorus of holiday aromas blended with winter blossoms
I think the Winter Magic and the Cranberries and Frost especially would carry right through the Valentine Season.

The Giveaway

Not only did Febreze give me a gift pack of yummy-smelling stuff (and information about the product), they want you to have one too. One lucky 4th Frog reader will receive a gift pack that includes a $10 Febreze coupon booklet and a $15 Visa gift card! If you use those coupons and watch the sales, you can snag a bunch of Febreze items with the Visa gift card.

I'm going to keep this one simple.

To enter, leave a comment with the scent you would choose if you are the big winner. For an extra entry, like The 4th Frog Blog on Facebook and leave a comment below letting me know you did (or that you already do). The winner will be drawn at 9pm, Wednesday, January 9. The prize pack will be sent directly from Febreze to the lucky winner.

Thanks to Febreze for this smellarific opportunity. I can't wait to see what springtime scents are available! You can keep up with Febreze on Facebook or on Twitter, too.

Hi, Amy... I would choose Winter Magic & Glow -- because it's going to take some pretty awesome Winter Magic to cut through the air in a bedroom with three tween/teen boys, stinky shoes, sweaty sports equipment and the occasional sour attitude. :)

Tiffany said...

I'd like to try winter magic and glow.
