Ho, ho, ho! Time for a little Christmas season giveaway from one of my all-time favorite stores — HomeGoods!
For any of you who aren’t familiar with this store, it’s basically a Marshalls or TJMaxx store’s home section (including gourmet foods!)….on steroids. Aisles upon aisles of awesomeness for your home. My friends and family will tell you I’m a huge fan. Whenever people come to my house and ask about cute dishes, or decor, or my collection of funky pastas…more often than not, you can guess my answer. Love it!
It is also one of my favorite places to buy really great quality gifts at stellar prices. So when HomeGoods and BlogHer asked me to spend my own $50 giftcard on Christmas gifts to show, I jumped at the chance! Without a doubt, wanted to spend it on my newlywed sister and brother-in-law (who is also my rockin’ web designer for the site). They’re both major foodies, so I had a blast shopping for some fun (and very affordable!) new finds for their kitchen!
Read on to see what I found, and scroll to the bottom of the page to enter the $50 HomeGoods giftcard giveaway. Best of luck!
***This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Jeanette for winning! (See below.)***
A little snapshot of the newlyweds
So, I called my sister to check in, thinking I might have to come up with some ideas for them. I should have known better…
Sarah: Hi!
Me: Hey, guess what? I just got a giftcard from HomeGoods in the mail, and they’d like me to buy some fun affordable Christmas presents for someone special.
Sarah: I’m special!
Me: I agree. So what would you like? I don’t know if you’ve ever been there, but they have all sorts of great decor, or stuff for your bathroom. Or there’s tons of stuff for your kitchen — you know, serving dishes, little kitchen gadgets, cool gourmet foods, teas, coff—–
Sarah: [without missing a beat]—–Um, I can tell you exactly what we’d want.
Me: Ok…?
Sarah: Some cute ramekins (something more fun than the plain white from our wedding registry), a tart pan, and a cookie scoop.
Me: Wow, you were ready for that.
Sarah: Mmmmm, yep. Do you think they’d have those.
Me: Definitely.
Sarah: Sweet. Thanks!
The briliant thing is that even after finding each of these items, I still had plenty left on the giftcard! So decided to get them one little surprise they didn’t ask for — one of my favorite cookbooks from Martha. They’re big cookie bakers, so I figured it could go along well with the scoop. :) All in all, the totals came up to: set of ramekins ($9.99), cookie scoop ($8.99), tart pan ($6.99) and cookbook ($15.99). Can’t beat that.
Now it’s a lucky reader’s time to go shopping! Here’s the giveaway info:

***Congrats to Jeanette who is the winner of this giveaway!***
I would buy white serving dishes from Homegoods!
I would love to get a mini Cuisinart and new kitchen scale :)
Oh man, what wouldn’t I get! My husband and I have our first child coming in April and our kitchen is severely understocked. Definitely some new ovenware to start.
I love Home Goods!! They have such cute things at great prices. I’d really love something decorative to hang on my bedroom’s bare walls.
I would totally buy a tart pan with removable bottom, and then maybe some new placemats/tablecloths to take beautiful food photos. :)
I just tweeted about the giveaway (and also followed you on twitter:)!
I would use the gift card to stock my boyfriends kitchen. We like spending time there, but can never cook because he doesn’t have pots and pans, a can opener, or sharp knives. The gift card would solve that.
I would use it to buy Christmas presents for my family! I love Home Goods!
Great giveaway–I really would like a new cheesecake pan!
I’d like to get some tea cup sets.

I would love to buy little tartlet pans! There are SO many fun kitchen things I’m itching to buy but don’t have the money for…
Ummm, new canisters for my flour and sugar. How lame is that?! But I totally need them. And cute ones, too! :)
the gift card would come in handy to round out my kitchen equipment.
they have some great things that come in handy.
Candles. Lots and lots of candles. And desperately needed kitchen supplies.
I’d love to buy some new plates, baking equipment, or food storage containers at Home Goods!
I “need” a mini-muffin pan and a 10″ non-stick skillet!
those tart pans would be awesome, also some cooking utensils or decorative plates!
Would love it to buy some fun and cute Christmas decorations for my new mantel!
I think I would buy some art. They have such lovley things in all their departments. Or towles! My towels are dull. It would be put to good use, fear not.
I’d buy a cheese grater…it’s silly how much I miss having something so small!
I would love to buy a kickass skillet! :)
I need a coffee maker and a bundt cake pan. :)
Oh, LOVE Home Goods… I’d be tempted to stock up on all their kitchen stuff (my favorite), but I’m miles and miles from a Home Goods, so I think I’d have to pass it along as a New Year’s present to my little sister, in her first home as a married lady.
I would love to buy cute toys for my son to play with, they have a great selection of wooden toys!
I would love to win this! I would buy awesome kitchen stuff…for myself!

I would love to get a new rolling pin. Mine is the one that I grew up using in my mom’s daycare, so naturally it is covered with markers! I would probably buy some other food prep items that I don’t know that I need until I see them!
I would love to use this $$$ to buy nice white dishes to show off all the baked goods!
yippy HomeGoods!!! I would have to browse around and see just whats available-see what would catch my eye. More than likely I would end up with some sort of decorative accessory. My kitchen is well appointed, I do not need any bed or bath linens. Maybe i could find some throw pillows or a table lamp. I always love decorative plates to hang. Good luck everyone! good luck ME!!!
I would use the gift card to buy some wall art. We recently moved our living room furniture aroudn and now have an empty wall over our sofa.
My friends just bought a new place and I am helping them fix it up. We could use this for so many things, a mirror for over the fireplace, curtains, rugs, the list is pretty long!
i would get gifts-maybe some pots and pans for my friends who recently bought a house.
I need some wall decorations. I moved a year ago and have almost nothing hanging on my walls!
I would love to purchase some colorful serving dishes!!! What a sweet giveaway!!
I have been drooling over a down-filled featherbed mattress topper at HomeGoods for months now!
I would love to get some gift for my Kids.
Thanks for the chance
I could use if for SEVERAL things as I’m getting married and we have nothing at this point, anything for a kitchen:)
i would love a new rug for my living room
nannypanpan at sbcglobal.net
I’d love some new kitchen knives!
A new rug would be great!
I just tweeted your contest – https://twitter.com/devinekitchen

I love everything there – as a matter of fact, though, they have some WONDERFUL red loaf pans that I am currently craving!
I would buy a silpat baking mat! Love them!
I am shopping for things to decorate the new baby’s room! I’m sure I would find something perfect at HomeGoods.
Wine glasses!
