How to Enter the Hobbit Giveaway:
Note: Experiencing difficulties with Rafflecopter – if you don’t see a Rafflecopter box below, please come back. The giveaway will be going on through December 21st. Sorry for the inconvenience!
the flask
Let’s talk about that Hobbit flask. You get a 6 oz stainless steel flask sporting the vivid vintage book cover of The Hobbit; plus care instructions to ensure you can enjoy your flask for a long, long time. Stellar Custom Images‘ designs are coated with a thick epoxy resin that protects against the elements, so you don’t have to worry about your favourite Hobbit flask scratching or peeling. You may forget your pocket-handkerchiefs, but don’t leave behind your Hobbit flask the next time you run out the door on a dragon adventure.
Whether you turn out to be the lucky winner or you choose to buy a flask, you will appreciate the quality and clean simple detailing of Angela’s work. Be sure to check out the other designs she has and note that Angela can create custom flasks as well. Don’t forget to order a sweet flask-sized funnel, too.
the posters
Nicholas Hyde creates original art prints for well-loved films and characters. The vivid colours and simple, creative designs will complement whatever wall they hang on. Nicholas makes all the designs himself and each one is a mixture of inspired-doodling, hand-drawn illustration and computer graphics. One winner will receive two 11×17 posters — one of The Hobbit & one of The Shire.
Check out his Etsy shop — a treasure trove of Christmas gift ideas. Covering fan classics from Disney, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, X-men and more, there’s certainly something for everyone. Right now he’s even offering a special buy one get one free if you like his Facebook page.
the tote
Not all those who wander are lost — technically this quote is from Tolkien’s sequel to The Hobbit, but it’s still fitting for Hobbit week. Can’t you picture Bilbo carrying around just such a tote; filled of course with extra pocket-handkerchiefs, pipe tobacco, and probably some seed cakes in case he had to miss second breakfast. What would you fill your tote with?
Tote is made of 100% natural cotton canvas {10oz.} with a strong bottom gusset and is 15″ square by 4″ deep.
HandmadeandCraft is currently closed for vacation so you can’t shop Kimberly Layton’s creations today, but go check out her blog, Everything Etsy, and say hi.

Just once!
I’ve only read the Hobbit a few times, but Lord of the Rings, too many times to count!
Gandalf is my favorite, but I feel like that was heavily influenced by my Grandpa reading the book to me when I was really young.
how great to hear these stories read by your Grandpa! what a fun memory.
Have read the Hobbit at least twice. Sacrilegious, but I think I preferred the Hobbit over LoTR as a 12 year old. Though the LoTR movies were EPIC, not to mention the soundtrack. So gorgeous.
It’s not sacrilegious – it’s your opinion. :) Have you seen the Hobbit movie (pt 1), yet?
I haven’t read it yet, but I’ve already asked “Santa” for JRR Tolkien’s LOTR books and I know I’ve been good this year. ;)
yay! let me know how you like them after you’ve read them!
I’ve read The Hobbit two or three times now. Either way, it’s awesome every time.
I’ve only read it once, but the new movie has inspired me to revisit Tolkien’s world.
yes! I love how the movies make you want to read the books. That isn’t always the case; but even as good as the movies are (and they are my favourite movies!), they are not enough in and of themselves — I need the books, too.
I love hobbits!!!! Went immediately after I got out of work last night! Awesome film, amazing books, incredible contest! Love those prints– Harshness is awesome!
agreed :)
I couldn’t even say I read it a few times I believe when I was younger and am about to read it again. Maybe 3 then.
At least 4 times.
These are great. The Hobbit has always been my husbands favorite and I finally read it at the beginning of the year, it was wonderful.
