Gourmet Gift Baskets Review & Giveaway - CLOSED

Okay, let’s be honest for a moment, everyone loves junk food. At some point or another, I always want a snack. Rather it is before bed, for a midnight treat, or just something during the day. That’s why I’m so lucky that Gourmet Gift Baskets contacted me to do another review for them. They always have the best gourmet items in their gift baskets!

A Bit about the Company:
For a small company, GourmetGiftBaskets.com likes pulling off big projects that make it easier for customers to assemble an assortment of foods and flowers for a holiday or special occasion.
In 2008, GourmetGiftBaskets.com (No. 446) was the fastest-growing web-only merchant in Internet Retailer’s latest annual ranking of the 500 largest online retailers. GourmetGiftBaskets.com grew web sales last year by 172% to $12 million from $4.4 million in 2007. Despite the recession, GourmetGiftBaskets.com grew because the company developed web site features and functions that enhanced content, provided greater product detail and expedited checkout, says founder and president Ryan Abood.

I was able to choose one Care Package out of the many that they offer. I chose the Midnight Snack Care Package. The care package was packed full of goodies and treats! Typically I would make a list of everything that came in the package, but this time, there were just so many items.

Joshua has started a new job at a local factory. It gets so hot in there that I can’t really send him a yummy sandwich with meat or anything of that sort – it would go bad, without a doubt. So on his first day back to work after his weekend, he decided to pack his lunch using a few of the items that came in the Midnight Snack Care Package.

He took:
»Chef Boyardee Microwavable Bowls by Con Agra Foods
» Easy Mac Microwavable Macaroni and Cheese Dinner by Kraft
»Rice Krispies Treats by Kellogg's

No sandwiches – no nothing else, except for three drinks. I talked to him on his lunch break and he said it was a perfect lunch. Nothing was soured. Nothing was mushy. Everything was great!

Be sure that you head on over and take a look at their LARGE variety of care packages and the many other things that they have to offer!

Costume Supercenter.com Review

Who thinks that their child is the cutest child of them all? I believe that all hands are raised high. I know that once I have Aliya, my hand will be raised as high as I can get it. But I think she’ll be even more adorable once she puts on her very first costume, courtesy of Costume Supercenter.com.

A Bit About the Company:
Costume SuperCenter is the world's most exciting costume and accessory etailer. We are your year-round source for infant, children and adult costumes, teen, sexy and couples costumes; even pet and mascot costumes. Costume SuperCenter also has one of the largest selection of hats, wigs, masks, accessories and make-up, as well as seasonal holiday decorations and props.
Costume SuperCenter offers over 8,000 different costumes and accessories in the latest styles and from the hottest licenses including Disney, Marvel, Nickelodeon, Barbie, Star Wars, Superman, Universal, Playboy, and so many others. There is no place better to shop than Costume SuperCenter for Halloween. Our merchandising group has more experience than any other costume retailer or etailer in the country.At Costume SuperCenter, costumes are not just about Halloween.

How They Got Started:
In 2005, Steven Mandell, founder of Party City, decided to lend his vast knowledge and background of the Halloween and costume business to creating a costume website that everyone could visit from the comfort of their home or office. Mandell recognized the need for increased selection, high quality and more fashion savvy designs in the marketplace. And it's his continuing commitment to delivering the best online shopping experience possible that has led to our fantastic growth over the past 6 years.

Thanks to the Costume Supercenter, this coming Halloween (Aliya’s first – as she will only be going on 3 months at the time) Aliya will have the cutest costume of all the kids! You see, they offer many different baby buntings!

And we have been lucky enough to receive the Pea In the Pod Newborn Bunting! Look at this thing – it’s absolutely charming! I mean, what child wouldn’t look even cuter than usual in this little outfit? I cannot wait to see Aliya in hers!

The funny part, my mom hates pees! She won’t eat them unless they’re hidden in something or well-disguised, like in soup. So of course, I had to show her the bunting that we chose for Aliya. Believe it or not, she loved it! She said “I may not like pees, but I know one that I’ll love!”

A few things about the Pea In the Pod Newborn Bunting:
»Designed to be both durable and easy to get your baby into and out of.
»Available in one size (0-6 Months)
»100% Polyester
»The hood is attachable.
»Dry clean only.

Be sure to head over to Costume Supercenter.com and check out their New Halloween Costumes for 2011! I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed – there are so many costumes to choose from! There’s a little bit of everything and a choice for everyone!

Keep Your Eyes Open!

I have a great giveaway coming VERY soon!

If you love yummy snacks, you're bound to love this upcoming giveaway!

So be sure that you keep your eyes open - you won't want to miss out!

About to give up..!

Dear Google Documents,

You confuse me to no end! I may possibly come to hate you in the near future.

Dear Everyone Else,

I need a lesson on Google Documents. I have two uses for it at the current moment and yet am unable to figure out how to do anything at all! I want to make a two forms:

1) A form that allows companies interested in working with me to simply fill out a form and then have me contact them.

2) A form for an upcoming event that I will be hosting, (once again) allowing sponsors to simply fill out a form and then have me contact them.

I can do the creating a form, applying a theme to it, and saving it. After that, I'm lost. I don't know how to go in and edit it after I've saved it. I don't know how to post it for people to view it. I don't know how to do ANY of the rest of it. I suppose that you could say that once it opens up as a spreadsheet, it's game over for me.

I would love a crash course, quick run through, or any general advice (simple please though.. I'm VERY new to Google Docs).

Thank you to anyone willing and able to help.

HELP - Google Documents

Okay.. so.. Simple question, I hope.

If I make a Form using a Google Document, how am I notified once someone fills out the form?

»EMAIL?

»Log into Google Docs and check something?

AH! I am so confused! I have to figure all of this stuff out.

PLEASE HELP.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!
