GIVEAWAY: Pink Ghost!

I am lucky enough to know the lovely people behind the local designer toy store, Pink Ghost. We met after they opened a store across the street from my husband’s office and our friendship has grown throughout the years. Now focusing on their online store, they offer the best there is when it comes to vinyl toys, accessories, gadgets, bags and prints. Basically, it is a geeky wonderland, and one of you will be lucky enough to play Alice.

That’s right! Pink Ghost is giving away (1) chubby book & (1) mini figure of your choice to one lucky Melificent reader! To enter, visit Pink Ghost & comment to this post with which products you would pick if you were announced the winner.

A winner will be chosen at random a week from today, 3/1/11.
Good luck to everyone!

1. DIY Zipper Rings

These rings are just too much. When I stumbled on this photo on Pinterest, I thought I would be able to find a link to purchase them – little did I know they were a DIY project! I was floored…and after reading the simple tutorial, I was inspired to possibly make a trip to the nearest craft store and give it a whirl myself! These would also make really spectacular and unique gifts for girlfriends or family!

1. Dino bookend

Who wouldn’t want Bobo the dinosaur holding up their books, acting as a door stopper or just staring at you with those non-existent, but somehow adorable eyes? You just can’t resist. Although a little pricey at $48, you can have your own leather Bobo to adorn your bachelor pad, children’s room or office space. It’s kind of weird and sad that I will no longer have a desk to call my own (new job starts in a couple weeks & it’s a contracted position), but if I still did, I would love this little sucker to perch on it. Although I would probably switch out his plain black collar for a nice hot pink number instead. 😉

1. The Kills

Don’t you love when you feel like you are re-discovering a band for the first time at every listen? That’s how I feel with The Kills. It’s almost like I forget how amazing they are on a quarterly basis and then magically remember. I have no idea why they are so underrated, but I could listen to them all day. You are probably familiar with front lady Alison Mosshart, from The Dead Weather, but there is just something even more special about her already gritty style while fronting The Kills. I love how the band fluctuates between sultry, fun and emotional almost seamlessly. Needless to say, I am beyond excited for their 4th studio album, Blood Pressures, which is slated for release in April! Hey Kills, if you are listening, please swing by South Florida while on tour!

1. DigiDudes Pocket Tripod

I may have verbally squealed when I saw this on a friend’s pinterest board. It’s just all sorts of adorable and…it’s pink! If you are a camwhore like myself (hey, I’m honest), a handy dandy tripod that can be carried with you on your bag or purse is a must-have. I can especially see its benefits now that I am doing this 30-day fashion challenge, so I can see it being extremely useful for a fashion blogger. Needless to say, I sent it over to the hubs as a possible Valentine’s Day “stocking stuffer” so to speak, and he replied with, “bought.” Isn’t he the greatest? Want your own? Buy it here!
