This week’s giveaway is from one of my favorite sponsors:

Purse Bling

Jerilyn and Michael Stein, the owners of Purse Bling,  have a desire to help women find harmony with their handbags.

Their products are about making everyone’s life easier and more organized.

How many of us have developed bad habits with keys and cell phones?  Leaving them around the house and having to search everywhere for them, or worse yet, locking the keys in the car.  Now, know exactly where everything is at with just one glance.


Want to switch purses and have 30 seconds?  No problem!  Pull out the Purse Organizer, with all of your items,  and place in the new handbag.

I have an addiction to pretty handbags — the bigger the better! The downside is that I fill them up with all kinds of things and then I am always rummaging around trying to find a pen or my keys. So when Jerilyn sent me this red handbag organizer, I was so excited to try it out. I was amazed at all of the pockets that it has. There is a place for everything! Now when I want my lipgloss, all I have to do is look in the little lipgloss-sized pocket!

And when I want to switch purses, it’s so easy. I just transfer the Purse To Go Organizer from one purse to the other. It literally takes me less than a minute! And I don’t have to worry that I’ve left something important in my other bag!!

Genius!!!

Need something a little fancier, of course they have you covered!

Can’t decide which item to get?  

Well, you don’t have to because Purse Bling is giving a $40 certificate so the winner can get an organizer, a purse hook or other awesome item from their store.

And Purse Bling is giving Tatertots and Jello readers a 10% discount and Free Shipping in the US (*orders over 9.95).  Just enter in the code TATER for the discount.

These organizers and purse hooks would make great holiday gifts or even stocking stuffers!!

Come link up YOUR great ideas and enter to win!!

xoxo

Have a Happy Saturday!!!

Another Great Ideas feature post is coming up tonight!!
