I wish I could give away all of my favorite things to each and every one of you, kind of like an “Oprah’s Favorite Things” giveaway, but for allof my friends! Yes, YOU really are my friend, and I appreciate you so much!
Since I’m not Oprah, but still want to do something special for you, I compromised, and am doing a contest to send my three favorite things to one lucky reader (in the US or Canada – Thanks GDPR for ruining it for my international friends)! What can I win, you ask? Well, let me tell you!
My Three Favorite Things of 2018
1 “Sip, Savor, and Drink Deeply” by Deb Burma!
I all honesty, with the holiday season coming fast, and -well, the busyness of life in general- it can be tempting for me to skip my daily devotion time. The more I make time to be in God’s word, though, the better I feel, the more I feel my stress levels decrease, and the more I gain perspective on my days! This wonderful Bible study by Deb Burma is just what I need right now, and definitely my top pick! It would also make a meaningful Christmas gift! 🙂
2 “Everyday Confetti” by Karen Ehman and Glynnis Whitwer!
This book was made for me! As you know, I love to celebrate, and this year-round guide to celebration is packed with wonderful ideas and amazing recipes!
3 $5.00 Starbucks coffee card!
Do I really need to explain this one? I love coffee, and the peppermint mocha from Starbucks is one of my all-time favorite coffee drinks (and the gift cards don’t come in the $6.81 denomination it takes to purchase a Venti)!
How to Win
To enter the contest, comment below with one (or three) of your favorite things, then subscribe to my email newsletter (if you haven’t subscribed already, that is)! For a BONUS entry, be sure to follow me on Facebook or Pinterest, too!
The contest will run through Thursday, December 13th, when I will draw a winner! The winner will be notified via e-mail so that we can get this brown paper package tied up with strings shipped to their door!
Thanks for being my friend, and may the anticipation of a wonderous Christmas season fill your heart with joy!

Hey, Katie!
What a great giveaway! My favorite things are too numerous to name so I’ll just pick a few. I love a nice snowy day to stay in and bake. I love listening to Christmas songs while cleaning. I love snuggling under a warm blanket, watching movies with the kids and hubby.
Those all sound like wonderful things, and any excuse to bake is good with me! 😉
Oh I would love to read Everyday Confetti! I also love to celebrate! I have enjoyed following you on Facebook and instagram. Keep up the good work 😉
I first found the book when we were visiting Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs, and I told my husband I had to have it, lol! Thanks so much for following Celebrating With The Bug; I really appreciate it! 🙂
Thanks for putting this giveaway together. I subscribed to your newsletter and followed on FB and Pinterest 🙂 A few of my favourite things: Tea, essential oils and chocolate!
Thank you so much, Yolanda; I will make sure and do the same! 🙂
It sounds like the perfect combination to me! Great post!

A couple of my favorite things are cuddling with my kitty and drinking hot cocoa with whipped cream
Hooray I am so happy to have you here! Anything with chocolate and whipped cream is right up my alley too! 🙂 Thanks again for joining I love making new friends!
Yay, I love a good giveaway! Even if I don’t win, I’m going to look into snagging a copy of that first book.
I am sure you will love it! Thanks so much for entering! 🙂
This looks like the perfect combination of ideas! I’m adding “Everyday Confetti” to my list!
I know you will love it the recipes alone make it worth buying!
Subscribed!! A few of my favorite things…hmmm shoes. I love comfy shoes- I struggled to find any that I could wear for years. Figuring out a size has opened a whole new world. Anything I can play with the kids. Right now we’re loving Mario Party for the Wii. Books. Any books. I love reading with the littles, by myself, or sometimes when my husband reads aloud to me. Fingers crossed for this giveaway. Oh and I love coffee too so fingers double crossed! <3 Jamie
Hooray thanks so much Jamie! I love comfy shoes too and I have my fingers crossed for your giveaway as well! 🙂

One of my favorite things is decorating for Christmas and baking, but that kinda comes with it.
Me too! 🙂
I love knitting, playing piano duets, and drinking tea (:

What a neat idea, thanks Katie! Currently my favorite things are any homemade baked goods!! Hmmm the smell they bring to the house and the taste in my mouth. ☺️
Thank you and I totally agree about homemade baked goods! YUM! 🙂
A few of my favorite things would be Netflix, a snuggly blanket from Minky Couture, and bath bombs from SunbasilGarden!!!! Heaven.
Ahh, yes good old Netflix! I love watching The Great British baking show! 🙂
