As of DECEMBER 6, 2011, the Giveaway Entry method has changed! See below!
I don’t think it is any secret that I love my neighbors! They do so much from me from helping me try out products to taking my kids when I need some help. So, any chance I get to reward them, especially with Peet’s Holiday Blend Coffee… I take!
The other day my middle daughter, Sarah, opened the door, and my little dog, Bud, who is a backyard or inside dog only since his mass slaughter of seven chickens a year ago, ran out, darted around her, picked up my neighbors dog along the way, and they both disappeared into the 1000 acres that sits next to us. My heart dropped.
I got my kids, loaded them in the car and started driving up and down, and all around, looking for a little black and white dog. An hour later, still no luck. Dejected, we drove down one last street far from the field, in a last ditch effort. We passed my neighbors house on that street and as we were slowly passing, Katie yelling, “BUD” from the window, my neighbor comes out and flags us down!
“Are you looking for Bud?”
I tell her yes and she says, “I found him about an hour ago and brought him here so he would not get hit!” The girls were so excited and I was relieved! Now that is a GOOD neighbor!
So, I decided as a thank you, combined with an early Christmas present, to take my new favorite coffee, Peet’s, combine it with some goodies, and make her a Peet’s Holiday Blend Gift Basket!
I headed to Randall’s to pick up my Peet’s Holiday Blend and some other fun stuff to add to the basket! Of course, I headed straight for the coffee aisle and found Peet’s Holiday Blend, in it’s festive red bag, right away! I grabbed a bag of Ground and Whole Bean and then some bags for me!
Right down the aisle, I found the cutest coffee cup that would be perfect in this basket! It had a little reindeer on it and was the perfect size for a nice, hot cup of Peet’s Holiday Blend!
Next I headed to the candy aisle! I wanted to get some candy canes to melt into the Peet’s Holiday Blend because I imagined it tasting oh so yummy {it DOES}! Next in the basket was a Thank You Note! Yes, even though this is a Holiday Basket, I still needed to thank her for taking care of my dog! My daughter Katie found the cutest one!
See my entire shop here:
Convinced that my neighbor would love this basket, we headed home! I could not wait to put it together and take it to her!
I found some tissue paper in my closet, added my Candy canes, Peet’s Holiday Blend Coffee, the coffee cup and the card and I was ready to go!
See my video talking about the reason for my basket:
The next day, I took my neighbor her basket and she was truly surprised and loved it! It was the perfect Holiday Gift Basket to give and I can not wait to give out more! She even told me today that she and her husband had the Peet’s Holiday Blend this morning and it was FANTASTIC!
It makes me so happy to give back to others… and when I can do it with a quality product in a fun way, I love it even more!
SO, you can imagine that it THRILLS me that I get to give away a $75 Gift Card courtesy of Peet’s Coffee to one of my awesome readers!

Here’s an entry for your Peet’s Coffee photo contest. This is one of my favorite places to have coffee in the morning. The mug is a souvenier from a cruise my husband and I took several years ago. It always brings back good memories. Thanks for the chance to win a great prize. We’re all about the coffee around here!

I need a neighbor like you! Such a fun gift basket!!
What a sweet gift for your neighbor…I think it’s wonderful that you giving her this for being so thoughtful when it came to your dog. Love that you include a video too.
My favorite coffee mug has red plaid strips on a cream colored background. I like it because it reminds me of peppermint and warmth. It is the perfect size for a nice cup of coffee and it is lightweight which is also great. Thanks!

I do not have a camera so I will write instead. I love my cup because my son made it for me. He drew on it and my husband baked it and he wrapped it for me for Christmas. It was an amazing gift that a 3 year old did and it’s very close to my heart. I love drinking from it!

My husband’s coffee mug speaks about his heart. It is a picture of our son when he was only 1 year old. (He is 7 years old now.) Everyday since that Father’s Day that we gave it to him, he has been drinking out of it. It has some serious coffee rings! I would never change it though.
I love my coffee mug because my husband bought it for me himself. I know that sounds weird but it was extra special. We had hardly any money when he first went into the military 14 years ago. It is actually a Christmas one but I drink out of it year round!
I can’t take a photo so my fav. coffee mug has a pic. of my 3 dogs on it my oldest is starr she is 9 then tekka rose she is 5 and last is my pup Taz he is 10 months they are my life I have no kids so they are my kids every morning I enjoy my coffee with my mug and my kids…
My favorite coffee mug says: “Smart Women Thirst for Knowledge.” I have had it since college, and use it pretty much every morning. I love it because it is such a great saying!!

I love my coffee mug that I made online with my daughter’s picture on it with disney princesses..she was a baby, and now she is almost 4! Every time I use it I think of how fast she is growing from that little baby on the mug..:)
I love my coffee mug because it doesn’t get hot on the outside when I pour a hot beverage in it. It’s so difficult to find a coffee mug that is made like that.
My coffee mug makes me laugh when i look at it. My mom got it at a local store and thought it was $1 because the shop had $1 refills put on it. Every time i look at it, it reminds me how silly we can be at times and I think of my mom. :)
{{ MAN! I wish I could find my camera cord!!!!! }} My favorite mug is one I rec’d 2 xmas’s ago from my now 9 year old daughter. She bought it for me from the xmas boutique at her school, it came with some instant coffees and a stir’r spoon. She told me: I got this for you because you love coffee and it’s also your birthday so I thought you could relax and drink your favorite coffee. ” :) That girl’s FIRST on my Will~ lol …I use it daily, just a plain white mug with Holly detail and a red handle, but it’s the fact that she gave it to me ( with THOUGHT! ) that warms me

My fav mug is a pink mug an elderly lady brought me when she heard both my hubby and I were cancer victims. It was the sweetest thing she could have done and I cherish it.
I love my coffee mug because it keeps clumsy old me from spilling it everywhere like I used to. I also love that it was probably my best birthday gift ever!

My family won’t drink coffee that “tastes like rubber,” which is how they’d define Peeets coffee. I on the other hand, love it and will keep drinking it.
