Holiday Shopping Guide, and another giveaway




Adagio Teas - Free Shipping with $50

I’ve tried several times to give up my soda habit, and all I’ve really accomplished is developing a tea habit.  But something about being addicted to tea just sounds better than a soda addiction, don’t you think?  Adagio Tea has a great selection of flavored teas, and some really nice gift sets too.

Adagio Teas

I especially like these Hand Carved Tea Chest. The gourmet set comes with 24 tea bags, the premium set includes 30 tea bags, and they both come in the lovely wooden chest.  What a nice gift idea for that hard to buy for person on your list.

The Holiday Sampler includes samples of candy apple, candy cane, chestnut, cranberry, gingerbread and pumpkin spice.  Those all sound like something I would love. And not share.  Yum.

The wonderful people at Adagio Teas have graciously given a  Starter Seticon for me to give to one lucky winner!  This is their best selling gift item, and it includes a teapot and 4 tea samples.  You can choose from a variety of four packs.

To Enter to Win:

Open to US addresses only. One entry per person, but you can earn additional entries.

  • Visit Adagio Teas, browse around and then leave a comment here letting me know which four pack you would choose if you won the Starter Seticon. Your choices are: Black, Green, Flavors or Herbal, and you can see which teas are included in each choice by clicking on Starter Seticon
  • Mention this giveaway on your blog.
  • For an extra entry, sent a tweet on Twitter about this giveaway.  Leave your Twitter name in your comment.

For each thing you do leave 1 comment (ex. 1 comment telling me which tea four pack you would choose, 1 comment for a tweet, 1 comment for mentioning this on your blog)

This giveaway will end Monday December 8 at midnight CST. This giveaway has ended and the winner will be notified via email and announced after responding.  Thank you everyone who entered.

      It’s always tea time in my home,
      We love the “flavors”, can’t wait to try some…
      Happy Holidays and Tea-Days to you!

      This is very clever! I always struggle with tea leaf residue. If I won, I would choose the Herbal, as I have lots of green teas already.

      This is a beautiful prize…i chose the herbals…almost went with the fruity flavors, but on a cold day, peppermint tea is SO good…and let’s not forget how well chamomil tea with a wee bit of milk helps cramps and stomach aches..so, herbal for me :-)
