*CLOSED* Birthday Giveaway #2: IKEA Soft Toys Prize Pack!

Well, tomorrow is still my birthday, and I’m STILL having a little giveaway party to celebrate!

It’s time for giveaway #2!

We love IKEA, so I was excited when I was contacted about their Soft Toys for Education campaign.

This holiday season, the IKEA Soft Toys for Education campaign is back in full swing! Running from November 1 – December 24, this annual event continues to raise money to educate children around the world. Since 2003, the IKEA Soft Toy campaign has donated 35.2 million euros ($47.5 Million US) to UNICEF and Save the Children. This contribution has enabled approximately 8 million children in nearly 40 countries the great opportunity of having access to a quality education.

For every IKEA Soft Toy that a customer purchases, one euro (approximately $1.35 US) is donated to the Soft Toys for Education Campaign.

IKEA Soft Toys – which includes stuffed animals, finger puppets and books – range in price from $.49 – $19.99 and are available in all IKEA stores and online (for a look at the full collection you can head over here).

We were sent a package of IKEA Soft Toys to experience for ourselves.  They are adorable and fun.  But don’t tell my boys.  They’ll be finding them under the tree on Christmas morning!  (I’m especially excited about the puppets!)

Giveaway #2: One lucky reader will receive an IKEA Soft Toys Prize Pack.

If you aren’t familiar with Spa Wish, their Gift Certificates can be used at thousands of spas and salons across the country for services like manicures, pedicures, massage, haircuts and hair styling.  You can head over here to find locations near you that accept Spa Wish gift certificates.
