An even BIGGER giveaway!


, An even BIGGER giveaway!
 So, what’s in the box?  
Well…remember on Friday when Nordstrom helped me give you guys the chance to win a $300 Nordstrom gift card?  
Well, today we’ve sweetened the deal and made the gift card $500!
What?!
Holy cow!
, An even BIGGER giveaway!
This is my excited face selfie.  Don’t worry my kids weren’t around for me to embarrass them with it :).
So, instead of one $300 Nordstrom gift card for your favorite mama, you get $500 worth of Nordstrom gift cards.   #weloveyounordstrom 
You can give that to one mama or you can split it up between several mamas (because based on your comments from Friday…a lot of you have several special mamas in your life!).  Remember, this doesn’t have to be YOUR mama…just a special mama you know (your sister, neighbor, coworker, friend, cousin, grandmother, etc).  
I have updated the Rafflecopter below with two new entry options.  If you already entered to win, you can now go back and add the two new entries.  One is to share this with your friends on Instagram and/or Facebook.  Let them know and maybe they’ll split the winning with you?!  And the second entry option is to pin my Mother’s Day graphic from my foodie blog today.  You just click on today’s Mother’s Day post and pin THE FINAL IMAGE on the post!  Easy!! Both entries are worth 5 points!
And as promised, here are a few more Mother’s Day gift ideas for the moms in your life…because we could all use a few new ideas, right?
Call me crazy but gift sets are always a win for me (and my mom!).  They’re priced better when they’re in sets, so you get more bang for your buck.  Here are some of my faves…
, An even BIGGER giveaway!
This Clinique set is valued at $104.50 but selling for $39.50.  Yes ma’am!
, An even BIGGER giveaway!
Am I the only one who really loves Kiehl’s?  I tried it for the first time once when we were on vacation (and I had forgotten my skincare stuff) and totally loved it!  This set would make this mama happy :).
, An even BIGGER giveaway!
And I told you on Friday that Viktor & Rolf was my absolute favorite…so, when I saw this gift set, my heart soared a bit.
And here are a few more Mother’s Day gift sets for you…
!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

And then don’t forget these picks from Friday…

One last thing before we get to the giveaway at the bottom…
, An even BIGGER giveaway!
…my top in the first picture is this one :).  I wear it all the time because it’s cute, it’s flowy, it’s a great color and it doesn’t really wrinkle at all!  It comes in multiple fun colors!  Love it with my black jeans :).

Okay, don’t forget to check out the two new entries for our $500 giveaway!  If you’ve already done the other entries, then you can go back and just do the two new ones (or do them all if you haven’t already!).  To find the image to pin, check out this post today…

…and pin the final image!!

Happy Wednesday friends!

  7. marycaitlinduffy says

    Love the Nordstrom! I'm excited to try out the tanning sheets. I'd definitely give this card to my sister, she deserves a little treat to pamper herself!

  8. Loren Lately says

    I just ordered more glow pads for my face, and added in the body wipes! Wow- on the nordstrom gift card! and thanks for the apple watch review… I've been wanting one and I think now I am going to order it.

  18. Lou Mcm says

    I would split this with the three amazing momma's in my life. My own mother and both Grandmothers who are in their 80's and still Nordstrom lovers!

  35. Whitney P says

    I would LOVE to give this to my sweet friend who kicked breast cancer in the butt and now the Lord has just blessed her & her hubby with twins through surrogacy only two weeks ago! It would be the perfect Mothers Day gift…

  37. Hilary Jose says

    My very own mother, of course! She actually got me a Mix & Match Meal Planner book for Valentine's Day as a fun surprise… it'd be super fun if the surprises kept going! 😉

  52. Liz Even says

    Ohh too many mamas to choose but I think my sisters. Savannah, Becca and Stephanie and my bfg, Melissa. Love these girls and their example to me!

  62. Allie Brady says

    I would give this gift card to my mom. She has had a rough few months. We recently found out my grandpa has cancer. My grandpa has taken care of my grandma for the last few years, but with the radiation he is no longer able to take care of my grandma or even his self now. Two weeks ago, my mom left her job and sold her house to move in with my grandparents. Id love to give her something she can really use for herself!

  70. kristine says

    I would give this card to my mom. She is battling cancer, and it's so hard to see her suffering. She doesn't have the energy to shop at the mall with me these days, but I could teach her about the joys of online shopping!?

  75. Kfran says

    Oh I'd love to spoil my mom with any of these goodies. My dad passed away in January & I've given her a little gift every month just to try to brighten one of her days. So this would be a total extra! Thanks for the chance to win!

  88. Whitney says

    My wonderful mother (and soon to be first time grandma) who has recently lost weight and could use some splurging!!

  127. Courtney says

    I would split this between my Aunt and my grandma(Gammy) that raised me! Two incredible women and influences in my life!

  130. Jill Clavin says

    I would still give this to my mama because she definitely deserves it. She takes care of so many people and things and is always willing to help. So, I guess, in a word she's selfless. She's also my favorite shopping buddy – always encouraging me to try different things on and giving honest feedback (you know, instead of just loving or hating everyone, she's legit). But this time it'd be nice if SHE actually tried stuff on and a trip was focused on HER. Because it so rarely is.

  134. Gina Raimondi says

    I would love to give this to my beautiful grandma (or gramcracker as we call her). She is my hero for so many reasons – from her faith to her fashion sense. I would love to spoil her with a shopping spree 🙂

  138. Gina Raimondi says

    I would love to share this with my beautiful grandma (aka Gramcracker ?). She is my hero for so many reasons – from her faith to her fashion sense. I would love to spoil her with a shopping spree.

  139. The Boutelle Family says

    Oh my goodness! I can't even decide who I would give it to. I would love to share it with my mom's small group – 5 hard working mommas of young kids. Thank you for the give away! Love your blog & your recipes <3

  140. amy says

    I would give if to my sweet mother in law who is keeping my son so I could finish out the school year teaching

  141. LaurenPatrick says

    I would LOVE to share these gift cards with my mom, step mom, mother in law, and sister in law! There's 5 of us, so it works out to $100 each…. It's destiny 🙂

  144. Liz F. says

    I know a single mother who has a very poor support system. She works so hard and pours all of her resources into her child–I would love to give her this gift card, she so deserves being treated! (although I would have to stop her for spending the whole amount on her daughter!) Liz @ familyoffoley.wordpress.com

  145. Kristen says

    I would gift this to my mom, aunt, and dear friend. Thank you for thinking of all of us with this great giveaway!

  151. gh329506 says

    I would love to give this gift card to my neighbor and good friend. She has 3 beautiful kids and is my inspiration- I hope to have kids just like hers some day… she is so selfless and does everything for her kids, mama deserves some spoiling too 🙂

  153. Kaleigh Sands says

    Absolutely love your blog!! Would love to give this card to my mom! She's in need of some new work clothes and has such a tough time finding things she likes!! Fingers crossed 🙂

  159. Kaleigh Sands says

    Love love love this blog, Shay! Thanks for the opportunity to bless my mama with this card! She would be over the moon if she gets it! 🙂

  170. I Like Ike says

    I have two sweet mommas, one who gave birth to me and one that married my daddy when I was very young and raised me. I admire them both so much and would split the gift between them. Happy Mothers Day! ?

  176. Melissa says

    It'd be fun to use this card for a memorable mother & daughter shopping day! Thanks.
    I'm new to your blog recently & have been enjoying it very much. Tonight, dinner is your pineapple teriyaki salmon & roasted green beans.

  183. Jami says

    I would gift this to my best friend! Her daughter has cancer and her husband is away for a long time. No one deserves it more! I love you Kelly! XO

  187. Unknown says

    Love your blog and this giveaway is amazing! I would love to split this gift between my mom and mother in law. They both work so tirelessly and never have time to do anything for themselves. They deserve a shopping trip and to be pampered.

  188. Lindsey M Miller says

    My sister and law and I are going on our first cruise with our hubbies – would love to share a shopping spree with her to get our boat finest! 😉

  193. Victoria Gonzalez says

    I would give this gift card to my mom because she deserves that and so much more! ❤️ Happy Mother's Day to all of you! God bless. This blog is awesome!

  196. Rebecca says

Every year the big Anniversary sale falls just a few days after her birthday and since this year is a special year, I would love to win this for her to just spend spend spend without any worries. Thanks Shay!

  201. Caravan Sonnet says

    I would love LOVE LOVE love to give this to my amazing mama who has helped take care of me and selflessly sacrificed so much throughout my life but especially these past four years as I had to move back home due to health reasons. This would be such an amazing gift!!
    Thank you for the opportunity!!
    Rebecca 🙂
    P.S. – it wouldn't let me share this but my Instagram name is rebeccaannvandemark and I do follow you! 🙂

  208. Lyndsey Parks says

    I would most definitely give to my sweet mama bear! Raised me and my sister as a single mom and has been taking care of everyone but herself ever since! She has THE biggest heart I know and would cry tears of joy over this!

  216. Victoria Sutton says

    For the eyeshadow palet in the Clinique gift set is one of their best pallets. It's so versatile, and easy to mix and match colors! It looks great with almost any skin tone!

  229. Libba says

    I could not remove the last check mark…I also could not figure out how to share on social media 🙁 so I did not get all of the points…

  232. dyth331 says

    I have several friends with new babies and I would love to gift them some Nordstrom money to pick out something special for themselves! Thank you!

  237. belindam43 says

    My sweet sister was 25 weeks pregnant wth her third baby, and went to the doctor last week to find out that he had died in her womb. She's at the hospital delivering that baby as I type this. I would love to give her such a special gift this Mother's Day!

  241. Mallory Ecklund says

    I would give it to my mom and sisters! They all help me with my 11 month twin boys and I couldn't do life without them! Would be the perfect gift to them!

  253. Unknown says

  269. Mother Henn says

    I would love to be able to split this gift card between all the special mothers in my life: my mom, my step-mom, and my mother-in-law. And, if I'm being honest, I'd love to pick a little something special out too….I always have a wish list going on at Nordstrom!

  273. Sasha Posey says

  278. Lizzie Simantz says

    How awesome Shay!! I would gift to my Mama and sister for sure!! We would have the best time shopping 🙂 And I love that clinique set!

  279. Kristen Lewis says

    I would give this gift card to my twin momma friend who is always so giving of her time to others and my sister who has a sweet baby girl my daughter's age who swaps date nights with me and is just the best sister ever!

  283. Karen says

    I would gift this to my niece. She's a young mama and could use a little pampering just for herself.

  284. Sarah says

    Thanks Shay! I think I'd give it anonymously to the awesome front desk ladies at my daughter's school. Random act of kindness 🙂

  288. Martha Kemper says

    Um, hello? $500 at Nordstrom's? AMAZING. I would share this gift card with my sister who is an awesome mama (AND grandma). We love meeting for lunch at the Nordstrom Café then shopping together. Doesn't happen nearly as much as we'd like it to, but this would fund a lot of sister lunches and Nordstrom splurges.

  289. kcsandpiper says

    I would use it for myself (I know sounds selfish). I am finally going back to work after 11 years at home with my kiddos. I don't think they will be ok with yoga pants, so I need more clothes but have no money for them!

  292. Lindsay Walter says

    Love all the gift ideas! I would split the gift card between my mom and my soon to be mother-in-law because they have been doing so much to help me plan my wedding that is a month away. They deserve it!!

    This is so awesome and great timing. I would love to take my mom shopping to give her a makeover and make her feel fresh and energetic again!

  303. Yulenna Duran says

    I would give this to my mother, of course. I know everyone thinks that thier mother is the best but in my eyes my mom truly is. She's loving, supportive, full of faith, encouraging, and so much more. A true gift to all of my siblings life. We're extremely blessed to have her.

  305. Kristen Tschiniak says

    Ahhhh I love giveaway days!! I love me some Nordstrom 🙂 I would gift this to my momma and my very fashionable grandma! Haha We could all make it a shopping day so that I could go too! 🙂 I love spending time with them – they are a hoot!
    -Kristen Tschiniak

    I would love to give this to my mom, mother-in-law, and sister (who is expecting her first child next week!) 🙂 Thank you for the giveaway!

  685. Jenrose says

    I would give the card to my sister. She is a mother of 5 girls and a pastors wife. She always puts her girls first above herself and doesn't spend money on herself. I have seen her make so my sacrifices for her family. She is a true picture if Christ's love. Always second to the kingdom. She wouldn't even know where to begin at nordies, but we could point her in the right direction. ��

    Considering I just celebrated my 40th Birthday– I'm also a Neonatal Registered Nurse so I need to celebrate Nurses Day and Round out the week with Mother's Day! Proud Mama of 2 boys!! I give give give to everyone else but me… So, this time I'm going to splurge on Me! (And probably spend half of it on the other special mothers in my life!!) Love your blog Shay! And a silly tidbit!! My oldest is Shea… Boston family (go Red Sox!) surname and my second son shares a bday with Ashby!!! 6.9.12!!! Keep being a great mama and coffee lover like me!!!

  706. emilyanne says

    I would give it to my momma! She goes above and beyond for my family and she would be thrilled with something like this. Thank you

  709. Bailey Morris says

    I would give part of it to my mom, who's a teacher and POURS herself into her students, and give the other part to my dad, who doesn't celebrate mother's day, but has done an amazing job of playing both parents when they got a divorced. Blessed with the best parents!!!

  712. Cami says

    My college bestie's baby boy was recently diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She is a super mama and I'd love to give this to her so she could do something special for herself!

  716. Nga says

    I would love to gift $100 each to my favorite mamas. My mama who raised 9 kids!! (All from the same parents after giving up their life in Vietnam for us to have a better life! And my 4 sisters who are amazing mothers to my nieces and nephews! My sister Sara has 2 kids but run a day care and never spends a dollar on herself so I would love to gift her with this gc! My sister Karen is a mother of 4 and stay at home mom. Although her husband is the only one bringing home income, she always shops with his hard work in mind so I would love for her to splurge on something nice for herself! And my sister Jenn who is expecting her first deserves a little pampering in the madness of all the preparing! And lastly, my sister in law kristy (married to my brother) deserves a sweet treat! They have 3 and are expecting a fourth and with only ever shopping at Ross or marshalls, I would love to give her the opp to buy something name brand for herself! Fingers and toes cross I win so I can't gift these mamas that I love and look up to! ?

  721. Charming Lucy says

    I am looking forward to checking out your recipes for Mother's Day! We have a party at our house and I need some new desserts! Thanks! Susan

  723. *Sydney* says

    My momma and I would love a shopping spree together. Being 3 months post baby #2 and my mom retiring from her job this month we have lots of reasons to celebrate!!

  734. jmaginness says

    I would give it to my mom, she has worked so hard to lose weight and get healthy to have a long life with current and future grandchildren!

  736. kmknowles says

    Well now I am going to need the gift card to gift to my step-mom on Mother's Day because you convinced me to go buy an Apple Watch yesterday! 🙂

  737. Denise says

    I would share it with my mom and my daughters. My mom has had health issues so it would brighten her day. My daughters know we are on a tight budget and they can't always get the things clothing wise they wish for….would love to surprise them with a Nordstrom treat!

  741. Jessica Kelly says

    Would love to have a moms day out with several of my momma friends (including my mom)! Shopping and a great patio afterwards! Yay for Mothers Day!!!

  743. Stacy B says

    I would give it to my mom. She is so deserving. At 34 she still takes care of me whenever I need it and always knows exactly when and what 🙂 She is amazing!!

  759. Meredith Broussard says

    You are such a sweetie for doing this giveaway! I would love to give this gift card to my Mom. She always puts other before herself, so she is more than deserving of a little shopping trip to Nordstrom!

  761. LJK says

    I would love to gift this to my sister, who has just moved back to Texas after a big absence. She is the greatest wife, mother, sister, and caregiver you could ever know.

  771. Van and Cindy says

    You have the BEST giveaways! No question – this would go to my mama! (Who – because she is awesome – would probably spend some of it on me and mine :))

  784. Cassie says

    I would gift this to my mom – she's always been supportive but we've recently moved in with our toddler while searching for our next house – she's been a huge help!

  789. Jeanie says

    Still thinking I'd like to gift my sister with this card. Or my unemployed daughter, although she isn't a mama yet.

  796. AEndebr1 says

    I would split this card between my mom, and my boyfriends mom. They are two of the most selfless and giving people, and I am so lucky to say that (as I know in-laws may not always be a favorite)!

  798. Brittany Zellmer says

    I have so many great "moms" in my life. I would share with some of my friends that are single moms and super heroes for doing so much on their own.

  801. Brigid FitzGerald says

    I would gift it to my mom so that she can buy comfy clothes for when she goes to her radiation treatments. She deserves to buy herself something for once!

  808. Heather says

    I would give the card to my sister. She is an AMAZING mom to my 2 year old niece. It wasn't easy getting here- she lost her first baby just 2 weeks before the baby's original due date, got pregnant with my niece who was born 5 weeks early and in the NICU but now we have my sweet niece that is healthy and happy. And my sister is now 6 months pregnant again with my first nephew- we pray every day that everything is good with this pregnancy, and she makes everything look so easy, all while her husband works out of state 3 days a week. She is an amazing mom and deserves this Nordstrom card- she never buys anything for herself, so this would force her to!

  809. giginpink says

    I would give it to my sweet mamma, the greatest lady I know! She is a true steel magnolia. You are a great mom Shay. Happy Mother's Day!
