One of my favorite things when I was young (even now actually), was going to the store and buying a grab bag! You never knew what goodies would be inside, and that was a big part of what made them so much fun. Well, today I got an email from the folks at Bright and Bold letting me know that they have a special Mystery Grab Bag sale going on right now!

The grab bags include all brand new popular items, and you get to choose the value of the bag ($15, $20, $25 or $40)! The goodies come packed in an envirosax bag filled with double the value of whatever they spent in goods (i.e. buy a $20 grab bag and get an envirosax bag filled with over $40 worth of eco products that our buyers pick for them). The other great thing? They are shipping them free!!

The really cool part is that unlike typical grab bags, this one lets the customer tell us 4 preferances: 1) how much they want to spend, 2) what types of items they want in their bag (eco/green, kitchen/cooking, jewelry, fashion, gadgets, tabletop/entertaining, baby, etc…) so they’re guaranteed to get items that peak their interest, 3) if bag should be packed for woman, man, girl or boy, and 4) if they prefer neutrals, colors, or a combination. It’s a great way for them to get some cool eco stocking stuffers or holiday gifts at a super discount.

And here is a fun extra just for you! If you mention WISHLISTWORTHY in the comments during checkout, Bright and Bold will toss in an extra item! Go check it out, but you might want to act fast, they are sure to go quickly.

Ferrero Chocolates are known for their decadent, tasty, morsels. But what you may not know is that they have an amazing campaign called Share Something Sweet. From the website:

For the second straight year, the Ferrero Company has partnered with Share Our Strength®, one of the nation’s leading organizations working to make sure no child in America grows up hungry. The partnership extends beyond a typical donation and helps create awareness and understanding of this important issue in ways that resonate with Americans. A perfect pairing, both companies have a deep passion for food as well as the ever-growing concern of childhood hunger in America.

This year Ferrero has donated $150,000 to Share Our Strength and is giving others a chance to add to that donation. Right now, if you log on to Share Something Sweet and use it to “send something sweet” (that is, a customizable e-card), Ferrero will donate another $1 per e-card sent, up to $10,000. And for every person that joins the Ferrero Facebook page, “Ferrero Lovers Unite”, Ferrero will donate another $1 to Share Our Strength (up to $1,000).

What an amazing thing to do this time of the year! Be sure to visit the website and consider making a donation. While you are there you can have a little fun taking the “What Chocolate Are You?” quiz (I was a Ferrero Rocher), and sending an e-card or two!

Thanks to the Family Review Network for letting us know about this awesome campaign!
