Gift Guide Giveaway: Handmade Olive Branch Wreath

In case you missed it, I launched my 2009 Holiday Gift Guide on Sunday. I’m really excited about all the products included and hope you find it useful. Many of the merchants kindly offered to give their products to you so I’ll be hosting giveaways all week and into next week too!

Today, the giveaway is for a handmade olive branch wreath from Lindsay Olives. You’ll find these featured in the Gifts that Give Back section HERE.

A Little About the Product: Lindsay Olives is offering gift-ready wreaths in two sizes, each a fragrant restyling of the traditional olive branch wreath. Holiday shoppers can give a charming 14-inch round wreath, or an impressive 18-inch round wreath. The wreaths are hand-woven from freshly harvested olive branches, universally recognized as a symbol of peace, along with branches from bay and eucalyptus trees. The branches are harvested from California groves and, over time, dry to a beautiful silvery green. Fragrant bay and eucalyptus branches add that special holiday aroma.  Each wreath is packaged gift-ready in holiday red tissue paper with a personalized gift card.  Buy them online HERE. All proceeds benefit Meals on Wheels

Why I Like this Product: When I opened the box I couldn’t believe how wonderful the wreath smelled. It was amazing. It was also beautifully woven together. I plan on using mine as a centerpiece however you could easily use it as a wreath. I’ve had it about 2 weeks and it is slowly drying however it hasn’t lost it’s luster. This would make a wonderful gift and you’ll also be helping Meals on Wheels with your purchase.

Today I have a one wreath to give away. Ready to win? As usual there are 3 methods of entry:
