{A Gussy giveaway, “hosted” by The Nester}

This giveaway is now closed.

Today’s a special day ~ Today through Thursday you have the opportunity to enter to win $50 Gussy shop credit. And guess what?! There will be TWO winners! Yeow!

Here’s what I’m thinking:

It’s important to take time for yourself, to remember the blessings you have in your life, to take a step back and remind yourself that we are all connected and loved and we’re taken care of ♥ — and so this month I want to bless two women with $50 credit to my shop.

Two years ago I started sewing — can you believe that? Time has flown by! And throughout these last 2 years I’ve been so incredibly blessed to have bloggers in my life, like Nester ;] , who have helped me share my passion and grow my biz.

Also, 6 months ago yesterday I quit my day job to sew full time ;D

Have I mentioned time has flown by?!

***

  1. You know my obsession of late with the LoveFeast Vacay bag, but the Spearmint dot zippered pouch, forget about it~adorable! Thank you for offering such generous giveaways.

  2. i adore you gussy. I need everything in your shop-not just one thing. I have worn out my laptop bag because I don’t leave home without it. I need a new one. I also need a new pencil pouch. I need a chatty gus, and a headband in every color, and a christmas stocking, and a tote, and, and, and….

    :)gina

  3. I can’t choose! I love that houndstooth pouch but those Christmas stockings are so adorable too!! What beautiful pieces you have!!

  4. i mean, really how can i pick ONE ruffle?! i love them all! if you force me though, i’m going to go with a headband. more specifically the red plaid one. makes me want to bundle up and go for a picnic :)

  5. I think those stockings are DARLING, but I could really use one of those fabulous make-ups bags too. Hard to choose!

    Signing up for your newsletter too!

  6. Hi there! I love your style and all your goodies!!! It was so fun to meet you at Relevant! If I won, I would quickly order a laptop sleeve – I’ve had my eye on those for over a year! Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  7. I always LOVE the damask tote/diaper bag, and need a diaper bag in the next month! I don’t have the money to straight-up pay for it, but if I happened to get $50 store credit, I could manage the rest =)

  8. It’s so hard to decide what I like best. I think I’m going to have to say the black and white totes — I just can’t decide which ruffle color I like best!!

  9. Seriously…those headbands! Ever since I cut 18 inches of hair off a few months ago I have been making all sorts of fun things to go in my hair. A ruffley headband (or two…or three…) would complete the collection!!

  10. I have to say I’m a sucker for the Damask totes… and purple. So of course I would choose one with a purple ruffle. One can never have enough totes!

  11. Pick a favorite? Geesh! That would be like asking me to pick a favorite finger…I’d really like all of them thankyouverymuch. :) But in the spirit of doing as I’m told, I’ll go with Christmas spirit and say I love.Love.LOVE the new Stockings! They’re fantastic!

  12. Oh, My! Those Christmas Stockings are BEAUTIFUL! I hope I win one! No, that would be two! Oh, be still my heart!

  13. Love your stuff! Love the damask laptop case and those stockings? Adorable.
    Question: have you ever thought about doing the little zippered bags with a longer (longer than wristlet) strap so they could be worn as a little cross-body bag? I love something just big enough for my phone and a few essentials, but I like being able to wear it and go hands-free! Just a thought!

  14. I’m loving the “Blue bell in pink make-up bag” and I really love the new stockings. Thanks for hosting, Gussy! :)

    Love,
    Emily N.

  15. I’m a US resident for the next six weeks — is that okay? Although I adore so SO much of the stuff in your shop, I might let my sister choose something as a Christmas prezzie. :) Or I might choose one of your lovely vacay bags and pay the difference and use it as a baby bag. Hmm. :)

  16. Let’s see, I already have the most beautiful knitting bag (your first, I might add), and 3 Gussy pouches…I think a pretty Gussy stocking would be on my wish list this holiday season!!

    xoxo~Meg

  17. What an inspiration you are to all DIYers out there……I heart, heart, heart the pink/black houndstooth zippered pouch to keep your phone (or other stuff) in. Keep up the good work.

  18. If I was shopping for myself it would have to be the damask tote with red ruffle – LOVE! but if I was shopping for my pre-teen daughter it would be any of the wristlets and a headband! :)

  19. I love the laptop bag! Oh, and the tote bag, and a few others… I can’t believe you’ve only been sewing 2 years! Yes, the laptop bag. That is what I don’t have, so that is what I *need* most :)

  20. oh, to have to pick just one fave out of your amazing items. ok, I would go with the green polka dot stuff. It is so happy.

  21. you are such an inspiration! i love everything in your shop; seriously. i’m going to own a gussy creation one way or the other :) it would be fun to fill my purse with the small pouches for some organization. the tote is amazing too…and the laptop bag…
    thanks for this opportunity!

  22. Gussy! I love my orange polka dot pouch, and I’ve had my eye on one of the spearmint polkadot pouches too. That and a cute headband or two!

  23. Everything is just perfect, I love the headbands, my daughter would love a few of those, and I love the laptop bag! I don’t think there are nearly enough ruffles in the world so keep em coming!

  24. I have seriously [<3]ed the charcoal LoveFeast vacay bag ever since it came out ~ my English major-ness can't tear itself away from that lining (do I sound like a nerd now or what?) :-)

  25. As they say, “You’ve come a long way, baby!” Good for you!

    I would so enjoy some Gussy make up bags and zippered pouches. A girl just cannot have too many pouches and bags, right?! Thanks for the offer!

  26. wahoo! Let’s see – I love the stockings, the wristlets, the totes, and the vacation bags. Can I get all that for $50? Hmmm… :) Oh, and the headbands! Gus, you are too fun! Thankful for your creativity and boldness!

  27. I heart the Tweet zipper pouch in black and white. I also love the Christmas stockings รขโ‚ฌโ€ so cute!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    P.S. As a Minnesotan turned South Dakotan…enjoy the snow! ;)

  28. P.P.S. I joined your newsletter list! My sister-in-law would love to get one of your pretties as a Christmas gift! :) Thanks!

  29. The tote bags are my favorite! I have a young daughter and I need to tote a lot of stuff a lot of places, and with this bag I can do it in style!

  30. I am in complete Christmas mode, and I just feel completely, utterly and totally in love with your Christmas stockings. Please PICK ME PICK ME! :)

    I just started sewing a year and a half ago, and I have no clue what I’m doing most of the time. I fake it. But soon I hope to be where you are – you are so creative!!

  31. I love the laptop bags!!! But I think I’d have to go with the stockings first, since they are ADORABLE and I’ve never picked out stockings for our family (mostly because I’ve never found any that were *just* right).

  32. I love everything -but if I had to choose my favorite item would be the organge and houndstooth zippered pouch.

  34. I subscribed for the newsletter and tried to follow you but an error is coming so I will come back later & follow :)

  35. Oh my gosh! I want to win this!! I heart the Green Floral Wristlet! and the Damask tote/diaper bag is way Cute..

  36. I need new stockings since I changed the colors of my Christmas ornaments for this years, and your stockings are super cute!

  37. My favorite is the spearmint dot zippered pouch. I have another Gussy zippered pouch and it is the perfect size for my drawing pencils. (But I love everything in your shop! It’s tough to pick a favorite because all your color combos are so great. I also like the red plaid and the green floral and the peppermint dot… I like the damask totes, too!)

  38. Oh, this is tough!! I love the tote/diaper bag in damask and choosing what color ruffle would be HARD. I also love the tweet in B&W zipped pouch.

  39. Okay, I’m supposed to pick just ONE thing I love?? Oy. The thing I am loving the bestest is the damask laptop bag with the ruffle, but those headbands and cute little wristlets. How can you not LOVE something called a wristlet?

  40. I want one of everything in your shop. Seriously you are good and I cant beleive you started sewing only 2 years ago, that is so impressive. If I had to choose I think i would get a set of 3 stockings or maybe a tote bag, or a zippered pouch, idk I heart everything.

  41. I LOVE the tote bags (I won’t call them diaper bags yet because I’m childless!), & I even recently blogged about the bag (pink ruffle is my fave, I think) on my blog post about my holiday wishlist. I adore damask & ruffles. Best combo ever?

  42. If I HAD to pick it would be the stockings.. no wait I changed my mind,tote bag, no laptop bag.. maybe some headbands… I dont know I cant choose, its all GORGEOUS!

  43. I really like the stockings. It’s about time to replace the old “Walmart clearance stockings” anyways, so I may have to make a purchase even if I don’t win!

  44. I love the gray/yellow floral wrist/clutch! All your stuff is amazing! I am following you on Facebook and subscribed to your newsletter as well. Thank you for the opportunity to win! :)

  45. What a tough decision! Your items are BEAUTIFUL! I really love the headbands! But your baby blankets would make for a beautiful newborn prop… I’d have a tough time choosing :) You should make DSLR camera straps :D

  46. I love the Damask tote/diaper bag- if I’m being practical with a baby on the way, but part of me really wants a makeup bag! :)

  47. Ooookaayy, I’m obsessed with the grey and yellow floral clutch. I can’t get enough grey and yellow. It’s a little ridiculous. But everything is so stinking cute!

  48. My favorite is definitely the tote bag with the pink ruffle. I have actually already made my Christmas list and sent it to my husband for this year. It has a couple of items from your shop (the oragne polka-dot makeup bag) so I hope he looks at it soon! I LOVE your ruffles!

  49. If I won, I would probably put it towards 3 stockings. We’re in desparate need of replacing our dollar store velveteen ones . . . :P Thanks for the giveaway and the chance!

  50. LOVE your Christmas stockings! I wanted to get new stockings for my family and a gift cert would get me half-way there!

  51. Well! I’m so glad I stumbled upon you! I LOOOOVE your stockings! Traditional xmas stockings are so… traditional? And I can only take so much of the velvet, green, red, blech. Sooo cute. I want one :) (or two…)

  52. And apparently I’m spamming your comments (even though you gave permission to spam with these entries ;))

    I also subscribed to your newsletter… and am totally awaiting said promo code to buy :D

  53. Hi there! I LOVE your new X-mas stockings! I’ve been blog stalking you for awhile so here is my reason to subscribe! Signed myself up for the newsletter too! That’s three entries, yay! :)

  54. I absolutely love your gray and yellow floral wristlet and the LoveFeast vacay tote bag in charcoal w/ green floral ruffle. I’m a teacher and this bag would be perfect for everything I lug back and forth from home to school! :) Thanks for the chance to win!

  55. First of all, I’m soooooooo glad I don’t live in Minnesota anymore. Can’t take all the cold and snow anymore!
    Secondly, I heart the damask laptop bag the most, but those stockings come in at an awfully close second!

  56. I am sooo in love with your charcoal LoveFeast vacay tote bag!!! What a great shop you have…lots of people on my christmas gift list would love a zippered pouch so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

  57. I love the Christmas stockings! I have been on the search for cute stockings and these would be wonderful hung by the fireplace!!

  58. I’m so glad you took the leap to learn to sew and quit your job!! It takes a lo to of faith and courage.
    I’m torn between to favorites:
    1. The wide bottom bag
    2. The purple and green floral wristlet

  59. I tried to subscribe to your blog through the RSS link you posted but couldn’t get it to work so I subscribed to you through my google account.

  60. i LOVE your gray/yellow floral wristlet! it is so feminine and i love that there aren’t a million others like it floating around :)

    thank you

  61. I’ve been lovin the Run errands with a Gussy tote/diaper bag (PINK especially!!) for a while, but those stockings are amazing as well!!

  62. My favorite would be the totes. I love the pouches, but the totes are so big! (ahem…my son calls my purse “The Pit” because I tend to put everything except dinner in it. So big means a lot. =) )

  63. I Triple <3 love the Damask Diaper Bag with the Pink Stripe…but the Christmas Stockings would be a great way to get me away from my generic red and white ones…hmmm…Love it all!

  64. I love the tote/diaper bag :) Would LOVE to use it to carry my things to work! So if I win {which I will, right??} that is what I’m going to put the $$ towards!

  65. I like the red plaid zippered pouch. I would use it to carry tea that I really like, so when I have lunch out, I could use my own tea bag and not have to drink tea I don’t like. (I really am a fussy tea drinker!)

  66. I always thought I loved your bags the most, but oh my, I love those Christmas stockings…maybe I need a few of those! -Jen

  67. I love those ruffle camera strap covers!!! I’ve asked for one from my husband for christmas! We’ll see if he figures out how to buy one online! Ha! I’m the online shopper in our house. I don’t think he’s ever done it!

  68. My personal favorite is the pretty bouquet make-up bag, but so many of your items would make great gifts for friends of mine… This giveaway is just in time for the holidays!

  69. It’s a toss up for me, I love your stockings AND the beautiful baby blankets! I would certainly love to have to decide which one to get!!

  70. The solid green ruffle headband, for starters! Then maybe the teal/green polka dot wristlet! Such cute stuff!!

  71. i love all things gussy!! and would so love to win, but if not.. i put gussy on my christmas wish list! ;-)

    i love the blue bell in pink clutch/wristlet!

  72. Well, I am planning on buying my mom one of your totes for Christmas, so $50 dollars off would be very very nice!

    PS, Whats the last date to order to get something by Christmas, or the week before Christmas?

  73. I like the floral headbands, or the small clutches, or the zippered purses, or I think you have too many to choose from. I really like all the stuff at your shop :)

  74. My very favorite is the laptop bag – SO much prettier than the basic black bag I have now. My only problem is deciding on the ruffle color: red or pink? :)

  75. I would probably choose one of the laptop bags, even though I don’t have a laptop. I can use it as a purse, right?? :)
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  76. Oh Gosh! I am in love with everything in your shop, but I especially heart the damask totes and the stockings. Everything is just darling with all the ruffles. I love ruffles!

  77. I love the Christmas stockings… my new baby girl needs a stocking! But I might also get one of those makeup bags for mama. :)

  78. I would totally buy anything you make with polkadots on it!!! lol :) and if i have the money (or the gift certificate ;) I would totally buy 2 stockings!!! one for me & one for my husband :)

  79. I can’t choose just one…I am in love with the green floral zipped pouch, the peppermint dot headband and the LoveFeast vacay bag! They are all three on my Christmas List and while I will love any ruffles I get, I’ll have to find a way to get the others!

  80. Wow – how can I choose just one favorite? I like all the make-up bags, but especially the orange floral with yellow ruffle! Cute!!

  81. I’d probably use it as a credit towards the laptop bag OR the diaper bag. We’re just starting the process of adoption and I’m loving that I can start thinking about what sorts of baby accessories I’d like to have without weeping anymore!

  82. I have not been able to stop thinking about those LoveFeast vacay totes. And it would be SO so perfect for my upcoming cruise. First time ever… to celebrate my 30th… with 8 amazing women. I’m so excited!

  83. DId I read that correctly?! You’ve only been sewing for TWO YEARS?!? WOW!!!! That’s so impressive! I LOVE your stockings in your shop! All of them!

  84. oh my goodness. I seriosly fell in love, i found your site off of nester and i’m in LOVE. If I won i’d get…

    the citrus polka dot wristlet
    the spearmint dot headband
    and the orange polka dot makeup bag :)

    i LOVE ruffles

  85. I adore the gussy girl strawberry purse because I know the little girl in my house would scream like a banshee to have it.
    You do wonderful work and I am so glad you are doing so well that it can be your full time work along with full time dream. Way to go.
    tammy

  86. I can’t tell you how cute I think your bags are!!! I sure hope I win a gift certificate!!! Your creations are great:)

  87. i รขโ„ขยฅ all the things in your shop…i think if i had to pick a favorite…i’d pick the christmas stockings…i’m thinking that’s what i’d get if i won! i need HELP in the christmas decorating department!! i’m pretty much a scrooge and have trouble getting it all out and looking good…so this would set me out in the right direction!!!

  88. I totally {heart} the purple leaf zipped pouch. I need nothing, but that is quite spectacular. I also intensely {heart} the purple baby blanket, however, seeing as I have no baby, I’m not sure what I’d do with it. Find a new mom to share it with, i suppose! :)

  89. Do I have to pick just one?! The stockings are ridiculously cute!! I also love the laptop bag and would love to give clutches as bridesmaids gifts! I love it all!

  90. I know the perfect little girl who would love the zippered purse with hearts. For me it would have to be the green floral makeup bag. So cute!

  91. Oh me, oh my!! I cannot decide if I would prefer to use a Love Feast Vacay tote bag with a matching little pouch as my diaper bag…. or classic Gussy diaper bag/tote with a solid color ruffle…. SO difficult to decide :)

  92. I love all the bags. We need a diaper bag for baby number eight. She’s just precious, and could use something all “gussied” up just for her!

  93. Oh, to pick one thing from all of this seems impossible!! I’m in love with totes, and yours are fabulous. Laptop bags also. And the stockings. I can’t choose! I want one of each :)

  94. What a fabulous giveaway – I adore your shop! I think the umbrella wristlet would be the *one*….although I do love the makeup bags….how to choose? :) Thanks for the chance!

  95. I have to say I love the laptop bags and the LoveFeast totes too! Oh and the makeup bags! Lol… I really like everything you make. :-)

  96. Just one?! I want one of everything รขโ‚ฌโ€ a clutch (specifically the gray and yellow floral wristlet), a headband (or 5), all the stockings, another laptop bag รขโ‚ฌโ€ seriously, I want it all!

  97. I had planned on getting the ladies in my family each a zipped pouch, because i wanted one myself, it just felt less selfish if i ‘gifted’ vicariously!! but o my goodness, think of the damage i could do with 50 free dollars to spend at GUSSYYYYYYYYYYY!!! WOOO HOOOO. i personally love the black and white houndstooth zipped pouches….(especially the pink ruffle) but i also have a “tote-less” laptop that I BELIEVE needs some attention, and ruffles!!! THANKS FOR THE OPPOTUNITY!!

  98. I love everything in your shop — but if I were to win, I’d put the store credit towards a Damask diaper bag (with the bright blue ruffle!). We’re expecting our second child in March, and I’d love a cute, fashionable diaper bag this time around.

  99. I would probably purchase a tote bag. I’m a new mommy, and my current diaper bag is worn out. It’s grey and black too. Even though we’re heading into winter, I am ready for a fresh look and some color in my life! And, I would have to have a headband too. LOVE LOVE LOVE the fresh colors and prints. SO FUN!

  100. Pick a favorite?? How do I do that? : ) I’m absolutely in love with the Christmas stockings (LOVE the red plaid). And I love the houndstooth pouches. And I adore the polka-dot wristlets (especially the orange one!). So much to love!!

  101. Love the houndstooth — all of them!! But I also love the pear girls purse — my daughter would love it!! Thanks!!

  102. I love all of your pouches but, if I have to choose a favorite, the Daisy Wristlet Clutch. Gorgeous and congrats on your success.

  103. oh dear goodness… i HEART everything in your shop. But if I were to choose today, it would be the stockings! Yes!

  104. This is my first time on your site, and I love your designs! If I won, though, I’d have to get the laptop bag. How cute!

  105. I love the orange polka dot wristlet lovely and orange is my favorite color. hope I win.
    thanks for the giveaway.

  106. I think I would {heart} to have a make-up bag or a vacay bag or a diaper bag (without the diapers) I love it that that particular stage of life is over for me. :) However, it is wonderful to see the fun of life through the eyes of “little ones.”

    Blessings

  107. I am LOVING the Christmas Stockings! They would be the perfect addition to our Christmas decor this year! Thanks!

    bekki1820cb at gmail dot com

  108. My, my, my! So much to choose. I am really digging the little girl purses so I would have to get one of those. And then maybe a little zippered purse or one of those lovely headbands!

  109. Oh, my… there is little chance of my winning since you have SO many soul sisters out there who love your goods! Just to throw my name in the hat anyway, though, I have to say I absolutely LOVE your Christmas stockings and tote bags. I’m drawn to the stockings since I have three girls and your stockings are just the right balance of feminine-but-not-girly and themed-but-not-matchy that I am going for! The totes are sassy and fun, too. Great stuff!

  110. Oh. man! I can’t choose just one favorite! My favorites are the damask diaper bag, wristlet/clutch, make-up bag, and headbands. Oh, and the Chirstmas stockings, too. I love them all!

  111. First, welcome to Mpls! You’re loving it already, as you’ve been to our great libraries (Washburn, perhaps?). My giveaway pick would be a sweet laptop bag, and a companion zip bag to haul the cords and stuff. This would be an improvement over my coffee sack bag and the old makeup bag. And, way cuter.

  112. I love all things in the Damask print, and I could easily use the diaper bag or the lap top bag! SO cute! I also love that bright pink baby blanket. But my hubby and I don’t have any Christmas stockings, so those would be a great thing to have as well!

  113. Holy comments Batman! – Congrats on your success Gussy!

    I love the totes! (I already have one – but I would love another!)

  114. I love everything! I just discovered Gussy today through another blog and I love it. If I have the $50 bucks I can’t decided if I would try to buy something for all my friends, like the adorable little zip up bags or if I would just splurge on one of those baby diper bags. . . crazy thing is I don’t even have a baby! Thats how much I love it.

  115. Yowza that’s a lot of comments!! I just started a new job and was blessed with a new laptop! I have been carrying my laptop around in a reusable shopping bag which while green, is oh so unattractive. I would love to get a Gussy damask laptop bag to match my shiny laptop!

  116. Oh man I’m torn with what I heart the most. I mean there is such cute stuff. My top picks would be the Damask diaper bag, the orange polka dot make up bag and the gray yellow wristlet. Soooo CUTE!

  117. TOTALLY a tote bag.
    No question.
    I’m all about tote bags, but all of mine say things like WALMART across the side of them, and quite frankly, are a little embarrassing to carry anything but my groceries in!

  118. I love the makeup bags, but it would be hard to choose a favorite. Your fabrics and ruffles are so cute! I love everything!

  119. Thank you for the giveaway! If I won, I’d be hard pressed to chose between a wristlet and make up bag. They’re so cute!

  120. I would love one of your beautiful vacay totes… obviously I’d use the credit towards that. and if I wasn’t feeling as selfish, I might get the sweet girl bag with the hearts for my sweet 6 yr old girl!!! maybe both?

  121. Gussy, I am in LOVE with your ruffles stockings. I would use the shop credit toward the 5 christmas stockings that I would need!

  122. I love the damask diaper bag/tote but also love the vacay tote bag and pouch too. So I would use a gift certificate towards the purchase of one of these two bags. You are very talented and have beautiful things. Thanks for the chance to win.

  123. Ohhh. How I would love everything that you make! If I did by chance win anything I would love a headband and a tote. My friend Molly Kesler just had a blast with you a few months back (and I was terribly sorry I couldn’t make it to her Gussy party…. maybe next time?!?)

  124. Everything is sooo cute and sweet! I would love anything from your store from the headbands to the little zippered pouches. It would be hard to choose, but I think I could do it! :)

  125. The damask laptop bag!!! In orange. Or creamy yellow. I really can’t decide- I just know I’ve got to stop using my old Hawaiian bag for my quiet time at Barnes and Noble. :)

  126. i LOVE the stockings!!! oh my goodness– those are the greatest things in the world and must be added to our mantle this year! :)

  127. I love your stockings! I haven’t bought any stockings for my poor family because I haven’t found any that I even remotely liked. But yours I LOVE!

  128. I would have to choose your laptop bag and I am thinking I would probably have to order a little zippered pouch as well. I LOVE your site and your products!

  129. wow! super talent! i have been looking for stalkings for the fire place, but i am in looove with the laptop bags so it’s a draw between the two!
