Got two winners today… how cool is that?  When your drinking your “water” – be sure to think about us.  The comments on this one really cracked us up.  As we were drinking “water” last night and eating some wings – we pulled up the site via Shala’s iPhone and read through the comments.  You guys are funny – don’t let anyone else tell you different.

However, you didn’t come here to be told that you were funny did you?  Nah – you came here for some free sh!t.  So let’s get to it then.  Winner #1 of a Vapur Water Bottle from H2Ox2 is…

Congrats Jen – the Cheesehead herself! Your comment cracked us up too.  Hope this Vapur Water Bottle comes in handy while you are out in the garden!

Winner #2 is…

Congrats Patrice!  Another person that will not be throwing plastic water bottles into the landfills and killing Mother Earth!  That was kinda morbid.  Sorry.  Glad we could help you out though!

Thanks to everyone that played along w/ us.  Once again we do this for you guys and so w/out great folks to give it too – we would be just sitting here with a bunch of freebies… wait… can all you people go away.  That doesn’t sound that bad.  haha

Thanks also to Julie @ H2Ox2.com for providing these awesome Vapur Water Bottles – if you didn’t win (or if you did) – be sure to stop by and show her some love.  She has TONS of water bottles and you are bound to find one that matches your style.

Now we move on to the next one… will it ever end?!?  NEXT!

All of us need a great water bottle for the garden.  You know… “water” bottle… to keep your “water” in.  And by water I mean booze of course! 

So you are working in the garden, your sweating (because it is 900 degrees in TEXAS – you all are from Texas right?!?)… you are crying a little bit because you can’t get the weeds out that are takin’ over your garden.  You really need a drink – but you have vowed to stay out in the garden until you get all the weeds out.  So going back inside is not an option.  You are too grown to drink out of the water hose anymore (is there really an age cutoff for that?) – so what other options do you have?

A FREAKIN’ WATER BOTTLE!  A earth-friendly, re-usable water bottle.  With booze in it.    I added that last part… it could be water.  If you are a weird gardener that doesn’t drink whiskey in the garden.

Our giveaway today is brought to you by the letter H… wait, that is the wrong show.  It is brought to you by H2Ox2.com (you know… Julia Girdler).  They provide every kind of water bottle you could think of.  Seriously… even some you can’t even think of… they have them.  We are all trying to be more respectable to Mother Earth – and this is an easy and effective way to do just that.  The specific bottles that we are giving away today are the Vapur Water Bottles - which are HOT right now.

These awesome bottles can fold up and fit in your pocket (when empty), weight less than an ounce (when empty)… then can be filled w/ 16 oz. of booze… err water whenever you please.  Add in the fact that they can be frozen… dishwasher safe…foldable (I think I already said that)… they are just cool OK?!  This is a must have item for someone that is eco-friendly or is just trying to figure out some easy ways to “go green“.  Need I say more?

So you know the routine – head over to H2Ox2.com and pick up a water bottle of your own… they have kinds for every style, reason and everything in between.  I have one… it looks like a flask.  Shala has one, it looks like a water bottle and a garden had a love child.  So see… every style I tell ya!  Thanks to H2Ox2.com for the awesome giveaway… what a great way to “go green” (that sounds so cliche now eh?).

Oh… and I almost forgot – we are giving away TWO of these bad boys… and I believe you get to pick the color!  So go comment, go tell your friends on Twitter… Facebook… email this giveaway to everyone you know!  We will pull the winners randomly from the comments tomorrow – so be sure to comment (ON THIS POST).  Thanks again to H2Ox2.com & thanks for everyone that has been participating in these giveaways!  You guys are the best.  Good luck & good gardening!

Today’s giveaway is a weapon.  A mean, Japanese gardening weapon of danger and death… for weeds.  Or at least that is what I use mine for.  The Hori Hori Garden Knife (who’s name makes us giggle each time we hear it) is brought to you today from Aha! Modern Living – you know… Jayme Jenkins from Twitter (figured it out yet?  NestInStyle maybe?).  You know.  You gotta know.  You should know.

My wife got me this last year at some point and I have to admit when I pulled it out of the box… I felt the urge to go cut some sh!t up!  I ran outside, dug a big hole w/ it (cuz it is like a trowel on steroids) – then I filled it back in, found an old plant I had been dreading to cut out (because it had tough roots) and bludgeoned it to death, then cut its roots w/ ease (cuz it is basically a knife on steroids).. then I holstered it and drank a lot to celebrate.

I just made that up… sorta.  I embellished a bit.  I did drink a lot at the end. 

I joke, but seriously this knife is awesome – I had my Stepdad sharpen mine up a bit (because he is a knife maker dude) and it made all the difference.  Now it is a cutting machine!  I use it to plant with, remove grass and lots of other situations in which a trowel will just not do. 

Let’s get back to Aha! Modern Living though… you have been there right?  No?!?!  What the… seriously?!?  Talk about cool stuff all in one location – we have several items from Jayme’s website and expect even more.  You have probably seen our birdfeeder before – it’s from Aha!… you remember don’t you?  The one that the squirrel ate out of.  Here – just watch.  Anyhow – she keeps the coolest items for your home & garden and is a MUST for any “cool” kid.  You are a “cool” kid right?  I thought so – you wouldn’t be here otherwise.

If you don’t know the routine by now… your either half drunk or half crazy – or – half & half (not the best combo).  To enter this contest, leave a comment.  We will then pull a random number and the comment that matches that number… wins.  Simple.  Be sure to leave your name & email – or I will just keep it for myself.  Just kidding Jayme. 

PS – don’t freak out if your comment doesn’t show up immediately – that just means you haven’t commented here before, and because of the spammers in this world… we have to play bouncer and check everyone’s ID.  So give me a bit, because I’m either super busy… or super… ummm not thirsty.  I will get it on there before we draw the winner – I promise. 

Oh and thanks again Aha! Modern Living for this awesome giveaway!
