3 in 1 Wrap - Our Weekly Blog Giveaway!

I am kind of like a Girl Scout - always prepared!  Especially when it comes to chilly restaurants, movie theaters, and the like.  I always *always* bring a jacket, pashmina, sweater or scarf - whichever looks best with my outfit:)  But looky here - our Top it Off Wraps can be worn 3 different ways, so they look cute with almost anything!  AND they look amazing monogrammed!  Great for any of the women in your life that are always cold!  Think Mother's Day for sure!  One of you lucky readers is going to get one for FREE, because the 3 in 1 Wrap is our Weekly Blog Giveaway this week - woo hoo!

The Giveaway!

This week we are giving away one of our Top It Off - 3 in 1 wraps - with a monogram!  There are so many beautiful colors to choose from!  I of course would probably go with boring versatile black.  What would you go with?  The very fashionable and cute colors to brighten up your Spring & Summer wardrobe or black like me?:) 

Our Top it Off Cotton Cable-Knit Wraps wraps can be worn 3 different ways!  The wraps are 55% Cotton/45% Acrylic and are $50.  Such a cute, versatile, and functional gift - love it!  We are offering a free monogram with the purchase of a wrap through next Friday - see the coupon section below!

Do you want one?  I thought so!:)  All you have to do is comment on this blog post (if you are reading this on Facebook here is the direct link).  Let me know what color is your favorite!  I want to know how many people would go with my neutral color and hence not make me feel so bad about being practical/boring - it's the Capricorn in me - I can't help it!:)

Great Mother's Day Gift Ideas!

Mother's Day is quickly approaching (it's May 9th - exactly 2 weeks from Today!), so I thought I would give you some fun new gift ideas from Swagger!

Does your Mom love being outside at the beach or pool?  If so, Swagger can definitely hook your Mom up with some great gifts that are functional AND cute!  Gotta love that for Mom! 

Pictured here are our:
Foldable Hats (they come in a ton of colors) and you can fold them up in a ball and they pop right back out to there original shape!  Great for traveling or to just keep in your beach bag!

Lounge Chair Cover - Mom will never have to worry about her towel slipping down and exposing that awful chair again!

Lindsay Phillps' Interchangeable Flip Flops - Now Mom's flip flops can match ALL her bathing suits!

Beach cover ups - Lots of different choices in terry cloth or regular cotton both very stylish and comfortable.

Pamper your Mom with our new Shelley Kyle Luxurious Bath and Body Line!  We fell in love with this line at market and couldn't wait to get it in!  Shelley Kyle bath and body products come in three scents - Annabelle, McLendon, and Tiramani.  I always have a favorite scent in any line we carry, but I absolutely can not decide between these three scents because I honestly love them all!  Each scent comes in perfume, body lotion, foaming bath gel, and sugar scrub - so a great gift set can be made!

Is your Mom always on the go?  Maybe she needs cute new personalized luggage tags for her airplane trips?  Or possibly a monogrammed coffee mug for that early morning jolt of caffeine? Come by and check out our new personalized gift's line that we can print for you at the store in minutes!

 





Gardening is my Mom's favorite thing to do and she loves getting beautiful things to put in her garden!  Does your Mom fit in this category?  If so, check out our glass blown hummingbird feeders and glow in the dark yard stakes!

Finally, is your Mom an accessorizer (is that even a word)?  Either way, if your Mom fits in this category, you know what I'm talking about:)!  She changes her jewelry daily.  Always has the perfect necklace for every outfit, etc.  We just got several new jewelry designers at Swagger, so please come in to check it out - you won't be sorry!  (And maybe you'll even find something for yourself)!

Need a Cute Waterbottle? A Giveaway!

This week we are starting to do our WEEKLY GIVEAWAY on our BLOG!  We are super excited and hope that all of you participate in our NEW Weekly Giveaway! 

I know you are asking yourself why?  Why not do the giveaway on Facebook anymore?  There are a couple of reasons:
1.  First of all, a couple months ago Facebook sent out an email to all page owners that said "Giveaways are NO LONGER allowed on Facebook unless you use one of our approved 3rd party applications".  I chose to ignore this email and live on the edge.  But for all of you who know me personally - I am a ruler follower.  Sometimes I wish I wasn't - but I am (is this a good thing or a bad thing - not sure?). 
2.  Secondly,  we have a lot of customers who aren't on FB, but still want to participate in the weekly giveaways.  They shouldn't be punished for not using this time suck useful social networking tool - should they?:) Of course not!

So the time has come to switch it over to our blog and I am soooooo excited! 

TIME'S UP!  The winner has been posted here. 

 Thanks for playing and make sure to check back with us on Friday for our next giveaway!

The Giveaway!
We are starting our *new* Weekly Giveaway with a super cute Personalized Waterbottle by Lipstick Shades! 

This 20 oz aluminum water bottle is BPA free and dishwasher safe.  It comes with 2 tops, one is a pop up sports top and the other a simple screw top.  Normally only $25 - but one lucky person is going to win one for FREE!

So cute - don't you think?  It is perfect for a teacher gift (it's coming up on that time of year again!), or for your girlfriend who works out all the time, or anyone who wants to be "green", or for you (of course)!  I just sent one to my sassy little God daughter for her 4th birthday with "Miss Ava" on it!  What would you use it for? 

Interested??  All you have to do to win is comment on this post!

The Deadline...
The contest will run until Monday April 12th at midnight EST.  The winner will be chosen by his or her comment number (using random.org's number generator) and announced on this post on Tuesday April 13th!  Check back to see if you are the winner!

The Coupon!
Now through next Friday April 16th we are offering 15% off on this item!  If you would like to order one you can purchase it online, call us at 1-877-SWAGGER, or come by our store in Cary, NC.  Enter coupon code  "Ilovewater" at checkout online or as the code word in the store.

New Comment Form

I have been wanting a new, more user friendly commenting form on our blog.  And now is the perfect time - especially since we are moving our Facebook Friday Giveaway to our BLOG!

Swagger's Weekly GIVEAWAY will now be hosted on our blog!  We are doing this for a couple reasons:
First - because Facebook does not allow giveaways (without a 3rd party application) anymore.  Kinda sucks - but we are moving on:)
Second - because we want to do the GIVEAWAY on our blog anyway - take that Facebook!:)

So please come comment on our blog and let me know if you like the new commenting system!  Do you think it is user friendly?

Thanks!

April Showers bring...calm, clarity and relaxation?!

Today is the first day of April, and we always hear that "April showers bring May flowers," right? Well this April at Swagger, that saying takes on a whole new meaning.

I'm not talking about rain showers, I'm talking about an aromatherapy experience right in YOUR shower every morning! Shower Steamers, one of our newest products, give you a complete spa experience at a fraction of the cost without ever leaving home!

With luxurious blends like grapefruit and lavender to refresh and eucalyptus and peppermint for clarity, your shower will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated-think of it as "spring renewal!"

Simply place one shower steamer in the indirect spray of your shower and let aromatic oils blend with the rising steam to uplift your mind, body and soul- and hey, who can't use a little "uplifting?" :)

Stop by Swagger today to spice up your daily shower routine! Shower Steamers are $5 each (each steamer will last 2-3 showers!), or three or more for only $4 each! So go ahead, grab some for yourself and some for friends...but mostly for yourself! :)
