Mystery Box

I have a mystery box to giveaway.


It contains books, chocolate and a gift card among other surprises. If you want in on the mystery gift box giveaway, just post a comment telling me why you like surprises. I'll draw a name next Tuesday when we have another fabulous giveaway.

    How fun! I love surprises...especially books, because it might be a new-to-me author or maybe a book I've read and loved...giving me an excuse for a re-read. :-)

    Good surprises - I love! (Bad surprises - not so much - I'm still recuperating from Monday's "episode" with my nephew!)

    Good surprises though - the way I look at it is: If someone surprises you with a gift, phone call, visit, etc...it means they were thinking of you! & that's the best gift of all - to know that you're thought about & loved by someone... and sometimes it's from someone you'd least expect it.

    Thanks for all the great posts, Lori!! Hope you & yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

    May God bless,
    Trisha Wilson

    why i like a surprise: usually they are just out of the blue surprises, where i had NO idea i was to be honored for the charity work i've done, or something similar.

    wow very nice gift, not sure which i'd pick if i had to choose just one thing. thanks for having this contest.

    I love surprises because life is full of them, both good and bad. You can choose to dwell on the bad, or you can choose to rejoyce in the good. The point is, you have a choice, and that is something to be happy about.

    It's the excitement and anticipation of finding out what is inside. I don't get too many surprises cause apparently I am too hard to buy for and they want me to write everything done and they just go and get it. But have a birthday coming a week from tomorrow so maybe they will surprise me

    When you don't know what's in a box the possibilities are endless and it's fun just to imagine what it could be.
    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Surprises are like tomorrow, you never know what is going to happen or what's around that corner, to me the fun is opening and seeing what is in there, little surprises like your child walking up to with his little hand behind his back, and says "close your eyes and open your hand" you do so and when it hits your head you have all you can do not to fling it away, because it moved, you look at the little crushed dandelion with and earth worm with it. And you smile with your heart!

    Surprises are the BEST!!! They're like the first snowflakes of winter....you never know what or when but oh when it happens...the feeling :)
    I LOVE that feeling!!!!
    All super duper happy inside and can't hold it in....just wanting to explode! Scream, laugh, cry and when it's done you still have that left over little bit to last you a few days. Totally AWESOME!
    Thanks for the chance to have a surprise :0)
    Have a wonderful Holiday and a great weekend :0)

    Surprises ALWAYS make me smile! It seems that just when my life is getting predictable, a "surprise" happens. Now, it doesn't always turn out to be a good surprise -- sometimes it's work and yeesh, some days even I couldn't make up this stuff! -- but sometimes, I'll get a phone call from a friend, just when I need it. Or my 3 year old neighbor will run down her front steps, wave her arms, and yell "Hi Gales!" (Yep, she adds an 's'!) But surprises always make me smile. Thanks for all the wonderful surprise giveaways. And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours (and everyone else out there!)

    I love surprises because just not knowing what you find in the box is so much fun. I love Christmas time just for the surprise of Christmas cards that come out of the mailbox.

    It is just nice to not know what is in the box every once and a while it keeps life a bit more fun.

    Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving day tomorrow.

    Lori! You are so generous to your readers! What a neat thing to do. You snagged me at the word "books" but then you added chocolate and a gift card and I am awe-struck! You are going to make someone very happy!

    Speaking of happy - Happy Thanksgiving to you! Hope your sister brings one or two of her beautiful pies! Do take some pictures and share, OK?

    I like surprise because I have told my husband that I do for almost 20 years. He still doesn't get it. :) Every once in awhile he catches me off-guard and hits a home run, but not often enough for me, LOL!

    Happy Thanksgiving, Lori!

    Surprise boxes are the best ones because you never expected it in the first place. For me, it does'nt matter what it is, it's that someone thought of me.

    I'm a sucker for surprises. I love that feeling of having no clue what you're getting, that thrill of OoOOooh someone thought of me and really wanted to please me (with something they're super confident I'll like). I'm also a lover to giving surprises. I'm sitting on one now for Christmas even though I'm not supposed to be buying said person a gift. LOL. Surprise! :D

    I don't like surprise parties (I plan my own birthday parties--it's ok, I insist on no gifts), but like surprise packages! I was always a sucker for the "grab bags" at the cross-stitch stores. Hope you have a super weekend and thanks!

    Surprises simply call to my curious nature. I'm intrigued and have no idea what to expect and when it comes to good surprises I can expect joy. From the giver perspective, suprises are also a wonderful thing in seeing their instant response :)

    Today highlights that every day we should express not only gratitude for our families, but for living as a free people. The consensus appears to be that life is brimming over with surprises. Those that leave us looking like a deer in the headlights. And those that tickle our curiosity, bring a smile to our lips, and joy to our hearts. It's all in how we perceive those surprises, and what we make with our lives in giving back those thoughtful surprises whether with a smile, thought, well wishes, physical gift, or simply knowing that every day we are surprised to still be alive and loved. Thanks for your kindness and generosity Lori. I can count on enjoyable surprises in each of the yarns you spin, and get us hooked with those characters we love and hate in each book you share with all of us. You are such a dear friend, and inspiration to so many. I hope you and everyone were able to share this and every day with those you love. Take care of you my friend.

    I absolutely LOVE surprises but alas, I am too snoopy to get surprised by my family. I snoop and snoop until I find out what it is. This would be an awesome surprise to win since there is no way I could get this box open ahead of time. ;^)

    I like surprises because they always brighten your day. I am super nosy, so I usually figure out my gifts and other surprises ahead of time, which drives my hubby crazy lol. I also can't seem to keep quiet about surprises for other people, it's very hard for me to do. I try hard to keep quiet though! This really is another wonderful gift for one of your lucky readers, thank you!
