Giveaway: Quaker Robe + Slipper Set

27 Mar

Those nice folks over at Quaker found me:

3.26.09 026

You can’t even imagine how excited I was to receive this robe, pair of slippers (both made from natural materials) and three boxes of Quaker Simple Harvest Bars. Thanks, again Quaker (and Abi!) for finding me and giving me the opportunity not only to try these bars – but to also live a little more comfortably.

But WAIT… there’s more!

Are you as curious as my cat?

3.26.09 025

You have a chance to win this robe + slipper set as well!

Here’s the dealio:

  • Enter a comment on this post indicating why you should win this robe and slipper set
  • Earn an extra entry by linking back to this on your blog
  • If you don’t have a blog, send me an e-mail at onalobsterplacemat AT gmail DOT com and let me know why you read this blog
  • OPTIONAL: I asked Bill if he had any rule suggestions, and he said that anyone who sends him a size medium t-shirt can earn two extra entries. If you’re interested, email me for our address :)

Deadline:

  • All entries must be received no later than Sunday, March 29, by midnight. I will announce the winner on Monday, March 30, with a special bowl of oats. (That means if you’re mailing a t-shirt, you better mail it soon…)

    Ohhh, I have been coveting these sets! I should win because I’ve always wanted to own a fluffy terry cloth robe. When I was little, I thought it would make me fancy :)

  2. Marianne March 27, 2009 at 3:17 am #

    I should win because I haven’t won one yet ;) And haven’t owned a robe or slippers in, well, forever. And because Scone likes it.

  3. AnAppleADay March 27, 2009 at 3:18 am #

    Wow, thank you for wonderful giveaway!
    I’ve been wanting this so badly! do you mind letting Abi know that I would really love to do quaker giveaway too? pretty please ;]

  4. marafaye March 27, 2009 at 3:18 am #

    I NEED THIS ROBE!!! Why? because my current robe is from when i was 17 and it has serious bare patches.

    posting link now…

    hmmm maybe i can get some cool chicago t-shirts for you and bill…

  5. Sharon March 27, 2009 at 3:20 am #

    I wouldn’t mind relaxing with this lovely robe! And slippers are just awesome!

  6. Katie R March 27, 2009 at 3:30 am #

    I should win the robe and slipper’s set because my body deserves some pampering after the long days that I routinely inflict upon it. Working out 1-2 hours each day, commuting and working 11-13 hours a day, and sleeping 5-6 hours each night makes my body crave some luxury. This robe and slipper’s set would be perfect :)

  7. FoodsThatFit March 27, 2009 at 3:38 am #

    I would love these because they would be so comfy to put on after being on my feet for a crazy 12 hour shift in the ER!!!

  8. verbalriot March 27, 2009 at 3:42 am #

    I would love this robe and slippers because I spend way too much time doing homework and writing papers…I feel like having a robe would actually FORCE me to take some time and relax so I can put it to use and enjoy it! Besides, I’ll probably be reading a good memoir while wearing it ;)

    I’ve linked you back! Awesome giveaway!

  9. sihaag1 March 27, 2009 at 4:15 am #

    I really want to win the robe and slippers! I have never actually had a robe before (don’t worry, I’m not as deprived as I sound!) so I would love to experience a nice one such as the one you are giving away :)

  10. Brian March 27, 2009 at 4:33 am #

    I should receive this robe for two reasons. My house is freezing because my partner is cheap and won’t turn the heat up past 62. Everytime I get out of the shower I have to rush and dry off and run to my bed to get under the coversuntil I am warm.dry enough to get dressed! I have been late to work for this reason because I fall back asleep! Also, my toes get ice cold whenever I am home. I don’t wear shoes because I vacuum the floors and I don’t want to track dirt around, so my toes also always freeze! I would be sooo happy to curl up in a robe and drink some coffee, glancing at my slippered feet sitting up on the coffee table. What a life! :-)

  11. Brian March 27, 2009 at 4:34 am #

    P.S. The cat is tired of me sticking my feet under her furry belly to keep my toes warm when she is trying to sleep on the couch. :-)

  12. Anne K. March 27, 2009 at 5:12 am #

    This would be great to have to relax in after a long day of classes/practicing harp/working out! Haha, I love the pic of your cat staring at the robe. Too funny :D

  13. Hallie March 27, 2009 at 5:14 am #

    I really really need a new robe. My current one is probably 5 years old, and that probably says it all. My boyfriend constantly reminds me of this fact, too. (thanks, honey!)
    I’m liking to this contest on my blog too.

  14. Erica March 27, 2009 at 9:44 am #

    hahahhahahahhahah Bill cracks me up! So does the cat come with the giveaway ;) Hmm I think I deserve to win because I haven’t owned a robe in maybe 15 years and I think now is about time I start rockin one ;)

  15. Brandi March 27, 2009 at 10:39 am #

    awesome! I need this because I’m always cold in the morning, and I’ve never had a robe with a hood! What could be better? Plus, I have no slippers and my feet are freezing, all the time.

    I’m posting a link for you this morning :)

  16. Lindsey (Mrs.LC) March 27, 2009 at 11:18 am #

    I should win this robe and slippers because I don’t have any slippers and my current “robe” is practically threadbare and yuck!!

    haha and I loved the “send a size M t-shirt” lol. :)

  17. Lindsey (Mrs.LC) March 27, 2009 at 12:08 pm #

    P.S. I linked back in a post coming out at 11:45 this morning! :)

  18. Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) March 27, 2009 at 12:10 pm #

    Gotta love the Quaker fairy! Hmm..why do I need the robe!? Well, I guess we all need a bit of pampering!

  19. sals March 27, 2009 at 12:43 pm #

    ooh, that robe looks so soft and warm– I would love to win to be able to relax in comfort at the end of a long day!

  20. Erin March 27, 2009 at 12:46 pm #

    I’m not gonna lie, I should win this simply because I.am.awesome.

    ;)

  21. Lee March 27, 2009 at 12:47 pm #

    I should win because I have never worn a robe in my life (besides in the college dorm, I guess) and there’s no time like the present for trying new things.

  22. Erin March 27, 2009 at 12:50 pm #

    Oh, and I just linked this on my blog (www.walkinthisworld.com).

  23. greenbean March 27, 2009 at 1:28 pm #

    I should win this robe because I appreciate a good hoodie. And what could be better than a warm comfy robe with a hoodie. Its the small things that matter in life and this robe would make me smile. Good luck all!

  24. lauren (athlEAT) March 27, 2009 at 1:59 pm #

    I should win the robe because I am always freezing getting out of the shower. I live in an old house that doesnt have heat vents in the bathroom.

  25. Jess March 27, 2009 at 2:05 pm #

    I want the robe cause I live with a boy (not boyfriend) and I feel weird walking around in my towel!!!

  26. Jacquelyn March 27, 2009 at 2:11 pm #

    hmm I think I need a robe because I usually just sleep in boyshorts and I think my roomate is offended sometimes and gives me dirty looks when I get up in the morning with not much clothes on. This way she can give me dirty looks bc she is jelous of my cool robe :)

  27. Yasmin March 27, 2009 at 2:38 pm #

    Great giveaway! I should win this robe set because I am a pro at being lazy and chill-axing around reading blogs in my ratty grey robe I have right now. A new one would be nice :)

  28. Rae March 27, 2009 at 3:20 pm #

    Ohh, how fun!! hmmm…I should win…because…I love bubble baths after a long run and have NO robe to snuggle in after getting out of the bath!!

  29. JW March 27, 2009 at 3:37 pm #

    I should win this robe because never have I ever won anything! Also I live in the dorms and running back in forth to the bathroom in a towel can be dangerous!

  30. JW March 27, 2009 at 3:38 pm #

    I should win this robe because never have I ever won anything! Also I live in the dorms and running back and forth to the bathroom in a towel can be dangerous!

  31. sarahdbelle March 27, 2009 at 3:59 pm #

    I’d love to win this robe and slipper set to keep me warm on chilly mornings. I can just imagine how wonderful it would be to slip both of these on after a long workout and a hot shower.

  32. Betsy March 27, 2009 at 4:19 pm #

    If I win the robe I guarantee some cute pics of my cats snoozing on it, as they do now with my fuzzy nautica one. :)

  33. RunToFinish March 27, 2009 at 4:27 pm #

    Wait why isn’t it on your lobster placemat? :)

    I just recently discovered how much I love robes, so this would be perfecto!

  34. Ryan (Chase Daylight) March 27, 2009 at 4:55 pm #

    Oooh, all natural robe and slippers! I’m in…I don’t own anything as luxurious as that :)

  35. Sweet and Fit March 27, 2009 at 5:19 pm #

    I should definitely win this because I would get the most use out of it! I am home all day, all the time, and I need something to cuddle up in =) hehe Oh, and another reason – I live in my parents huge house and my dad is really frugal, so he never ever turns on the heat – so its always really cold in my house.

  36. leslieveg March 27, 2009 at 8:44 pm #

    Ooohhhh I love this robe!! And I really do love Quaker Oatmeal and it is one of my favorite Breakfasts!!!! So good for you and since Hubby has started eating it too, his cholesterol has DROPPED!!
    Thanks for the GREAT Giveaway!!!

  38. Paige March 27, 2009 at 8:59 pm #

    Because I have no robe OR slippers right now! My tootsies get so cold!

  39. Kaley March 27, 2009 at 9:05 pm #

    I should win this because…I probably have the best body for the robe. Let’s be honest…robes don’t look good on just anyone. ;)

  40. Rachelle @"Mommy? I'm Hungry!" March 27, 2009 at 9:18 pm #

    I would love this, after my nightly shower to snuggle in after the kiddos have gone to bed! Ahhh! And I know the kids would eat those granola bars right up!

  41. Cathy March 27, 2009 at 9:51 pm #

    I should win this robe because I have never owned a robe with a hood on it! What a cool concept! Also, I am currently wearing hand me down slippers from my Mother – so I definately could use those too. I would never go out and buy these items for myself. Also, I was a huge Quaker Oats granola bar fan for soooo many years. . . I’ve done my time with Quaker and deserve even more granola bars in my life! I live out of state so can’t get the t-shirts to Billie in time. . . the main reason I should win this package is – I’m an old lady – (48) and need to snuggle up and stay warm after a hard day at the office. Also – PA winters are so much colder than Maryland winters!:)

  42. luckytastebuds March 27, 2009 at 10:20 pm #

    Hi Rose!!! I should win this robe because Chicago gets reaaaally cold even in April and May…and I don’t own one. :( *sniff*

  43. Laura E March 28, 2009 at 2:09 am #

    I think I need to win because I have never owned a robe!

  44. Aimee March 28, 2009 at 2:14 am #

    I need that robe to wrap up in after my long runs!!

  45. Lara March 28, 2009 at 2:49 am #

    Oh, lordy… I need to win this giveaway for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is I’m a homeschooling Mom of four who also has her elderly father living with her; fluffy robes are the things my spa dreams are made of! We go through tons of oats in our house, used in everything from classic oatmeal to cookies; I even put it in my meatloaf.

    I only recently found your blog and am still working my way through the archives, but it brings a smile to my face anytime the little ones give mommy a break long enough to jump online and read it

  46. Maddy March 28, 2009 at 4:12 am #

    I have definitely been wanting one of these sets since they popped up on the blogworld! And if I had a medium shitrt I would totally send it to Bill… maybe I’ll steal one of my brother’s =)

  47. Carolyn G March 28, 2009 at 4:17 am #

    I need this robe because the one I have is horrible and it has holes in it and it’s just old. I need a new one!!!

  48. brooks March 28, 2009 at 2:31 pm #

    I keep seeing these robes pop up everywhere! I don’t even have a robe and would love to win!

  49. jennifer March 29, 2009 at 3:09 pm #

    OOoo I can’t believe I almost missed this…I want this robe because it would be perfect to wear around my dorm room, especially on chilly mornings since i have NO control over the temp of my room!

  50. ikkinlala March 29, 2009 at 3:53 pm #

    May Canadians enter? I should win because my robe is currently held together with safety pins.

  51. Sara S March 29, 2009 at 5:52 pm #

    I would love to win this prize! It’s a great one.

  52. jenngirl March 29, 2009 at 10:51 pm #

    I should win because as a totally stressed and exhausted college student, a nice robe and slippers would make studying a little more bearable…and I would really enjoy eating quaker oats while wearing the goods ;)

  53. Andrea [bella eats] March 30, 2009 at 2:39 am #

    I would LOVE to win the Quaker robe and slipper set to help me combat the extreme temperature swings we see in Virginia this time of year. 60* highs and 32* lows?!? Come on! :)

  54. Sara March 30, 2009 at 3:04 am #

    I should win this contest because I love Quaker oats and the products! Also, because my current robe is very old and at the moment is being used as a blanket in my dog’s bed :) So I really need a new robe!

  55. ~cb~ March 30, 2009 at 3:29 am #

    Oh I would love to win that and cuddle up in that big robe after a great run and a hot shower!!!

  56. Kelsey March 30, 2009 at 4:08 am #

    I’d love this! I adora quaker products and since I’m a college student, I would really like to have a cuddly and soft robe to study in! :]
