a giveaway: because i love y'all

Good morning lovelies! Happy Saturday! I'm spending the day moving but just wanted to take a little time today and thank everyone for their support for Spike the Punch (and also the small group of super encouraging girls I met through blogging that inspired me to create my little jewelry biz!). To the darling folks I've chatted with on Twitter, Instagram, and Etsy, you've all been so lovely. I can't tell you how much the patience, advice, and kind words I've received have meant. It hasn't been easy working my day-job and running home to play jewelry maker but you've all made it such a pleasure. And since I can't have you all over for cocktails, I thought I'd share the next best thing, a fun little prize for one of you.
These are a few things that I own (and love!) and can't wait to share with the winner: Deborah Lippmann polishes in Today Was a Fairy-tale and I Know What Boys Like and a Rebecca Minkoff metallic pouch with the words "Good things come in small packages" (just a note: I'm not affiliated with either of these brands).

All you need to do to enter is comment on this post telling me one of your favorite things, whether it's a food, a beauty product, a movie, whatever! I look forward to getting to know each of you a little better. Please include your first name and email address or Twitter handle if you don't have contact info linked to your profile and I'll announce the winner next Sunday.

  3. My friends are everything to me and it doesn't matter where life takes me, they are always there to cry, laugh, and support. I'm very grateful to have such a beautiful group of friends, so that's my favorite "thing" in life: Friendship.

  5. Right now my favorite thing is Twin Peaks. My Mom never used to let me watch the show when it was originally on the air because I was like, five years old. Thank you, Netflix...which I guess is also one of favorite things.

  6. Tough question...I have lots of favorite things, so I'm gonna go with a favorite movie of mine: Love Actually. It's such a great holiday movie and I never get tired of it! Has a great soundtrack too, btw!

    Hope my next favorite thing can be this giveaway!;)

  7. I can't live without my Tom Ford Sunglasses, my IPhone and my Archie Grand/Jcrew journal. Without these three things my life would incomplete. Looking sophisticated, following fashion bloggers and being creative are three things that make me......ME!

  9. My favorite thing is my dad. He still acts like a 5 year old and even when he is completely stressed out he has a smile on his face. I have moved far away from home so he will now email me cute messages to say hello! And even though I refuse to play him in monopoly (because he cheats! Which he wears he doesn't) I love him and miss him everyday!

  10. This is so amazing! Elizabeth, you're so thoughtful!
    My favourite beauty products definitely include my Chanel collection. Sometimes you just need to see the word "CHANEL" while you're washing your face in the morning, am I right?

  17. My favorite thing is actually more of a memory. I remember sitting on the living room floor drawing while my grandma cooked in the kitchen & my grandpa would be sitting on the couch reading the paper. She'd put on Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams and Tony Bennett. She and I would sing and when our favorite parts came up, we'd stop what we were doing and look at one another and sing extra loud. I can still see her smile, hear my grandpa's laugh & remember the way her cooking smelled whenever I hear Sinatra, Williams & Bennett. I miss them more than anything. My name is Ace and my email is ello_ace@yahoo.com

My first time in New York I made my girlfriend come with me to the orginal Tiffany & Co. at 5am to grab coffee and eat right in front of the window. It was amazing. Even little things like so make me happy.

  23. Okay well my favorite "thing" is Manhattan. It's where I currently live, go to school, created some of the best memories with my loved ones (parents, cousins, boyfriend, and of course friends), where I'm going to school and bettering myself through education, and where I get inspired on the daily though culture, food, people, and of course the fashion! All these things I've mentioned are some of my "favorite" things but Manhattan helps me combine all of them. It's also the first place I heard about Spike the Punch after asking a girl in Starbucks where her amazing necklace was from! So if it wasn't for Manhattan I wouldn't of had this opportunity to enter this giveaway ;) Merry Christmas all!! xox

  70. Hi!

    My fave lipstick ever is Covergirl's Lip Perfection Lipstick in DIVINE. The formula is sooo creamy & moisturizing. I also love that it's SO pigmented & that it stains because that means little to no re-applying throughout the day.

    My favorite beauty/skincare product is Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Serum. It's a highly concentrated oil that you put on your face before bed. In the AM, you wake up to perfect, fresh skin and a smooth complexion. Plus, it smells lovely!

  91. One of my favorite... Well person is my mother. She has always been there for me. Yeah at times she'll be a bit strict, but at the end of the day she is my mom and she just wants the best for me. I think back to memory of mine that brings a tear to my eye. Fyi My mom has always been practical not really a dreamer type person. Well when I was in first grade I began fashion designing. I was sketching whatever came to mind that I thought looked pretty. One summer I completely stopped sketching. (No inspiration). At that time, I didnt even know if my mom knew about my sketches. Well one day she took me to her desk and sat me down with magazines for inspiration and told me you have to keep sketching you have to keep doing what you're doing. I was sooo touched by the thought that she supported and encouraged my dream of designing. Just typing this has a tear coming out right now. But my mother is my favorite person and she will always be.

    My favourite thing right now is my new Marc by Marc Jacobs Holiday Pavé Katie ring in black diamond that I bought on Boxing Day. I've been wanting this ring forever (the regular one) and was going to buy it during my trip to Europe if I had the chance to visit Paris. Turned out that I could only stay in Belgium in my two-week vacation. So you can imagine how thrilled I was to find it discounted for Boxing Day sale!
