Black Friday Survival Kits {Giveaway}

One of my favorite days of the year is Black Friday.  Seriously.  I've never gone out for the 'big deal', I just love being out and about crazy early, christmas music playing, sipping a peppermint mocha.  For the past, oh, 13 or so years I've been out in the wee hours.  I usually meet up with my mom and a sister or two if they happen to be out.  There have been years that I went out, came home and went back out again.  What can I say - I love crazy Christmas crowds!  This year there are lots of stores opening at midnight (or before), which means I might be pulling a complete all nighter.  Since most of the ladies on both sides of my family are ususally out too, I thought it would be fun to put together some BF Survival Kits for everyone.


Um...if you happen to be my mom, sister, m-i-l or s-i-l....stop reading!
******************************************************************************************
Each kit contains a few CLIF and Luna energy bars, Starbucks gift card, a cute little plastic ornament (Target dollar spot!) filled with mints, a pack of gum, bottle of water and a cute notebook to create the plan of attack! 

And they'll be packaged in these gussied up reusable shopping bags:

And since I love these kits so much - I'm giving one away too!  All you have to do is leave a comment (on this post) telling me why you love or (horror of horrors) hate Black Friday.  The giveaway will be open until Wednesday, November 16th.

Congratulations to Heather H who said:
Love this idea! I love Black Friday craziness because my mom and I hit it together. Truth be told, we don't really go for the big deals (although I did score an amazing tv last year), we just like the hustle and bustle. And the Peppermint Mochas!



Thank you to everyone that entered!  And I hope you ladies have a fun & festive Black Friday!
