In December, Natalie Jost (from Olive Manna) and I were brainstorming about collaborating on a project together, and eventually we (read: Natalie) thought of the creative idea to do a Valentine's theme giveaway: small paper-covered canisters filled with goods from the both of us.
We put together items inspired by our two shops, Olive Manna & Hooray, and we're giving away 2 canisters, one here on my blog and one on Natalie's.
The exact contents of each canister are a surprise - they're filled with paper items like heart confetti, tags, mailing labels, photo corners, & a lot more (you'd be surprised how much we fit into these tiny canisters, we got a little crazy with it!).

If you'd like one, simply leave a comment here to enter to win. Extra entries allowed for twitter/blog referrals. And don't forget to also visit Natalie's blog to enter for more chances at winning.

OMG--all this stuff looks so amazing! I would love to win this. My husband works as a bartender, and service industry employees NEVER get Valentine's Day off, so we'll be celebrating on the 15th...probably dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Melting Pot, and then home to a nice fire and to cuddle with our dogs :)

My girlfriend and I are pretty nerdy when it comes to Valentine's Day. This year, I'm thinking we'll just spend a night ignoring all the chores and playing video games into the night. <3
Also, threw in a tweet. :)

Oh, I love both Hooray and Olive Manna. And by the little peek, I can already tell it's my fave.
Valentine's Day this year = making sangria with my single roommates. We'll drink it and talk of romantic Valentine's Days to come.

I don't do too much for Valentine's except put together little cards & sweets for all the kids, I'm just not that into Valentines Day
Fantastic giveaway!!
Happy Monday!
What a great idea for a giveaway, Allie! I can think of so many fun things I would do with all of your pretties, not last on the list would be something special for my sweet husband on V-day.
Thanks so much for the giveaway offer!

yay, what a cute giveaway! I am still freaked out what to get my boyfriend for Valantines day! :)
Super cute! I bought my hubbs tickets to a US men's national soccer team game, so it would be fun to wrap the tickets in your gorgeous goodies for Valentine's day!
Oh how lovely and love that it's a surprise :)
I'm making Valentine garlands and am going to hang them around the house for all my family members to be surprised by.
Pick me!! Pick me!!
tres adorable! great giveaway!
i WANT! i WANT!
ahhh, the endless possibilities!
This is so adorable =)
how fun! i love suprises. the contents look really cute.
this little can is truly adorable. i love the little hearts everywhere. i use stamps to make my own cards and love the retro look it gives - very cute!
This giveaway is sooo cute! Thank you for the opportunity!
awww this is so adorable! thanks for the chance to win. one cute idea for valentine's day is to write little notes on different pieces of scrap book paper and roll them up. throw them into a mason jar decorated with a cute ribbon and give it to your loved one. make sure they only read one per day for as many strips as you make, they'll always be looking forward to the next day! <3
These canisters that you and Olive Manna made have a lot of love put into it. What a sweet giveaway you are both doing. Thanks so much and I hope that I win :)
I love this. I love making little parcels like this and sending them to friends.
ooh love! what a cool collaboration.
and that is the process of all great ideas! I would really like to win :)
(I guess that is kind of obvious lol)
Ooh, sounds like a sweet valentine! I'd love to win some Hooray and Olive Manna goodness. :)
Yeah, I love your shop and I just recently ordered a shopping list notebook from Olive Manna. I don't usually do much for Valentines Day, but there is so much cute stuff online this year, I can't help myself. We will probably be going out with friends to dinner since we both celebrated our 14th wedding anniversaries this year in Jan.
This is an altogether delightful giveaway!
This year I created my own valentines from scratch! The design involves a petal-envelope template and mini-envelopes filled with pink and red raffle tickets. I stamped XOXO on all the tickets and they peek out of the envelope when the petals are opened.
I'm probably more excited to give them than people are to get them. :-)
Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
love this idea! i just finished glittering about a dozen chipboard hearts and hanging them from the chandelier above our dining room table. it's delightful.
AW wow this giveaway just made my day! I would love to win this!
