The Short Stop (Pick Whatever *You* Want) Christmas GIVEAWAY!

*Comments are now closed.

Last month, I mentioned that CSN stores (an online retailer where you can buy anything from Delsey luggage to Fiesta Dinnerware to Maclaren Strollers to Legos) offered me the opportunity to choose something I wanted from any of their 200 online stores.

Well, I chose something I've wanted for a long time - the Cuisinart Griddler - a panini maker that also acts as a flat griddle or grill.

My mother-in-law has one at her house, and every time we visit (without fail!), my husband and I pull out the lunch meat, the cheese, the pesto, the tomatoes - and we whip up some hot sandwiches.

I love it. I really love it! My husband and I just aren't cold sandwich people - but hot, gooey, cheesy paninis - we're all about that. We have been enjoying our new panini maker so much and I'm so glad we now own one.

So, when CSN first contacted me - I told them that I wanted the Cuisinart Griddler - but that if I was gonna have one, I'd also like one to give away to you.

But, then I started thinking - what if you don't want a Cuisinart Griddler? What if you already have one? What if there's something *else* that you'd really love to have this Christmas?

Like maybe...

A beautiful new Le Creuset teapot in this gorgeous Caribbean color. {swoon}

Or how about a Le Creuset mixing bowl and multi-colored prep bowls, or a couple of Le Creuest baking dishes. Or just a mix and match of all manner of Le Creuset goodies. (Have I ever told you how much I love Le Creuset? Oh, yes - I have!)

Or maybe you want a brand, spankin' new stainless steel Cuisinart Brew Central Coffeemaker.

Or how about this? A Cuisinart Mini Prep Food Processor- to make sauces and dips and do all of that chopping for you! But, not just one. TWO! One for you and one for a friend.

Today, because I love y'all, because I love Christmas, and because I love sharing with you the things that come my way, I'm giving away a $65 gift certificate to CSN Stores. So that you can pick whatever *you* want.

There are over 200 stores to choose from - thousands upon thousands of items.

$65 - to spend however you'd like!

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment answering this question:

What is your favorite Christmas movie? (I'm going with Jim Carrey's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". Love.)

To give you some more chances to win, you can get up to FOUR EXTRA ENTRIES by doing any or all of the following:

1. Subscribe to Short Stop via email or RSS. The form is on my sidebar. (If you're already a subscriber, let me know in the comments.)
2. Become a fan on Facebook - http://facebook.com/shortstopblog. (If you're already a fan, leave a comment letting me know.)
3. Post a link to this giveaway on Twitter.
4. Post a link to this giveaway on your Facebook page.

You MUST leave an additional comment for EACH of these things that you do so that the random thingy will count each of your entries. If you only leave one comment letting me know all of the things you did, you'll only get one entry. That would be so sad. This giveaway will be open until Sunday night, December 19th at 8pm. I'll let the random thingy choose a winner and I'll announce the winner on Monday mornin'.

Merry Christmas - from my little blog to you.

*Disclosure: A $65 gift certificate was provided to me by CSN stores so that I could happily give it away to you!
