The Soubrette Brunette's 11th Blogiversary Giveaway: Garden Party Time!

blogger giveaway the soubrette brunette

It's hard to believe that another year of blogging has gone by! While I'm not nearly as active on here as I once was (working full-time, owning a home, and having several creative projects on the side will do that to you), I still cherish this space – the outfits I've shared, the friends I've made, and the opportunities that have fallen in my dressed-up lap. 

When I started this blog 11 years ago, I didn't have any idea I'd still be publishing posts more than a decade later... or that I'd be writing for a living... or that I'd be interviewed in several publications... all as a direct result of starting The Soubrette Brunette! I'm thankful I took the leap all those years ago – and that there are still folks who take time to follow along and feel inspired by my personal fashion philosophy.

Every February, I host a big "blogiversary" giveaway to commemorate the start of The Soubrette Brunette and to thank you all for your support along the way. This year is a fun and flowery one! So without further ado... it's (garden) party time!

With help from my friend Val at Sungrove Blossoms, I've really leaned into the floral theme for this year's giveaway and curated a prize package that feels like a garden party in a box! My 11th blogiversary giveaway winner will receive a beautiful, blooming bounty. Keep reading to learn what's up for grabs and how to enter the blog giveaway.

The Soubrette Brunette's 9th Blogiversary Giveaway! [CLOSED]

blog giveaway the soubrette brunette

It's hard for me to believe... but I started this blog 9 years ago this month! 

My relationship with blogging (and with many of you!) goes back nearly a decade. I've made so many friends through this community. I probably wouldn't have gotten into marketing if it weren't for my blog.  And this creative outlet has been absolutely priceless. I may not have thousands upon thousands of followers or made much money from it... but I feel really thankful that I took the risk and started my blog.

the soubrette brunette giveaway

Of course, as I do every February, I have to celebrate my blogiversary by giving back to you! Although I would probably still be creating and blogging even if no one else cared, it means so much more because there are people who do care! And as a thank you for being here, I'm giving away three different prizes this year! Keep reading to find out all the details.


giveaway selkie trixie cosmetics pusheen shop

For this year's blogiversary giveaway, there are 3 separate prizes – so you have 3 chances to win! If you're a fan of Selkie, Trixie Cosmetics, or Pusheen, you're in luck because...

I'll be giving away:
  • $50 Selkie gift card
  • $25 Trixie Cosmetics gift card 
  • $25 Pusheen Shop gift card

While I love giving away physical prizes, I opted to go with gift cards this year for the sake of both convenience and variety. These are all digital gift cards, which means they can be sent via email and enjoyed right away! These are also 3 of my favorite brands at the moment and I'm excited for 3 followers to win something special. 


As always, you'll need to enter the giveaway through the Rafflecopter widget below. (If you're having trouble, please try on desktop! I've heard a few people have issues with this on mobile.) 

Just like my last giveaway, you will need to complete ALL ENTRIES in order to be eligible to win. (Yes, I will check to make sure you've done them all! Don't risk disqualification!)

One (1) winner will be chosen for each of the aforementioned prizes at random. That means 3 winners will be selected in total, 1 for each prize. *Note that I cannot accommodate requests for specific prizes – it's all the luck of the draw!* In the unlikely event of availability issues, comparable selections may be made. Limit 1 prize per winner.

This giveaway is open worldwide and will run from now until 11:59 PM (EST) on Monday, February 7, 2022. Giveaway winners will be chosen through the widget and contacted via email. Remember to include a valid email address in your blog post comment! I will never contact giveaway winners via any other method. Winners must respond to the email within 48 hours of being contacted or a new winner will be chosen. Once confirmed, winners will be displayed via the widget. 

This giveaway is not sponsored or endorsed by any brand or business other than The Soubrette Brunette. Please note that I am not responsible for international shipping unavailability or costs related to shipping, taxes, or related fees.

Thanks for entering and best of luck!

[CLOSED] The Soubrette Brunette's 7th Blogiversary Giveaway!

blog giveaway

I can't believe that my blog is seven years old! When I started The Soubrette Brunette, I really just wanted a place to document the fun clothes in my closet. I didn't imagine that it would turn into such an important part of my life. Thanks to my blog, I've made so many friends and was lucky enough to have a consistent creative outlet. I've never made much money from blogging, but it's meant a lot more to me than a source of income (and it was at least part of the reason I was able to do the full-time work I'm doing now). Blogging isn't as popular as it once was, but I'm really glad I have this little corner of the internet for my fashion and for my musings – and I'm really glad you're here, too!


If you've been following my blog for a while, you probably know what's coming: a giveaway! I always like to give something back during this time of year. One follower will win a really fun prize package that I've put together just for the occasion:

  • copy of The Great British Baking Show: The Big Book of Amazing Cakes

  • 14-ounce bag of pink Starbursts
  • pink heart sunglasses
  • and other assorted goodies!

Now that I've piqued your interest, you'll need to know how to enter and win! 
Read the rules below carefully (and be sure to follow them exactly!) to ensure you're eligible to win.

[CLOSED] The Soubrette Brunette's 6th Blogiversary Giveaway!

the soubrette brunette birthday blog giveaway

Six years ago, I decided to start a blog where I could share my outfits and connect with others in the blogging community. A lot has changed since then, both online and in my personal life. But I am always so glad I made that decision to start. Not only has it provided me with a valuable creative outlet and some really fun opportunities, but it's also allowed me to forge long-lasting friendships with some incredible people. Every February, I like to reflect on where I began and how far I've come since starting this little blog. And every February, I like to give back to my followers with a giveaway of goodies!

This year's prize package is a bit smaller than in previous years, but I tried to pick a few items that you'd all be excited about winning. :) Because I decided not to work with any giveaway sponsors this year (to make things a bit easier on myself, if I'm being honest!), that means you'll have fewer giveaway entries to worry about (which will make things a bit easier on you, too!). Here's what you need to know:
