GIVEAWAY: Holiday Memories with RetroViewer! [CLOSED]

Happy December, everyone! I don't know about you, but I'm already gearing up for the holidays. My tree is trimmed, I'm planning to bake cookies and make latkes, and I've done pretty much all of my holiday shopping. I absolutely LOVE finding the perfect gifts for people I care about. But if you're stuck on what to get one of your nearest and dearest, I may have the perfect solution.

Some of you may remember this post from October wherein I talked about RetroViewer – a nostalgic viewfinder that you can customize with your own images and text. I filled mine with photos of my closest friends and had a ton of fun creating it. I commented at the time that I thought this would make THE coolest gift. And now, you'll have the chance to get one for yourself (or for someone on your list)!

Here's the deal: one (1) lucky winner will receive their own Image3D RetroViewer. You get to choose the body color and customize your reel with seven (7) images – and you'll get free shipping, of course. You can include the photos that mean the most to someone you love and give it to them for the holidays... OR you can treat yourself and put it under your own tree to open! It's totally up to you. Learn more about how to enter below (it's easy, I promise).

Giveaway rules: This giveaway runs from now until 11:59 PM EST on Thursday, December 6. Because you'll need to get your order in by December 10 to get it in time for Christmas, I made this giveaway a bit shorter in length than others – so don't wait to get your entries in! This giveaway is open worldwide, but you must be a follower of my blog to enter. The winner will be contacted via email (so provide a valid email address, please!) and must respond to that email within 24 hours; otherwise, a new winner will be chosen. The winner will be announced via the widget after their acceptance has been confirmed. It will be up to the winner to place the order for their RetroViewer (with the complimentary promo code provided by Image3D) in time to comply with holiday shipping restrictions. Thank you for your support and best of luck!

Summer Nostalgia with RetroViewer

Credit for all photos: Emma Rizzo 

I know it's already October, but I'm still playing catch-up from the summertime... and I couldn't leave out this set of photos that Emma captured. We've made a lot of memories together, but this is definitely one photoshoot I won't soon forget. We were both good sports on this day, seeing as it was insanely humid and the mosquitoes were out for blood. I got SO many bites in the short amount of time we were out taking these (and was miserable for several days afterwards!). But it was definitely worth it to finally get some pictures with my mint green bicycle, a bouquet of dahlias from Flowerwell, and a fantastic keepsake that I'll talk about below!

Do you remember playing with ViewFinders when you were a kid? I definitely do. I had a bunch of them (they might still be somewhere in my parents' basement!) and used them all the time. So when Image3D reached out to me to make my own RetroViewer – their reel-viewer that you can customize yourself – I was struck by what an incredible idea it was. I was able to upload my own photos, customize with filters and text, and even choose the color of my RetroViewer.

Here's what the reel looks like when you're satisfied with your selections!

The process is SUPER easy and the shipping was surprisingly fast. The final product was even cuter than I anticipated! I included photos of my closest friends, but you could easily customize with photos of family members, coworkers, pets, your travels, and so much more. It's one of the coolest gift ideas I've seen in a while. If you're stumped on what to get someone for the holidays or an upcoming birthday, I think this is a truly unique way to show someone you care. Full disclosure: I did receive this product for free, but I seriously cannot say enough good things about it.

Really, one of the things I love about blogging in general is that it grants me the ability to capture a lot of memories. Sometimes, I feel a lot of pressure to do that, which is hard when time seems to be moving so quickly. I finally went apple picking over the weekend and did a little bit of fall decorating, but I still need to get some mums and some pumpkins! Fall is a busy time of year anyway, but I'm also trying to get ready to go on my birthday vacation(!) at the end of the month. I forget if I mentioned this, but I'll be in Disney World for my 30th birthday! It's finally starting to sink in... and I have lots to do before we leave – like get all my Halloween posts ready and put together my outfits for the trip. It's fun stuff to take care of though, rather than stuff I'd dread, so that always helps. :)

Have a great start to your week!
