Freebie Friday: Holiday Extravaganza Edition

If you've ever been the recipient of a Very Mary gift or Magpie Mary purchase, you might have realized that Very Mary loves herself some adorable packaging. Like so:



This week's freebie is a little different, what with it being a holiday extravaganza and all. This week, there are prizes galore and (because she said so) Very Mary has come up with a few rules, too.

FIRST PRIZE:
One lucky reader will receive a patented Very Mary gift wrap set, including several sheets of vintage sewing pattern tissue, 10+ yards of vintage crochet thread, 50 darling handpunched vintage sheet music tags, and a stash of vintage buttons and vintage keys. PLUS, that lucky duck will also receive a $15 gift certificate to use here or here or both. Or, if preferred, Very Mary will happily let you give the gift certificate to a third party. The winner can choose between an e-certificate or a real paper certificate.



SECOND PRIZE:
A second lucky reader will receive a patented Very Mary gift wrap set, including all the same goodness as the first prize winner, minus the coveted gift certificate.

THIRD PRIZE:
A third lucky reader will receive a set of 50 sheet music tags to adorn the tops of pretty presents.



But wait, there's more:
This week, EVERYONE is a winner with this: the etsy shop discount code. Now through next Friday, December 12, please shop at either of Very Mary's etsy shops for a 25% discount on your entire purchase (less s/h). Simply enter this code {BLOG} upon checkout in the "notes to seller" field. Wait for an adjusted invoice or pay through Paypal as usual, then await your rebate.

Now for the rules:

for 1 entry: leave a comment on this post
for 5 additional entries: post about the contest on your blog
for 25 additional entries: make a purchase at either of Very Mary's etsy shops (remember to use the discount code!)
for 50 additional entries: refer a friend and, if that friend makes a purchase at either of Very Mary's shops and mentions that you sent her/him, voila! (not wah-lah, Darla. promise.)

The holiday extravaganza ends at midnight EST on Friday, December 12. Winners will be selected Saturday, December 13 and prizes will be sent Monday, December 15. Much luck and holiday cheer!
