Ooh, Something Shiny!

My new Kindle skin. So pretty! I couldn't resist.

Earlier this week I was browsing for Kindle covers when I ran across a book-themed skin. (Ugh, I hate the word "skin" when used with electronics. It sounds very Silence of the Lambs.) But this one is so pretty! Have you ever found something you never knew existed, much less that you might someday want – badly – and it's just so beautiful you can't stop looking at it? This was one of those. The book design is luscious, and perfect for an electronic library like the Kindle. The maker, GelaSkins, has lots of other nice designs too, but I kept coming back to this one. It was calling to me – it was howling to me. I bought it.

A Good Find Deserves a Giveaway

To celebrate I'd like to give someone a $25 gift code to buy something you find pretty – or comforting, humorous, enjoyable or utilitarian – on Amazon.

To enter, comment below telling me about an impulse purchase you've made and love (or hate), or something else spontaneous you've done. For extra entries, follow Rainy Days on Google Friend Connect or Networked Blogs (lower left sidebar - one entry each) and leave an additional comment for each extra entry.

This giveaway will start on 3/15/11 and end at 11:59 pm Pacific time on 3/28/11. Open to US and Canadian residents 18+. Limit one initial entry per person. I'll pick a winner using random.org and notify you by email, so be sure your email address is either in your profile or in your comment.

Winner Update 3/29/11

Congratulations to mandala, whose comment #142 was randomly selected as the Amazon winner! Thanks to everyone for sharing your impulse purchase experiences – I loved reading about them!

I had gotten my son an Ipod Touch from Ebay. He was saving for one and here I saw a great deal on it and didn't even think about it, just purchased it. One of the best buys that I've gotten and he's kept it with him for over a year now.
Thanks so much.

I bought some cool letters from oriental trading for my preschool classroom. It was an impulse buy and when it came it was taking up too much space in my room (in the box) I couldn't think of where was a good place to put it, so I stored it in a cupboard (out of sight out of mind) right?
Well I was cleaning today and found that impulse buy---never used, hubby wouldn't like it if he knew. Maybe the kids and I will use those letter stamps tomorrow HAHA

I bought a Coleman drink dispenser at a church bazaar. There were two and I got the smaller (it holds about a gallon and a half) and wish I had bought the larger one (maybe four gallons?) because I get so much use out of the little one, but it needs filling so very often.

BethElderton said...

About 10-12 years ago I bought a leather tote bag (not a purse) just because I liked it. I paid way more than I would ever normally pay for anything of the kind, but I am so glad I did! With no care other than cleaning the occasional sticky grand-baby hand print, it looks as good now--maybe softer!--as the day I bought it, and I use it constantly. Sometimes it's okay to just splurge.

Last week I participated in a silent auction at a Celtics game, where I bid $200 on a giant framed picture of the team from the night they won the championship in 2008. I honestly did not think I would win as it was a really nice picture with game-used net. Well turns out, I was the only bid and had to carry the thing home! I do love it though, it looks great on my wall!

I always wanted a remote controlled airplane. I decide to go with one of the lower cost affordable ones that use a reinforced styrofoam for the wing material. I took it out on its maiden flight and it banked with a light wind and came crashing down into the ground never to fly again.

I bought a spaghetti strap cocktail dress which has never been worn and is now too small. Thanks for the giveaway.

Amanda said...

Oh my gosh, that cover makes me want a Kindle even more!

Let's see, impulse buys...I'm coming up blank. Haha! As an artist, funds are always tight and when I want something I wait months for the best deal and then only snag it if I have a coupon, too! Boring, I know.

I do pick up cheap trinkets and doodads from yard sales and thrift stores, with only a vague idea that I'll upcycle them in a creative way...doesn't always work out, but the successes pay for the mistakes!:)

Thanks so much for the chance to win this!

I impulse buy dresses at Ross like there's no tomorrow... It's been about 50/50 whether I love them forever or wear them once and hate them... I guess when you spend less than $20 on a dress that's a pretty good ratio.

And I like going on impulsive trips. Like to Canada. :)

Spontaneous isn't me. Hmmm.... let me think. OK - I've got one! I won a $100 Ebay GC. I'm afraid of getting hooked on Ebay, so I don't like to buy anything there, but then I realized that my husband wasn't going to know what I bought, so I splurged and bought a bunch of video embroidery lessons from a woman whose yahoo group I was in. What a wonderful purchase! Right after that, she started having monthly lessons that use the videos I just "bought"! So now I can do all the lessons without having to buy them as I go!

I impulse bought a coach bag once upon a time, back when I had a little bit of extra in the savings. I've treasured that bag ever since!!

I bought a comforter from JC Penneys on impulse and it's the best purchase I ever made. 12 years later and it still looks like new after hundreds of washings and is the warmest comforter in the house.

I've had an inexpensive watch for years and when the battery needed replaced I went to get it replaced but saw a really nice watch at the store so I bought that and I love it.
