holiday giveaway!

if you are reading this right now i like you - a lot.

and during this holiday season i want to thank you for reading this little blog of mine by giving you something that is not only practical but extremely functional...

SOCKS!

but not just
any socks people, these are the rolls royce of socks. KN socks to be exact.

karen neuburger (KN) started out simply making comfy pajamas in her basement. little did karen know that she was about to instantly be catapulted into the big leagues once oprah (the oprah) featured her pajamas on her famous favorite things show.

those ridiculously soft pajamas were the start of a whole KN empire including men, women, kids, home and gift lines. and socks, don't forget socks.

i'm lucky to be giving away four pairs of the KN chenille feet treats cupcake socks. how cute are these? they are cozy too, i'm wearing the blue bell pair right now.

all packaged and ready to eat wear - check out the cherry on top.

now before all of my favorite male readers get in a huff that this is a GIRL prize think about how your mother, grandmother, girlfriend or wife would appreciate these socks when their toes are about to fall off cause you're too lazy to turn up the heat.

it's even gift wrapped for you already!

how to enter:

1. look at your feet - right now.


i'll wait.

....

2. tell me what your feet currently are wearing in the comment section

your feet could literally be wearing anything - sneakers, socks, red stilettos, tall black boots, slippers, or even... nothing at all. wink wink.

i will choose the FOUR winners on wednesday, december 17th and ship out the KN feet treats to the lucky recipients just in time for the holidays.

this contest is open to all plum readers not just bloggers - so lurkers, delurk! but if you aren't a blogger and i don't have your email address please also include it in your comment.

thanks again for reading and good luck!

What up! My feet are wearing...nothing! Just some pink nailpolish!

Shel said...

Right now, my feet are neekid as the day I was born. Oh wait, there's a bit of nail polish left on one toe.

Elizabeth said...

What a cute giveaway! My feet have nothing on them, unless you count being wrapped up in a blanket?

Renee said...

OMG, in total honesty, my feet are wearing sparkly silver penguin socks from the dollar store. Don't judge me!!

pistols at dawn said...

I have no use for the socks, but I laughed heartily at "or even.....nothing at all. wink wink." How's that for dedicated readership?

allthewine said...

I'm wearing calf-length slipper socks that make my feet sweat five minutes after I put them on. They get the job done though!

I want edible socks! nom nom nom

LBluca77 said...

I have on my rainbow striped socks that go up past my knee. They not only keep my legs warm at night but they make your legs look like a clown and they support all gay and lesbian causes.

Maxie said...

My feet are wearing gold glitter high heels from payless.

Okay, so I went and put them on so I could leave this comment. The important thing is that I own them.

I'm kind of upset you didn't say you were giving away "5 foot" socks. I wanted someone else to feel like an idiot!

Julie C. said...

Well, seeing as my new home office has some kind of insulation problem, I should probably be wearing socks or slippers right now. Instead, my little tootsies are bare and shivering to death under the desk. Also quite cold are my hands and nose (irrelevant, but true).

It's not so bad though, because when I get in bed, I can warm my icy feet of doom on my husband's warm legs. Unfortunately, he generally feels that this is torture and a crime against humanity, and demonstrates his passionate opinion by screaming at me to get my freezer burned toes on my side of the bed. For some reason, that never stops me from trying to use him as a foot warmer.

So, basically, if I won these socks, Izzy would be the real winner :). You could warm both our hearts, my feet and his nighttime experience all at once.

Arielle said...

I love a good pair of comfy socks! Brookstone sells AMAZING socks called Nap Socks. Heaven. Anyway my feet are naked (eek!).

Sarah said...

My feet are naked.

I am wearing trouser socks. buddharat@gmail.com

erin said...

I'm wearing white socks with grey toes and heels. They're looking a little sad though, as in, losing their white-ness. They're also not necessarily pleasant smelling due to me having worn them all day. TMI, I know.

ANG* said...

gray socks with tan and black stripes with a hole in my left big toe. <-- FAIL. i've been wearing them all day and now i'm in bed and refuse to take them off cause my apt is so freakin cold. hmmm thats not very exciting at all...

Marie said...

Oooooo I would love me some socks! I even sleep with them on in the winter. Currently I am sporting ankle length, thick white, cotton socks. I know, not very impressive, but they are what I wear to bed. With my pjs.

raych said...

hanes black ankle socks & black chucks that need to be cleaned

adriana said...

How cute are those!!! I love socks. Right now I'm wearing plain brown work socks, but I'm about to put on my fuzzy purple deliciously warm ones!

Dave said...

I'm wearing a lovely pair of ski socks....Navy blue on top, with charcoal gray on bottom. Nice and toasty in this weather.

PS I bet my pregnant wife's feet would LOVE a pair of these socks! Believe it or not they are actually on her Christmas list.

egan said...

Currently wearing your basic white athletic socks, post-soccer game must. I like socks.

andrea said...

Pink plaid Chucks... there's a picture of them in my most recent blog post. I basically live in them.

Chad said...

I am wearing the kind of socks that used to be very robust and awesome, but have warn down... so now they keep my feet just warm enough to have some sock worth. They are my favorite kind of socks because everyone tells me to throw them away.

jenniferalaine said...

Haha this is so fun! I'm actually not wearing any socks right now though :( Sadness!

Shannon said...

A new pair of Hanes socks that I got at Garden Ridge Thanksgiving day! It was 6 pairs for only $2! What a steal!

Dr Zibbs said...

Wearing nothing. My email is Lebner1 at Yahaoo.com (I'm a new reader)

Dr Zibbs said...

Whoops. That's Yahoo.com

Deutlich said...

My feet are totally wearing skin. I just rolled outta bed.

Nilsa said...

Now this? Is a totally excellent idea. I might have to borrow it from you in the coming weeks!

So, this morning, I put a little lotion on my super-dry feet. Then I snuggled them into my super thick wool socks. And pulled my (fake) fur lined boots over them. Look, I had to walk the dog and it was 10 degrees this morning when I woke up. Brrrrr!

lspoon said...

Stockings.

They were wearing shoes not 10 minutes ago but my feet already started hurting :)

Matt said...

You like me!! You really like me!!!!

and I go barefoot.

I'm a rebel like that.

teen said...

you got me. tall black boots :)

Tipp said...

My feet are bare with a slight coat of fur on them. Wait, before you dry heave a little it is because I have a doggie sitting on them in an effort to keep the frostbite from coming to my tootsies. I make Lil and Ellie change shifts every couple of hours. Socks would be better though.

poo poo said...

Lexi Poo ~ My feet are wearing gray Banana Republic socks and my red Gianni Bini shoes that I have had for 5 years that you always told me to throw away but that I kept at work so that you wouldn't make fun of me for them. They are great work shoes! Pregnant ladies need comfy socks! That is all.

Sara Jane said...

Right now I'm wearing Ugg Slippers. They're pretty amazing. The socks are so cute! What a good gift idea.

Julie said...

My feet are wearing a pair of slip-on Merrell's that the ex gave me... I should've burned them but they're too comfortable. No socks today..

Ashley said...

My feet are wearing maroon-ish tights and tall black boots (point toed, with a 4 inch heel) that have buttons up the side. They were made in China. Size 6.

What? You wanted details, right!? :)

3carnations said...

I am wearing tan trouser socks (does that make me sound 100 years old?) and brown LL Bean slip on shoes so I don't fall flat on my face on the ice.

If those socks are anything like the fuzzy pink socks I wear around the house, they are wonderful!!!

teamtaseff said...

My feet are sporting an old pair of paul frank red flip flop slippers! Happy Holiday Alexa!

Kristen said...

My tootsies are wearing blue cashmere socks and navy blue all-stars.

Because I'm stylish and cute.

You have my email. I'll be waiting for my new socks! I'm soooo excited!

Anonymous said...

currently wearing flip flops, only for under the desk but I still can't get rid of them! Delurking finally, you are hilarious!

meredithmcd@gmail.com

shel said...

(delurking)

We kind of run in the same circles as far where we eat (bar cento, etc) but I'm a 30-something blogger so I don't think we've ever met! LOL

Anyway, my stay-at-home Mommy feet are wearing white socks (have to take the kids to the Y for gym class in a while so I have to have them on, otherwise they'd be naked)and fuzzy slippers.

longredcape said...

I am wearing some black Nine West flats (these, in black: http://www.amazon.com/Nine-West-Womens-Ballet-Brown/dp/B000MUUNLY/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1228401904&sr=1-18).

The guy I'm dating said they look like "pilgrim shoes." I can't say that I disagree.

brookem said...

woo! i love cupcakes so this picture got me excited. i also love warm socks.

im wearing some black socks with little....stars on them?, under some black boots.

Ashley said...

Oh this is adorable - I love this giveaway! The boy toy will love it too (if I win) because my feet are always frigid. He says it feels like I'm dead below the ankle. But I digress...

My feet are wrapped in blue and yellow argyle socks underneath a pair of black patent leather stiletto boots that rose just above the ankle. Surprisingly, much more comfortable than it sounds.

Melissa said...

My feet are wearing a pink pedicure, sterling silver toe ring(right foot, 2nd toe) plus a pair of 3 inch, black, pointed-toe, snake skin, stilettos!

missy6148@aol.com

Mel said...

Just pulled on my burnt sienna suede boots!

Becky said...

Oh - I love the packaging!

Shaba said...

Dear Lord, look at all the comments! People love socks!
And btw, I love Lady O-to-the-prah! Today I'm wearing black and white plaid patent leather flats. They're super cute and they make a clicky click noise when I walk (just like heels! only comfy!)
Happy Thursday!

Chele said...

my feet are wearing some flaky white shiny white nailpolish. Plus my Hello kitty socks from h&m in greym red, black, white and grey.

Alice said...

yay! i'm wearing boring white socks, but with hot nine west boots on top of them. although technically they're hot hand-me-down nine west boots. WHATEVER. they are mine now and they look HOT.

Aaron said...

Socks that look like cupcakes? My wife would hump me for a week straight!! I have got to win!!!
Work shoes and navy blue socks.

Idea #527 said...

I love giveaways!

I am wearing black knee high socks with my black stiletto knee high boots. Once I discovered that it's a lot easier to zip up my boots with the knee high socks, I always try to wear the tall socks with them!

Kate said...

Yay socks!

I'm wearing North Face snow boots (one, sadly, has a stuck zipper so I can't close it) and black socks with snowflakes on them.

Megan said...

My feet have on black trouser socks and some black ballet flats...

mtw816@gmail.com

EP said...

How fun! The packaging is totally cute!

Currently, my feet and toesies are naked. Whenever I have time to get ready in the morning, I always lazily get myself together. Whatever goes on feet comes last so they don't get too hot. *shrugs*

Candes said...

My footsies have Hanes cushioned cuff socks on tehm.

*Coop* said...

navy opaque tights AND white Hanes socks with the pink toe. It's cold outside. :-(

Noelle said...

That's a great contest! My feet are wearing, in this order:

a yellow "special today" sticker that I stepped on, my favorite green and purple Puma sneakers that have not failed me yet (please don't you ever die!), boring black socks that are thinning in the heel, Carolyn brand nail polish in "West Side Highway Pink" on my toes, and two surgical pins. (Right foot only.)

Shannon said...

Yay! I haven't posted before and read a few times so here goes: today, my feet are cozy in blue stripey socks and Rocket Dog engineer boots. My newest and most favorite pair of shoes. :) And of course, red toenail polish.

Lacey Bean said...

I love the cupcake packaging!! I'm wearing Ugg boots with no socks... which is probably why my feet smell when I go home at night. :(

Arjewtino said...

I'm wearing black leather work shoes and NOT flip-flops like I would prefer.

The Modern Gal said...

Rolls Royce of socks? Sign me up.

I'm wearing knee-high socks with snowflakes and faux uggs, both from Target.

KerryAnn32 said...

I need socks!!! Our little thief Max takes them all the time so today I'm wearing my husband's dark ones! :(

Fizzgig said...

Honest to goodness, I'm wearing my "its all about me" socks, with my k-swiss sneakers. My socks are black and white, my shoes are white. I'm pretty sure it breaks some fashion rule but I don't know anything about all that.

Perhaps I need direction. Like, free sock direction. I could also enjoy a cupcake I don't have to eat, or do 800 jumping jacks to burn off. =)

bethis said...

if anything will cause me to delurk is is free shit.

i am wearing nothing even though i am at work. red toenails, sitting crosslegged in my chair, shoes are kicked off under the desk. when i hear someone come down the hall, i have to frantically try to get them back on.

it's fun.

Jess said...

Those socks are so cute! What a great stocking stuffer! I'm wearing black leather knee-high boots.

Holy Crap. 70 comments. My feet are wearing sweet reebok sneakers with no socks. Because I can.

Karen said...

No socks today. Patent leather black peep toe heels.

(Obv, I would prefer to have on just socks...)

Christina said...

I am wearing my fall splurge shoes...
black heels with a grey argyle print on the toe and on the sides, spectator style toe and trim,a black bow and a three inch heel.

totally impractical seeing as they only go with about three outfits but I love them.

Misty said...

At work so I am wearing sienna and chocolate brown heels with bow. You gave me a compliment on them a few days ago so that's sure to win me a nice pair of socks, right??

Melange said...

I am wearing my beautiful red stiletto pumps which I haven't worn in months because I sprained my ankle. No socks. My footsies are cold. I could use some cute fuzzy socks to wear with my beautiful red heels.

stealthnerd said...

Currently my little toe-sicles are in black hi-top Chuck Taylors. I tend to live in Chucks but my office is so cold today that I would kill to be wearing my knit slipper socks (you know the kind with the grippies so you don't wipe out on your hardwood floor?) and Uggs!!

Hopeful winner :) said...

Im currently wearing fuscia and pink checkered knee highs complete with lovely worn holes at the bottoms and toes. lets just say i could use the socks.

Jamie said...

Oh these are so cute!

I'm wearing plain white Hanes socks. So boring. Obviously I need cute cupcakey packaged socks!

ballerinatoes said...

PomJob said...

Well, aren't these just the cutest little socks ever!

I currently have just a sheet covering my feet. If I could wear anything, I think I'd go with flip flops.

Megkathleen said...

Fun contest and I love me some warm socks so I better win.

I am wearing cream colored round toe slingback heels.

Far said...

Katelin said...

Always a Bridesmaid said...

Ummm... totes ridic... but I have on Isotoner-esque slippers (the kind a grandma would wear) that have cat faces on them, complete with wire whiskers. Don't judge. They were a gift from Santa.

Narm said...

I'm wearing what I always wear - a pair of roughed up cowboy boots. Does this make me weird? No - my mustache does.

niney said...

i'm wearing nude nailpolish so it doesn't clash with my awesomely colorful foot tattoo!
prettykitty [@] gmail.com

well-intentioned heartbreaker said...

seriously, this always happens.

i keep a spare set of flats under my desk for days where i wear boots/something uncomfy on my feet to work. which is great, until i wear flats to work. and then kick them off while i'm at my desk. and then don't look down when putting on shoes to get up. and then taadaaaaaa at some point in the day i look down at my feet and i'm wearing one of the white flats i wore to work, and one of the black ones i keep here.

so yeah, i'm 5 and my shoes don't match. classic.

Hotch Potchery said...

Christmas socks...green background with dachsunds wearing Santa hats. Yeah, I am at work.

LiLu said...

My feetsies are TOTALLY NAKED right now. And they're looking at you with bedroom eyes.

TraciJ said...

poodlegoose said...

Red men's Old Navy slippers. The kind with the actual rubber shoe part on the bottom. Super comfy.

Bayjb said...

Sweet lord woman, over 100 comments! You're smoking hot.

Right now my feet are wearing nothing. They are bare and glistening a bit from lotion i put on them. Momentarily though, my RL slippers will be on them.

BousMama said...

My feets have some fugly black lace up shoes on whose soles I must sadly say, are only staying on through the miracle of a hot glue gun. Sad.

teen said...

girl you got 103 comments about socks!

echidna girl said...

Maroon tights. But they are too big, so very soon I imagine that both my feet and my legs will be wearing nothing at all. Hopefully this will not happen while I am walking to work.

Ashley said...

I'm sitting at my desk at work reading your blog..and I'm wearing my half way up my calf high heeled black boots.

Jennifer said...

I'm wearing black tube socks (knee high) with white and yellow stripes AS WELL AS brand spanking new slippers from Victoria's Secret that were FREE (28 dollar value!) because I bought matching PJs. Lovely. Also, I posted a picture on my blog, check it out:

http://jenniferberthiaume.blogspot.com/2008/12/these-secret-words.html

Princess Pointful said...

It is a work day, so just plain old black socks. I'm kind of disappointed I did this today and that I am neurotically honest because two days ago they were pink polka dots with cats, which are clearly about twenty two billion times cooler!

Hillary said...

I'm at work right now (and it's raining) so my feet are very boring - black socks and black leather loafers. My feet really wish they were wearing my fuzzy slippers.

Mona said...

Wow! My feet are bare and cold right now! I would love some warm cozy socks that i can wear on my cold wood floors!!

Tia said...

I'm wearing some tan colored socks with grey, green, white, and maroon polka dots that my SIL gave me last year for Christmas. New socks would be awesome!

Carolsue said...

I am wearing leather, fur lined slipper boots.

Allison M. said...

Pick me, pick me - only not pink please

Erica Ortiz said...

Cramped and stuffy work heels. :( Need some comfy socks! ;)

Lacey Bean said...

Wow I'm like the 115th comment. My chances of winning are AWESOME! Hahah. Currently I am wearing Puma tube socks under black rainboots. :)

Miss Shugarman said...

currently my feet are fitting comfortably inside my black velvet flats.

you know- black velvet, and that little girl smile.

Mo said...

Horrific wedge shoes with holes in the bottom... that don't feel very good condsidering it is well below zero today. I should really invest in some new shoes....

Maris said...

Black boots...BUT don't worry. Underneath said black boots, I'm wearing red socks with gingerbread men.

georgia peach said...

I am wearing socks that are a little damp from doing the dishes and splashes. I need to take them off and put on my fuzzy slippers!

Stephanie Jansky said...

I am wearing black boots....with black socks. Not very exciting.

Jenn Vojta said...

I am wearing black tights and PLUM boots. They are slouchy and suede and I love them. They are perfect for prancing around downtown on a cold snowy day (once they have been waterproofed that is). In fact one of the Trolley drivers said I had some sweet kicks. I smiled and then rode for free.

Carolyn G said...

I am wearing plain white socks and my yellow "I just realized, I don't care" Happy Bunny slippers.

Laurel Miltner said...

I'm wearing an old pair of argyle socks I stole from my dad when I was in high school. They're gray with navy, maroon and white argyle design. They're a little too big for my feet.

And on top of the socks I have black ballet-style not-quite-flats with a knot detail. (I know black and navy don't technically match. I accidentally grabbed the wrong shoes on the way out today.)

What an embarrassing day to admit what's on my feet!

Sam said...

1 reebok pump and 1 water sock... okay. I'm lying. I'm naked... but I have socks on my feet.
