The holidays are creeping closer, and just when you think the festive mood couldn’t possibly get any brighter—here comes a little surprise: our very first Holiday Giveaway Week! Yes, you read that right. For seven days straight, I’ll be sharing daily giveaways featuring some of my absolute favorite finds from this past year. Think of it as a joyful round-up of 2017’s best “things,” the ones I’ve loved and used endlessly—and the ones I know you’ve been eyeing, too.
Honestly, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate this season of giving than by sharing a few of the pieces that made my year. Consider it my personal thank-you note, wrapped in ribbon and sprinkled with a little holiday sparkle.
How it Works
The rules are simple, because nobody wants complicated steps during this already hectic time of year. You can enter all seven giveaways, or just the ones that feel like a fit for you—it’s completely up to you.
Here’s how to join:
- Head over to my Instagram.
- Look for the giveaway post (you’ll recognize it right away).
- Make sure you’re following both me and the brand featured in that post.
- Leave a comment under the photo tagging three friends who might love to join in, too.
That’s it! A few taps, a little festive spirit, and you’re in the running. Just remember: entries through the blog comments won’t count—everything needs to happen on Instagram.
And because I know how easy it is to miss a post during the holiday rush, I’ve made it even simpler to stay on track. Follow the hashtag #ThefashionguitarBigGive on Instagram, and you’ll be notified the moment each new giveaway goes live. No refreshing your feed obsessively, no FOMO—just daily doses of holiday cheer waiting for you.
Why a Giveaway Week?
Over the years, this little space has become so much more than a blog or an Instagram feed. It’s a community—a place where we share style inspiration, celebrate creativity, and laugh over our love for everything from cozy knits to the perfect red lipstick. This year in particular has reminded me of just how supportive and connected this community really is, and I wanted to end it on a high note.
A single giveaway didn’t feel like enough. Seven felt right—one for each day, one for each chance to surprise you, one for each reminder of how much joy there is in sharing the things we love.
The Spirit of the Season
Of course, the holidays are about so much more than gifts. They’re about gathering, about slowing down (at least a little), and about reflecting on the moments that shaped us. But there’s also something special about the delight of unwrapping a little something new, about discovering a product or brand that feels like it was made just for you. That’s the feeling I wanted to bring to this giveaway week.
These aren’t random items—they’re things I’ve personally fallen for. Pieces that earned their place in my wardrobe, beauty shelf, or daily routine. Things that made 2017 more stylish, more fun, and, in their own way, more memorable.
A Few Thank-Yous
None of this would have been possible without the incredible creatives I get to work with day after day. Sabrina Meijer, whose photography captures everything with such warmth. Zann Parker, whose makeup artistry makes every shoot feel magical. And my ever-patient creative assistant, Ashleigh Magee, who somehow keeps everything moving smoothly even during the holiday madness. This giveaway is just as much about celebrating them as it is about celebrating you.
Let the Fun Begin
So, as the year winds down and the holiday lights twinkle a little brighter, I hope this week of giveaways adds some extra cheer to your season. Whether you enter all seven days or just one, I can’t wait to share these favorites with you—and maybe send a few of them straight to your doorstep.
After all, isn’t that what the holidays are about? Sharing joy, spreading love, and finding little moments of sparkle wherever we can.
Happy Holidays—and let the giving begin!
