It’s that time again, friends! GIVEAWAY time! I haven’t done this in far too long and I’m so sorry that I haven’t. This time it’s for the ultra sweet BAMBUD by REVEAL Shop. These bad boys / gals were featured on Gizmodo and are a hot little alternative to the typical white buds that we see all too frequently.

Here’s a tidbit from REVEAL about the product:

These eco-friendly wooden earphones are must-have iPhone 4, iPad and iPod accessories. Consciously handcrafted with all natural, pure bamboo, these wooden earphones arrive in a handsomely handmade, reusable bamboo box.

We are proud to say that the Huffington Post and Thrillist both named our bamboo earphones as one of the “Best Green Gifts for Men”!   (Although we have to add that women love them just as much as men do!)

Works great with most audio devices including: iPhone 3, iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod, MP3 players, CD players, DVD players, PSP, computers, and other music gadgets.

Bamboo is ultra durable, and it’s got none of that strange BPA and phthalate stuff that is in plastic, it’s naturally great looking (no paints or dyes on top needed) and its clean, classic look is always in style no matter what season it is.  In addition, it’s the fastest growing woody plant on earth, eager to help eat up all the yucky carbon dioxide and produce fresh, yummy oxygen for us humans.

So how can you get your ears on these? Simple. Until May 30th, just leave a comment on this post and “LIKE” the urbanebloc.com Fan page at facebook.com/urbanebloc. Do both, and I’ll draw and announce the winner on June 1st. You can like and comment as much as you like, however only the first entry counts. Check out other REVEAL Shop products – I’m absolutely obsessed (especially when you look at the iPad cases, yeeesh they’re nice for guys and gals). Open only to Canadian residents.

Good luck (Michelle Phan styles).

Late last year I had the opportunity to attend a Mad Men wedding, though I ended up being the only one who pinned some feathers into my hair (yes, I stuck a feather in a hat, but didn’t call it macaroni by any means) and wore a long sleeve royal blue dress (no photos shall surface).

Classic Cocktails – in classic alliteration form (the best kind), is an event that’s coming up by our ever treasured LCBO. An evening of all kinds of 60s glamour and fun, #LCBOCocktails promises to emanate swankiness (and maybe even a little snazziness). I’m already swooning at the classic beauty of the invitation (who doesn’t want to hang out with a martini girl in a Mad-Men like dress? Recycling is key for me).

Here are more details:

When: February 3rd, 2011, 6:00pm – 9:00pm

Where: The Carlu, 444 Yonge Street, Toronto

Dress Code: Classic Cocktail or 1960s inspired

I was contacted a bit ago about The Wedding Show coming in mid-January (January 14th-16th to be precise).  It’s an indulgent event with so many goods that it makes me wish I had an excuse to buy ice vases and designer cupcakes (my grandest weakness).

Here’s your chance to attend for kicks and for planning your loveliest of dream weddings-slash-marital-events. I’m getting up there in age, it’s around that time. All you have to do? Comment and say that you want tickets (2 tickets) on this post and I’ll draw the winner on January 13th. Gogo. Love is in the ay-er.
