dayspring gifts {a giveaway}
Do you have your Christmas shopping done?
Don't tell me if you do, because that would be way too efficient of you.
My sister and sisters-in-law all joined the Black Friday crazies this weekend.
Though they were lacking in sleep, they did score some pretty good deals.
I decided to stay home this year and hang out with Levi.
My sister did get me some Gap jeans for fifty percent off.
She is really sweet like that.
Anyway, if you are like me and still have some a lot of shopping to do...
you will be glad you stopped by today.
Remember those Hope and Encouragement cards I posted about?
I LOVE them.
It is great to have a whole stack of meaningful cards
to send to friends when they are needing a little encouragement.
The messages inside each one are perfect.
After I told you about the Hope and Encouragement Cards,
DaySpring sent me a few other fun things to share with you.
How fun to get a big box of goodies in the mail!
Like this Give Thanks Wooden Caddy.
This caddy would be great for Christmas parties.
Mine is ready for desserts and coffee.
{Come on over friends!}
I filled it with polka dot napkins and coffee spoons.
But, there are so many ways you could use this caddy!
The plaque on the front says:
Give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love.
Psalm 107:8
I think this caddy would be the perfect gift
for someone who loves to entertain.
You could even fill it up with napkins and utensils
and they would be ready for their next party!
I also love these colorful plates from DaySpring's Life Collection.
I have big plans for these little plates.
Like filling them with ornaments and wrapping them with
clear wrap and a big red ribbon...
or filling them with Christmas cookies,
or maybe a big chocolate covered caramel apple.
These would be the perfect teacher gift or gift for your neighbors.
And the best part is when they get to the bottom of the plate,
there is the sweet message of "life".
A reminder of the life God has given us through the precious gift of His Son.
Did you notice my new cards?
I think I love these just as much as the Hope and Encouragement cards.
This is the Colors of Compassion assortment.
If you know someone who loves to send cards,
this would be a great gift for them.
The best part is that when you purchase these cards,
DaySpring will donate 6% of net wholesale sales directly to
Compassion International to help provide immunizations and
other urgent medical care to children in need.
Isn't that great!?!
And even better...the Colors of Compassion cards are on sale right now...
the Hope and Encouragement cards are on sale too!
Do you need a few more ideas?
Check these out...
There are so many beautiful things to choose from.
I hope you have a list made out because DaySpring is offering one of my readers a
$50.00 gift certificate to use in their online store!

hard to choose! but i would pick the "by grace alone" necklace!
Oh it would be hard to choose but I would I have to go between the caddy and the plates to share with teachers. I have been looking for the perfect teacher gift.
Kathryn B
I am loving the jewelry of course! I think I would use the gift card to buy on of the lisa leonard necklaces... love them!
Jodi W
I didn't know about those "Colors of Compassion" cards and how they make a donation to Compassion. I think they do great work. I've been a Compassion sponsor since 2005 and even got to meet my child and his family in the Philippines. I would definitely get lots of cards, so I could spread encouragement to people I know when they need it.
Wow, lots of neat things! I would love some boxed cards or maybe the scripture bracelet.
definitely a sign of some sort to put up!
I love the Nativity Hurricane Candle Holder Trio and it's been on my wish list for a long time but I NEED the Give Thanks Caddy for entertaining! Decisions, decisions! :)
lizbrussell@gmail.com
I love the Nativity Hurricane Candle holders...so pretty.
Most likely the caddy and the "Abide in Him" wall decor! SO cute!
There is a beautiful vase on the site that I would love to have (Ever Grateful - 10" Taupe Small Vase), but I agree with some of the others....I LOVE Lisa Leonard's jewelry, so I might would get one of her necklaces.
Lisacollinsworth@hotmail.com
I would get some boxed encouragement cards for sure.
I couldn't decide between these two:
http://store.dayspring.com/tahotohene.html
http://store.dayspring.com/scbafahoandl.html
Both have the word Hope in them. And that is the one word I've clung to for over 3 years now, while we struggle with infertility.
PS. If you never seen these cards, http://store.dayspring.com/rw24valuepack.html, they are by far my favorite ever. I buy them all the time and send them out.
what a great idea! I would pick the hope and encouragement cards....lots of them...what a great idea to send out to people. :)
I love the Ever Greatful collection! I love the wooden caddy, and I would love to update my dishes with a mix of the Wasabi and the taupe dish pieces. I SO need an everyday dishes makeover! This stuff is beautiful!!
Hard to choose but I think I would get cards.
I would get some of the "Jesus is the Gift" candy dishes and fill them with some candy for my sons wonderful christian daycare teachers!
I love the "Jesus is the Gift" collection!
I would buy as many things from the "Life to the Full" collection as I could!!! Especially the blue and black things- I love that color combo!!
I love the Dayspring cards so I'd get some of them and the "Jesus is the Gift" metal yard sign. I'd love something to put outside that declares the "reason for the season". God bless you Jess!
The "By Grace Alone" necklace!
sweetpeasandsassafrasATyahooDOTcom
So many neat things! I think I would get the By Grace Alone Cuff Bracelet or the Jesus Is The Gift Snowflake Tea Towels.
I love the jewelry and I would also get a box or two of the encouragement cards to send to friends.
Love that ever grateful, ever blessed apron......... too cute!
I love the nativity hurricane candle holder, perfect for my mother in law!
zeiger_mel@yahoo.com
Wow. Maybe some plates and a table runner? Too many great things!
I love the "be still" sign with the full verse, I also like the navity hurricane trio. Everything is beautiful
I would pick five of the coffee mugs. We drink a lot of coffee, and I would love to see some inspiration every morning!
I would definitely pick some jewelry :)
moorekrystle@gmail.com
It is so hard to decide what I would buy. The John 3:16 Heart and Globe Necklace would be a perfect gift for my grandma. That is her favorite verse. I also would buy some of the Life plates. I love the colors!
I would start buying the Life collection but I would be really tempted to buy the "by grace alone" necklace as well : ) I LOVE their stuff!
Oh my goodness, I love them all! I am a cheap date though, and I would choose the wooden caddy. :) I love the rustic look of it! And definitely the Colors of Compassion cards!!
I love the vinyl wall quotes!
Since we just bought our first house, I would love to get more art/foraging stuff. Maybe one of their wallographies, or a wall hanging!
I would love to have the By Grace Alone necklace, or the ABide by Him Sign! Everything is Wonderful on their site... it's really a hard choice.
dreamerklc@gmail.com
Jess, Thank you so much for this opportunity! I love the Dayspring site! I always get lost on there :) I think I would choose the Wooden Caddy. I love what you have done with it!
I would love the caddy!
Jesus is the Gift set, can't decide. I love the serving platter, star trivet, candy dish and serving bowl.
I would love some of their wall art!
Wow, did you see those amazing personalized cards? So hard to find a good card to share the REAL meaning of the season. I want those SO BAD!
I love the "by grace alone" necklace, but I'm leaning towards sets of the hope and encouragement cards. So hard to choose!
How am I supposed to choose from so many adorable and inspirational things!? I think I would have to choose a coffee mug! I would love to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee with a bible verse on it.
Wow - they have so much nice stuff! It would be so hard to choose - I love the cards and the plates you posted about. I would have to choose one of the charm necklaces, like "hope" or "Faith" for my Mom.
Thinking of you!
I like the Life black and white dessert plates. I THINK that's what I would get...of course if I did win I'd have to look again and make sure of it. There are so many great items to choose from!
I just love everything from Dayspring! I would probably choose the Watch for His Wonders pillow cover. I've been eying it for a couple weeks now! Jen
I love the "Jesus is the Gift" collection... I could definitely use some of those items for gifts!
Anna Rhodes
I would have to choose the Nativity Hurricane Trio. I love it's simplicity and beauty! Merry Christmas!
If I had to choose- I would choose the Tree of Life jewelry set! Absolutely beautiful!! And I would also get Rain On Me - 40 Day Devotional Book by Holley Gerth!
I would use it for some kind of wall decor! - Kathy
I think I would get the "Jesus is the gift" plates to put cookies on for the neighbors. What a simple reminder about what Christmas is really about!
The wooden box, it is so cute and fuctional.
I love love love the tile hanging art and the kitchen decor! so cute :) thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I love the necklaces. Either the "By Grace Alone" or "Tree of Life" pendent.
Wow! It's hard to pick just 1 or 2 things. I LOVE the encouragement greeting cards but I think I would have to go with either the Giving Thanks glass hurricanes or the Wonderful Grace serving tray!
Jen S
I would either stock up on cards or get a necklace for someone (or me!)!
I would get the wooden caddy--I love the Hope and Encouragement cards, too.
I love the nativity candle holders!!
I really like the Posy Pins, but would love a box of the (in)courage cards also!
Jenni G
LOVE their christmas decor!
Having not ordered Christmas cards yet, I think that would be the most practical choice for me!!
I love the "Jesus is the Gift" dishes and kitchen towels. I can see that $50 in a gift card would be easily spent here. I'm going back there now to buy the "Jesus is the Gift" plate that I saw with the coupon code you just posted!
i love the plates so much; you gave me a great idea for teacher gifts!
Definitely jewelry.
I was all set to say I'd buy cards and gifts for others, and then I saw the nativity candle holders, and they are what I would buy, hands down. :)
I love it all..but probably would purchase jewerly from lisa leonard for my daughter for Christmas!
I love the encouragement cards and think my friends would too! I would have to get those and maybe some jewelry. Thanks for sharing this website. They have great stuff!
Kasey
I love the Christmas tree card holder and the Nativity hurricanes!
There are so many neat things, but I have a special friend having a baby next month and their prices are so good that I could get her a whole basket of things, plus a great piece of inspirational jewelry for myself!!
I would definitely use the $ to stock up on their cards! I have been ordering cards from DaySpring for several years now, and I love them! I keep them with me in my prayer notebook, and every morning during my prayer time, as I pray for folks, I pick one person to send a card to. It's a small thing, but it's amazing how much it means to those who receive the cards.
I love the Nativity Hurricane Candle Holder Trio...I've had my eye on them and would love to win money towards them!
I love the picture frames! Especially the Blessed and Every Perfect Gift. So perfect for pics of my little guy for the grandmas!
I would pick the GRACE tile set.
http://store.dayspring-store.com/gracetileset.html
It's a little more than $50.00, but with the sale they are having, I think I could splurge a little. I love this tile set!
I would buy (and may still!) a nativity set. We don't have one, which makes me so so sad, especially since this is our first Christmas as a married couple!
So many nice things, but I'd love one of the Lisa Leonard necklaces.
I would get the Hope & Encouragement cards and the Colors of Compassion cards. Need to have those on hand!
I love the "Jesus is a gift" collection. So beautiful!
I think I would get the Really Woolly books as gifts for my kids and their friends.
it would be hard to choose… i love pretty much everything… but i love the Jesus is the Gift collection. so precious!
can I just say I love it ALL!! the dish towels, the servingware...I'd take any of it!
Definately cards of all types.
I would probably choose some kind of plaque or wall decor. But I also really love cards and stationary!
Oh wow, what a site! I would definitely buy some jewelry!! I would Christmas shop! :)
I just love the Ever Grateful plates and mugs!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I had never been to that site before and am a pretty good online shopper ;) I placed an order while I was there so I got a few things I really wanted but did not get a few frames that I would LOVE to have. Either those or something else for the walls in our home!

I love, love, LOVE Dayspring things! Our local Christian book store has a punch card system for their cards and I always love to peruse the card isle for their uplifting cards!
The life collection mugs. Love them!
I love Dayspring's artwork. I think I would buy something for my baby girl's room. I'm crossing my fingers...the drawing will happen on my birthday!! :)
There's just so much great stuff, it's hard to decide. But I do like the "Abide in Him" wall decor.
So many beautiful things, but I will like the Nativity Hurricane Candle Holder Trio.
I love the caddy and the by Grace alone necklace. So many cute things!
I would buy the heart for Africa necklace as my husband and I sponsor a little boy in Kenya. It would be a constant reminder of the things God's doing in HIS NAME. :)

I need a new planner for 2011 so I would probably choose that as well as some books or cards.
I LOVE their cards! I am sooo low on cards, so I would definitely stock up! Thanks for offering this giveaway. I love your little Levi, he is soooo handsome and your pictures are top notch!
I love the plates! Great idea with the christmas ornaments!
I have wanted the "by grace alone" necklace FOREVER and can't seem to make myself fork over the cash, so that is definitely what I would get!
I would choose the nativity candle set. It's beautiful and something I've been dreaming of for awhile.
I really like the Sprout Posy Pin Collection. It would also make a really nice gift
The Nativity Hurricane Candle Holder Trio. I've had my eye on that for awhile and think it would be a perfect addition to our holiday decor that I would look forward to displaying prominently each year.
I love the Jesus is the Gift collection! So many cute things that would be so fun to use this holiday. And that silverware caddy is perfect for our house, just what I've been looking for! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the tile wall hangings, I would get them for my mom who is HARD to buy for!
Courtney
Loved the Dayspring site!! It's definately on my favorites now. I particularly liked the wall art, "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made" and "Trust in the Lord"
i know one thing for sure would be the taupe vase that says something like, "thankful for simple joys". not sure what else!
WOW! I love the jewelery. The Lisa Leonard stuff is great. I like the Christmas stuff too though. Especially the first Christmas ornament and the Jesus is the Gift snowflake set of EVERYTHING!! I'm pretty sure I could burn through $50.00 :) Thanks so much for this give away!
Bridgette M.
Love the metal cross wall hangings...I'd definitely snag one of those! The snowflake collection stuff is really pretty too...I just bought my mom the snowflake pitcher so I could use the 30% off deal before it's over!
I like the What God Has Joined - 5 x 7 Christian Photo Frame.
Oh I always get overwhelmed on their website by the wonderful products they have! I am really liking the Snowflake collection. Thanks for sharing Jess
Wow this was hard to choose but I think the plates are my favorite. My boys and I love to make cookies for our neighbors and that would be a great Christmas present!

I would definitely pick up a couple of new devotionals for us to read as a family.
I would buy Christmas books for my boys!

So much to choose from, but I love the Jesus is the gift metal sign!
cards, cards and more cards!
Oh the nativity hurricane candle trio have been on my list since last year! Have you checked out Blessings unlimited. I am purchasing the adorable puzzles that have special messages in them. Too cute! Check it out.
I would have to say either the Give Thanks caddy or the "By Grace Alone" jewelry set :)
I would choose the Ever Grateful plate set http://store.dayspring.com/evgr4pitapls.html
I am graduating with my B.S. Degree in the Spring and I am starting get things in order for my future apartment . Day Spring has some amazing things!
On another note, I would like to tell you that Cora's story has blessed me greatly and I have been following for sometime. Your faith and courage is a great incouragement to me. God Bless all of you!
Those plates are so cute and your idea to use them as a teacher's gift is great. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I would choose something from the snowflake home collection. It all looks so festive and happy with a great message!

I had the "God Cares for You" wrapped canvas on my wish list! I may go ahead and order... 30% off! Thanks for that!! I could pick a million other things off their site! Love so many things!!
I'm remembering your chocolate/carmel apples now, too! Oh, so GOOD!!
I would get the Christmas Children's Book and a Bible for my little girl to grow up reading. Love this website!
So many great things to choose from! I think I'd go for the Peace 5 tile set -- I love it!
I absolutely love the Grace Alone necklace by Lisa Leonard.
I love the cards and plates :) so fun!!
Definitely anything from the Life collection - love the red, black and white stuff, and the colorful stuff too!
Hmmm...I would get the kids apron! I have two girls who think it's great fun to cook with me when it's time to bake Christmas cookies. They end up such a mess though!!! I would also get some Christmas cards because my husband is from a huge family and we never have enough cards!
I love the Jesus is the gift metal plaque and the nativity trio of tea lights. But, I think I'm going to have to buy the christmas card tree stand right now!
I love the Thank You - Sassy & Sophisticated - 12 Note Cards
I love the jewelry and the cards!! Lots of cute stuff!
I would buy a caddy for me and one to be given as a gift :-) So many cute things :-)
Thanks for the opportunity!!!
Maureen
I love Dayspring. I would definitely buy the Nativity Hurricane Candle Holder Trio and some cards. Although, after browsing back through..it would be a tough decision cause I like it all! Wishing you and your family a very Happy Holiday!
I would buy the striped organization box. So cute!!
The hanging tiles or a Christian sign. Thanks!
So many great items! I would probably use it to buy the Life 6" bowls for my son's preschool teachers.
I would probably use the whole $50 for cards, as I was just telling my husband yesterday when he asked what I wanted for Christmas that I would like some new cards. I am almost out of my stack. ;) And I really like the colors of compassion most. The sassy ones seem cute also for some of my more "sassy" friends. :)
Wow all kinds of awesome things! I would have to get the cards to share with others and then maybe a plaque or cross to put in my house.
I love the Nativity Hurricane Trio! I bought it for my mom last year for Christmas and the hurricanes look so beautiful all lit up on her fireplace mantle....love them! :)
Jessica C.
I LOVE all of your ideas! I love the day spring cards! They are the best!
Wow this website is so cute! I am actually about 6 months pregnant with my first baby and I would definitely pick a baby item for my little one. Your Love - Lord - Pink Giraffe would definitely be a purchase I would make :)
Awesome. I ordered and have been using the encouragement cards you recommended awhile back. the compassion ones look cool too though.
I really love the Give Thanks Wooden Caddy - I am hosting Christmas this year and it would be perfect for my silverware and napkins, too. All of their plates are beautiful and those necklaces! WOW!
So many awesome things. I really like the metal wall hanging.
Oh my, how could I choose! I got caught up in the (in)courage shop... Narrowing it down further, I really like the book crop signs... ok, ok, picking one: "Be Grateful for Sunshine... for Life"
I would most likely buy the nativity candle holder. It's gorgeous!!!
I'd choose the vinyl lettering! Fun way to make a statement in my home. ~Tressa Elvehjem
I would purchase a few boxes of cards so I would have some ready when a friend needed encouragement. I love the caddy, too! And our advent calendar is up and going today :) Thanks for the encouragement!
I love the Show Offs art collection they have for sale because of the fun, bright colors and scripture incorporated into the art. I already have two of them up in my kitchen and dining area, and they really brighten things up. I would buy more from that collection! :)
JoAnne Simmons
I would choose the Max Lucado and Joyce Meyer cards. They are beautiful!
I love the May Your Cup Overflow plaque!!
I really love the "EVER GRATEFUL" collection...both its soft colors and its beautiful message. I think I would buy the cake pedestal first!
Definitely a hard decision. :)
I would either get the Jer 29:11 Sterling Silver Scripture Bangle for myself...
Or the "Take Hope to Heart" necklace for a friend of mine.
We are both struggling with recurrent pregnancy loss, and could use those tangible reminders.
I love the Hope and Encouragement cards. They really are inspirational.
Hard choices here but I would most likely choose something for my granddaughter. Thank you for sharing this opportunity to win!
I would choose the Nativity Advent Calendar by C. Michael Dudash and The Christmas Story - Willow Tree Nativity.
What a nice offer. Thanks! Merry Christmas!
What a gorgeous site! I don't know what to choose, but I'm sure I would find something :) I really like your committment until Christmas, what a good idea! I will try to think of something like that also. It is a good idea, because Christmas gets so busy. I might try to find a book in the Bible that has around 25 chapters and try to go it by Christmas.
It would be so hard to choose, but it would probably be the caddy as a gift for my sweet MIL. :)
It would be hard to choose one thing...I love greeting cards!!!!
I would love the Nativity Hurricane Candle Holder Trio
There are so many good things to choose from, but I would have to say some sort of wall decor or the Life to the Full - Colorful Kitchen & Tableware Collection.
I would get some cards and the cute Jesus is the Gift snowflake apron for my girls.
God Bless
Marsha
Oops, I forgot to post my name with my comment. I would choose some type of wall decor or the Life to the Full - Colorful Kitchen & Tableware Collection.
Brittanie N
Love all the things on Dayspring. I think I would have to choose the Compassion Cards. LOVE LOVE them.
My husband doesn't have a bible so i would really like to get him a bible for christmas. Even if i don't win this i'll be buying him one.
I'm thinking a necklace by Lisa Leonard...or some stationery.
I would choose the ever grateful memo board and any of the cards, I can never have enough cards. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the 'Trust' 5-tile set!
i love their cards and they have Thank you cards for graduates which is perfect for us since my son is graduating high school in June. Libbe
I also love the wooden caddy! Super cute!!
I would get new bibles for me and my husband or something from their jewelry collection. All of it is fabulous!!
God has really been laying on my heart to bless people randomly with cards...so cards it would be!!
I would get some plates from the Life Collection!
I would choose the wooden caddy! Love it!
It would be a toss up between the lisa leonard necklace (by grace alone) or a WHOLE bunch of cards to send to people I like to encourage...............
I would buy a devotion book for the next season of life. I am going to join you and your hubby in spending time in the word this month. I am looking forward to growing in my faith and growing closer to God. Thanks for the challenge. Now I'm off to dig into the word.
Lori
very tough to choose. i have been eyeing and wanting a lisa leonard necklace for years so that's what i would pick!
So hard to choose, but I love the "Jesus is the gift" collection!
So hard to decide. I like several of the books and then the wall art also. I'm sure it would be a difficult decision.
Love Dayspring. Would use gift card for home decor.
I love the "Colors of Compassion" cards and the "By Grace Alone" necklace. So many neat things on that site -I had no idea!
Thanks for this opportunity!
I love the colorful Life plates. And you had a great suggestion for filling them w/ goodies to give away to teachers, neighbors, etc.
I love the "by grace alone" necklace. This week, more than ever, I'm finding what an awesome gift His grace is to me.
Brand new to your blog, but lovin' what I am reading and seeing. We actually quilted the little quilt Levi is laying on! Had no idea! But, back to business, difficult choice, but some of the everyday dishes or the hurricane candle.
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
