Win Flowering Gift Wrap from Little Kay Gardens

January 12th, 2009

Lynn from Little Kay Gardens is sponsoring a contest to give away a package of Flowering Gift Wrap to two winners! The recycled gift wrap is seeded with hundreds of wildflower seeds. The person receiving your gift will have a whole new way to recycle!

In a recent comment, Lynn said,

“I am a mom of two girls. Throwing out birthday party gift-wrap made me realize I had become a significant contributor to the landfill crisis in our country…. so this summer I did something about it. I reached out to an incredible horticulturist, Jim Johansen, and together we developed Flowering Wrapping Paper!

I wanted to create an accessible way for people to make a difference. This is a product we all use, and if you can give the gift of flowers as well, even better!

This pre-seeded gift-wrap is made from 100% recycled paper and currently available in 3 colors, with more on the way! The planting instructions are easy to follow and can be found with our gift cards and on our website.”

To enter:

Leave one comment on this post telling me about any green new year’s goals you made (ie, taking your own bags to the store or buying recycled paper). Two winners will be randomly selected and announced on January 22, 2009. (Enter by end of day on January 21.)

Also, please check your spam filters as the winners will have three days to respond to my email before I pick someone else.

Good luck!

    This looks like a fabulous idea

  2. Cheryl Masciarelli on January 12, 2009 2:30 pm

    What a great giveaway !!!!! Such pretty paper and helping the environment at the same time. Fantastic!!

  3. Sam on January 12, 2009 3:40 pm

    I can’t enter the contest, because my goals for the new year revolve around more immediate problems, but that’s just nifty! Nice prize, Peggy!

  4. J.F. on January 12, 2009 3:55 pm

    Wow – love the product! I have coasters that have seeds, ready for a party this summer. This would be a perfect compliment! GO GREEN! :)

  5. susan varney on January 12, 2009 4:48 pm

    to walk or bicycle whenever possible

  6. Rita M on January 12, 2009 5:19 pm

    My Green New Year’s goal is to actually use the cloth & canvas bags I’ve acquired & stop the plastic bag thing!

  7. shannon Baas on January 12, 2009 6:27 pm

    To start taking my own bags to the store.

  8. Linda Chaput on January 12, 2009 7:00 pm

    To compost everything i could.

  9. Anne on January 12, 2009 7:58 pm

    I have resolved to become a wee bit more green by always remembering to take my cloth bags grocery shopping and trying to walk, rather than drive, to the grocery store!

  10. MRS.MOMMYY on January 12, 2009 8:46 pm

    using bags everywhere- even my older kids have a bag in their pocket to carry when they run to the store- they have some really neat bags out there

  11. christopher h on January 12, 2009 10:05 pm

    we’ve started composting

  12. cheryl f on January 12, 2009 10:09 pm

    My goal is to use my own totes when I go shopping

  13. Rhonda Clemens on January 12, 2009 11:21 pm

    What I have done to “Go Green” for 2009 is I started shopping with a “green” shopping bag instead of using plastic or paper bags

  14. Kimberly L on January 13, 2009 3:08 am

    My ‘new’ green goal for 2009 is to encourage my husband to use a snow shovel rather than the snow blower. Then in the Fall I plan to use the rake rather than the leaf blower.

  15. Belinda on January 13, 2009 3:21 am

    I going to take my own shopping bags when I go to the store.

  16. crystle tellerday on January 13, 2009 5:07 am

    cool

  17. Susan C on January 13, 2009 8:07 am

    I love this idea! I have seen birthday cards with seeds, but never wrapping paper. One of things I did was lower the thermostat on my hot water heater by 15 degrees. Nobody has noticed!

  18. Sharon Harmon on January 13, 2009 9:27 am

    My green goal for 2009 is to stop using plastic grocery bags and use my own canvas re-usable bags.
    Thank you for the contest!

  19. Gayle J on January 13, 2009 9:51 am

    My goal is to recycle more and to remember to bring my reusable bags to the store

  20. Melinda on January 13, 2009 10:07 am

    We reuse our plastic bags, and we are also using old shopping bags (from department stores) for transporting things when we visit family

  21. beth shepherd on January 13, 2009 10:36 am

    My 2009 Green start is to stop using plastic bags and bring my own. Thank you!

  22. Angela J on January 13, 2009 12:03 pm

    We’ll just keep up with our composting, recycling, taking our own bags to the grocers, etc.

  23. Terri L on January 13, 2009 12:28 pm

    We have vowed as a family to cut down on water and energy use.

  24. Linda Lansford on January 13, 2009 12:53 pm

    stay healthy

  25. Sarah on January 13, 2009 1:32 pm

    i’m going to be eating totally organic by the end of this year!

  26. Carol G on January 13, 2009 1:44 pm

    My ‘green’ goal for the year is to try to impress upon my grandchildren that it is to everyone’s benefit if they will just TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!

  27. Denise on January 13, 2009 1:48 pm

    I vowed to recycle more stuff, because before I was only doing pop cans.

  28. Kathy Scott on January 13, 2009 2:50 pm

    I am a CPA and I am going to make this tax season paperless.

  29. Kate on January 13, 2009 2:51 pm

    We already recycle, have switched bulbs, and bring our own bags. Our goal this year is to reuse more and to compost.

  30. Monique Rizzo on January 13, 2009 2:57 pm

    We have cut down our energy use and bundled up!

  31. sito on January 13, 2009 3:46 pm

    We are making an effort to reduce/reuse more, in addition to the recycling we already do. Instead of buying new, we are looking at repairing what we have or buying second where practical. What a fun giveaway item. Instead of recycling that paper in a bin, they can recycle in the garden and enjoy a second gift!

  32. jeanne on January 13, 2009 5:23 pm

    Two of the goals we have is we have stopped buying individually bottled water and also I take my own eco bags shopping.

  33. J Chaborek on January 13, 2009 5:52 pm

    Our home New Years Resolution was to start being more green. We’ve changed our light bulbs & our apartment building has become more green themselves since they are now being charged for the amount of garbage the building produces. We’ve been recycling like mad, even empty toilet paper rolls & buying products with less packaging.

  34. Sylvia Belle on January 13, 2009 7:09 pm

    I try to recyle as much as I can.

  35. Jessica McKelvie on January 13, 2009 10:13 pm

    I am going to try and recycle more this year. It is very hard because my neighborhood does not have a recycling program so I have to take everything to different places.

  36. Christina on January 13, 2009 11:25 pm

    Even more than before, I will walk or take the bus instead of a car, and encourage others to carpool!
    The Flowering Gift Wrap is the most beautiful idea!

  37. Cynthya on January 14, 2009 1:05 am

    I will be growing more of my own veggies this year and being more vigilant about buying local.

  38. Karen Gonyea on January 14, 2009 8:24 am

    We are starting our own veggie garden this year and are very excited about doing so :)

  39. Christina G. on January 14, 2009 12:27 pm

    My green new year’s goal is to recycle more often. Thanks for the giveaway!

  40. Clifton Wade on January 14, 2009 3:03 pm

    I will plant a veggie garden this year for my wife to be able to eat healtier – she has been disabled for a long time but we have been happily married for more than 39 years. Thank you for this great contest and prize!

  41. Angel on January 14, 2009 5:38 pm

    Thanks for the chance to win. I love trying to be more green. One thing from the 3 R’s that is always underused is to REDUCE. I plan on reducing my water usage, my electricity usage and my gas usage. It is a lifestyle change/choice but worth it for our children.

  42. dorothy l on January 14, 2009 8:53 pm

    to recycle more of my garbage

  43. Colleen S on January 14, 2009 10:03 pm

    My green new years resolution is to make shopping bags for friends for christmas. If each of them use a few less bags, were all better for it!

  44. Diana on January 15, 2009 8:11 am

    My green resolution is to become friends with Colleen S, so that I can get one of her home made shopping bags. Seriously though, I try to use my bags at every opportunity and we did use them for Christmas gifts. I think to do more cooking with the foods we grow. Some of it goes to waste. Also, we’re trying to come up with our own garden tunnel to extend the growing season. It’s under ice right now, but when it thaws we’ll get it back up and start over. So extending the garden season is part of my resolution.

  45. leslie on January 15, 2009 8:36 am

    Terrific

  46. Amy on January 15, 2009 9:08 pm

    being more conscious about separating trash and recycling is one of my goals

  47. joni chadwell on January 16, 2009 4:31 pm

    I need to become more organized…I’m tryin’in ‘09

  48. Kimberly Emerson on January 16, 2009 10:12 pm

    I have reusable grocery bags but I always forget to use them. I’m putting them in my car so they’ll always be handy. I’m also using recycled paper for shipping packages, and I’m buying products for companies that use green packaging as often as possible.

  49. Debbie Criss on January 17, 2009 12:56 am

    To lower my utilities. Fiqure out how I can afford a wind turbine and solar panels.

  50. Patricia Treskovich on January 17, 2009 8:25 pm

    I intend to get some low energy light bulbs

  51. ky2here on January 18, 2009 12:27 pm

    I already recycle well at home. I’m trying to increase my workplace recycling.

  52. Sharon Seneker on January 18, 2009 3:38 pm

    To recycle more paper and aluminum! Thanks!

  53. Rosanne on January 18, 2009 10:17 pm

    I bring my own grocery bags and turn the heat completely off when I leave the house.

  54. Carol Drury on January 19, 2009 8:58 am

    going to try and take my own bags to the store more often also to recylce more!

  55. pamr on January 19, 2009 10:36 am

    I’ve decided that I need to recycle more, not just paper; thanks for the chance!

  56. Vicki on January 19, 2009 4:50 pm

    My goal is to get in better shape. Wow, this paper is gorgeous!

  57. Sarah Z on January 19, 2009 8:03 pm

    I want a bigger garden this year and I want to recycle more… plastic bags, newspaper, cardboard, cans, and whatever else I can find!
    Thanks – love this idea!

  58. Hesper F on January 19, 2009 10:13 pm

    I am trying to recycle everything I possibly can and not buying bottled water.

  59. Erma on January 20, 2009 7:12 am

    I had chanced my bulbs to CFL and will put a garden in this year. Thanks for the chance to win.

  60. Kt on January 20, 2009 11:44 am

    We are getting married this year and I am trying to have a “green” wedding! This would be great to wrap bridesmaid gifts in and still keep with my green resolution! thanks!

  61. Vicki Wurgler on January 20, 2009 3:20 pm

    my husband built a compost bin and I bought some more totes to use for shopping

  62. CHARLENE S. on January 20, 2009 3:22 pm

    To recycle more, use tote bags at the store, etc…

  63. Chrysa on January 20, 2009 7:56 pm

    I’m trying to always put my reusable bags back in the car as soon as I unpack them so I don’t forget them!

  64. Jennifer C on January 20, 2009 8:58 pm

    I am trying to eliminate all toxic cleaners from my home.

  65. Donna Wilde on January 21, 2009 5:18 am

    My goal is to use less prepackaged products to cut down on the amount of garbage we send to the land fill every year. We have been generating a lot of trash for a 3 person family.

  66. Aletha Hendrickson on January 21, 2009 6:50 am

    One of my Green resolutions is to compost kitchen and yard waste; we already recycle, changed lightbulbs, buy green more and more, and grow more of our own food. Thanks for the giveaway.

  67. salina m on January 21, 2009 7:06 am

    my new years goal is to lose 20 pounds

  68. Amy Tucker on January 21, 2009 7:52 am

    We are focusing on reducing our garbage.

  69. Lisa Fosses on January 21, 2009 8:34 am

    Use reusable stainless steel water bottles instead of disposable

  70. Veronica Garrett on January 21, 2009 9:11 am

    To change all my bulbs to energy efficient ones. To only use natural pesticides on my lawn.

  71. Jessi on January 21, 2009 9:11 am

    I will replace all of my light bulbs with more efficient light bulbs.

  72. Nanette Olson on January 21, 2009 10:10 am

    My green goal is to grow my own herbs and vegetables this year.

  73. Dan on January 21, 2009 10:38 am

    grow more of my own food

  74. Sandy M on January 21, 2009 11:04 am

    I recycle more and am now using reusable shopping bags.

  75. abbey on January 21, 2009 11:15 am

    I have made many green resolutions for myself this year, including not using any paper towels to dry my hands, but the most important one is to build my new house this year and make it as green as I can.

  76. Salleefur on January 21, 2009 12:30 pm

    We’ve really turned over a new (GREEN) leaf – quite a few in fact. From recycling, to buying (and EATING!) green. Growing our own organic herbs and veggies! Always bringing our “green bags” to the grocery (and other) stores. This follows last year’s resolution – to conserve water, gas and electricity – we’ve kept that one too!

  77. kathy on January 21, 2009 1:34 pm

    My green new year’s goal is to drink from refillable plastic water bottles rather than buy individual water containers.

  78. kathy pease on January 21, 2009 2:42 pm

    im changing all my lightbulbs to energy saver bulbs

  79. patrick m on January 21, 2009 3:14 pm

    i vowed to become a better recyler.

  80. Leigh Nichols on January 21, 2009 4:00 pm

    Mine is to remember to take my reuseable shopping bags, and to obtain even more.

  81. Candie L on January 21, 2009 5:10 pm

    I have been trying to remember to bring my tote bag to the grocery store with me. Unfortunately I can never remember. I have been wanting to get my preschool involved with recycling. It would be a win win for them. They would make money with the funds and they would be helping with the environment

  82. Suanne Giddings on January 21, 2009 6:51 pm

    I am now working on doing my part to help the environment by using reusable grocery bags, recycle and compost and try to conserve gas by driving much less. Please help me take another step to become a greener person! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter & dream about these wonderful items.

  83. marcy strahan on January 21, 2009 6:53 pm

    I bought bins to start recycling!
    We don’t have pick up here but there is a drop off about 20 miles away.

  84. Susanne Troop on January 21, 2009 7:06 pm

    Recycle more…it is hard but we are working on it!

  85. Jill Lund on January 21, 2009 7:37 pm

    I bag my groceries in cloth bags.

  86. Frances Watson on January 21, 2009 8:19 pm

    try to recycle

  87. Donna K on January 21, 2009 9:44 pm

    I am recycling more.

  88. A Casson on January 21, 2009 9:47 pm

    Recycling here at home is always on my mind and I’ve become quite good at it. skyxsky27(at)gmail.com

  89. Helen on January 21, 2009 9:53 pm

    I’ve been taking my own bags to the grocery store for a while now.
