Giveaway: Budget Cuts Piggy Bank from gselect

As you may remember, on Monday I posted about the New York based modern shop gselect.  Well, as luck would have it, the lovely people at gselect saw the post and contacted me about it. They have kindly offered to giveaway my favorite item in the shop to one lucky reader:  The Budget Cuts Piggy Bank! 

Isn't he just the cutest little guy? Perfect for any room in the house, he'll remind us to save for what really matters like therapy, underwear, and scratch tickets of course.  
How to enter? (up to 3 entries)
1.  Visit gselect and tell me your favorite item in the shop.  There's tons to choose from! This one's mandatory.
2. If you're a regular reader/follower of D&OC you get a second entry because you're extra special.  Just tell me how you follow.
3. Tweet, Blog, or Facebook about this piggy and let me know you did!  You can find me on Twitter here.
Winner will be picked Friday morning.  Just remember, this little piggy was the smartest piggy around because he SAVED his money and built an eco-friendly house that the wolf loved way too much to blow down.  He deserves a good home, ok?

~
The winner of the Matou en Peluche giveaway is...
...Katie with Off Switch Designs!  Congrats Katie and thank you Sam for sharing your work with us!

    That is so cute, and could really come in handy! We have one that is actually divided into sections for my daughter. It has four slots: Spend, Donate, Save, Invest. It's a good teaching too for her and a great daily reminder for me!! It's not quite as cute as this pig though :-)

    I love piggy banks and I still need to get one! They have a really gorgeous flower vase there in white, "One Flower Vase" that's really gorgeous. I think I'd fill it with some of the flowers blooming in my 'hood.

    I guess 'I want it all' doesn't count... well, I chose something I haven't seen or wanted before: the Vase Maker, because it's such a lovely idea.
