Now this part is very important! Each entry needs it’s own comment to count as an additional entry.  Unfortunately we are not able to combine entries.  For example a comment that reads “I love the Hippie Chic Lap Desk and I blogged and tweeted about this giveaway” would need to be split up into three different comments to count as the three separate entries.

Winners will be picked at random and announced on the Room It Up blog on Tuesday December 2, 2010.  Prize will be 1 lap desk of the winner’s choice.  Entries will be accepted from November 20, 2009 to December 2, 2009 12:00 AM EST.

****Be sure to tell your friends!!!  Because if you get your friends to post comments to the contest and mention that you referred them and that comment is a winner, you’ll both get a lap desk.****

Thank you for participating and Good Luck!!!!

This season it’s all about value.

Introducing our 3 Piece Cosmetic Case sets.  Talk about getting a lot of bang for your buck, and at $20 retail these sets make not only a great gift for this holiday season, but also a fun and practical set you can use all year long.  I find that I use mine quite often, even when I am not traveling.  I love that the smallest size is perfect for storing all of my loose things (lip gloss, compact mirror, etc..) in my over-sized tote bag that I carry everywhere.  The medium and large sizes are great for storing and separating my toiletries and cosmetics – especially in my large suitcase when I travel.  As a bonus our great set comes gift packaged with our signature white ribbon – just begging to be gifted to someone on your list!  Check out our 3 Piece Cosmetic Case Sets for yourself today.  They are available in 6 of our signature prints.

I recently gave my friend Julia a monogrammed solid purple cozy fleece as a gift.  She loves anything with her JRA monogram so I figured this gift would be a big hit.  Turns out I was right and she loves the blanket so much she has decided to purchase a few for family members for the holidays!  Below I have listed all of the reasons why the Cozy Throws make a great gift this Holiday Season.

1. Multiple solid colors and fun prints to choose from.  We have a color or print for anyone!
2. Jungle Madness.  My personal favorite, Jungle Fun, has be selling fast!  Who doesn’t love animal prints?  Pick up one today before they’re gone!
3. The perfect blank slate for personalization.  The blankets are perfect for showcasing you name, favorite team or monogram.  While we don’t offer monogramming services, you can always find a RIU retailer near you (on our locator) that may personalize, or take one to an embroiderer in your town.  If you need help tracking down one, we can always see if we can help track one down for ya.
4. Not only are they great for using at home, they make the perfect travel companion.  Great for taking on your next road trip or on your next plane adventure.  (Not to mention ours are so much more fashionable and cozy than those questionable ones they hand you on the plane!)

So go ahead and check out our cozy fleece selection today!  Not to mention, if you pick up a couple you can qualify for the free shipping!!  What’s not to love about that?

I know, I know… we just got done with Halloween!! (PS: Where did October go!?! – I for one sure don’t know!)  However, as I walked in our local mall this past weekend I couldn’t help but notice all of the big holiday displays in the store windows.  Maybe it’s just me, but I love this season (even if we don’t get the snow that was pictured in the Gap’s window!) and while you may just be finishing off all of that candy, and packing away all of your Halloween costumes, decor and more, let’s face it:  the Holidays will be here before you know it.  No matter what holiday you celebrate the gift giving season is all around.

At Room It Up we are bound and determined to make sure your holidays go a whole lot smoother when it comes to buying the perfect gift for those on your lists – and the shelves for your stores for all of you RIU retailers.  So do yourself a favor and shop early – we’ve got a great selection on our website that you just have to see for yourself.  I for one am going to be giving my friends a selection of flat iron cases, lap desks and cozy fleece. Prefer to shop by price-point?  Today, I collected a list of gifts ranging from under $20 to $60 – so be sure to check those out as well.

Remember the Holidays are for having fun and spending time with family and friends (well, mostly along those lines, right?) so do yourself a favor and shop early!  Your sanity will thank you later come mid-December!  An added bonus?  The majority of our best sellers are currently in stock and ready to ship!!  So if this all wasn’t a big enough motivator to get you ready – look below for my countdown!!

39 Days Until Hanukkah!!

53 Days Until Christmas!!
