Emily Giffin’s Favorite Things
Emily sheepishly admits that she sleeps with her BlackBerry (her publicist told me I swear!).
Now before you go judgin’, we know she’s not the only woman out there who puts her BlackBerry smartphone down on the pillow next to her at night.
Besides, how else would this busy mom and bestselling author keep track of everything she has to do (hello sixteen city book tour!) without BlackBerry features like calendar reminders, on-the-go access to email, social networking sites and other applications?
And doesn’t this BlackBerry® Curve™ 8530 smartphone in Smoky Violet from Verizon Wireless match perfectly with the Heart of the Matter book cover?
We love the color coordination! Value $359.99.
What woman doesn’t love a good designer shoe! Emily’s favorite? The Moxie shoe from the Ingenue Collection by Ann Roth Shoes.
Ann Roth’s Ingenue Collection is inspired by the strength, character and sex appeal of female heroines in literature and film -- so of course Emily loves it.
The Moxie is a striking peep-toe in nude snake-embossed leather. Now that’s a shoe with sass, sparkle and confidence - a perfect match for Emily and one lucky winner who will win these fabulous shoes. Value $298.
Emily loves the perfect fitting bra -- her secret weapon for looking stellar at all her upcoming book and movie events.
After all, her first novel, Something Borrowed, is being made into a movie starring Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin and is currently being filmed in NYC.
Be sure to check out Emily’s blog and Emily’s Facebook fan page where she keeps everyone updated with cast photos and news on the movie! Her bra of choice comes from My Intimacy – the bra fit stylists –and she’s sharing the love with a gift certificate for one lucky fan. Now that’s what I call support! Value $150.
Emily’s favorite places to satisfy her sweet tooth is Crumbs Bake Shop on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The specialty is the Crumbs Signature size cupcakes.
With more than 50 varieties baked fresh daily and a new cupcake of the week every Monday, Crumbs Bake Shop is an oasis of deliciousness.
Emily is allowing one of you to enjoy your favorite Crumbs treats with a Crumbs gift certificate so you can have it delivered straight to your front door – perfect for any occasion or just for curling up with Heart of the Matter. Value $50.
Emily loves writing letters to friends and family, sending thank you notes and invitations that are custom created.
Like ones from Creative Blu – where each sample box has an exterior design with ribbon and or lace that coordinates with the interior.
This decorated wooden box contains 40 to 50 pieces of custom stationery inside. Perfect for letters and thank you notes from the heart. Value $100.
What does Emily curl up in when she reads her favorite books or when she snuggles her kids?
Her Keiki Co. luxury blanket that is favored by actresses, rockstars and women everywhere.
Fans include Heather Locklear, Pink, Lady Gaga, Jessica Simpson, Julia Roberts, the cast of Desperate Housewives and more. They're the plushest, most luxurious blankets ever and one lucky reader will win a beautiful oatmeal or champagne adult throw. Value $200.
