The Swiss Colony Review and Live Giveaway!

Photobucket

We have been receiving The Swiss Colony catalog every year for as long as I can remember. One year I asked for one of the boxes of treats for Christmas. It was one of my favorite gifts that year. It was full of delicious candy including a chocolate Santa. I have the opportunity to include The Swiss Colony in my holiday gift guide this year. I received the Holi-bars set. It has Cheddar Cheese, BEEF LOG ® and Summer Sausages, Smokey Cheddar 'n Pecan Cheese Log, Dobosh and Double Chocolate Tortes. I received the set of 8 so it also had Kreme Kaese Cheese and Swiss & Cheddar/Almond Log. Right now they have a bonus gift with the Holi-Bars which is 24 mini petit fours. Noah actually opened the refrigerator and got in to the mini petit fours. I caught him before he ate the whole box, which he would have done if he had the chance. He really likes the petit fours. I have to agree with him there. My favorite were the meats. We made a great platter of meats and the cheese. We also had crackers for the cheese logs. Then for dessert we had tortes. You could make a meal out of the goodies in this box or a beautiful snack tray for your holiday guests. It would also be a wonderful gift for those that live far away especially if The Swiss Colony is a family tradition like it is for my family.

For more information please visit The Swiss Colony.

Thank you to The Swiss Colony for sending my family a sample box of the Holi-Bars for my family to enjoy and providing the giveaway prize.

I have a LIVE giveaway for you.

One (1) lucky winner will win an item from the Swiss Colony of their choice under $30.

Mandatory Entry: Please visit The Swiss Colony website and tell me what you would like to win.

You may comment as many times as you want after that about whatever you want. The comments have to be at least a full sentence to count. No copy and pasting the same comment over and over again. That is not fair to those who actually take the time to comment honestly.

This giveaway will end at 11:59 pm ET December 16, 2010. I will use random.org to pick a random winner.

This giveaway is open to US Residents only.

  34. Or a laptop. But, I don't think that either of them will be under the tree.

    ReplyDelete
  35. It's funny that you mention the Nook. My wife is an avid reader, but has no interest in the electronic readers.

    ReplyDelete
  36. My wife sure could use a new laptop this year too! Her's is about 4 years old and hardware stuff keeps failing. I'm getting tired of tearing apart and repairing laptops. ha.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love to read and wouldn't mind taking it to the level with the Nook. I would also be using it for it's internet capabilities though as well.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I have a regular desktop for now, which was more than I could have asked for. But, I would love to have a laptop for on the go. Or even a netbook.

    ReplyDelete
  39. But, I would be totally willing to take a Nook over a Laptop or vice versa.

  53. Haven't ordered in awhile but they make great gifts -- also some of the malls have kiosk's with them locally - so you can get the same great stuff without paying shipping.
