A few weeks ago, while attending the BlogHer Food conference in Atlanta, GA, I was asked to be a part of a shopping spree with HomeGoods. Of course I said, Yes! And today on RE, YOU have a chance to win a $100 GIFT CARD to HomeGoods!
I think back to many years ago when my parents won a car filled with groceries. No joke – at the peek of a bad economy, my parents were so blessed to win the car plus the groceries. And to keep the love going, they shared boxes of canned goods with other families who were in need.
That story reminds me of this shopping spree, because I was able to share and to bring some friends along, thanks to BlogHer. Even though this spree was quite different than my parent’s win 40 years ago, I must say it was really fun.
First off, the staff at BlogHer were fantastic! They were there at the store greeting me and my friends with gift cards for all.
My other very good blogging friend, Rhoda, from Southern Hospitality, was also there with a group of her friends. The store was closed so we had a private shopping time. Yipee! And we got a little silly at times, but heck, having to get up so early and get there by 8 was a stretch for us all. 
(That’s Amy from She Wears Many Hats and Shari from Tickled Red.)
Have you ever been to a HomeGoods store? I think most peeps have, but if not, today might be your lucky day because Home Goods is giving away a $100 GIFT CERTIFICATE.
That’s right – you can enter to win here at RE today!
Loved all the white dishes. And of course I looked for the largest platter I could find for all of my entertaining. I noticed my friends were buying white dishes, too. WHITE is CLASSIC!
My friends were all good sports and beautiful models … (that’s Carrie from La Pomme De Portland)
Amy from She Wears Many Hats.
Lori from Recipe Girl.
Robyn from Adda Pinch.
I love their lamp section.
Kid section.
Outdoor selection.
Glass pieces.
And of course the tablecloth inventory, which I’ll be posting about later when I show you the beauty that I have coming my way.
And then it was time to head back to the conference so we piled it all back in the car and headed to Fed Ex where BlogHer shipped it home for us.
Now for the $100 HomeGoods GIVEAWAY

Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this “icon” portrays a great message. It says that dinner parties are attainable, they are affordable, and that they can be beautiful even when on a budget. 
I would head straight to the furniture section.

I would head to the kitchen items first. I have a thing for plates, platters, linens… sigh.

Thanks for the chance.

I hate to admit it, but I’ve NEVER been to Home Goods. My friends RAVE about it.

I would head for the kitchen section….always love to find new treasures!

I would have trouble deciding which area to start in because we’ve only been in our home for 8 months and have a lot of needs! But I’ve been wanting some summer color to pop in around the house, so would head for seasonal stuff (is that a section? No Home Goods stores here, can I shop online?)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HomeGoods! It’s a “happy place” for me. I’m pretty systematic when I shop there, making a big clockwise loop around the store. In every store I’ve been to that means that the dishes and table linens are to the left when you walk in the door. So that’s where I would head first. I’m looking for some pretty white dishes for everyday use.

Looks like y’all had a blast! If I had a giftcard to spend at HomeGoods I would try to be good and look at lamps first, as I am desperately searching for a pair. However, in the end I KNOW my win would be spent on table linens…they are my weakness. I must have ten dozen cloth napkins…and we use them for every meal. You wouldn’t believe how many kids have never even seen a cloth napkin!

Oh, there is a new Home Goods going in near my mother-in-law’s house and I can’t wait!! When I told my husband, he asked what they sell at Home Goods. DUH! HOME GOODS!

I would dash and gaze at the furniture section for a bedside table and maybe a quick look at the lamps for one to sit on it! I love Home Goods!
[Reply]
I love HomeGoods and shop there for everything. But right now I’d head to dishes, table lines and kitchen section. They have great vinegars, oils, pots and pans….all types of spices! Plus ours has the clothes and shoe section which is a one stop shopping!

Lamps for my girls’ room!

I’ve never been to, nor heard of a HomeGoods store, but I can tell from your pictures that I would relish my first visit! I would head straight for the kitchen area, for sure!

Oh, this is a tough one! I guess I’d say I’d hit up the decorative accessories first. I love HomeGoods!

I’d head straight to the outdoor decor/fun plastic dishes. The scary, 13-year, Middle Tennessee cicadas will be gone soon. Time for fun on the patio!

It looks like so much fun! I would head to the entertaining section because there are several parties I will be hosting this summer and it would be awesome to have some fresh pieces to liven up my tablescapes.

At Home Goods, I would head straight to the outdoor decor section. We’re entering my favorite season and I love to have friends come over on a summer evening!
[Reply]
Seriously?!!! Only one section?! How do you commit to only one section????? I would probably start in decor, but bedding is always fabulous there too! Or maybe new towels…or maybe the fun dishes and cookbooks and spices! Impossible to choose just one section, but I could DEFINITELY spend that gift card!!
[Reply]
Ooooh I have to pick just one section…furniture
[Reply]
I would head straight to the Kitchen items! Love dishes!

I’d go to the kitchen dept first, then outdoor dept second. I always have to cruise the whole store every time anyway – such good stuff everywhere! Looking for something special for the deck this summer, bet I can find it there!
How wonderful to have your goodies shipped home – nice perk!
[Reply]
We don’t have that store where we live now, but we’re moving in less than 2 weeks and there is one where we are going, so I will head straight to the dishes section because we are moving to a new state and cannot take much, we need new ones!
Thank you for the chance to win!
[Reply]
Home Goods is one of my all-time FAVORITE stores!! Thank goodness we have one right in our neighborhood
I’d probably head straight for the dishes…they have so many pretty ones. Thanks for the give-away!

It would be a huge split the furniture section because I need 2 new chairs for my living room but…. I LOVE to drool over their lamps too!

I would head right to the lamps!
[Reply]
I would say I would go to the dishes first (I ALWAYS check what’s new and catching my eye) and then head on over to the pillows. And also the decorative items… It’s such a fun store because you never know what you find and “need”!
[Reply]
I would head to the rug section first. I am in desperate need of a rug for my foyer.
[Reply]
OMG, thanks for this most gracious giveaway! Thank you for hosting and Home Goods for giving. Me, I’d drive the 350 miles to my nearest Home Goods and plop right into the table setting dept… dishes, tablecloths, glassware.. you name.. You’d find me drooling over all the good stuff!

HomeGoods is my mothership, along with Ikea. I’d definitely spend that gift card on kitchen gadgets!
[Reply]
Organizing section – baskets.

That’s easy. I always go to the dishes and kitchen things first. I literally go up and down every aisle at Home Goods and that’s the first section when you go to the local store here. Probably why I love pretty dishes so much too!
[Reply]
Servingware, definitely! Then on to outdoor entertaining stuff! We “heart” Homegoods here in So Cal!

Love Home Goodies. Got an exquisite shower curtain there for pennies on the dollar. Also got darling Blue Willow dishes — modernized. If I won I would head to the furniture or lamp area of the store.

Love Home Goods!!!! Its so hard to decide how I would use $100, I think it would be fun just to go and see what strikes me, especially since they are constantly changing the stock.
Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!!
[Reply]
Wow…it IS so hard to choose a section in such a great store: however, I would probably start scouring the “home accessories/decorative vases, etc.” section…I’m sure that’s not the technical name…heehee. Anyway, we have several empty shelves, as well as, empty walls in our new-ish home.
Thank you for offering such a wonderful giveaway!

Oh my goodness! We just got a homegoods store in our area and I checked it out recently! I was so impressed with their huge selection and low prices. I would love to get a great big clock for my foyer! Thanks for the chance to win!
