Thank you for all the entries and wonderful comments for this giveaway. We’ve really enjoyed reading all your stories about your best & worst Valentine’s Day.

Thanks again to everyone for taking the time to enter the giveaway and we hope you continue to enjoy Things To Do For Two.

———————————————————————————————–

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we thought it would be fun to do another giveaway. We realize that a lot of people have strong opinions on Valentine’s Day. Some people hate it, some people love it, some people think it is just an excuse for Hallmark to suck money out of our wallets. Regardless, we think you’ll enjoy this giveaway. It’s a gift basket full of coffee related goodness from the good people at Perks Coffee. It includes a travel mug, a t-shirt, a few different types of coffee, some Gold and Specialty Club cards, some heart shaped chocolates, and more.

If you’re looking for a nice gift to give on Valentine’s Day for that coffee lover in your life, this fits the bill nicely. Or if you prefer, you can keep it all for yourself. We won’t judge you.

Winner: @untitleddesign is the winner of the iPod Touch, congratulations!

It looks as though the fall season is in full swing these days. The leaves are falling off the trees and the temperatures are steadily falling. Hopefully you are all enjoying it as much as we are. We’re always looking for ways to keep warm through the cold months of fall and winter. Of course, one of the best ways to warm up is with a nice hot drink. That’s why we’re giving you the chance to win your very own french coffee press.

Last night we pulled out a french press to make some tea after supper. We had never attempted it before so we weren’t sure what to expect. It turned out to be very easy and the results were great.

First you boil some water. Then you dump in however much loose tea or coffee grinds you want into the bottom of the press. It’s a good idea to wait a minute or two before pouring the freshly boiled water into the press so you don’t burn your coffee. Pour in the hot water and let it steep for however long you like. Once it looks good, just push down on the press and watch the grounds collect at the bottom. That’s all there is to it.

The Prize: 1 Bodum French Coffee Press

How to Enter:

1) If you haven’t already, sign up for Twitter.

2) Go to www.twitter.com/thingstodofor2 and click on the Follow button.

3) Send out a Tweet that says:

“Win a Bodum French Coffee Press from Things To Do For Two. Pls RT. Details here: http://bit.ly/2WJ3u3”
