Mother's Day Extravaganza! Retro Planet Review & $100 GC Giveaway
Remember the good old days when there were malt shops in every town. Remember when Super Man was just in the comic books and leg lamps were all the rage. Even if you don't remember those things exactly, you might still appreciate a little retro decor. Its a unique idea for your home or office and makes a fun gift. With Mother's Day coming, it would be a great time to start shopping at Retro Planet. You can find gifts that will remind your mom of her teenage years or maybe something unique for her special collection.
For my review, I decided on the Antique Style Gumball Machine which was a great choice for my mom. After years of working towards the goal, my parents just opened their own restaurant and one of the things they both agreed they had to have was a classic gumball machine for the checkout counter. This was just what we were looking for. You can use any type of candy from the classic gumballs (which are also available on the site for an additional charge) to jellybeans. You can set the machine to distribute one or more pieces and it takes any form of currency. The restaurant will actually be opening on Mother's Day, and this beautiful gumball machine looks perfect on the counter.
The gumball machine is only one example of so many amazing items you can find at Retro Planet. They also have a large selection of collectible items like Coca Cola and Harley products. If you are planning ahead to Father's Day, they also have some unique baseball items. Shipping is super quick and free on all orders over $79 so its a great time to get all your shopping done. For more great Mother's Day gift ideas, be sure to visit Rita's review over at One2Try.
For this giveaway, we will be doing things a little different. Retro Planet thought it would be fun to offer one huge prize instead of two smaller ones on both of our blogs. So Rita from One2Try and I are doing a combo giveaway. Winners will be drawn from the combined entries on both blogs. For my entries you can do any of the following and leave one comment for each entry you complete.
1) Visit Retro Planet and tell me what you would get if you were the lucky winner
2) Become a fan of Retro Planet on face book
3) Follow Retro Planet on twitter
4) Subscribe to the Retro Planet newsletter
5) Post this giveaway on face book (One time only)
6) Tweet this giveaway (once daily)
7) Enter the retro planet giveaway on One2Try
This giveaway will end at midnight on 4/19/11 and is open to the continental US only. The winner will be chosen via a random number generator. Thanks again to Retro Planet for offering this great prize!

Hi, I illustrated a children's book that coincidentally makes a great Mother's Day gift. It's called "I Don't Want To Be The Mom Today!" and it's about a mother and her little girl who decide to switch places for the day. A lot of moms, particularly first-timers, have gotten a real kick out of it. Check it out! http://www.arrtworks.com/mom/
I would get the Spices and Coffee Sign Set.
