WINNERS ANNOUNCED!
Thank you to all who entered this give-away! It was so much fun to read about everyone’s favorite things and how much of a hit the mug warmer is! It’s sad that so few people know about them, but I’m glad I helped enlighten you all to their wonder. :) With that said, because I had such a great response, I have chosen one grand prize winner for all 3 items and have added two bonus winners to receive a mug warmer! Even without the cute mug and candle, hopefully you will enjoy this fun little addition to your lives. So, without further ado, here are the winners!
Grand Prize: Lauryn Galloway! (via random.org)
Bonus Winner #1: Leah Cross! (via random.org)
Bonus Winner #2: Anne Simmons….because she wrote a haiku poem as her comment, and that just had to be rewarded! :)
I’m bummed that you ALL can’t win, but thanks again for the great response and stay tuned, because you never know when I’ll be in the mood to give-away more fun stuff…. :)
____________________________
I’m rather sad that my birthday week is coming to a close, but what better way to wrap it up than giving away some cool stuff?? It seems only right to bless someone in return, after being so blessed myself not just on Monday, but for the last 27 years. Life is good, and I think this next year will be no exception. :)
On any given day, 3 things that are always gracing my desk and, indeed, that make my daily work life very happy are 1) a cute mug filled with coffee or tea, 2) a wonderfully scented candle burning and 3) a mug warmer keeping my beverage from needing to be reheated 5 times before I’ve finished. So when I was deciding what to give-away, I knew this was the trio of perfection!
So here’s what YOU can win:
1) A beautiful mug from Anthropologie
2) My current favorite scented candle from Anthropologie
3) A Mr. Coffee mug warmer
The mug warmer is serious a game-changer in my opinion, and I literally use it every single day. It keeps me from getting distracted during work by reheating my coffee or tea, because I’m probably one of the world’s slowest drinkers and can be working on one cup for a couple hours (true story). So, while the mug & candle are awesome, this is probably my favorite part of the winning loot!
HOW TO ENTER:
1) Comment on this post expressing why you’d love to win, or what YOUR favorite daily things are.
2) “Like” the Facebook page
3) BONUS ENTRY (not required, but will count additionally in your favor) share the link to this post & my Facebook page in a status
So that’s it! Good luck to you all! I will announce a winner on Monday! :) Hope you have the best of weekends!
Some of my favorite daily things are texts from my boyfriend, my yellow and blue floral pillowcase, and my favorite Raspberry Earl tea :).
I always have a mug filled with something sitting on my desk too! :) My dorm is empty without coffee, tea bags, and hot chocolate. ;)
I have way too many favorite things to narrow it down, but today it’s coffee in a Doctor Who Tardis disappearing mug, my cold glass bottle of Topo Chico and my headphones because they are allowing me to listen to the NPR show “This American Life” with Ira Glass.
That mug is adorable! And I need a mug warmer for work, it takes me almost all day to drink a coffee.
Though I’m not a particular coffee drinker I LOVE this collection. But I want to enter for my mom. She loves coffee in the mornings and would absolutely love this package (not to mention how useful the coffee warmer could be- we reheat coffee more than we drink it. Haha) :) I think it would be a lovely and helpful surprise.
Ps. I already liked the FB page
LOVE Wardrobe Wednesdays! I take forever to drink my hot tea too! i didn’t know mug warmers existed! But it is a genius idea that way you can enjoy all day ! :)
Some of my favorite things during the day are my warm fuzzy couch throw, my Coca-Cola, and my children’s toys near by so I can sooth them with them when need be :)
How the HECK did I miss your birthday? Oh my gosh, friend! I’m so sorry! Sending MUCH belated love your way today, along with a birthday revelation:
When I visit Richmond, I actually do want to see you.
I know, I know. You’re welcome! ;)
(watch your mail!)
Oh, and my favorite thing, of course, is, uh, YOU?
a few of my favorite daily things are good ‘ole English breakfast tea, checking things off the to-do list & a cute outfit to inspire my day! Happy belated birthday!!
Oh wow! Why did I not even know that such a thing as a mug warmer even existed! I need one!!
Favorite daily things are my french press and fancy stabilo marker/pens and moleskin journals.

My daily favorites are Caribou Coffee (dark roast of course) on my front porch chairs looking out over Main Street with my puppy and sweet husband! I want to win because I’m obsessed with that anthro mug and would LOVE to have a coffee heater!! I use a candle by my desk every day too, it provides a relaxing environment :-)
You are SO generous to do a giveaway like this! Like you, I have a cup of tea by my desk every morning! That mug warmer is SO cool! I’ve never heard of such a thing before :)
That mug is so cute! I feel if I had it my kitchen would look clean and organized and dainty.
My favorite things in the morning are hitting the snooze button and not going to work. It sounds like I need these give aways ha.
I love when my sweet husband makes me a thermos of tea in the mornings for my drive to work. And I would love to display this cute mug on my desk at work and my co-worker would love to smell this candle burning :) We have a candle going all day everyday.
YES. that candle is incredible. the whipped cream + pear is just as life-changing…and having coffee that stays warm over the time it takes me to finish a cup would also fall in that category.
This is like the best giveaway ever!! I always use a thermos to keep my tea warm, because it literally takes me allll day to drink 16oz of tea! My purse is always filled with a variety of Tazo tea bags so I never have to go tea-less. :)
I could really use this! I can not tell you the amount of times that I am running from my office for a quick 20 second warm up of my coffee. It would go wonderful with my lens mug! As far as the Anthro mug and the candle go? Most likely my wife would be the one using those when she is assisting me on the business side of work. Besides, when does a guy ever win these kinds of things? That’s gotta count for something!
A daily favorite of mine is Starbucks French Roast or Espresso roast coffee. I would love to win, because this mug is amazing, and would be perfect for my morning coffee or afternoon tea. And I love the idea of the mug warmer, because I too am very slow at drinking my coffee, and it gets old microwaving it all the time.
My favorite daily things are snoozing my alarm, snuggling with my kitten who is as soft as velvet, and coming home from work having no agenda for the rest of the day :)
This is the most adorable giveaway ever! Count me in! I LIKED your FB page over a year ago and have enjoyed every minute following your posts and pictures. :)
My favorite daily things are my husband, waffles in the morning, and lots of free time.
Just shared your post and FB page on my Facebook! :)
Happy Birthday! How sweet it is of you to do a give-away for your birthday! I would love to win. My early morning are spent working for a few hours with k-6th graders and my second part of the day is spent in an office, at a computer desk. I think this mug would be perfect on my desk and definitely an upgrade to the styrafoam cups I currently use — so boring! And Oh how great a mug -warmer would be!! I just did not know such things existed lol!I take forever long at times to finish my coffee or tea! Vanilla and fig candle sounds like it would smell delicious! Have a loverly day Tori!
You’re adorable. And I just couldn’t resist the opportunity to think of my three favorite daily things! My three favorite daily things that made the cut are as follow: our framed, written vows on the wall, a cozy mug full of coffee and endless possibilities, and lastly (but not leastly), the corner of our couch to snuggle with a good book. These are a few of my favorite [daily] things.
I’d love to win because I am insanely curious about how that candle smells!! :S
I love burning that candle, it’s my favorite. I love a good book and a comfy quiet place to read, a couch, a coffee shop, a hammock,( those are my favorite places) and I love having a good cup of coffee/hot chocolate, especially on a rainy or cold day, if it goes hand in hand on the days I have time to read it makes it that much better <3
Ahhh what a fantastic giveaway! I am currently sitting here sipping tea from my yellow Marvelous Things mug….which is in fact one of my favorites. :) And Anthropologie is a favorite store. And I think I would make the hubby’s desk cozier by giving him the mug warmer…I think he tends to linger over his warm drinks longer than I do. :)
I love favorite thing posts! Makes me miss Oprah :) That coffee cup is gorgeous and would make photo editing way more fun.
Happy birthday! :) Oh, that mug is gorgeous! <3 My favourite daily thing is listening to my huge playlist of movie scores. :)
Oh goodness, that mug is adorable! A few of my favorite daily things are my .38mm pen, journal, and green apple Chapstick. :)
Daily things… Sleeping late, Jared’s homemade vietnamese coffee, and our cats waking us up in the morning begging us to feed them. ALSO: Id love to win because IVE NEVER WON ANYTHING. Please pick me!!
What a great idea! I’d LOVE to win this. Everything is so cute and well thought out. Plus, that mug warmer will be my next purchase if I don’t win! And of course, I love everything Anthro. :)
This is an awesome giveaway! I kinda have a little mug collection going, scented candles are my favorite, and I could totally use that mug warmer for when I get distracted and forget to drink my tea or coffee. :)
Mugs are one of my favorite things too! Love the set.
The daily things I love are quite simple and totally are just ME! I love a good book, and getting to curl up with it at night. A nice workout, where your not to tired but feel super accomplished. A nice cup of sweet tea (hey, I’m from the South! Can’t forget that!). A planner to keep events and thoughts. A dinner with my loving family. And my quiet prayer time with God. :) The reason I’d love to win this is because I have an obsession with Anthropologie, but yet I don’t have anything from there! I also adore pretty mugs. Honestly it would make me so happy and joyous to win this! Thank you for the opportunity!
I think that the combination is so cute and I love the mug :)
You are so creative, girl! I really like Wardrobe Wed’s.
Oh my goodness, I would love to win all these things because. . . the mug is darling, coffee or tea are a daily must, candles. . . oh I love how cozy they make everything!!!!, and the mug warmer– goodness I didn’t know they even make those things. I would use it all the time as I never get my hot drinks down before they get ice cold, and have to start all over or warm it up. Now that I have gotten my gimmee, gimmee’s out of the way, I do hope you had a splendid birthday, Tori, and I love the little bit I know of you through your blog and photography!!!
Eee! I love all these things. I am an avid tea drinker and work at a desk a lot of the day as well, so this would be positively perfect! ^_^
Two every day must haves are my burt’s beeswax lip balm and my aeropress with gevalia coffee!
I will express why I would love to win, haiku-style (like gangnam-style, but not…)
Cold Coffee, a touching haiku by Anne Simmons:
My coffee is cold
I wish I had a warmer
Oh, Tori has one
My Favorite things are spending time outside in my yard (or looking at it through a window) and crossing things off my to do list! Happy birthday to you :-) I hope it was wonderful!
My Birthday was this week as well, It was Wednesday the 10th. I have to admit it wasent the best of days but I’m thankful God has given me another year of life, and I’m excited to see what he has In store for me. Love the cup, it’s gorgeous.
Hooray! Because my wedding photographer has great taste, and because Anthropologie is the stuff of dreams (but not budgets), and because husband drove two hours just to take me there soon after we were married and let me pick out something (under $20). :)
Hmmmmm….favorite daily things…choosing my outfit that day, singing around the house, daydreaming….. It’s a beautiful mug! I love drinking hot drinks!
Happy Birthday! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. I would love to win the giveaway and give the Mr. Coffee mug warmer to my father, he always reheats his coffee and forgets about it aha. MY favorite daily things are kitty kisses and naps with my cat :)

I love that mug and it would make Andre really happy to have that mug warmer! :)
I would so love to win….these items look so lovely!!!
I love me some coffee and tea, too! I also love showers, quiet moments, and anything pretty scripty…..quotes and photos of loved ones are pretty sweet, too.
I’d love to win because I just started working from home (I’m a writer) and I’m ALWAYS drinking coffee or tea. I’m a slow drinker too so my coffee always gets cold before I can finish it. A mug warmer would be such a lovely thing to have, and I don’t know why I never thought to look for one before! Winning these wonderful things would just make my day. :)
Happy (late) birthday and thanks for hosting this giveaway!
***I apologize in advance for writing a book as a comment and I hope it isn’t TOO much***
Happy Belated Birthday Tori! I follow your Blog, Instagram (which is where I saw this first) and now Facebook too! :)
I’m also an RVA photographer and you (as well as a few other showiteers [KJ, Lauryn Galloway & Laura Gordon]) have been a huge inspiration and role model for me. Your brand/website is so original and lovely, it makes me happy. <3
I am also a huge fan of Mustard Yellow and COLOR in general. I can often be seen wandering the streets in a long, yellow winter coat, or bright blue and turquoise rain coat.
I've only just started promoting my photography and business, even though I've been shooting professionally for much longer, so I would love to have a connection with a local photographer who I respect. Having a beautiful addition to my desk and editing process would be a great start, as well as, a perfect reminder of the community I need to make myself more a part of.
Also, I just moved and now have my very own home office which I am attempting to furnish and decorate. A mug, warmer and candle would be excellent additions to that project! Not to mention, that mug is adorable and the candle probably smells amazing… I don't think it's possible for me to dislike anything from Anthro. I adore that store, which is why I only allow myself a couple trips a year or I'd go broke!!! I also suffer from the inability to finish any warm beverage before it gets cold. Coffee will last all day sometimes and I think that's partially because my sips get smaller as it cools and becomes less tasty haha. It would be so glorious if it stayed warm through out an entire editing session!!!
A few of my favorite things… I'm a snacker, so there's always either something sweet or salty on my desk. More often than not sweet wins. You'd be hard pressed to come in and not be able to find some piece candy on my desk.
Moving on… PENS, I love them. My boyfriend works for an office supply warehouse and sometimes he brings me home new styles and samples and it brightens my whole day! *Enjoy the little things*
Lastly, I need some kind of audio at intervals throughout the day (I have a sleeping disorder, so if it's too quiet and I'm sitting still for too long I'll fall asleep). Whether that is cinema, music or radio doesn't matter too much, I love it all! I'm a member of Spotify, Hulu, Netflix, and Audible to support this daily need. I love NPR (especially Radio Lab and Fresh Air for editing) and audio books because I feel like I'm gaining knowledge while I'm editing! The movies can only be ones I've seen before because I just listen to the audio and picture the scenes in my head. Musically, I listen to a variety of genres and artists depending on my mood.
Thanks so much for doing this giveaway, it is an excellent excuse for me to reach out and and show you a little gratitude for being a great role model in this industry, while also letting you know a little about who I am… Bonus– I would love to actually receive those items. :) haha I'm usually not this open on the web.
I'm sharing your links on both my Facebook profile and my Facebook page!

Have a great weekend! Thanks again, you rock!
Beautiful items! And happy birthday! :)I love the idea of a giveaway for your birthday!
My favorite daily thing? I always start my mornings with a steaming cup of peppermint tea. And I drink it slow, just like every morning should go. I think the warmth of it keeps my body from going into shock with all the morning rush. A cold glass of water in the morning can just be brutal in my groggy body. I’d hardly say morning is my favorite part of the day, but my peppermint tea definitely brightens things up and I love to sip it during my morning prayer/devotions.
But actually, I think my mother could use the coffee warmer. She’s always asking me to warm up her coffee because she’s such a busy lady that she hardly gets time to sit and drink it before it gets cold.
And plus… her and I just love cute coffee mugs. We’re getting the sweetest little collection. :)
I would love to win these! I’m such a huge coffee + tea drinker, but sometimes I can become so engrossed in a project that I’ll come back to my hot drink to find it’s cold (and not as refreshing or yummy). and with spring here (or…almost for us), fresh scents sound lovely. AND WHO DOESN’T LOVE MORE MUGS?! :)
Oh, I’d love to win the coffee mug I think! They’re all wonderful, but I’m a bit of a pushover for a pretty teacup or mug. :-)
i’d love to win because I NEED THAT MUG WARMER. why have i never thought of one before?! i too, am the world’s slowest coffee/tea drinker and get my daily exercise by getting up to re-warm things. and that anthro mug is to die for. and the candle looks heavenly…anything with vanilla is. so yes, i definitely need to win.
Like your page! Oh, and Happiest of Birthdays to you!
Happy Birthday!
I would love to win this giveaway because these prizes look lovely and I’ve been eyeing one of those candles at Anthropologie for a year (I know…one day I need to just bite the bullet!). I think my favorite daily’s are sweet tea, instagram (so inspiring), and good smelling lotion!
Um, I guess I’d like to win because I loving the Anthro mug and candle (LOVE their candles!!) and am in dire need of a mug warmer since I too love coffee and tea. :)
Happy belated birthday, btw. My 29th is in two weeks.
I just liked your photography page and shared a link as well.
I home school my daughter and my favorite thing is to wake up every morning knowing I get to spend it with her. I love our time together, learning and growing.
AH! I’m in love with that mug! I love tea, coffee, hot chocolate, apple cider… and I’m kind of obsessed with mugs. And candles, for that matter.
Also, a mug warmer?! I didn’t even know there was such a thing. But it would be absolutely perfect, especially because the tea I’m drinking now is cold due to my laziness in walking downstairs to the microwave. :-)
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
this is looovely!! favorite everyday things include notebooks. yes. must have available paper with me wherever I am, or else I shall begin to write on my hands… ;) but seriously, moleskins are my favorite.
this is such a fun giveaway! I love that mug. :)
I’d love to win this because, well, let’s face it. There is no better way to edit images of the most gorgeous clients than with a cup of coffee or tea in hand. Plus, if you edit long enough, you will most definitely need a warmer, because we all know that “ain’t nobody got time” for walkin’ to the kitchen to rewarm your cold beverage. ;) Okay, hopefully that made you laugh a little because I think this is a totally awesome giveaway!! Thank you for doing this on your birthday. :)
My favorite daily things: a cup of mint java mate tea from Teavana, writing or doodling in my journal, talking with friends on the phone, taking pictures, and running/walking with my dog. And I could also use a mug warmer, because I also happen to be one of those very slow and distracted drinkers. :)
I’ve never tried the coffee warmer but now I’m intrigued! Coffee and pretty candles are two of my fave things :)
Happy Bday!
I would love to win because the mug is so cute & I have been wanting to try that Anthro candle for what seems like forever now :) The warmer would be nice to because I often get distracted and forget all about my tea and then I have to get up and reheat it in the microwave.

I miiiiight just be a slower drink-drinker than you are. Happiest of birthdays, love. Enjoy 27— it was my favorite year yet. :)
My favorite things every day? Watching the sun come up as I eat breakfast in a quiet house, and watching the sun go down as I drive to work!
My favorite daily things are my french press, and art from my sister that hangs on my walls.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TORI!!!!!! :) I’d looooove to win this giveaway because 1) who doesn’t like pretty mugs?!? 2) Anthropologie. duh. 3) candles! yay! yummy scents! :)

I shared your blog + giveaway!
I’d love to win because the mug is cute and I like drinking tea…the other things go right along with it!
My favorite daily things are reading the Bible & reading other books…and drinking tea is always nice. :)
My daily favorite things are … a cup of coffee, Instagram and my grey stripe pajama pants :)
Posted on my Facebook wall. ;-)
Ohhh, winning the warmer would totally make my work day because I too am a tea sipper!
My favorite daily things usually consist of admiring the beauty in the new day, having conversations with God, enjoying a hot cup of coffee or tea, playing with the dog and all the sweet texts from my boyfriend.
