Grateful Giveaways Mother’s Day #1: Snoopy

by

The first giveaway will be sure to put a smile on the face any Snoopy or Peanuts fan … or anyone who has fond memories of the saying, “Good Grief Charlie Brown“! The Peanuts comic strip by Charles Schulz that began in 1950 and lasted for 50 years, went way beyond the newspaper. Snoopy has become one of the most beloved comic strip characters, along with Charlie Brown and the whole gang of Peanuts characters. Holiday TV Specials such as A Charlie Brown Christmas and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown have become timeless classics, and must-see shows during holiday time, and they continue to delight each year.

Also- be sure to check out Peanuts.com …  they have a wonderful collection of everything from Vintage Snoopy to current Peanuts Gang happenings. This comic strip that has warmed the hearts of so many children and grown ups alike, continues to do so today.

My Review:

I was so excited to get the prize pack from Peanuts!  It’s so hard to choose a favorite from this package because everything was so nice!  I love the Snoopy T-shirt,  lunch bag, the movie, and the Linus figurine, but my absolute favorite is the Coffee Table Book!   My kiddos thought it was really neat.   The Coffee Table Book is absolutely wonderful!  My kiddos and I were entertained as we looked through it.  There is wonderful historical info about Peanuts in the book as well as artwork and more.  My husband and I were very impressed with the quality of the book and all the neat stuff inside.

Peanuts Worldwide is giving, one lucky SheSaved reader will win a prize package that includes The Peanuts Collection Coffee Table Book, a Hallmark Happiness is Hanging Out Together Figurine, a Snoopy T-shirt, a Hallmark Happiness is a Full Tummy Lunch Bag and a Blue-Ray/DVD called Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown.
