When people asked me what I was thankful for on Thanksgiving, the first thing that came to mind was this website. Fantabulously Frugal started out as a hobby – a way for me to fill my time once I completed grad school. What it has turned into, however, is so much more than a hobby! I am thankful for the opportunities I’ve had to get to know all of you readers, Etsy shop owners, and companies. Everyday I am so thankful that one of you decided to subscribe to this site, let alone the (almost) multiple thousands of you that keep reading as well. You are all awesome and everyday you make my day. Seriously.

To share my extreme gratitude with all of you, I decided to call up a few of my favorite Fantabulously Frugal supporters (OutfitAdditions.com, BeautyTicket.com, and Go-Girl), as well as cash in a bunch of sample sale credits I’ve been saving up from RowNine, RueLaLa, Ideeli, and Gilt to create the best giveaway I could come up with because, and I cannot stress this enough, You Deserve the Best.

 Let’s get to the gifts, shall we?
