A Happy Housewife Gift Pack Giveaway- The Donna Reed Show, Vintage Apron, and 1950's Cookbook

Are you looking for encouragement as a housewife?  Would you like some old-fashioned ideas and practical resources to help you with home economics? I have a great giveaway for you!

In celebration of my one-year blog anniversary, I am giving away a wonderful gift pack, designed just for housewives. One random winner will be selected to receive three items: Season One of The Donna Reed Show; Vintage Style Apron; and a 1950's Cookbook.

1. Season-One of The Donna Reed Show (4 disk set of DVDs).




I love The Donna Reed show. This 4 - Disk set (of Season One) was originally aired in the late 1950's.  It always cheers me up, inspires me and makes me happy. Remember a time when home life was less complicated? When families loved home and Mom was the beloved center of it all? (Retail Value: $22.49)

Product Description: "The show revolves around housewife, Donna Stone, and her family--husband Alex who is a pediatrician, 14 year-old Mary, and 11 year-old Jeff. The Stone family reside in the midwestern town of Hilldale. Donna was the perfect American housewife and mother. She was always neatly-groomed, lovely, good-natured, thoughtful, and capable. The episodes involved the usual family problems and adventures, with Donna usually saving the day in her quiet, capable way."

2. A Vintage Style- blue and white half-apron.

 This adorable apron will be fun to wear each day as you cook, clean and keep house. I love my aprons and am always looking for something new to add to my collection. This one is really cute! (Retail Value: $19.99)


Product Description: "A vintage kitcheny print in a full skirt style apron with pockets and ties at waist. 22-inch length by 70-inch hem. 100-percent Cotton. Machine washable. Its not just an apron, its an accessory."

 3. 1950's replica of  Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook.

This cookbook is amazing! It is full of nostalgic illustrations, helpful information and lots of recipes. It was originally published in 1950, when cookbooks were just like a manual on home economics. You will LOVE this book! (Retail Value: $19.77)

Product Description: "It's the book that started it all, the well-loved edition that first bought Betty Crocker cookbooks into American homes and hearts. Published in 1950, this ground-breaking title made cooking easy, it made cooking appealing, and best of all, it made cooking fun. Packed full of practical tips, useful hints, and lavish color photography, this was the book that shaped cooking for generations, the book that people remember. Every recipe you -- or your mother -- ever wanted is here, from pigs in blankets, to Emergency Steak to Chicken Tomato Aspic. Enjoy the clever ideas throughout -- twelve months of birthday cake ideas, showing how to decorate a cake to match each month's gem stone, pointers to make setting up a kitchen easy, or hints to make housework more pleasant. Feel a part of history when making Home Front Macaroni, developed during WW II rationing to stretch meat. Get into the spirit of fun with a Betty Crocker "Cookie Shine" or cookie baking party. People who grew up with this book will want it for the memories; those who are new to the book will want it for its charm and its intelligent approach to cooking. It's a perfect keepsake and a great gift."
