by Briana Carter on March 25, 2009 · 105 comments

If you're new here, you may want to have these bargains delivered right to your email or subscribe via RSS feed. If you are new to couponing, check out my series the "15 days of Couponing." Thanks for visiting!

5 Minutes for Mom’s is having an Ultimate Blog Party this week. If you are stopping by from the Blog Party, my name is Briana and I’ve been writing about the Bargains since July 2008 (sine Bargains don’t find themselves!)

For those new here, I live in Indiana with my husband and four children ages 10, 8, 4, and 2. I work full time and work on my blog part time in the evenings! You can read more than you want to know at about me.

I also review products on my review blog called “Buzz…by Bargain Briana.” I offer my solicted and unsolicited opinion on a variety of products. Which is what brings me to this exciting giveaway to thank you for stopping by….

One lucky reader will be win a P.J. Sparkles doll from Zizzle for themselves and one for a friend.

What is P.J. Sparkles? P.J. Sparkles first came out in the 80s while I was busy playing My Little Pony. Princess PJ lives in Twinkle Town with her Sparkle Friends – Dazzle, Sparks, Flare, and Glowee.

I am loving these dolls because they are cute, portable, and my almost 3 year old daughter is loving her sparkles dolls! Her heart even lights up - the doll’s heart that is! She loves playing with dolls (as well as trucks!) and it is so fun to listen to her little conversations with her dolls.

One thing different than the P.J. Sparkles of the past – is P.J. Sparkles is high tech now. She has a website where you play games, paint, read stories, and watch videos!

I have a gift basket business and it is the most requested gift over the last 15 years.
From the comments I have already received, it appears to be something a little different and something anyone could use.
I have been so touched by the comments that I have decided to give 2 boxes . They will be the $100 deluxe size. I really do want to bless people!!! I have decided that giving is life at its BEST. The drawing will be Saturday!
