Okay, so there's a funny little story behind this giveaway. I actually WON this in a random contest awhile ago but never even opened it because I already have a flat iron that I love and I don't really need two. Well I completely forgot about it until we decided to clean out our basement recently and it turned up. So.... how do you feel about re-gifting?? LOL I normally don't re-gift. BUT this really is an awesome flat iron (or so I've heard) and I would rather see it go to one of our wonderful blog readers than sit in my basement!!If you want all the specs and stuff on it, I found the exact model on the Misikko site here: Babyliss Flat Iron. It looks like the regular price is $140.00 and it's on sale right now.
Oh, and for all of you who worry about this sort of thing (like me, yuck) it is BRAND NEW! We've never taken it out of the box or used it, so you don't need to worry about the ick factor of someone elses hair being ran through it. Tee hee :)

So curious, what flat iron(s) do you recommend? I recently had my hair styled with one and I'm in LOVE but I want it to be a good one because normally, I have insanely curly hair including hair in front that has some big time damage issues so it's got to be a good one. Would love to enter the contest but as I'm in South Korea right now, probably can't. :(
Love your blog. I get so many comments on the hairstyles I use. Send everyone here.
Follow you on facebook
Wow! That's a great prize!! I'm in!
I'm so excited about this one. I have wanted a flat iron for so long, but haven't been able to put the money out for it! I've wanted to use one for my daughter for so long and now someone has shown me how to use it on my own hair!! I would be SUPER excited to win this!!! Thank you for your blog and all your ideas - my dd and I love to look through them together to pick one out to try!! :)
I don't know what Google Friend Connect is, but I have you in my Google Reader. If that doesn't count, just delete this comment!! :) Thanks!

I have never regifted. I wouldn't feel stupid or dumb doing it. if it is something that is useful and I really wouldn't use but would still be okay receieving. amsbolda@hotmail.com
Oh gosh, I'm embarassed to say I have re-gifted a few things (Blush)!! But in my defense, they have been nice things that you would never know were re-gifted. But I had received a silver tray for a wedding gift that was just really not "me"!! Well my SIL is really "froofy" and would DIE if she knew she got a "re-gift" but I did it and she loved it and as far as I know, never knew!!! LOL!!! (sheepish grin)
In this case, I would say that you are "sharing" your gift vs re-gifting!!! Because you're telling us!!!! :)
I'm very excited - hope I win!!! heehee...
I am a follower...of your blog anyway... :o)
I saved all of my "doubled-up" wedding gifts so that I could re-gift them. Don't judge me. :o)
love your blog...I look every day for a new style...so fun!!!
I'm a fan on Facebook!
I regift if it is a nice gift! there is no need to pass around something that isn't worth giving.
I follow your hair blog and would love to win a flat iron!
thanks!
I love your blog. Wish you'd been around when my older girls were little enough they'd still let me do their hair.
I added your button!!! Whoo Hoo!!!
Became a fan on FB...Sweet!!!
As for re-gifting...love it. Why not do it? It makes for great white elephant gifts sometimes...or for that last minute party or whatever...I don't really have any great stories..bummer...
Hi, I'm having a GREAT hair day today, and don't know why. Thanks for the fun blog, and wondrous giveaway!

Regifting something caused me great embarassment. My aunt bought me a crockpot for Christmas, I already had one, so I stored it, and then gave it as a shower gift for an office co-worker's daughter. My aunt had put a card inside the box that held the crockpot, she somehow slid it into the sealed box (I guess she resealed it.) Horrors!
My email is cdziuba@aol.com and is clearly visible in my profile. Thanks!!
i think this is a great item. I'm a firm believer that if you don't want something, find someone who does.

Thanks for the cute hair do ideas!
oooh! another chance to win! Count me in.
I love your blog and read it in a reader. I have waist length hair and wish I could talk my husband into trying some of your styles on me.
I am amazed at your little girl's patience! And, I recently learned you are on CrackDot. So am I! :)

I unfortunately have no entertaining stories about regifting. Sad. But sometimes I do feel it is okay. As long as you don't give it back to the person who gave it to you first!
I find re-gifting to be liberating. No one has the same styles and tastes. Not really. If I am not likely to use a gift, I feel like I should pass it on. Why should it sit in my closet when someone else can get use out of it. Last year a fellow blogger posted re-gifting receipts. They are to be included in a receipt to give permission to re-gift.
To be sure that I do not give something back to the person it came from, I keep re-giftables in a box with the name of the original giver.
My flat iron is getting a little sketchy, so pick me! :)
I want to give my curly hair freedom from being frizzy and out of control.
I do regift when I know someone else can the gift much more then me. Usually I keep things, but if I can do something for someone I will.
I already follow your blog on Google Reader!
Ooh! Me me me me me!!! I would love to win that! Thanks for the chance (again)!

LOVE your hairstyles...I can't wait until my daughter gets a little older (and a little more hair) so I can play :)
I've re-gifted before, but only if I really thought the person would like it :)
And I'm a facebook fan!

I would love a flat iron!
Yes i've re-gifted before. For a full year after we got married we didn't have to buy a single wedding gift because we had been given mutiples of stuff like 7 laundry baskets!

I regifted an Itunes gift card.... My sister gave it to me for my birthday....and I hadn't used it wasn't planning on using it. So when her birthday came around a year later I gave it to her as a present (she never knew)
And regifting, oh how I love regifting!! I did it with several presents, and for my own wedding, I received several presents I am sure were regifted. Hey, you never know, one mans (or womans) trash, is anothers treasure! I figure, if its still unopened/unused, who cares?
Pick me! I love reading your blog!

I'm all for regifting, sometimes you just don't have a need for a wonderful gift so why not share to the love. Of course I'm sure to give it to someone that won't cross paths with the original giver.

I think that re-gifting is okay, if done correctly. If it is something that just does not go with your style, or you already have one, and you know someone that would really like it, then I say do it!

I don't have any funny stories of re-gifting. I have gone to peoples homes and seen gifts I have given sitting in a closet a year later still in its package. I think its just great to re-gift. I would do it.
lindz_e@msn.com
I DO re-gift...we have our pile of double (and triple) wedding gifts, that we will re-gift. The funniest thing that we did was get a songbook from our friends, when we opened it up, it was personalized for them! I don't think they realized this, which is why they re-gifted it. To make it even funnier, we ended up re-gifting it to some of our mutual friends! lol
I follow your hair blog. Love it! =) Lindz_e@msn.com

Re-gifting is funny. I think like this giveaway, where the gift isn't opened, and really we wouldn't know otherwise that you were re-gifting, it's fine. However, if you can tell that it's been looked it, used or is being re-gifted, don't do it. It can be rude and tacky. But if the other person has no idea and it's a good gift for them, lol, then it's fine. :)
youre button is now on my blog! :)
I am a fan on facebook...and a fan in general! :)
I have re-gifted, and been given a re-gift too. For our wedding we got something and opened it up, inside there was a card to someone we had no idea who it was. I am suspecting that it was a re-gift, of a re-gift. My new husband and I just laughed and laughed. Then with all of the gifts that couldn't be taken back, we made a "prize" closet for all of the weddings that we were attending. Of course we made sure that there weren't any cards in there to give away that it was a re-gift. :)
aldwedgi@hotmail.com
Oh we've regifted MANY presents...wedding presents. We were really poor when we got married (ok, we're not millionaires now) and so instead of buying my friend's presents for their weddings, we regifted and gave them ones that we would never use or had doubles of. :)

I love your hair blog! My girls have so much cuter hairstyles thanks to you sharing your talent. Even my sisters that don't have little girls check your blog everyday because of the cuteness you creat.

I am a fan of your facebook page.
I feel that re-gifting is perfectly fine in MOST instances. There are a few times that even if you don't like something you should keep it around because it really means something to the person that gave it...but overall I thing regifting is a wonderful thing. I don't mind if someone regifts something I gave them if they can't use it, and I have regifted things I know someone else would like but I have no use for.
I do regift, and think it's entirely okay! Sometimes something will be more appreciated with someone else.
Today is my birthday and my flat iron just pooped out on me this morning! How fun would it be to win this?!
Oh!! I would love to win this! My little girl has short curly hair, so when I try to flat iron her hair, my big one just makes a mess of things! I love your blog, and your posts. Keep up the good work! Terésa
Count me in! I like re-gifting because it puts those things you don't want to use again--maybe! I had a porcelain vase and frame that I got for my wedding that I could not stand! It sat in my shed for over three years until my husband's cousin got married. We gave it to the new couple for their reception present and they loved it! Ha! I'm sure glad! Hehe!

I absolutely think re-gifting is good. I think one CAN get carried away with it though, and you want to be sure not to give the same gift back to someone, but there have been a few times I would get presents for not close friends that gave me a generic present like lotion, or a pair of earrings that aren’t my taste and I have thought ‘my sister would LOVE these.’ Totally for it. And I totally do it!

Regifting:
I think it is great too. I don't see a thing wrong with it. My little sister's last name was Ward. I asked her where she got that wonderful baby deep fat fryer she gave me and she responded, "Wards" that was before Montgomery Ward went out of business, then she added, "well Ward's closet"
I still have that fryer, still use it, and think of her every time I do. I think it is great.

I think Regifting is Great!! I try to be Frugal so it works for me, I have done it a few times wedding gifts and such, when you get 5 of the same item why not, especially when it's a great item you just don't need 5 sets of mixing bowls!! I am sure I have been regifting things but I think it's great so I don't mind!!

I had a friend re-gift some unopened Chanel eyeshadow. Yes I am definatly OK with it!
Also could really use the flat iron because my daughter decided that I should re-gift mine to her without my knowledge...haven't seen it all summer! lol
I just stumbled here from somewhere else - I don't even know where anymore haha, just surfing through people's links. Great site! I'd love a new flat iron - I have one but I am not a fan of it.
My daughter is reaching her teens. She would love it if I won a flat iron, She is always wanting to straighten her curly hair.
hi i follow u with google
i am a fan on facebook
thanks for the contest
I have never flat ironed my hair, but I'd like to try it. I wonder what my hair would look like totally straight....
regifting is the ultimate way to go green.
Fan on facebook.
I am in dire need of a new flat iron. Mine is on its last leg and I have curly hair.
I rarely curl my hair, but my daughter is asking to use that "hot metal curl thing" - so here is to curling!
i dont mind regifting...i do it too. i shop second hand stores for everything. thanx for the honesty on this too.
wow 450 degrees! will i have hair left? hehe
my curling iron fell in my drain clogged sink full of water. it was still on after i pulled it out (yes im physcially fine..oops)i dried it off, i needed to finish my style so i used it.....holy crap my hair instantly turned brown(was blonde) and fell off (like nano-seconds)no you cant put it back. i brushed it and pulled it back, i had to go to work. it was the whole front side ...gone. its almost grown back. geez
Count me IN!!! Straighten away...wish I had curly hair, but since I don't, using a flat iron is part of my daily task!!! In need of a new one!!! My hairstylist uses this one...I am envious, but excited that I could also own it! I'll be crossing my fingers!
I'm a blog follower!
I am a fan on facebook now, thanks
Well...I can't say I am completely proud of some of my re-gifting moments. So, yes I have regifted! I actually took some of our wedding gifts that we couldn't find a home to return it to, wrapped them up, and gave them as wedding gifts. SHHH!!! I hope no one I know recognizes this! Oh, well...I HAVE re-gifted some good things too, at least I think they were good!
I think regifting if fine, most of the time. However, my son's birthday is Dec 28, and since no one wants to attend another party that time of year, and since I don't want him getting regifted the Christmas rejects, we celebrate his half birthday in June - way better time of year for a kid party!

I think re gifting is ok if its done correctly like you have chosen to do:)
I think that in this case re gifting is a prize twice...when you received it and when you will give it away.
I think its great!
I think this is a great giveaway...you have the most relaxing inviting blog.
Pick Me pick me! :) I also follow you on Facebook already. :)
Thats so sweet of you to "re-gift" it!!
My sister has been wanting a professional flat iron for some time now, I would love to win one for her- she would never expect it!!
yasmineo142[at]hotmail.com
Re-gifting, Yes ill admit it, Ive re gifted before but I wont re-gift something I hate or that is ugly. If I dont like something I cant give it away. If i regift something It would usually go along with another part of the gift. So baby clothes... I have TONS i got as gifts. Ill go out and buy a new outfit or baby item and add some baby pjs ive gotten as gifts to compliment the gift im giving out.
I follow your blog! Love it!!!!
