GIVEAWAY: Extend Your Summer with Coldstone Creamery and Make-A-Wish

I remember the first time I entered a Coldstone Creamery. It must have been about nine or ten years ago when we walked into the Town & Country location in Palo Alto. The line was out the door, and we could hear the singing staff members announcing to everyone that they’d received a tip. It was a joyful atmosphere, aside from the smiles that a bowl or cone of ice cream can illicit on its own. I waited my turn in awe, pointing out the signs featuring concocted mixtures of candy, pie, cake and ice cream on the wall to my hubby and watching the staff chop and mix the ingredients together on the icy cold stone counter.

With sizes named “like it,” “love it,” “gotta have it,” and over 11 million possible “creations,” it was as though I’d found my heaven on earth. I mean, come on – they have cake batter flavored ice cream! Lest someone inject, “But that stuff’s so bad for you!” I offer you their webpage with tips for limiting the calories, fat, etc. to enjoy one of their healthier indulgences.
 

Coldstone Creamery is celebrating “Make-A- Wish” month throughout September, with a special Make-A-Wish creation, and taking $1 donations for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. You can try the special Make-A-Wish concoction for free at a Coldstone Creamery near you:

Coldstone's 9th Annual “World’s Largest Ice Cream Social”
Sept 30th
5 p.m. – 8 p.m.

In honor of Coldstone’s work on behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, I offer you the opportunity to extend your summer memories with a month’s supply of Coldstone Creamery. I’m giving away $40 in gift cards to Coldstone Creamery for one lucky winner to use as they wish – on seven “love it” creations, on a custom cake for an upcoming celebration - whatever your heart desires.

GIVEAWAY: To enter to win $40 in gift cards to Coldstone Creamery, just leave a comment below. I’ll choose one winner via Random.org at midnight on Tuesday, Sept 14th 2010. I’ll list the winner here AND email him/her (provided they submit their email address in the appropriate comment entry box) to get their mailing address to ship the gift cards out ASAP. Coldstone provided the gift cards to me at the Bloganthropy Awards dinner last month. Good luck!
