Funky Chunks Gift Basket Giveaway--Winner Announced!
Friday, June 12, 2009 at 6:15PM in Giveaways 
Congrats, Rachelle! And thank you to everyone that entered and retweeted about the giveaway!
It’s time for a giveaway! Michele from Life, Lightly Salted has started a bath and body company called Funky Chunks. She has some very cool soaps and equally cool packaging! Add to that that she’s very creative and a sweetheart, and you’ve got a winning combination. You can also check out her soap blog called Funky Chunks for news and new items. We have a winner! Rachelle, from Mommy, I'm Hungry has won the basket.
Anyway, Michele contacted me last week to see if I’d like to host a giveaway for her. Um, hell, yes! So she immediately got some samples in the mail for me to check out. Not only are they in cool packages, but they look, smell and feel great! My favorite has to be the Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub, and the Pucker! The Pucker! is an herbal dill blend that smells so fresh and clean. But the Tuscan Summer smells great, too. Really, they all do!
So what do you get? A basket with a $30 retail value, including, from Funky Chunks:
- 4 full size Chunks of Tuscan Summer, Pucker!, Sweet Basil and Root Beer Float
- 1 Sample Chunk of Green Tea Zen, a soap dish and a big bath scrubbie.
And bonus! Janine, the owner operator of Things That Make Scents has thrown some stuff in, as well!
- Brew This! coffee - Jersey Girl flavor (apples, toffee and peanuts)
- Tea light candles in Melon Mania and Blue Sea Glass scents (descriptions HERE )
Michele let me know she may toss a few extra things in there, too--so that’s an extra bonus.
I took a few photos of the samples Michele sent me. I thought you may want to see her products and packaging:

Great giveaway!
Went to Funky Chunks and I have to have the Tuscan soap. To enjoy the smells of a Tuscan summer is to hard to pass up!

Went to Things that make Scents....The idea that I can get that glorious clothesline scent in a candle to smell all the time is so exciting.
Nothing smells better than clothes right off the clothesline!

I would want the Brownie Batter Soup and the Almond Biscotti Candles. I may have to take a bite of them!
Sweet Basil From Funky Chunks sounds so clean and fresh.
How ever do I choose as Things That Make Scents? If I had to pick one I'd say From the Vineyard. It sounds interesting.
The Funky Chunks soap is pretty cool. The root beer float flavor sounds fun!
2nd entry for candles: The Boardwalk Point Pleasant sounds good. I used to go there as a small child so it seems appropriate a flavor to pick.

Give me another entry! ;-))
Since root beer is my favorite drink I would have to say Root Beer Float soap because I have never tried a root beer scented soap. What amazing scents of soap she offers!!

Such lovely candle scents. I would choose (and the choice was hard) Goodnight Kiss: A playful blend of vanilla and caramel.
