This week’s Surprise Giveaway is one for the ladies… especially if you’ve got a bachelorette party, bridal shower, or girls night out on the calendar!

Bachelorette Superstore has tons of fun partyware, wearables, decorations, and accessories for all of these occasions, and they’re offering up $100 shopping sprees to 2 lucky ladies to spend as they like at BacheloretteSuperstore.com. So if you – or someone you know – is on the market for some glittery party tiaras, hot pink wigs, feather boas, “Pinkalicious” partyware, or the like… this one’s for you!

There’s some really cute stuff for bridal showers in the Baking Essentials category too… mixed in amidst all the MUCH MORE bachelorette-oriented “essentials” guaranteed to make Martha Stewart blush, of course! I really like these umbrella and diamond ring cookie cutter shapes though… and the cute champagne and pink & red lips cupcake toppers (great for Valentine’s Day too).

Bride-to-be not really into pink & black? Try the Something Blue for the Bride party kit instead (pictured above). This would even be fun to dress her up in at a playful bridal shower!

And if your planning a bridal shower, be sure to check out the adorable Love Birds (below) and Pink Dress designs – both would make for a super cute, (PG-rated!) celebration…
