Ahhh, Lands’ End. You know how I love them. You know how I triumphantly brandish every free shipping code they release. And last week, the Lands’ End folks reached out to me and I could barely stop myself from drawing little pink hearts all over my computer screen.
See, Lands’ End is promoting their vast array of women’s swimsuits right now, and they offered to give away a choice of swimsuit to one of my readers. This quickly became complicated, though, because then the winner would have to pick something and relay that choice to me and me relay it to Lands’ End, and we are nothing if not lazy, ’round here.
So instead of your pick of swimsuit, you’ll just have to suffer through with a $100 gift card to Lands’ End, instead. Feel free to buy one of their awesome Slender suits (not because you need it—heavens no!—but because I love mine so much that if I could buy a neck-to-ankle version to wear with, well, everything, I totally would), or some other swimsuit, or anything else you want. If you win and you want $100 worth of socks, well, that’s your business.
For a chance to win, simply leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, April 16th, 2008. One comment per person, please! Winner to be determined by random drawing and tensile strength.
(If you need a swimsuit—or something else—right now, well, get free shipping on your order with code SWIM and PIN 530530530 through April 17th, 2008.)
Good luck! Go!

If all this time spent in the gym the last couple months pays off, this may be the year of the swimsuit for me!
Me, me, me, please pick me! We’re moving soon and the kids and I all need new swimsuits! The kids because they outgrew theirs from last year, and me because I neeeeed something tugless! Nothing like chasing after little ones in the kiddie pool while pulling and tugging at a wet saggy swim suit riding up and drooping in all the wrong places – I need to make a good impression with the new neighbors ya know!
I need a new suit! At water aerobics last week my suit was a bit too “bouncy” if you catch my drift. I won’t say any more than that.

Their swimsuits are darling. I would love a new swimsuit!

Yes, make my tummy look smaller.
You are so pretty, Mir!
I’m thinking I could use a new suit since I probably won’t get away with my maternity suit now that my baby is 15 months old. Sign me up!

What a great contest. I’d love to get a new suit from Land’s End…since the only one I have is maternity (and no longer needed!).
Oh, that would be such a wonderful gift! I could buy myself a tugless suit! Or I could buy some cool shoes! Or I could buy some shorts for my kid who are growing like weeds and could use some shorts if it ever warms up around here. No, No, back to me. I could buy myself a nice sweater…..or…
I’ve never entered a contest here before, but I really want to buy a Lands’ End Diaper bag for the baby I have due in 5 (!) weeks, so here I am!
I can’t tell you how badly I need a new suit… my husband and my children would greatly appreciate this so they don’t have to be embarrassed by my old suit…..
A new suit would be killer!

every summer I look at other moms on the beach and get jealous of their cute, slimming Land’s End suits..this year I feel I must get one..mostly because after two years, it’s not really “baby fat” anymore…….
I shopped all weekend and only looked longingly, from a distance, at the bathing suits, because I really need a new one. It’s not in the budget this month unless it’s free!!!!!
I’d love to be a winner of something! Anything! Me! You’re very pretty!
I don’t know how contests don’t drive you nuts with so many entries.
I haven’t had the budget to buy clothes in YEARS. I’m very hopeful, LOL!

Yay for swimsuit season! Um, did I just say that….
Count me in!!!!
thank you!
You KNOW how I NEED things…for this new slimmer body of mine…and how I’m going to a certain tropical island even though the fear mounts…I will be victorious! So…a swimming suit…yeah. I need one. Bring it ON.
