Remember when you had the chance to win a $50 certificate to a certain gift-y store last month? It was a shame we only had one winner. So let’s do it again!

This week is your encore opportunity win a $50 certificate to GiftsForYouNow.com, just because you’re pretty. And because they’re generous. Hooray!

Want to win it? First go review the contest rules and regulations, then come on back here and leave a comment on this post by 8:00 a.m. Eastern (that’s 5:00 a.m. Pacific) on Thursday, August 13th for an entry. Winner to be determined by random number generation and swoopiness of your monogram. Well, the random number thing, anyway.

Ready? Go!

  1. You don’t get swoopier than a big initial S.

  2. I’ve got dreadfully boring letters for a monogram (BAR), but I love what it spells 🙂

  3. TDC FTW!

  4. Mine is MFO – and even better my maiden monogram is MFR. AND, I even go by my initials much of the time: MF. HOWEVER, I went to Catholic grade and high school and it wasn’t until I got to college that someone asked why people were calling me “Mother F***er”! Seriously – no idea that was going on.

  5. hmm…. “L” can be pretty swoopy…. loopy, if nothing else.

  6. Mine are swoopy, because I have FOUR letters — two last names (no hyphen, though): JDGR. Imagine how swoopy all those letters are (even my Js, because they are not remotely like they are supposed to be, because I have — ummmm — unique handwriting! Yeah, unique! ;~) )

  7. Yes, please! 🙂

  8. RMA =)

  9. Gotta love encores : )

  10. I would love to be the other winner! My monogram is kind of boring KMB however when I was little I used to pretend KB Toys was really my toy store!

  11. THW ?

  12. Mine can be swoopy…. LWP… make a big W!

  13. enter me please!

  14. Me please!

  15. When I was single I used to write my initials hooked together so that they looked like a little butterfly. (EJB) Unfortunately I got all traditional and took my husband’s last name…no more cutesy monogram. 🙂

  16. LIke these second chances!

  17. LJA. 🙂

  18. I always thought swoopiness was a word. Thank you!

  44. TMB may not be exciting, but I’d still love to win!

  45. Hurray for second chances!

  46. dlm in cursive! but my name is swoopier than just the initials. i used to make my name (dani) into the shape of a whale, and the dot on the eye would be water coming out of the spout. i have no idea why i did that though.

  47. yes please count me in!! not to swoopy, but hope random number thingymabob will still let me play. 🙂

  48. What are the chances random number generation will pick me…

  49. It would cheer me up if I won something!

  56. ANother great giveaway, thanks.

  57. I’d love to win and get something unique for my dd as she begins her first year of high school.

  58. Mine is ALJ…not sure of the swoopiness factor!

  59. Hmmm…SLG isn’t very swoopy. More along the lines of a garden pest that people try to drown in beer. But all of the pain and suffering I have because of such a monogram would be alleviated if the random number generator randomly generated my number.

  60. Woohoo! Early Holiday shopping!

  61. Can an L be swoopy? Sure it can, look at the L that Laverne DeFazio put on all her shirts!!! Swoop me right into that gift!!!
