How to Enter the Hobbit Giveaway:
Note: Experiencing difficulties with Rafflecopter – if you don’t see a Rafflecopter box below, please come back. The giveaway will be going on through December 21st. Sorry for the inconvenience!
the flask
Let’s talk about that Hobbit flask. You get a 6 oz stainless steel flask sporting the vivid vintage book cover of The Hobbit; plus care instructions to ensure you can enjoy your flask for a long, long time. Stellar Custom Images‘ designs are coated with a thick epoxy resin that protects against the elements, so you don’t have to worry about your favourite Hobbit flask scratching or peeling. You may forget your pocket-handkerchiefs, but don’t leave behind your Hobbit flask the next time you run out the door on a dragon adventure.
Whether you turn out to be the lucky winner or you choose to buy a flask, you will appreciate the quality and clean simple detailing of Angela’s work. Be sure to check out the other designs she has and note that Angela can create custom flasks as well. Don’t forget to order a sweet flask-sized funnel, too.
the posters
Nicholas Hyde creates original art prints for well-loved films and characters. The vivid colours and simple, creative designs will complement whatever wall they hang on. Nicholas makes all the designs himself and each one is a mixture of inspired-doodling, hand-drawn illustration and computer graphics. One winner will receive two 11×17 posters — one of The Hobbit & one of The Shire.
Check out his Etsy shop — a treasure trove of Christmas gift ideas. Covering fan classics from Disney, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, X-men and more, there’s certainly something for everyone. Right now he’s even offering a special buy one get one free if you like his Facebook page.
the tote
Not all those who wander are lost — technically this quote is from Tolkien’s sequel to The Hobbit, but it’s still fitting for Hobbit week. Can’t you picture Bilbo carrying around just such a tote; filled of course with extra pocket-handkerchiefs, pipe tobacco, and probably some seed cakes in case he had to miss second breakfast. What would you fill your tote with?
Tote is made of 100% natural cotton canvas {10oz.} with a strong bottom gusset and is 15″ square by 4″ deep.
HandmadeandCraft is currently closed for vacation so you can’t shop Kimberly Layton’s creations today, but go check out her blog, Everything Etsy, and say hi.

I’ve read it only once, but always memorable.
Do want.
I’ve always wanted a flask. This is my chance.
may the best flask-fan win! :)
I’ve read at least half a dozen times. And my fave is Galadriel! Always and forever.
you’ve read The Hobbit 6 times – or LOTR? (or both)
whose your favourite character in The Hobbit? (Galadriel doesn’t show up until LOTR; crazy to think of all the great characters that didn’t even exist yet in Tolkien’s imagination when he first wrote The Hobbit)
Okay, I need to read a bit better. I do love Samwise Gamgee. I’ve only started to read the book this past year. I’m a late bloomer :)
It’s never too late, Julie! :) With Tolkien, it seems things happen when they’re supposed to happen.
Love Samwise Gamgee!!
I love this so much. I’m going to be so jealous of whoever wins it!
you do know that you can try to win it yourself, don’t you? :)
And apparently I can’t read instructions ;) I’ve read the Hobbit probably around 4 or 5 times, starting with 5th Grade! It was a book for class! :) One of my all time favorites in required reading! :)
Seriously. I never got to read it as “required reading” – but how amazing that reading The Hobbit could be your homework??
Smaug is by far my favorite character in the hobbit :)
intriguing. care to elaborate?
I have only read The Hobbit twice…but I have read the LOTR 5 times over. Currently on round 6!
yeah, I think I’ve now read The Hobbit three or four times and the LOTR six, maybe seven times. so good every time.
once I took Fellowship with me to Ireland and finished it faster than I expected and ended up buying a copy of Two Towers because I couldn’t wait until I got home to start it again. :)
