it's a giveaway, people!

I may have developed a slight case of diaper envy. It's the kind of thing where SLIGHT = AND NOW I'M BUYING DIAPERS FOR FUN.

But I can totally justify it. All day long, if necessary.

You want to see? I'm so glad you asked. It's imperative that I have (because they're for ME, naturally) more fitteds in the stash because I'm using wool soakers and longies on a regular basis, and my plain old boring still totally useful prefolds aren't always the best choice for using with wool because if the Snappi is not on just so, then the diaper slips and unfolds, where UNFOLDS = POOPSPLOSION, and mama don't love no poopsplosion.

Twitter has done this to me. I could list specific people who are VERY BAD INFLUENCES to me, but I'm no narc. The week of Thanksgiving, I kept hearing talk of the GINORMOUS Black Friday sales going on. And I fell for it. Black Friday sucked me in.

I hit RG Natural Babies. And I hit hard. (Well, for me, anyway.)

I bought three kinds of Rockin' Green: Cherry Almond, Lavendar Vanilla, and Mango Sorbet. I bought Snappi Diaper Fasteners (this was an actual need). I bought triangular crayons for HB's stocking. It's possible I even purchased two DryBee's Gone Natural fitteds. And a DryBees Fleece Night Time diaper with a Knickernappies SuperDo Insert.


Like this, but black.
To go with the skull and crossbones babylegs.
Naturally.

And I had my stuff by Tuesday. That there is some fast shipping.

I was surprised by the scent of grape wafting from my package (how many times have you heard that one?), and discovered that instead of sending me a lavender vanilla scented Rockin' Green Soap, Michelle sent Grape Soda.

I sent her an email to let her know I'd received the wrong item, and she responded quickly, asking me to please wait while she sorted things out. And because I'm awesome like that, I was, well, awesome like that.

BUT THEN!!!!

Something happened that I did not expect at all. Michelle emailed me that she was shipping me the Lavendar Vanilla Rockin' Green Soap, and that I should just keep the Grape Soda flavour, and Merry Christmas to me!

So here's what I'm doing, because I want to spread the awesomesauce around:

I'm giving away the Grape Soda Rockin' Green Soap that Michelle gave me. And Michelle is giving you all a coupon for 5% off your next purchase at RG Natural Babies! Just type CHRISTMAS in the coupon place during checkout.

Here's what to do:
Leave a comment telling me about a company with great customer service, or about someone who did something nice for you, just because they could.

1. Follow me and Michelle from RG Natural Babies on Twitter, and tweet this: @pameladayton and @RGNaturalBabies are spreading Christmas cheer! @RockinGreenSoap giveaway http://daytontime.blogspot.com. Leave a comment. Tweet as often as you like, but remember how we all feel about spammers.
2. For five extra entries, make a purchase at RG Natural Babies, and leave your order number in the comments. I'll be checking up on this, and you won't win if you say you made a purchase you didn't actually make. Leave five comments.
3. The standard Dark Chocolate In My Mailbox Bribe will get you five extra entries.

Contest will close at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, 23 December, 2009. Winner has to email me back within four days or I'll pick someone else, so there. Please include your email address, because if I can't reach you, you can't win.

Now go forth and comment. And be nice just because you can.

Here's the disclosure, just in case you can't read English and missed it the first time around: RG Natural Babies gave me some Rockin' Green, just fer nicey. And I'm giving it to somebody. Just fer nicey. And I'm shipping it on my dime.... wait for it... just fer nicey. So there.

  3. Don't enter me, cause I am baby- and small child-free, but I LOVE when I hear great stories of customer service. During bad times, great service is a deal-maker! And kudos to you for the publicity for them, so their service doesn't put them out of business. That's a win-win.

  4. Laundrytree has GREAT customer service! I wanted to try the soapnuts b4 purchasing them and they sent me a free sample with the baggy AND paid the shipping. It was enough to do 10 or so loads of laundry!

  5. Hmmm - customer service....??? Maybe I need to shop more online as I am having a hard time coming up with an example... But the girl I work with did something nice for me and wrapped every stinking one of my Christmas presents... that is right - no all nighter on Christmas Eve this year!!

  9. Well one time this girl at Macy's put her friend on hold and set her cell phone on the counter while she rang up my stuff. Instead of keeping it wedged between her ear and her shoulder while she bagged it all. I'm pretty sure that only counts in Southern California.

    The security guard at our bank opens the door for me every single time I have the double stroller and/or more than one child with me. It's not something he does for everyone, and it is usually very helpful because I can focus on controlling the stampede to the suckers.

    Working on the Dark Chocolate... he he.

  11. I ordered a diaper sampler from Mom's Milk Boutique on Black Friday, and Abbie let me get a Thirsties Duo instead of the Bum Genious that was included in the pack. That was really great since I already have 3 of the BG.

  13. @marybethrabon sent me a whole bunch of prefolds and a snappi just because she knew i was handwashing my clothdiapers and she wanted them to last me longer so i could make it three days and do them at my mom's house, bless her heart.
    @anathanmagdz sent me a snappi from growing green bums, and my friend kim sent me some prefolds and fitted diapers her boys don't use!
    that's nice.

  17. I once had a hostel that I stayed at in Egypt go way out of their way to help me after I accidently left my debit card in an atm there, which was very bad as I needed that card to withdraw money for our trip. They helped me get my card back from the bank that had the atm that took my card.

  23. I won a shirt from Resa Designs. After a few wears it had these weird mice bite looking holes. I emailed them to tell them, about it an wondered if they had seen this before. She immediately sent me a new shirt, which I did not expect!
